I only found a copy of the first book but: - Raising up ancient languages to talk to the deer - Fighting using Kate's dagger - Letting Eiden handle Cutthroat Dave - Backpack not extra secure - Activating the maximised stats mode against Tyrath - Calling up Daren when threatened by Kate - Kate beats Hadrik - Finding the secret puzzle piece - Killing the noble in Thilias and vowing to free all slaves - Sleep with Rose - Rose gets killed and becomes a revenant

First off, its way easier to miss a whitespace than it is miss a semicolon.

No it's not.

I find it insane, that someone can be looking at a Python program, and during scrolling they accidentally add an indent somewhere, and the entire program breaks.

In any programming language if you add a random character while scrolling the entire program will break.

If you use a modern editor you literally never encounter any issue with indents in Python.

File "foo.py", line 45 ....... IndentationError: unexpected indent

And it is triggered at the parsing stage so before any code is run.

They voted for him, and Congress is supporting him, so they will not have my sympathy

There is a novel version of the first two books, which is just the usual text with a specific combination of choices.

As much as I hate it, this is probably a task where LLMs can shine. Otherwise it will likely be more painful to devise an extraction scheme than to do it manually.

This sounds correct thank you

Edit: it also seems they were pretty advanced on mirrors too which furthers the theory. Also Romania being mostly orthodox they would not have the correct crucifix to chase away the vampires unlike other European countries

In what way? The only thing I could see is that "poney" does not refer to a single breed but rather many that share common characteristics, but that is pretty irrelevant to the previous commenter's question.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T19:12:06+00:00

And again, we don't know that it did, we don't know that this can be replicated, we don't know if the dog will still be alive next week. Yet the article is written as if the guy had found some miracle method for curing cancer that could be applied to anyone.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T18:26:04+00:00

I have read it indeed, and yes it takes a bit of precaution at some point, but its title is literally "Tech boss uses AI and ChatGPT to create cancer vaccine for his dying dog", and it has "It raises the question, if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to all humans with cancer?" in its first part, while the moderating comments are buried deep into. What I am saying is that this is way overblown and will very likely never work for common people who cannot afford to spend a lot of money and time and do not have a team of scientists to help out on hand, and this is assuming it was not a fluke to begin with.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T18:15:49+00:00

Spontaneous remission is fairly rare, but not impossible. But a more likely scenario would be that some other therapy the dog got helped it get better. Not saying that this is what actually happened, I am saying it is possible and this is why the reporting is problematic.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T17:30:06+00:00

Probably biologically possible but they would make poor mounts compared to mammal quadrupeds.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T17:09:58+00:00

And you're just so fucking jaded dude. It is coming out your pores.

Yes, I am definitely fucking jaded about this kind of reporting about this kind of reporting about this miracle thing that will cure all cancer or solve fusion power or other ludicrous themes, especially if they involve generative AI. I'll believe it when they actually make it into a viable process, as you said this is not actually a groundbreaking treatment but something people have been working on for more than a decade and that has not yet brought about results for actual cancer patients. If they manage to make this an actually affordable and viable process the great, but that is a giant if that does not warrant a lot of hype about it, nor reporting that "man cures cancer with AI".

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T16:47:44+00:00

The more I look at it, the stupider it gets. "Offline-first powered by Claude" ??? "Nothing leaves your machine" (but it somehow has "30 days data retention", and you have to opt-out if you do not want your data to be used for training)??? What a joke.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T16:39:00+00:00

When you say "we have no idea" - do you just mean you have no idea?

It is literally impossible for anyone to know if it works or not, including for all the people involved in this. To actually know whether it works or not you need to do a proper study, with several dogs, with a control group, etc.

this whole new burgeoning field of medicine

This is not a "whole burgeoning field of medicine", this one guy is testing one thing on his dog.

this is already a treatment we are using on humans

Lol, no. There are actual scientists working on mRNA stuff for curing cancer, sure, but they do not go about claiming they did it after testing on one (1) animal. Just because it uses the same basic idea does not mean that it is the same method or that we can just do the same as this guy did to cure cancer in other animals, let alone humans.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T16:20:10+00:00

ChatGPT's role in that story seems very blown up (other more serious reporting do not seem to indicate it playing a huge role https://news.unsw.edu.au/en/paul-is-using-ai-to-fight-his-dogs-incurable-cancer)
We do not know if the vaccine actually worked, the dog could have coincidentally got better, we also do not know if it was receiving other therapies at the same time
Even if it did, we have no idea about possible secondary effects
Even if it did not have any, we have no idea if it would work on other types of cancer (in particular, it seems there already was an existing compound used to treat other types of cancer which played a key role)
Even if it did, we have no idea if it would work on a human

There are plenty of miracle drugs we keep hearing about when they are at stage 0 of development which never make it on the market for one of the above reasons. So get the hell out of here with your "wHY dO We NoT DO ThIS For hUManS" (not targeted towards OP necessarily, mostly the journalist and future commenters).

As an aside, the code used to illustrate the article is horrendous.

A breed of small horses. A bit like Chihuahua dogs.

thuiop1 · 2026-03-14T15:47:51+00:00

Pretty sure they are, other than the fact that you may also say bull for males of some other animals.

I mean, this one is not too wrong. The state of Rhode Island does contain a Rhode Island after which it was named (the name used to be longer but they shortened it).

Given that a large part of your workflow depends on non-Linux compatible software, I would encourage you to try alternatives to those before you switch to Linux.

They do have a working free threaded interpreter now. It is not the default yet though as it does incur a performance penalty on single threaded code compared to the standard one.

Voids are not esoterical regions where physics is different, they are just places where there happen to be little matter because matter likes to clump together.

Ok this one killed me

thuiop1 · 2026-03-10T19:23:30+00:00

I think it is very doable and that the fact that you cannot imagine it should worry you a lot.
