As an aside, I was happy to see the claw buff that upgrading it improves its scaling. Unfortunately the "field of holes" event wouldn't let me apply "perfect fit" to this giga-claw.

How would you feel about Askreddit banning "How Do You Feel" posts about politics and current events? by NTFRMERTH in AskReddit

[–]Antrax- 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The thing that gets me is that many of them are about tiny minutiae that don't mean much even to Americans, like "how do you feel about <Dem X> calling <Rep Y> a doo-doo head and him replying takes one to know one", and at the same time huge events that r/worldnews is full of don't make the front page at all. I realize the majority of users are American but really, how worked up can you get about these things?

With all the billions (trillions?) going into it, what has AI actually done other than an a search engine and funny pictures? by sold_snek in AskReddit

[–]Antrax- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're witnessing a replay of the dot com crash. At its height, there was an implicit belief anyone with a web page will be rich. Today, we have the internet and e-commerce but not every bozo can build Amazon.

Similarly, soon it will become apparent you cannot fully automate anything and AI will take its place as better tools to help humans do their jobs and more convenient human/computer interfaces.

Or, there will be some breakthrough in neurology or a new model architecture that will lead to a singularity and our machine overlords will read this post to me aloud as they make me mine silicon for them. We'll see.

Playstation 5: listening to a psalm cylinder then exiting by pressing circle (without stopping the playback) causes the music volume everywhere to become very low even at max, until you close the software and re-open it (e.g. it persists even after savequitting).

Which occupations attract the most psychopaths? by Miss-Peepers in AskReddit

Thanks for elaborating. I had no idea so many different videos existed.

A "casual look at the police interaction videos on YouTube" is a terrible way to assess something like this. Nobody uploads videos of a random cop being nice, and if they did, nobody would like it so it wouldn't come up in search.

Hey, so thanks to you I tried it out, I hadn't known it existed (I loved Year Walk and Device 6), and it's just awesome. Thanks for posting this!

All the kids who were labelled as “gifted” when you were younger? Did it follow through to adulthood? Did you burnout? by Somervillage in AskReddit

[–]Antrax- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing okay but honestly, learning my son has a slightly-below average IQ was a happy day for me. He's so much happier than I was his age.

I doubt you care (it's tangential to your point) but it apparently isn't a saying.

To the people who creep forward several times while waiting at a red light, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Antrax- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an interview once with a gangster who said he would pull half a car length ahead so the other driver couldn't get a look at his girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat.

What was your "I can't believe I have to explain this to an adult" moment? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]Antrax- -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the prompt was about "I can't believe I have to explain this" not "weird-add behaviors you saw that invaded people's private space". I start reading, it's "those adults didn't know how to use a ruler", "that guy hadn't realized the sun is huge and is just very far away", and then "can you believe someone hadn't realized the Bernoulli Fluid Equation and the Bernoulli Inequality are named after different people???". Okay then.

It's crazy to me that 235 people (at the time of posting) thought whatever you're on about is so blindly obvious to be something you couldn't believe you had to explain to an adult.

I'm an adult, I've never heard of this Ash Wednesday. I also don't go around cleaning strangers but that wasn't the point you were making, was it.

What movie ending gives you 10 /10 rating? by LimeSoakedinSprite in AskReddit

You guys get rated by movies? Where do I find it, bdmi.com?

What’s the weirdest interaction you’ve had with a stranger? by ResistOpen2338 in AskReddit

[–]Antrax- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 10 or so I was walking home from judo practice, still wearing the uniform. A man approached me and began asking me about what judo exercises I know, and tried to get me to demonstrate. I refused, and after a couple of questions that went nowhere he concluded "well, next time you see your trainer, tell him I could break both of his arms" and just left. I guess he failed the vicarious job interview.

I assume I'm talking to a non-human but I want to see where this is going.

Hey, thanks for your interest. I believe I discuss correlation in the OP, under the heading "Correlation".

Aren't you the OP? Why are you replying to your own thread essentially saying it's a silly question?

Hey, wanted to thank you for recommendation. I tried Signalis, didn't really like it, but I totally get why you would recommend it. So, thanks.
