dimitri_deploys··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
I've also been interested in this but a little at sea when it comes to navigating the alternate dimension of Japanese flip phones. Do you have any recommendations when it comes to identifying the last best example of the Japanese flip phone?
dimitri_deploys··on Recreating Daft Punk's Something About Us
This was a fascinating article and I admire the musician in question for committing to the re-Discovery (pardon the pun) of the process behind the original track. Still, I have to agree with the earlier commenter that the many hallmarks of ChatGPT's prose style (so to speak) distracted me somewhat from the story the author intended to tell. The seemingly random italicisation of phrases that couldn't possibly have required actual emphasis created a relentless subvocal choppiness. As much as I'm glad the author shared their insights, I wish the medium hadn't so overwhelmed the message. Not that I think using ChatGPT is fundamentally wrong. I suppose it's a little like cosmetic surgery: the best approach, if you're going under the knife, is to have just enough done that nobody can tell you've had anything done at all.

I’m curious: where did you build the custom GPT? On ChatGPT?

Absolutely incredible reporting. The risks taken by the sources both at the factories and within North Korea defy comprehension for anybody lucky enough not to fear that speaking out will endanger their family.
dimitri_deploys··on Young people are flocking to astrology
Potentially irrelevant, but this sentence really tripped me up:

"Like others who ascribe to astrology, she is a firm believer that celestial objects have a direct effect on human life."

It's either supposed to be 'subscribe' or there's a whole word missing.

dimitri_deploys··on MDMA moves from club drug to real therapy
Haha Wow. I thought the exact same thing when I read the parent comment and then saw your reply. Truly an institution.
dimitri_deploys··on Hakari – the hardest puzzle game you'll ever play
Does anybody have a hint for level 28? I've been stuck for a few days and, while I can see that they're boolean diagrams, I'm not entirely sure what to do next. So far as I can tell, they don't simplify.
dimitri_deploys··on Hakari – the hardest puzzle game you'll ever play
I can see that they're boolean logic diagrams, but I haven't gotten any further with figuring it out. I'd appreciate a hint too!
dimitri_deploys··on Hakari – the hardest puzzle game you'll ever play
Any tips for level 26? I've been playing around with the idea that the three numbers represent coordinates but without much luck. Also, the 'inverse' thing is throwing me off.
