There were multiple test releases. You can find the older ones out on the web.

Is it a good anything?

When one of them dies, they want to leave behind a puzzle so complex that entire groups of the population dedicate their lives to solving it within the virtual world. They look old enough to have a lot of favorite 1980’s and 90’s pop culture references, so those will probably be the clues.

Factorio. And… yep.

The growth will be in stocks and capital gains, in the consolidation of wealth by a few individuals.

If GDP increases, that’s just money left on the table by the ultra wealthy.

You can try to go even smaller. Hold the world icon in the lower left of your keyboard. Then at the bottom of the pop up, select a left or right side preference and it will squish the keyboard to that side.

Makes one-handed swipe typing much easier, and feels a bit more accurate with swiping too.

There was a time...

What you also provided was conjecture based on… oh right you didn’t provide what it’s based on. Citation needed.

What I meant with nobody talking about it was that outside of your post your bullet points aren’t being brought up in any reliable sources.

And violent video games cause school violence. Sure. /s

Random internet person says something that nobody is talking about. Gemini says random internet person is exaggerating the severity on most points.

I guess I’ll wait and see if someone provides citations because this feels like a nothing burger.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Apple’s legal case against OAI.

In a few hours someone will release Streisand Chat as a fork

Bring back all the engineering rigor that people complained was too slow to keep up with VC-protected Silicon Valley competition.

And bring back change & configuration management processes and documentation reviews. All the boring slow stuff.

Except now make it part of your CI/CD pipeline.

Bob spends $5 on Alice’s lemonade. Alice spends $1 on lemons from Jack. $15 on wood for the stand from Jill. Jack spends $5 on pesticide from Bob. Jill leases the plot for the tree from Jack for $10. Jack spends $5 on lemonade from Alice. Jill spends $10 on lemonade from Alice. Alice spends $3 on more lemons from Jack. Jack builds a stand to sell lemons with $20 in wood from Jill. Jill leases more land from Jack.

Take the circular money and add even more spend, even less profit, and somewhere in the background is a money tree that is about to die.

I used to run a few forums. Did some work for SMF 1.x back in the day too.

The thing that got vBulletin to succeed over UBB was themes and customizations/hooks.

The thing that made phpBB popular was it didn’t require a license like vBulletin.

Honorable mention is SMF. It replaced YaBB SE, was also free, but had an amazing mod system that didn’t require any manual file editing. And [Unknown] and his team did a great job on the database keeping it way more performant than phpBB was in the free space.

They probably have a “low hanging fruit” agent that makes pitches to them during weekly update meetings based on potential ROI

Just in time for the US election season to ramp up. Everyone seems focused on products but what about when the ads are for pushing ideas and ideals?

You read articles regularly about how X authority is provided cloud LLM history and uses it as evidence to prosecute a defendant.

Yet you think professional criminals are too stupid to launder their activities through an unscrupulous yet legal intermediary?

FreeCAD is great if someone mainly wants to print functional, usable parts. That’s totally valid and honestly even more powerful than Blender for that use case. Autodesk Fusion (prev. Fusion 360) is also a popular option.

I use blender because I also like to do a lot of 3d printed art, and as you mentioned, that sculpt tooling is one of many fantastic tools for that purpose.

Also LLMs know a lot about Blender, making it very easy to describe what I want to do, and then get a walk through of how to do it with Blender.

If you’re getting a 404 from OP’s link, the URL was updated on their site:

Hopefully a mod sees this.

Done. I was feeling bad for saying how often I used blender without paying a cent not 20 seconds earlier in this very thread. Then I saw your message.

The fact that Apple Pay is an option made it take only another 20 seconds for me to throw some money at a great project.

I use blender constantly to make things for 3d printing and I haven’t spent a cent on it or any plugins I use for it.

So for anyone on the fence about picking up blender and reading this comment above, no it doesn’t require hundreds of dollars of plugins to be useful. Not for every use case.

Seems related to the four risk management strategies:

- Avoidance

- Mitigation

- Transference

- Acceptance

Supported by the empirical evidence of cube farms, post COVID in the early “return to office” days, when office etiquette was completely forgotten and people were listening to all their meetings on speaker, but we were still having all our meetings at our desks.

I would constantly hear people around the cube farm stumbling through sentences because they could hear themselves through a neighbors computer with a slight delay.

I must have taken the article too literally. Thanks for taking the time to help me understand.

It’s also hard to tell what’s a joke these days surrounding a lot of AI “best practices” and what’s a legitimate idea worth exploring.

Oh, it’s macOS only. The site didn’t say anything about it, or maybe I’m just blind. I had to look at the repo to see.

So going allllll the way back up to my original message where I asked for more resources to read… yeah I think you might be onto something.

It's elephants all the way down.

English in the Future

Directors at Daimler Benz and Chrysler have announced an agreement to adopt English as the preferred language for communications, rather than German, which was another possibility.

As part of the negotiations, directors at Chrysler conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement and have accepted a five-year phase-in plan. In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Also, the hard "c" will be replased with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but komputers have one less letter.

There will be growing kompany enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 persent shorter.

In the third year, DaimlerKhrysler akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.

DaimlerKhrysler will enkourage the removal of double letters, whish have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"'s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps sush as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" by "v".

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be droped from vords kontaining "o", and similar shanges vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis, and employes vil find it ezi to kommunikat viz eash ozer.

Ov kors al supliers vil be expekted to us zis for all busines komunikation via DaimlerKhrysler.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
