    It's the same as with any machine learning task. You reserve some of your data as validation and test sets, train the LLM on the rest of the corpus, and then compare its predictions to the data it hasn't seen during training.

    But "making sense" isn't that useful if you don't know what it actually means.

    Soybeans. A pressure cooker makes preparing them a breeze, and they taste better than any downstream processed food.

    There's a separate roguelike mode (albeit currently disabled), into which you can import worlds from the main colony sim mode. https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Adventurer_mode

    Grammar matters to me a lot and using the plural pronoun for a single person almost causes me physical pain.

    Using "they" for antecedents of unknown gender like in "Someone left their wallet here." has been accepted for many many centuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

    It's using it to refer to non-binary people that's new.

    In the case of tridactyl, it overrides the new tab page with its own, where it functions normally. But yeah, a lot of power was lost for sure.

    This Steam review sold me on TUNIC and says it better than I can:

    Go in as blind as you possibly can. The game is a mix of a few genres and games, most notably Zelda (puzzle and dungeon design), Dark souls (souls like elements + combat) and Outer Wilds (progression is somewhat based on knowledge you gain throughout the game). If you liked any of those games you will probably like this one. Also it has a cute fox so I mean come on easy 10/10

    I've been unknowingly craving a game like this that's chock full of secrets and makes you figure things out in a neat organic way. It feels like playing Zelda as a kid all over again, without being a mere "zelda clone".

    Pentadactyl died when Firefox switched to only supporting chrome-style webextensions (of which vimium was the best I assume). For a more pentadactyl-inspired webextension, there's tridactyl. It has a command language that's much more powerful than vimium, but it's probably overkill for many.

    I like to get the food (usually chickpeas) hot in a microwave before air frying, so the fryer's heat is used only for the maillard reaction instead of slowly bringing it to temperature.
