    I wish they would at least include the japanese cc subtitles. They must already exist so I don't understand why they can't just be packaged along with the other subs.

    I've only used LLMs with Elixir, so I don't have any other experience for comparison, but I've found that although Claude frequently employs the wrong approaches in Elixir, I usual…

    I used it a bit. The performance was exceptional. I enjoyed playing Cyberpunk 2077 on my phone with a Razer Kishi controller. Although I'm not surprised Stadia struggled to find tr…

    No, my apologies if I came off defensive or aggressive. I just wanted to clarify. Thanks for your comment.

    Exactly right. This is it right here. It's openly hostile to users, especially considering the broader context of Weeny's pejorative comments about his customers.

    That's all well and good, and if you like EGS, that's your prerogative. My response is to a question of why people don't like EGS. The point is not even that Steam is better (it is…

    Because it's a terrible client with virtually no features, yet their business tactics strongarm players into using it. Nobody likes to be forced to use a certain product. EGS doesn…

    Did you create a throwaway account just to call me a dipshit? For asking an earnest question? I was just interested in why the comment was being voted down, because I'm interested …

    So which kind of suicide is this? A suicide, or a "suicide"?

    It's not actually hard at all; instead it's just that the easy methods are not well known, since most crypto news is all about crypto investments and get-rich-quick schemes. Easy t…

    In my experience the documentation around Elixir has been ideal. People are modeling the absolute best of behavior, generally. The popular auth libraries (like guardian) are a bit …

    Cosby was (rightfully) cancelled with no presence whatsoever. Burying your head in the sand won't help you.

    The problem is previously we didn't listen to victims, and allowed them to be silenced. Now the pendulum has swung the other way, and we are listening unconditionally, but (occasio…

    A deed does not refer to a specific thing. It only does so in daily life as a matter of convention. It is the authority of the banks or the government or whatever that gives your p…

    I have no misunderstanding about this whatsoever, in fact. I understand that NFTs confer no rights, which is why I posited the idea of a necessary authority who can declare which N…

    In that case sure, you could do it, just as you could sell someone a deed to a rock you picked up off the street.

    It totally disagree. I think it is quite equivalent. The difference is that we don't have a centralized authority to recognize valid NFTs, as we do for deeds. But if we did have a …

    I think you're overcomplicating things. Fine, substitute "business owner" for cashier, and the point stands. I am "able to" just hand you the goods, but my policies and morals proh…

    Self-learning is one thing, but uninformed trial and error based on a lack of research is another beast entirely.

    As a cashier, I am certainly "able to" just hand you the goods and let you leave without paying, but in reality due to laws, regulations and good morals I am unable to do that.
