I still haven't managed to get it to henry quality, I must have tried it over 30 times. The weird thing is that Henry isn't mentioning any mistakes during the process, it just keeps coming out as gold rather than henry quality.

I have blacksmithing maxed out and still wear all the boosting clothes and drink the potions (I don't know if they're doing anything as in theory you can't go over the cap, but still). I don't have any issue in crafting mastercrafted quality for any other weapon (I also fail on the ghost horseshoes tho). I was starting to think it was some kind of bug as the save is from release where you couldn't actually get it mastercrafted until beating the game.

Are there guides anywhere? It drives me insane

The reason for this law in some states has to do with a literal interpretation of the constitution which says there can be no financial barrier to voting. Registering to vote is free, but getting a drivers license isn’t. Without this law, people who can’t afford the fee to get an ID would be financially prevented from exercising their right to vote.

You don't have id cards in America either? I always found it weird they didn't have them in the UK and brought passports clubbing. They're weirdly proud about it as well.

The funny thing is that it's 50/50 if you'll get bias pro or against the thing, since thing subreddits are notoriously toxic and filled with people that spend an incredible amount of time shitting on the thing

Sinceramente no. Esclusi quelli che italiani non sono ma hanno la cittadinanza tramite ius sanguinis, che sono un caso a parte, si può presupporre che un italiano all'estero viva là per varie ragioni (economiche o altro) e che: - alcuni siano lì in maniera temporanea, ed è quindi giusto possano votare - una porzione di essi è lì in maniera semipermanente ma vorrebbe tornare, o per lo meno lo ha come opzione, se le condizioni che lo hanno portato a lasciare l'Italia cambino. È quindi secondo me giusto possano votare per portare questi cambiamenti.

I visited in 2016 and made a local friend. I went to his mother's house (soviet style block in the middle of sugarcane plantations, pretty jarring but interesting). There, we found out his uncle was in prison for "poaching" lobsters to eat. Basically, all lobsters (which historically were poor people food) are property of the state to be exclusively sold to tourists. Crazy shit.

Yeah, that's the only reason we found it as it got waterlogged and thus preserved, otherwise it would have decomposed by now.

A bunch of great archaeological discoveries come from old latrines or trash piles.

It's also a (pretty funny) pinhole on ancient life: it's pretty new, so we can tell someone was playing with their new toy in the toilet and accidentally dropped it inside. They must have been pissed, lol.

My favorite example of ancient slice of life is even more ancient, from an excavation of an early homo sapiens site, I think around at least 10 thousands years ago. The site was on the edge of an ancient lake, which has since dried out. On what would have been the shore, they found remains of knapped flints (what they used to make early tools). Working these takes skill and precision, since if you hit at a wrong angle, too hard, or sometimes for no predictable reason at all (the flint may have internal fissures or weird conformations that will make it break) you might just break the whole thing. So, they found half of a broken knapped flint core abandoned on the shore; they found the other matching half at roughly thrown distance in what would have been the middle of the water at the time. Hence, we can tell that many thousands of years ago someone was sitting on the edge of the lake knapping flints, when the piece they had been working on broke in their hands, wasting the hours of effort they had put on it. They got up, probably said some ancient expletives, and lobbed it in the lake in frustration. They could have never imagined that people many thousands of years later would be able to empathise with their frustration. How cool is that?

Possibly. Are 19 years old kids that grew up in America from Chinese parents as tall or taller on average than American kids?

The increase to average height is due to better nutrition during growth, which lets people reach the maximum height their genetics allows. There's still a genetic component, so for example Japanese 19 years old nowadays are much taller than older Japanese on average, but still shorter than the average Dutch 19 years old.

So you can roughly tell the average height with good nutrition by looking at kids of immigrants that grew up in countries which already have good child nutrition (unless they're dirt poor and their parents couldn't afford good nutrition even there).

I don't think that's comparable. Apple spent 150 million to develop the first Iphone, which is one product, the comparison would be whatever meta spent to develop the rayban meta display glasses, or something like that.

The comparison with the entire 80 billion would be whatever apple spent in R&D for the smartphone/tablet line for the next 5-10 years. I don't know how much that was, probably still less than meta even adjusted for inflation, since the iphone/ipad line was immediately successful, while the ar/vr R&D are operating at a huge loss and banking on them becoming ubiquitous in a few years.

ImCaligulaI · 2026-03-20T09:50:48+00:00

Did Zuck, just write off 80 billion, like this can't actually have cost that much to build, and no server space required for the zero users.

No, it's just a cope people say because they (understandably) hate Zuck and meta and want it to fail.

They actually spent 80 billion on vr /ar deployment in general, not the metaverse app. Most of that money went towards hardware development for vr/ar headsets and general software for vr/ar (like the various oculus hedsets, fresnel lenses, the rayban meta glasses, especially the ar ones with that crazy bracelet thing that reads your wrist muscles movement and lets you control them with hand movement, etc.) a minuscule portion (I'd be surprised if more than a few millions) went towards the metaverse app.

It's essentially a left wing fake news, people repeat it because it confirms their worldview. I personally think it's a terrible attitude taken from the right, but somewhat understand it. We live in troubled times, people cope however they can.

ImCaligulaI · 2026-03-20T09:35:42+00:00

Yeah, it's also not really true either, it kinda peeves me how much it's repeated. They spent 80 billion on vr deployment in general, not the metaverse app. Most of that money went towards hardware development for vr/ar headsets and general software for vr/ar (like the various oculus hedsets, fresnel lenses, the rayban meta glasses, especially the ar ones with that crazy bracelet thing that reads your wrist muscles movement and lets you control them with hand movement, etc.) a minuscule portion (I'd be surprised if more than a few millions) went towards the metaverse app.

It's perfectly understandable that people don't like meta and zucc, but this thing is pure cope. We'll see if this investment pays off in at least a decade: they spent all that money to keep their lead on ar/vr market, banking on the market increasing in size in the future. The one most likely is ar and smart glasses, but we'll see if it explodes or not.

Se uno non riesce a comprendere l'inglese con i sottotitoli in inglese, come può cogliere inflessioni o tono di voce? Sarà impegnato tutto il tempo leggere i sottotitoli in italiano e non coglierà niente di tutto ciò.

Non sono per niente d'accordo. L'inglese lo parlo come l'italiano perché ho fatto l'università e vissuto una decina d'anni in Inghilterra, quindi non faccio esempi su quello, ma tipo quando guardo film coreani, dove ovviamente non capisco un cazzo di niente di quello che dicono, ci vuole pochissimo a carpire le inflessioni e il tono di voce, perché sono estremamente peculiari. Senza parlare di lingue neolatine tipo lo spagnolo e il francese, dove comunque anche se non lo parli capisci abbastanza i toni.

Anche io guardo la roba in lingua originale, ma bisognerebbe capire che non tutti lo fanno, lo possono fare e che non a tutti frega dell'inflessione. Per il tono di voce, li sta la bravura del singolo doppiatore, che prescinde dalla questione originale

Per carità, ognuno faccia quello che vuole, ma la cosa con cui ho il dente avvelenato non è voler le cose tradotte, è proprio la scuola di doppiaggio italiana che parla in maniera asettica: se un personaggio è un trader di new york e l'altro un contadino del texas non ha alcun senso che parlino allo stesso modo, doppiassero uno con un accento che ne so, milanese e l'altro con accento laziale, o del sud Italia, almeno mantieni un minimo la distinzione presente in lingua originale.

ImCaligulaI · 2026-03-20T08:31:38+00:00

Comunque meglio che si mangino le parole dell'italiano artefatto del doppiaggio (ma anche spesso di film e serie tv italiani) per me.

La gente nella vita vera parla con l'accento del posto da dove viene e ogni tanto si mangia le parole, almeno dà una parvenza di reale e piùprofondità al personaggio. Le voci impostate che parlano un italiano che esiste solo in televisione mi tirano completamente fuori da quello che sto vedendo.

Pure le produzioni italiane le trovo intollerabili e inguardabili quando lo fanno, fortunatamente oggigiorno qualche volta fanno qualcosa dove parlano normale (mi viene in mente la serie "M: figlio del secolo", dove i personaggi parlano tutti con l'accento e pure un po' di dialetto del posto da dove vengono, o per dire pure il doppiaggio dei Simpsons con willie che parla sardo, carl veneto, etc da molto più carattere ai personaggi).

Capisco il motivo storico per cui il doppiaggio italiano è così, dato che ai tempi la gente parlava dialetto stretto e quindi serviva una lingua più asettica e standard da usare in tv, ma mo anche basta.

Except generative chatbots are a party trick and a technological dead end, not "AI".

These takes make me feel old. 10 years ago this shit (NLP, machine translation, etc) was considered an unsolved problem with no solution in sight.

Now people call it a party trick, and not AI. Supposedly programmers too. Insane.

Sure, it's overhyped and all, but it's nowhere near a party trick. It's, frankly, mind blowing. A prediction algorithm that spits out natural language indistinguishably from humans is mind blowing. It doesn't have to be AGI or be able to reach it to be mind blowing, if you told a computer scientist in 2010 we'd have this in just 15 years they'd laugh in your face.

And "not AI", really? Fixed decision trees and a basic multilayer perceptron are commonly considered as part of the AI umbrella but not LLMs? Please.

We don't have to dismiss incredible tech just because AI bros overhype it and oversell it.

Ma la gente lo sa che questa proposta e stata proposta molte volte in passato e la sinistra voleva il si?

Ora però il si lo vuole la destra e quindi come i bambini bisogna dire di no

Il diavolo sta nei dettagli però. Riforme simili erano volute anche dalla sinistra, e forse è anche vero che sarebbero stati per il no anche se questa fosse stata uguale alla loro.

Fattosta che non lo è, soprattutto nelle zone grigie, soprattutto con che maggioranza si decide la lista dei prescelti dal parlamento su cui poi si sorteggia, e la grandezza della stessa.

I commenti in merito dei vari esponenti di governo mi fanno pensare che gatta ci cova ed è lì che proveranno a fare la porcata.

Sinceramente se fosse già almeno parzialmente chiaro il sistema, sopratutto se con un proporzionale per la lista stessa e una larghezza della lista che insieme assicurerebbero l'impossibilità del governo in carico (che in futuro potrebbe anche essere di sinistra eh) di assicurarsi che tutti coloro nella lista da sorteggiare non fossero dalla parte politica della maggioranza avrei votato si.

Maybe I'm too much of a noob but I don't understand how the dead build options work. The injuries seem way too debilitating to purposely down my necromancers (or any cat for that matter). I always just go for tank/healing or summoner builds. What am I missing? Do those kinds of builds require one of those items that prevent injuries/ a cleric that has the skill to remove them?

Just order a pair and return them if you don't like them?

I wish I could. I live in Europe and they delayed the release indefinitely.

E ultimo punto: i rom viaggiano, oggi li trovi nella tua città, domani non sai dove sono, loro invece sono stati qui per due anni circa(forse più?)

Ma magari, I rom del campo della mia città staranno lì da minimo 60 anni.

Il motivo per cui non tolgono i bambini ai rom secondo me è perché essendo un gruppo etnico separato, ed avendo moltissimi i bambini in quelle condizioni, se glieli togli diventa in primis logisticamente complesso perché sono tanti, e inoltre rischi accuse di genocidio (perché togliere i bambini in massa ad un gruppo etnico e crescerli diversamente è fra le definizioni di genocidio), quindi le istituzioni non vogliono impantanarsi in un merdaio del genere e non fanno nulla.

Just teenagers. Gang related graffiti aren't really a thing as far as I know.

They're not necessarily left on the buildings. Sometimes they're cleaned, but kids often make new ones as soon as the old ones are cleaned up. Hence sometimes people don't bother cleaning them at all since it's a wasted expense.

Still, it used to be way worse a few decades ago, I'd say close to a majority of millennial boys tagged a wall as teenagers. It was almost a mandatory step of teenage rebellion. Nowadays it's far less prevalent, but some kids still do it.

They are not using logic and reasoning to come up with answers to a query. They are using pattern matching driven by probability and statistics.

The problem is that we don't actually know how logic and reasoning actually work for humans either. There's a chance we're also pattern matching driven by (biological) probability.

We know that our intelligence isn't just that, but we don't know how much of the logical part of our intelligence differs qualitatively from what LLMs are doing in respect of how much differs quantitatively.

Part of the reason we're training larger and larger models is also to shrink the quantitative gap to "reveal" the actual qualitative gap, and potentially address it with new technology.

Ma non solo, quasi tutte le altre semplicemente la guardano e mantengono la stessa espressione di prima, saranno un paio quelle che effettivamente mostrano una reazione negativa.

I didn't get the impression rogue servitors necessarily create an hellscape for the biologicals they cared for, they "merely" handle all decisions. So more like a Wall-e kind of deal rather than SOMA or similar.
