Thats exactly what I so often find myself saying when people show off some neat thing that a code bot "wrote" for them in x minutes after only y minutes of "prompt engineering". I'll say, yeah I could also do that in y minutes of (bash scripting/vim macroing/system architecting/whatever), but the difference is that afterwards I have a reusable solution that: I understand, is automated, is robust, and didn't consume a ton of resources. And as a bonus I got marginally better as a developer.

Its funny that if you stick them in an RPG and give them an ability to "kill any level 1-x enemy instantly, but don't gain any xp for it" they'd all see it as the trap it is, but can't see how that's what AI so often is.

I think this is the real answer. HDR is a thing and the baseline for expected dynamic range is higher than both what older displays can produce and older eyes can consume.

Now I want all 26 done this way... D as in django would probably be the best though.

My favourite part has to be the fact that a box of poptarts contains 8 poptarts...

I feel like everyone is underestimating 5. It's any toaster. Make a killer robot that happens to have the ability to make toast and you've got a remote control death bot.

I'd make a whole set of devices that happen to also be toasters. Why not add some heating elements and springs to an elevator, a car, a plane?

I was thinking the same thing. Although the graph does have some taper to it and maybe "most" schools end around the 6th?

The Cluefinder series, Minecraft beta from 1.4 to 1.6, BOTS, Secret of the Solstice, Realm of the Mad God, Skyrim, Mindustry, FTL, and currently CS2 and PokeRogue. Though I'm sure I'm forgetting at least one.

500km... About 4 hours. Was never home though.

Honestly not necessarily the worst idea. I don't know about Iran, but I have family in Israel. The general consensus (backed by recent polls) is that Bibi is just keeping war going so he can stay in power. The average Israeli is not as genocidal as their leaders. They just have to choose between mandatory military service where they will likely just patrol a border and not let aid through but probably not die or directly kill anybody, or commit a major crime by dodging military service and risk their lives. At 18 years old I don't know if I'd have the courage to take that risk. But Iran is different, they can actually cause risk to "important" (read: wealthy/powerful) civilians. Could sour the public on Bibi enough to oust him. Maybe.

I'm honestly worried mango Mussolini might try the same thing in 2028. Maybe he'll get food poisoning from eating a Danish, call it an assassination attempt and declare war on Denmark. "We can't have an election right now, we're in the middle of the GREATEST war we ever fought against the MEANEST nation in the world. We're gonna WIN. MGAA (make Greenland America again)!"

How is #6 not specific to IDEs? I've never had vim, np++, or any other dedicated editor freeze; and I've used them to edit multi-gigabyte log files before.

Out of curiosity, what is the original?

 

Maybe here we can draw the leaf without corrupting it. For reference I scaled the wikipedia picture to 100 pixels wide and anchored the 8 corners of the side borders. Hopefully we can make it look good!
