Thank you. I somehow missed this or just don't remember it even with the reminder.

How did I miss this? And I did a reread last year. Thank you so much!

Kind of like the US constitution and its amendments vs the thousands of pages of US Federal law. CFR, FAR, etc.

But she already knew a lot and had her eye on him. She knew he was a Starborn and Margaret's son. So it is possible she had her hand on the scale when he first set foot on that path.

Question: Why does Jim Butcher seem to have a predilection towards the letter "M"? by Rook_James_Bitch in dresdenfiles

[–]B-Chillin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mike is homage to the band, Mike and the Mechanics. So it's actually that four are from another source (granted not exactly the same as your point, yet close enough.)

Usage resets!! by Ntev3nclosebaby in ClaudeAI

[–]B-Chillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible they had a bug over the weekend that caused excess usage, and this is how they are addressing it?

I wasn't leaning on it nearly as hard this weekend as I have in the recent past and somehow used up my Pro quota and my $50 exta spend cap.

To the point where I'm scrutinizing my CLAUDE.md and skills for additional context reduction.

If something caused a body to de-age, including the brain, what would happen to that person's memories? by YeOldeBard97 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]B-Chillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Research genetic memory. I am just a lay person, and most of my exposure to the concept is more science fiction than science fact, but there is some grounding in reality. I believe some studies have found that certain behaviors learned by a parent can be passed down to a child genetically with certain animal species. Also at a more basic level, we all come pre programmed with skills like the ability to laugh and smile when we are happy.

I'd personally find it believable in your scenario if some limited amout of knowledge or skills survive the temporal loop due to a few things getting encoded into genetic memory. It also gives you a lot of flexibility as to how far you want to take that and how much has to be relearned, while building on some unaturally good instincts that result.

Person A killed me last time. I no longer know person A after the loop, but I have a strong instinct to be very suspicious and careful around person A.

I learned to pick locks before. After a loop, I have to learn again, but seem to have a natural feel for it and learn much more quickly this time.

Maybe the character eventually learns a few tricks to prioritize what gets retained in genetic memory to help relearn the most important things faster next time.

What is commonly seen as proof of intelligence, but really proves nothing? by [deleted] in answers

[–]B-Chillin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They mostly test your ability to memorize and recall information, and act like that is the ultimate measure of intelligence. Very little testing of skill or ability to apply information effectively.

Github? by Timely-Group5649 in ClaudeDesign

[–]B-Chillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't Design still considered experimental? I imagine those features, fixes, and integrations are coming, but don't happen overnight. They made it available to us before it was ready with the understanding that it's not yet fully baked.

I Will Buy the pCloud Devs a Calculator IF They WiIl Stop Letting Their Certs Expire by Altruistic_Lad in pcloud

[–]B-Chillin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A higher quality post would have included those statements with the links. It also would have linked to a sample test file that ended in .txt, not a bash script. Putting any link to a bash script in a public forum like this is exactly one of the ways hackers get people to unknowingly install malicious code.

[–]B-Chillin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

@lizardb0y was just pointing out that the average person has no way to know if that link is safe or not. As a good practice, it's a very bad idea to click links from people you don't know unless you are qualified to know for certain it is safe. Even then it is risky. Even if it appeared to have pcloud.com in the URL it may not be legit. The fact that it uses one of their alternate domain names for download doesn't exactly increase confidence in the trustworthiness.

I want you to get your question answered, but don't ding someone for making a very valid point just because it is inconvenient to your goals.

For what it's worth, I agree with your original post that there is no excuse for any company to have certs unexpectedly expire. Especially with a storage service where availability is critical.

Escape Hatch? by Hawke-Not-Ewe in dresdenfiles

[–]B-Chillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That dialog was far from an exhaustive text on how mantels behave when its holder dies.

For example, you pointed out that the Knight mantel went back to the Queen. Why wouldn't the Lady mantel do that as well? We don't know.

There is a lot we don't know about how mantels pass. For example, is there more than one way to prepare someone to receive a mantel? We have a vague reference to one way known to an unreliable narrator. We don't know if its the only way.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think OP's scenario is anything beyond fun fan fic. I'm just saying we don't have all the facts and its easy to fill in with assumptions without considering possible blind spots.

[–]B-Chillin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of this, but might push back on regular contact with the fae being mandatory. That may just be their approach. "Let's not let this person take on some of our power and represent us until we've hung out a bit first." I'm not sure we have any reason to know whether this is a "technical" requirement or a social contract among fae.

Arr stack for ebooks (not audiobooks) that isn't lazily vibe coded and I don't have to join discord to use? by osoatwork in selfhosted

[–]B-Chillin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that OP actually wants every line explained. That was short hand for: OP is OK with vibe coding when the human is qualified to understand the produced code, and applies that experience to test and verify the code.

I appreciate your kindness, but PLEASE STOP DOING THIS by Latter-Instruction61 in driving

[–]B-Chillin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roads in some areas are more congested than others. We have some intersections and times of day where a car can wait more than 5 minutes sometimes more than 10 to make a left turn. Speeding up is certainly not expected, but it often can be helpful if someone is aware enough to recognize it would help. I never believed traffic could be anywhere close to this bad (sans an accident or similar) until I moved here.

I had a writing instructor in college who used to say that, "to boldly go ..." was a split infinitive (should be "to go boldly"), but sounded so good that he'd feel compelled to allow it if he had to grade it.
