But also, my cats love sleeping on top of the covers in the spaces that build up die to the various pillows and plushies and I sometimes just have to go cuddle them

Comment on AI is bringing my friend out of retirement in ~comp
Minithra LinkI think I'd be classified as a generic AI hater, because I really dislike generative AI and I find the reliance and push of the apps like chatgpt and gemini and whatever to be a really bad thing....I think I'd be classified as a generic AI hater, because I really dislike generative AI and I find the reliance and push of the apps like chatgpt and gemini and whatever to be a really bad thing.
At the same time, I work in industry and there are very good implementations for LLMs possible, similar to the coding implementations described in the OP.
It just makes me weep for the world every time I hear someone say "I asked AI and it's like this"... Fucking use your own brain.

It's probably still leftover vibes from when it launched, when a very Morrowind-minded me went in expecting the same sort of stuff, and it was just a seemingly boring medieval world, with very little of the whimsy and magic of Morrowind. I did play a couple hundred hours of it, but that pales in comparison to Morrowind and Skyrim, which managed to bring a good chunk of the magic back.
I think Skywind is the game i'm most looking forward to in the next couple of years, when we're talking new "games"

Aside from that emergency nuclear option, I only know of keeping the person company and if the circumstances allow, trying to help them move into a better trip.
But the basics should work always - make sure they're being safe: if they want to be moving, keep them on safe paths, if they're wanting to lie down it should be somewhere soft, not the middle of the sidewalk, etc. keep them fed and watered as much as possible. If they're overstimulated reduce stimulus: turn lights down, turn music off, make a soft cozy blanket nest... If a specific stimulus is triggering anxiety, remove/reduce/replace it: could be scratchy clothes, could be a barking dog, etc.

Minithra LinkIf most people are protagonists you just end up forming new societal rules. Would definitely be a bit of a LitRPG Apocalypse scenario to start with, if we're assuming everyone gains these powers,...If most people are protagonists you just end up forming new societal rules.
Would definitely be a bit of a LitRPG Apocalypse scenario to start with, if we're assuming everyone gains these powers, of course.
Some games would be amazing to have the player character powers from, though!

They're changing things, of course, and there are new ships added every now and then, plus other content and the likes.
But what makes EVE good is the player interactions - This time around I wasn't planning to play for longer so I didn't really look into joining a corporation, but before that I absolutely loved being in a corp and just doing stuff with other players. I'm a bit of a coward so I didn't do much pvp, but stuff like mining or just random exploration or scouting was a lot of fun
It just makes sense to me that if you're going to be around traffic, you should be able to hear it - I choose over-ear or bone induction for my cycling, it lets me hear traffic including other cyclists.
Choosing something to reduce outside noise without eliminating it, as mentioned in the article, is a great choice to deal with the noisy outdoors when we'd rather be at home in the quiet
