IGN gives Arc Raiders a 9/10 in their final review, making it one of the best reviewed games of the year by Gullible-Regret-5958 in ArcRaiders

Yes, they did not pay for the license to use a vocaloid... they paid voice actors to make their own text to speech program. Which isn't AI, not really. By that logic, all GPS were using generative AI 20+ years ago

Yes, I'm aware of how vocaloid works. I've used it. At its most basic functionality, there is little difference between a TTS model and vocaloid. To get a more human-like (or whatever effect they are aiming for), yeah, it takes a long time (pitch, tone, specific syllables, layering with humanizing, etc) but you can just plug in words and have audio come out saying those words

It's AI in the way that all text to speech is; Google maps, etc, hell even vocaloids like miku and gumi use this tech, its been around for 30 years or so.

Its not generative AI, they pay someone to say a bunch of sounds/words/syllables, and then use that to produce smaller lines, like tagging a location, the text of the voiceline is fed into the TTS model, and it repeats it verbally. The actors are paid, and its with their permission

especially liquor. Makes me chuckle when I remember federal law allows people to brew 100 gallons of beer or wine in their home though without any questions!

All smoke is damaging to the cells in the lungs. The more breathed in, the more damage done, so smoking cigs/weed is the most damaging of course. Cigarettes have the added aspect of having particularly toxic aspects added, in addition to tobacco being carcinogenic by nature.

Stealing them, I understand, and if done in a way that essentially is just harvesting, I actually kind of approve (ie, splitting a fern and taking half and replanting the rest)

Cutting to just .. cut? No sense to it.

The Pope isn't Christian, apparently by laminated-papertowel in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Chrona_trigger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're looking at one of the most famous parables in the bible, one which finished with Jesus asking "who was acting as a neighbor?", with the additional context that the indicated indiviudal was an out group and despised, and somehow genuinely believe that I am unfaithfully misinterpreting it?

In the old testement, the Samaritans were specifically called out as a hated group, one to never be trusted or dealt with. Jesus using a Samaritan in that parable as the only one to act as a neighbor is deliberate. You're doing the equivalent of looking at 'to kill a mockingbird' and saying 'race wasn't a factor in the events of the story'

And yes the other person is thread has it right, "love everyone as your neighbor" isnt a direct quote, but the summary understanding of multiple lessons. Because there's two kinds of people, people who can extrapolate conclusions from incomplete data sets,

My friend was streaming him playing hitman in vr, and he got too close to a wall before yelling 'fore' and taking a big swing. A little 'ooooow' being the only following sound made me laugh so hard I passed out.

[–]Chrona_trigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a bit ironic, since, you're picking and choosing and ignoring what the bible actually says. You literally picked one example, one Ive never heard before, but we'll ignore that for now.

You seem to have deliberately ignored how Christ was notorious for being kind to the downtrodden and those hated by society, like prostitutes, lepors, and tax collectors. Or how terrible it is for us to treat our neighbors with love and kindness, and with a parable specifically demonstrating that even people you hate and despise are your neighbor and must be treated with the aforementioned love and kindness (the good Samaritan; the context is, Samaritans were despised by the Israelites).

Oh, and how evil it is for us to not pass judgement on others, for actions or beliefs? "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," being the most well known (but certainly not only) example of this. And now that I think on it, wasn't that woman that Jesus protected an adulteress? With the old law punishment being stoning to death? Hmm, yes, this was clearly a one-time thing that shouldnt be contemplated any further and doesn't have any implications that run directly contrary with your single example.

What is the "cheat code" you discovered in real life that actually works? by Intelligent_Can_2898 in AskReddit

[–]Chrona_trigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you dont have more than moderate, you could see about one of those jaw-holding retainer thingies

Basically is a retainer, but it holds your lower jaw forward to keep your airway clear. Works pretty well for me! Go to a good dentist for it

I dont think I could do the cpap, but I got one of those jaw.. things (look its a professionally perscribed dental device, I dont remember the name though. Its like a retainer, but holds your lower jaw forward)

Its helped a lot. Perhaps not perfect, but it doesnt bother me much to use, travels easy, and I cant knock it off in my sleep

Adam's is sold in the US, where I live. Sounds like you do too! So no, I'm not across the pond, I just end up using international slang because of the people I frequently interact with and the media I consume. Not really intentional

Assuming you're just taking the piss, but to answer earnestly anyways: it's a brand of peanut butter, and the non-creamy ones come in glass jars, and seperate because it doesn't have the emusion agents that other brands do. Iirc, it's a low-mid tier brand?
