I played and loved all of the Hitman games up until the World of Assassination trilogy because I couldn’t figure out what edition to get and all of the different editions felt like a cash grab.

Assuming Trump will be around. His cognitive decline has been steep, and he’s just been a convenient vehicle for others to gain power. I wouldn’t be surprised if they invoked the 25th Amendment.

Yes and no. I compare it to a graphing calculator: I know how to graph a parabola by hand already, but I don’t want to have to do it over and over already. That’s just busy work for me.

LLMs are similar that way. There’s often a lot of boilerplate to get out of the way that’s just busy work to write over and over again. LLMs are great at generating some of that scaffolding.

LLMs have also become a lot more helpful as Google search has gotten worse over time.

According to the report, while 54 percent of developers canvassed said there had been no layoffs at their company over the last year, 35 percent said either they or their colleagues had lost their jobs.

I grew up hearing the word “gypped”. I didn’t know that’s how it was spelled (thought it was jipped.) It wasn’t until I was in college that I realized gypped -> Gypsy and extremely offensive. I’m still embarrassed that it took me that long to figure out.

Keming strikes again!

What’s funny is there’s definitely ways to make it more realistic while also being flashy/interesting. The stories told on the podcast Darknet Diaries are plenty interesting! It’s often fantastical feats of social engineering.

Hmm, generally the Econ professors I’ve seen/heard interviewed usually say that printing money is not the only cause of inflation.

But I see read/hear things from sources not on a large TV network news station, so maybe that’s why.

That’s wonderful. I’m glad education is accessible.

I’m going to go cry in the back corner now, because haha… America #1… in student loan debt.
