It's very obvious in this thread that you have hands on experience and many others do not. 20+ years professional SWE here, a majority of it applied ML/big data/etc. LLMs are really bad at many things but specifically using them as a natural language layer over NPC interactions would be relatively easy and seems like a great use case honestly.

The problem becomes when the interviewees know it is a bit (this is why Sasha Baron Cohen eventually got stale, or Tom Green before him)

Is that the new one? This spring i read the 3 original ones (had never heard of the series A friend turned me on to it) but I've been holding off reading the new one to make it last.

Dr Cravensworth, I presume?

West coast would be fine. California grows over 50% of the fruits and nuts, and 30% of the vegetables for the entire US. The "farm belt" states mostly grow cash crops for animal feed, energy production, and overseas export.

Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I'm having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.

I still would say it was the language I've most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.

That's not quite right, the language has defined Int#days and 10 is actually Int(10). 10.days calls the instance method days on an instance of an Int (it has been years since I've used ruby so not sure if the stdlib class is actually Int)

IRL Pocahontas was like 11 or 12.

I think that's his point. Past a certain level wealth makes no difference to your quality of life. So give it away, make the world better, and still have enough for more than 1 lifetime rather than horde and continue to amass like a cancer.

 

I'm a very long time linux user (I think first install was Mandrake around 1998) but haven't owned a linux PC in well over a decade (use MBPs for work, linux on the cloud and in docker). I also have an older iMac that my kids use, and I dual boot to Windows via bootcamp for the only game I play (Civ V).

With Civ 7 coming out next month the crew I play with want to give it a go, which makes me realize I'll need to upgrade my desktop (or buy a gaming laptop).

I've been looking at the System76 Thelio Mira line but they won't ship until end of Feb according to their website. Trying to find something prebuilt with Linux already on it (I don't care about distro/will likely change it anyway, but want to make sure everything is supported "out of the box"). Preferably under $2000 but I realize it might be difficult esp with an Nvidia card.

Other than playing Civ I'll probably use it for some OSS development and personal projects (including toy deep learning stuff, anything really needing much horsepower would also be in the cloud), as a media center for my house, etc.

Any suggestions for specific machines or vendors to check out? Anything to watch out for? (Because of crossplay I assume I'll have to run Steam in Proton)

 

See https://lemmy.ml/comment/584801 all day today got 502 nginx error on my phone, finally switched from 5g (Verizon) to my wifi and now it works, I'm sure because of ipv4 vs v6
