for now

i mean, json is valid yaml

i don’t know if i would take this study as “knowledge”. that map of the us? it’s just a map of chargers, not of data from the study. reading the study, they were only measuring in one county. there’s no categorisation of the type of fast charger they measured, just “a variety”. the error bars overlap enough that this could all be errors. and why only measure at fast chargers and gas stations? why not at other high-power electrical systems like transformer yards in urban areas? they alno have fans, surely.

question is, why publish it if it is so obviously (and willfully) wrong?

fun fact, that was always clickbait. the red color is only a recommendation. croatia’s is black.

it’s called “distrohopping”, and yes. nowadays it’s easier to do it in a vm, but less fun

thankfully there is a -bin package

civil law vs common law.

not necessarily. image generation models work on a more fine-grained scale than that. they can seamlessly combine related concepts, like “photograph”+“person”+“small”+“pose” and generate plausible material due to the fact that all of those concepts have features in common.

you can also use small add-on models trained on very little data (tens to hundreds of images, as compared to millions to billions for a full model) to “steer” the output of a model towards a particular style.

you can make even a fully legal model output illegal data.

all that being said, the base dataset that most of the stable diffusion family of models started out with in 2021 is medical in nature so there could very well be bad shit in there. it’s like 12 billion images so it’s hard to check, and even back with stable diffusion 1.0 there was less than a single bit of data in the final model per image in the data.

bro the difficulty is yet another reason why i don’t want to get into it. you really think i’m in a mental state to be beaten to a bloody pulp after a rant like that? i gave up on tunic because the combat was too hard.

it is my firm belief that soulslikes have ruined metroidvanias because they now apparently all need to beat you to death for attempting to enjoy them.

You clearly lack the context of the world and story of the main souls games beyond only what is on the cover.

…yes? i don’t know how much more clearly i can spell out that what’s on the cover is preventing me from playing the games.

You are very much in the wrong and deeply at that, over what the meaning of the worlds of from soft games.

until this sentence i was completely certain that you were agreeing with me

i’m glad.

idk i can barely look at the games without feeling awful, im just going off of the opinion of others

that was my point yes

yeah let me just wade through this ocean of death so i can see a dying sun set over a dead world.

things may be beautiful in isolation but the context is what gives them meaning, and the meaning in most fromsoft worlds (and things inspired by them) is “look at how awful everything is here; it’s your fault if it doesn’t get better”.
“haunting” is a better word than “stunning” there.

everything is dark and gray and meaty and slimy and gory and bloody and disgusting and sad and lonely and unpersonal and depressing and hopeless and evil and hateful and murderous and dead and off and…

even screenshots fucking wreck my mental health.

that’s not really a franchise. and outer wilds is most definitely not one.

have you tried What Remains of Edith Finch? pinnacle of the genre.

for me it feels like they don’t respect me as an adult. i need to be able to pause and save games. sometimes i get phone calls. sometimes the power goes out. sometimes i spill my drink. but no, it’s all just “get gud”.

also i just can’t handle the aesthetics .

i think an easier way would be to limit stock trading to once per fiscal quarter.

stocks were invented as a way for people to invest in things they believe in, and get some money back as thanks. with the advent of rapid trading, the economy has become hopelessly slaved to the ticker; the business is no longer what makes value, value is what makes value.

it’s all turned into speculation. eliminating that part would go a long way.

where’s the rest?
