Some mad lad bolted one of these to the hand guard of an L85 and called it a weapon light.
This was, of course, really to add mass to the rifle for when it was used as a bludgeon, because it is so British that it spontaneously ejected its own magazines as a form of silent protest against violence.
That’s also why they got rid of my all time favorite candies: sour altoids.
Unrelated, but I had constant raw flesh on the top of my mouth for almost a whole year before those got pulled from the shelves.
It’s just a ball of plane batter with coke mixed in.
Look up a recipe for fritters made with flour, replace some liquid with coke syrup. Easy.
AMD is a lot cooler than NVIDIA
The “front” or “forward” direction of a screw is clearly the face of the fastener itself, be it a hex head, Phillips, or Slotted screw. Picking a side of a face as the front doesn’t make any sense. The whole thing needs to rotate one direction or another, and it will either rotate to the right to tighten, or the left to loosen.
If I ask you what the front of a clock is, are you going to tell me it’s the top curve near the ceiling? No it’s the face of the clock, and the hands rotate around it to the right.
If you follow that arrow around to the next with your hand, which direction is your hand moving?
That is indicating clockwise rotation, or a rotation to the right. We’re talking about circles here
The whole thing is rotating to the right, that’s what clockwise means. Clocks rotate to the right. One arrow is not pointing left, it’s pointing in the direction of rotation, which is to the right.
What the fuck are you talking about.
You’re either rotating the fastener to the right or the left.
It doesn’t matter what side you’re talking about, because you’re not moving one side of the fastener, you’re rotating the whole thing one direction or the other.
Clockwise just means something is rotating to the right.
If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?
The manhattan project originally start as a way to defeat Germany, it just wasn’t ready in time.
I just thought it was flavored with rain water and depression
No, that’s a card that’s been standard in Google searches for years. It basically copy pastes an excerpt from an article written by someone else.
The AI card is an entirely new feature that is being rolled out where an LLM attempts to fill the same roll without deliberately copying a third party source.
I didn’t bring up Chinese rooms because it doesn’t matter.
We know how chatGPT works on the inside. It’s not a Chinese room. Attributing intent or understanding is anthropomorphizing a machine.
You can make a basic robot that turns on its wheels when a light sensor detects a certain amount of light. The robot will look like it flees when you shine a light at it. But it does not have any capacity to know what light is or why it should flee light. It will have behavior nearly identical to a cockroach, but have no reason for acting like a cockroach.
A cockroach can adapt its behavior based on its environment, the hypothetical robot can not.
ChatGPT is much like this robot, it has no capacity to adapt in real time or learn.
You’re the one who made this philosophical.
I don’t need to know the details of engine timing, displacement, and mechanical linkages to look at a Honda civic and say “that’s a car, people use them to get from one place to another. They can be expensive to maintain and fuel, but in my country are basically required due to poor urban planning and no public transportation”
ChatGPT doesn’t know any of that about the car. All it “knows” is that when humans talked about cars, they brought up things like wheels, motors or engines, and transporting people. So when it generates its reply, those words are picked because they strongly associate with the word car in its training data.
All ChatGPT is, is really fancy predictive text. You feed it an input and it generates an output that will sound like something a human would write based on the prompt. It has no awareness of the topics it’s talking about. It has no capacity to think or ponder the questions you ask it. It’s a fancy lightbulb, instead of light, it outputs words. You flick the switch, words come out, you walk away, and it just sits there waiting for the next person to flick the switch.
Are the corpos finally figuring out that there are not infinite people with infinite money?
They take like 10 years to release a game
They have plenty of time, just not the talent or vision to do anything good with it. Their stories are extremely bare bones, the bugs are prolific, and the power creep is more a power slide straight into godhood by level 15 because of the short main quests.
Can’t wait for my ai to hallucinate last year’s tax return
Why is MS targeting specific hardware when windows has historically been a general purpose OS?
I’m switching my machine to Linux this weekend, even if my chip is supported, who’s to say it will stay supported for the next couple of years.
I don’t know, all I know is that last time I played was right after they made the original story unavailable, so I had no connection with any of the factions or NPCs that were introduced.
Played with friends for like a week and moved onto something else because I hate games where you just grind for stats endlessly only to have them get nerfed or banned so you can grind for stats endlessly again.
