It got awkward when King decided to be a character in his own story. But aside from that I really enjoyed them.

Witcher, I've read it at least once every two/three years for the last 18 years and it's still entertaining.

You should have seen some of the work cocaine parties I've seen. But granted, I've never seen a work-related opium event.

PHP: 0.3

These are birds, their brains can't process cubes as a shape, that's why their fractals are made of triangles.

Source: made it up.

Is this a logical statement? And does the runtime support short-circuiting? It would mean you don't have to obey physics if you don't love your mom, which is neat.

I think its real name rhymes with Fthulhu.

Stick to the training, your brain will figure out the rest. Unless you're missing self-preservation instinct, your brain will do its best to survive and avoid psychological trauma.

That includes trauma from killing others, you will dull in time naturally.

Important note: you will get psychological trauma, there's no way to avoid that. Your brain will put up some defenses (the kind of the defenses is highly individual) to prevent the trauma fucking up your life in the short term, but it will fuck you up in the long term. Only therapy can help there, though it's very unlikely to be cured entirely at all.

If you go to war and get traumatized, find a therapist as fast as you can. The longer the trauma is untreated, the deeper it becomes part of your personality. And by that I mean really as fast as you can. If you get a chance to speak to a therapist 20 minutes after you go through something traumatic, do it, even if you feel like you're managing. If you can't access one that quickly (which is likely during an armed conflict), do it as soon as you're able to.

The wording is very sensationalist. It's currently hard to trace any single output specifically, but that doesn't mean we don't know how it works. The algorithm and theory behind it are very well understood. It's just that the algorithm is very complex (and uses very large amounts of data), which is what makes tracing a single response token by token so hard.

When you read something about how we don't understand how AI works, you can safely skip that article, they intentionally use dishonest language to make it sound like something mystical is going on.

I think there's an implicit "chicken" before the egg: what was first, a chicken or a [chicken] egg?

Funny you mention colours, you can very easily determine the point where it's more green than red.

Nah, Czechia.

This is the first time I'm seeing the word Pervitin in English, while that's pretty much the only word my language uses. Most people wouldn't know what methamphetamine is, but everyone has heard of Pervitin. I thought it was some local-only name, guess it's time to learn the etymology.

Your PUK is wrong. The PUK isn't actually checked until you set the new PIN. It's stupid but it's been that way since forever, I definitely remember it on my Alcatel OT 302.

So you should definitely find the correct PUK before trying again.

I would call a 19th century book old. Like, no one I know has been alive in 19th century. That's pretty old by my standards.

Really depends on your age, I guess. For me, anything made in 1990 and later is new(ish) and everything before that is old. I imagine if you were born in the 2010s, even 90s movies feel very old.

Just tell them they won't be getting those sweet Euros from the EU, that worked every time so far.

I mean, they intentionally and knowingly destroy people's lives because some poor fella pirated. They try to bully and destroy other companies by claiming patents after the company reveals what their game will be about.

Sure, they're not the worst company, but I'm not talking about companies that openly profit from war or whatever, I was talking about companies that pretend to be friendly while actively and intentionally hurting people.

Making someone who doesn't have hundreds of millions pay hundreds of millions for the rest of their lives for sharing a stupid few games online is pretty fucking vile in my book.

But yeah, if I had to choose the vilest company in the category of looks-friendly-but-is-actually-evil, I'd probably choose Nestlé. Though all of the big 5 are also competing for the top spots.

Sure, that's why they have record profits, because their games earn them less?

Not that I wouldn't welcome UK back (under equal conditions to all new-joiners, of course), speed-running is not something EU is capable of. Nor is UK. They will not like having to accept the same deal everyone else has to when they had a lot of exceptions for everything. It will take ages before some kind of agreement is reached.
