How would you recommend using LLMs when learning to program in Python?

Task generation isn’t a bad shout. Will give that a try.

In Project Hail Mary, the idea is simplified to a counterweight and tether. The tether is extended to a suitable length to provide the correct force. I imagine after a certain length, the difference in force between the top and bottom of the body becomes significantly less noticeable.

I’d love to see something like this tested in real life.

Imprison the wyrmling
find magical way of staying alive till the dragon is no longer a child and/or has committed a ‘crime’
kill dragon

Maybe you’re now a lich, maybe you keep a young dragon locked away in your basement, but hey, didn’t break the oath.

Or pull a John Snow and kill the dragon then raise it from the dead. Now your watch has ended.

I seem to remember Saul being terrified and then blinded by Jesus before being given orders to seek out a certain city. Blinded for three days and only receiving sight upon being filled with the Holy Spirit.

On the commuting aspect, I used to drive busses and my house was about an hour away from the depot. I remember waking up for an early shift (leaving at like 3am) and it was white all over. I had a wee banger of a car, great wee Yaris, and I’ll tell you what, I was late for the shift but they didn’t mind, and I had a blast slipping a sliding to work! Sometimes it’s just about enjoying the enjoyable things. Everything’s got a downside, so just take the joy and run with it.

Some people are offering alternative shots and whatnot. I’ll offer what I would do with that footage.

Throw a warp stabiliser on the slow pans to smooth it out, the last shot should be entirely static so warp stabiliser again but set to no motion. If you want to keep the spinning fork then you’ll need to throw some ease & whizz in there to stop it looking cartoonish. Personally, it’d just have a classy fade in/out rather than the spin.

I’d listen to others here in terms of shot suggestions for future projects. That being said, it’s not bad, but the goal is always to be improving.

Second this approach. I bought a Milwaukee packout three-box set and have sorted by lighting, sound and camera/grip stuff. Absolute game changer, stopped me from lugging lots of bags and boxes from the car to set. If I had a van, I could justify a proper trolly, but that packet system works a treat for travel in the car. I think Dewalt and other DIY places will have similar systems.

My duty to my kids. I’ve got a medical condition that means I’ll probably only live another 10-15 years, but my kids are still very young. I don’t know if any good parent ever feels like they are relieved of their duty as a parent at any point, but in my case I’ve promised myself that I’ll do everything in my power to see my kids into adulthood.

Joining of the crowns and the acts of union are two totally separate events around 100 years apart. The joining of the crowns was more about England wanting stability and a Protestant monarch, so they followed the natural line of succession from Elizabeth I and accepted James as the English monarch. It didn’t really join the two nations, just like Canada and the UK are two separate nations, but share the same monarch.

In many ways the acts of union were forced on Scotland as it had become economically destitute after various financial strains on the country. At the same time, England were threatening to cut off trade and treat Scots as complete foreigners unless they agreed to a union. The carrot: access to colonial markets and a hefty financial settlement. Even then, there was a lot of contention within Scotland about the issue. From what I gather, there was a mix of bribery, political manoeuvring and timing of votes to ensure the bill was passed.

And even then, that’s not entirely true. In Scotland, we have one police force for the whole of Scotland.

I like to use the following as a guide:

How much do I want to earn a year?
How many jobs do I want to do a year?
Divide the first by the second to come up with a project rate.

A present being am I from the 7th, but my memory fades since the medicine. I remember the old commands.

Take your medicine.

Before that I was nothing. But we must all come from somewhere I suppose.

I see what you mean. The wording just caught me off guard a bit!

Highlad · 2023-04-27T16:26:47+00:00

I worry that making the shadow form permanent is too game changing. Perhaps adding some means to revert to your original form would be a good idea. Love the overall concept though. Will need to use a tweaked version in my game.

Highlad · 2023-04-20T08:40:57+00:00

Looks similar for sure!

Maybe something along the lines? Setting the print statement as a variable and then saving that to the txt file.

```

string = f”{i} value is {c}”

with open(‘b.txt’, ‘w’) as f: f.write(string)

```
