He didn't say AD&D didn't have powergamers, he said that 3rd was FOR powergamers.

On Animal Friendship, see my comment about balance: Who cares. The bear is taught three tricks and kinda hangs around, the druid doesn't get to control it. How many "friends" would you take a bullet for?

Still a problem? Get rid of the bear and see if the player wants to skip leveling their druid for three weeks and play a different character while their druid trains a new one. Time passes in real-time when not playing in AD&D and the bear will wander off after three days if the druid leaves before it's fully trained. If the druid wants to try taking a half-trained bear along on a hike, make it more trouble than it's worth. Playing AF like this is really fun.

Every edition has issues but AD&D is pretty fun by modern standards.
Intel has a ton of product lines, and a sort of parallel business of design and production, which they've started to split apart.

Their core CPU design has managed to stay relevant (and profitable) despite issues with production, and has regained some measure of success with their 12th generation.

Their production business has a good roadmap, but success in execution remains to be proven.

GPU design is a bit of a wildcard, and I'm excited to see if it pans out.

I would say it's fair to say that what came out of Intel certainly felt stagnant as the past decade drug on, but there's still promise that they remain competitive.
How to fix broken data dashboards?
Watever GlockApps is, there's no way it can tell whether my local rules moved a message to my spam folder. It also can't tell whether my mailserver moved it to spam using my Sieve filters. Therefore it also can't tell whether the email appeared in my Inbox.

I'm not sure what "disappeared" means in this context; perhaps that's the same as "dropped on the floor". The whole reason why dropping email on the floor is A Bad Thing is that doing that makes it impossible to tell whether the message has been delivered at all.

[Edit] Ah, I see. GlockApps can only tell you about the destiny of your outgoing email if the destination was one of a handful of big freemail providers; and I imagine you'd have to provide GlockApps with credentials to the recipient accounts, so that it can see if the mail ended up in Inbox or Spam. You could do that with a few lines of Bash script.

> About Macs, in my case I never liked their GUI since the very first Mac (the top bar, the menu, etc) and that's an instantaneous show stopper.

I'm a huge fan of the modern UI seen in Windows and Gnome where the "wasted" space of the title bar can show open tabs in Windows Terminal or Edge: with a minimized taskbar, the browser and the terminal can be used in fullscreen with 0 vertical space lost.
The controversy here is specifically around Stochastic Parrots, by among others Timnit Gebru and "Schmargaret Smitchell". Timnit had recently been fired by Google for a controversy that started when leadership prevented her and Margaret from being coauthors on the paper (which is critical of Google in some ways) and Mitchell was fired a few months later.

Google[0] claims the paper didn't meet the bar for publication and ignored too much relevant research. The authors obviously dispute these claims (I generally side with the authors that the "ignored research" line is a stretch).

The then amusing thing is that a number of Google authored or coauthored papers still cite it, for various reasons[1][2] (but there's another like half dozen or so Google papers at least in the ~500 citations). So the entire controversy is that the paper wasn't up to academic standards, except that empirically it clearly was.

> Were they reworked at all after being told they weren't up to standard?

There was an attempt by the authors to respond to the internal criticism, but this wasn't met constructively.

I'd have a hard time working with her because she says that the techbros of silicon valley are eugenicists. timnit's repsonse to https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/22/1050394/artifici... was "this was a beautiful article to read after spending all weekend reading about the modern day eugenics movement underlying much of the whole AGI stuff."

Ghosting is abruptly not responding to attempts at communication.

Men are in a decent privileged position where most women to most dates, culturally, wont initiate an attempt at communication. so its very easy for us to just never acknowledge the date because we never sent another text.

But thats not ghosting.

Ghosting is having a great date (or a benign one, or a bad one) and never getting a response again, or even blocked, or not even knowing if your date got home at all but not being in a position to even ask. As another person wrote, it doesn’t have any regard for the psychological consequences. Its more likely I would switch to Liam Neeson Taken mode to help a complete stranger than risk getting myself villified for trying to see if my unresponsive date made it home. The culture broke itself.

> Because it's the most prestigious and the most-well connected (i.e. the most highly prized network) university in the UK.

No. You are merely stating the mythical status that seems to have developed over the years for some reason.

There's no real reason why it should be more prestigious than other UK Ivory Towers establishments such as Cambridge or Imperial.

But for some reason everyone is brainwashed into "oooh Oxford". And for some reason there is an expectation amongst those who go there that "when I went to Oxford" is supposed to elicit some sort of unbounded admiration.
Hi all!
Many of us use pomodoro technique to focus on our work. There are many apps that help with this. The most popular one is Forest.

But the smartphone is a source of distraction itself. Before you can open the app you have to unlock your phone, see notifications, see alluring social media icons, etc. That's why we thought it was better to use a separate device for this.

ShinyTimer - made in the shape of a simple button with a screen. When you click on it, it starts the timer and blocks distracting sites with the chrome extension. There's also a colored glowing around the device that lets people around you know you're trying to focus and better bother you a little later.

There is an analog called Timechi, which gather around 250k$ on Indiegogo, but they struggle with manufacturing for two years. We can do better.

Out of curiosity, do you have any sources with actual evidence that carbon fiber is prone to catastrophic failure in bike frames/components, particularly compared to aluminum? From my (rather limited) research, there seems to be plenty of speculation and anecdotes online about the fragility of CF, but not much actual evidence of rates of catastrophic failure. My impression (not based on expertise or much evidence) is that properly designed CF is much stronger for a given weight than most metals, but can fail at relatively low loads if stressed in a way it wasn't designed for. As it applies to biking, I guess this would tend to mean that CF bikes are more likely to be structurally damaged because of a crash/fall, but not necessarily more likely to fail and cause a crash/fall. This of course supports your point that CF is not a good choice for someone who falls often.

TypeScript Error Translator for VSCode
I've also switched from a MacBook to a T14 Gen 1 about a year ago and the TrackPoint is the one problem I struggle with on Linux.

On Windows, it's buttery smooth and a joy to use. On Linux, the refresh rate tops out at 80 Hz, and if you so much as lightly touch the touchpad with your palm, it goes further down to ~45 Hz for the next few seconds. All of this makes for a very rough, jerky and imprecise movement.

I really want to use Linux on my T14, but this problem just makes the experience a pain. I really wonder if everybody recommending using TrackPoint and running Linux have somehow solved this issue?

They are still making incredibly good games (FFXIV, DQXI, Nier, Bravely Default etc.) but for every single good one I swear they make 3 utter shite too + their gacha games are not even that good considering the saturation on the gacha market and what quality games some other companies can make (see Genshin)

But at least Naoki Yoshida is on the board of directors + he is producing the next mainline FF game and I think he has the trust of millions of players considering what they did with XIV. So not all hope lost as long as he is at the company.

That's a problem you have even when not relying on "enough" right data to base your decisions off of. With data you can at least have a more scientific approach to it all. It is correct that science and data gets hijacked for political goals as well, so it's not necessarily a road to success.

This is an engineered problem. Fertilizer shipments were interrupted by a labour attack by rail workers unions limiting and delaying shipments during planting season, and who are co-ordinating with other groups to create scarcity as a means to impose stronger government social controls. There is an active disinformation campaign about attacks on food processing plants as a means to sow popular panic as well. Yes, fertilizer comes from Ukraine and Russia, but only in single digit percentages, and it also comes from everywhere else in the world. This whole situation has moved beyond a conspiracy to a kind of ideology that has seized western countries. There is a cadre of people who are creating chaos because they think it puts them at the center of it and sets them up to become the party who manages it.

We have the most sophisticated data collection and logistics networks in the history of the world, and you think we just accidentally run out of a fundamental economic factor at a key moment in the natural economic cycle, and that risks mass starvation? We can somehow predict macro climate impacts, but not manage how much fertilizer we're going to need for a planting season? It's just politics by people who use politics as a means to gratify an urge for power for its own end. I would be suprised if people were still acting fooled.

What exactly went wrong in your experience when you tried out the PinePhone? Did the modem randomly die without you doing anything? Or under high load it gave out sometimes? Some more details would be wonderful.

Maybe you could share if you tried it with the normal PinePhone or the PinePhone Pro as well.
I don't think anyone is considering doing this to race cars.
I love this project! But I feel like the attention to details in planning the project is not matched with the attention to details when it comes to capturing the essence / energy of the font as the tree progressed. Some examples are "a" for year 3 and "h" for both year 2 and 3 where the font is lacking a lot of the expression that the designer tree is providing.

But very interesting. Thank you for creating this.
I'm not going to comment on the firing. What I can say, is that all research papers should be questioned heavily. Generally, the review process is very incestuous and creates perverse incentives to not threaten publications. It wouldn't surprise me if firings are related to questioning research.
There might be insufficient data to make judgement or cause outrage, but it's still news worth reporting that this is going on.

Tangent: Often conspiracy theories start from an actual "that's weird" moment. There might be nothing to answer that weirdness one way or another, and for some folks its impossible to leave the question mark hanging forever, so they either dismiss it or construct a complete (and often silly) narrative around it. I wish we were better at taking in information without a final judgement to slot it into immediately.
I disagree that it’s selfish. I am always willing to share my knowledge, and have on many occasions, but most developers I’ve worked with don’t have much interest in that particular skillset.

If I quit my job, it is leadership/management’s responsibility to find a replacement; It’s also their responsibility to encourage knowledge sharing, cross-training, and have resource redundancy within the project.
Have you tried replacing the modem firmware? The community firmware is supposed to be much more stable.
Not at all, but it isn’t a fact
Google is free to publish whatever information they'd like to vindicate themselves. The fact that they don't is information.
