When they say repeated, they mean repeated for all time ever. Has someone ever used the phrase “how are you today?” … yes. Has someone ever used the phrase “Pablo Picasso is my favorite brand of watermelon” before? Probably not. There are probably a lot of phrases with varying levels of “have existed before”. That previous sentence might be an entirely original one.

But there are plenty of other sentences that can be conveyed that actually exchange information but don’t generate new sentences. “So, what do you do for work?” “My favorite color is green” are almost certainly not new sentences.

A better breakdown of my sequence of numbers with the exact same values might be

1, 1, 2, 3,
1, 1, 4, 5,
1, 1, 6, 7,
1, 1, 8, 9
1, 1,
1, 1,
1

And now you have a repeated intro section per line and a sequence of totally unique numbers to that line.

“Most numbers are repeated” could mean that if you pick any given number from all the 21 numbers, it more than 50% likely to be a “1” you pick, just because 1 shows up so often.

“Most numbers are NOT repeated” could mean that if you if you pick any given number from the 9 unique numbers that show up in the set, you are 88% likely to pick a number that only exists once. But if any of these numbers were to be repeated even once, for any reason, that part stops being true.

In language, this just means that some phrases are going to be purely templates like “Hello” but some phrases are informational without being new: “I like turtles” and some are completely never happened before.

And depending on where your mental anchoring is, “we have a lot of repeated phrases in our lives, how could MOST sentences be new” or “repeating things would get old” … that stat may be hard to believe or surprising, or very obvious.

“Hello, how are you?” has been repeated plenty. But after that things start to vary.

In the sequence of numbers 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… Most numbers only appear once even though most numbers are a repeat.

• There are 9 possible numbers and most (88%) of them are not repeats
• “1” accounts for most (60%) of the entries in the sequence.

If we assume “hi, how are you?” is “1” and most sentences are another number, we can see how even with common phrases being repeated frequently, most sentences may tend to be original.

(I’ve not done the math and I’ve definitely not studied language enough to say how dubious or accurate the claim is, you just piqued my interest and I started trying to rationalize it all)

I agree. But that’s wrong because lying about current events is wrong. This is what I meant about framework. AI is a tool in that regard and not the problem. There is plenty of “real” journalism out there spreading lies too that I have problems with.

I’m fortunate I guess that most of the AI slop I dismiss is things more akin to baby panda sneezing scares mom panda. Where it doesn’t REALLY matter if it’s real because there are no consequences. It’s either funny or it’s not.

If someone were to say to you “why did the chicken cross the road?” You wouldn’t demand that there is actually a chicken. You would accept it as a framework for a joke.

The same holds true for staged videos or AI or anything. Is the framework important to the point? A video claiming people can fly and using AI as proof… That’s problematic. A staged bit where it would still be funny if it was just told verbally by a standup comedian? Who cares how real it is, the realness was never the point, the concept of the situation was.

Almost all comedy movies are just long staged bits.

And “how funny would this be if a standup comedian told this as a joke” vs “the context of this potentially actually happening is very important to the underlying humor of it” is a variable line for people. And that’s ok. Unless someone is in danger (don’t let someone jump off a cliff because ai said they can fly), other people’s lines don’t really affect you

I don’t disagree. But cooling performance does impact CPU performance in some cases even without “overclocking”

And in very hot running chips, it can start to matter.

Boost clocks depend on thermal headroom. Better cooling will get you better performance still, even if you aren’t manually over clocking.

You do know that you don’t have to change distros to change DE right?

They also get a power trip out of it. Some people would do that for free

I switched to vaultwarden back when it was bitwarden_rs due to the crazy overdone bitwarden docker setup… and then started using some of the licensed features. I have a home organization that I use to share passwords with my family. So now I can’t switch back to bitwarden official (even lite) unless they provide me a way to handle that.

I’m not opposed to paying them, but I am opposed to subscriptions for access to something I’m hosting on my own server. So a subscription license isn’t happening. I don’t see a reason to leave vaultwarden at this point

Imagine having a router with an AP built in. We don’t use that consumer tier stuff around here. 😎

I believe wine has a WoW64 implementation now, to allow 32 bit software to run on 64 bit wine prefixes. Which means any windows games (unless they are 16 bit) can work on 64 bit non-multi-arch system.

Linux games are the core problem. But they also have a Steam Runtime where they ship the entire runtime libraries needed to run a game for compatibility reasons… and Steam Runtime 4.0 (which just shipped and/or announced a few days ago?) is set up for only 64 bit systems.

So if the answer is:

• Steam itself can be 64 bit, and is moving that direction
• Windows games can be 64 bit only due to proton/wine handling the 32bit translation in WoW64
• Linux games themselves can be any architecture since the steam runtime manages the libraries for the games.

Then the answer is just “they’re getting around to it, they are only just now getting around to it for windows, and linux is a lower priority” because clearly its all possible.

So “What about linux?” is just asking if there is a timeline for the speed that things are moving in that direction.

Correct, so why does steam on linux still run as a 32 bit app and require 32 bit libraries to run games.

“on your machine” requires you to have a machine. This isn’t for people with computers already. This is for people who are already looking for a new machine, and this becomes the “ready out of the box” option.

The episode of Sawbones where they talk about this, they imply that RFK Jr doesn’t even know what miasma theory is. The thing he talks about is weird nonsense unrelated to old medical idea (which was also wrong)

Reminds me of this old commercial

If someone else is getting paid the most amount of money, I’m happy to let the most amount of work fall to them. “Sharing the responsibility” doesn’t make sense if I don’t get to share the reward. It’s a company, not a community or a family.

If this were an actual public service, the solution would be to make sure people’s needs were met so they didn’t feel obligated to take comical amounts of soda.

Things in favor of Peyton here:

• Corporations in general
• There is no rule against it
• 7-11 has a pretty regular event where “fill a silly cup, feel free to be absurd” is a thing, so there is precedent
• That amount of soda is still probably profitable for the company, fountain soda is incredibly cheap
• This isn’t regular consumption and clearly not a regular occurrence, if beverages were regularly freely available, it wouldn’t be exciting to do this and this type of behavior would go away – you have to hoard service when public service is an artificially limited quantity.
• This didn’t deprive any other customer of soda – the only downside here is a corporation losing a few cents of profit.

Things against Peyton:

• Hoarding is a bad mentality to be in (agreed with you here)
• It will take days to drink that much soda, and it will be flat and nasty

When poor people get a windfall of money, they tend to spend it all. It’s why lottery winners tend to wind up broke. Because historically, money is a “use it or lose it” for those people. If you’ve been trained your whole life to adapt to things, it can be hard to do the right thing when those things no longer hold true.

Americans cant have decent public services because they abuse them… results in Americans desperate for public services… which results in Americans taking extra advantage of any public service that is available… which results in a mindset that Americans abuse public services… which results in less funding… Its a vicious cycle.

And it is recognized in game by comparing the steam user ID of the other players on the server. Which means if someone else spoofs their name it won’t work. But if real Garry is there, achievement confirming it is him

You don’t have to have been a slave to have dealt with racism. Enough people still get really excited about their confederate flags that clearly the era is still heavily topical.

The word “confederate” means nothing beyond referring to a type of government, but when I hear it, I think immediately of the American civil war. Even though that ended in 1865 so I was never alive to witness that.

That’s not how word associations work.
