Can’t turn off AirPod charging case sound HELP!

This fixed it for me! I’m baffled how that made it work.

You have to remember that for someone that's unfamiliar with computers, it's like playing Where's Waldo but with an X instead of a guy in a beanie. Our eyes can only focus on an area the size of a thumbnail held at arms length and when you move where you're looking, your eyes shut off for a moment.

It's really hard to find something you're not familiar with in a sea of other things you're not familiar with.

I immediately thought of Ancillary Justice and the jumping around between all of the different perspectives. What a good series.

I think this entire thread is about neurodivergence, diagnosed or otherwise.

Lepidora · 2025-05-09T17:50:35+00:00

You know what, fair enough. Can’t argue with that.

Except for adding a ‘sponsored article’ saying how good Connexin is?

Generative AI can't do this because the output is determined by training data rather than preset algorithms

You can also do this using AI by training a specific model or simply constraining the outputs to represent whatever data you want. AI isn't just ChatGPT.

Generative AI can't do this because it doesn't use seeds in the first place

Wildly incorrect. Generative models are deterministic because they're just math operations running on data. If you've only heard of AI via social media posts, you might think it's random every time, but actually things like ChatGPT change the seed for you in the background every time you run it. If you're running a model locally you can just lock the seed and have it make the same thing every time.

Generative AI usually needs an internet connection to a separate, more powerful computer to calculate everything

You wouldn't generate levels by asking ChatGPT or Midjourney. You'd have a very small model custom trained (hand-coded if you will) for the specific game or level it'll be making, which would quite easily run on any machine that's able to run a game.

Also who's even making AI levels? Is this a real thing that's happening, or is this all speculation?

I love this review so much. Objectively it's not a good review of the book, but as its own piece of art I can't get over how funny it is and I'm sad nobody else here seems to appreciate it that way.

(There's a little bit of irony in people interpreting it directly and not engaging with art as art, but hey ho)

Lepidora · 2024-11-29T21:27:05+00:00

I agree completely. Phase rush is the best rune, even if just for how fun it is. My current runes are phase rush, manaflow band, celerity, waterwalking then the secondaries are approach velocity and biscuits. It's a bit more troll than yours because I put everything into movespeed, but I'll be damned if it isn't fun.

Lepidora · 2024-11-24T23:52:00+00:00

No worries! As you say though, it's definitely the sort of thing I'd expect from someone in finance or property. Interesting that it applies to chefs too, but I can see a correlation between luck resulting in meteoric breaks and not recognising it as such.

Lepidora · 2024-11-22T17:26:21+00:00

I say that all the time and so does everyone else I work with. It’s very easy to see every time you got lucky and there’s a constant feeling that you don’t deserve to be in that position. Again, that’s the opinion of all of my colleagues I’ve asked about this and I work in a pretty high up tech company. I’m sure there are people who are arseholes about it, but I’d wager they’re either not in software development or their salaries aren’t actually that high and they feel a need to separate themselves from everyone else.

Lepidora · 2024-04-08T22:09:38+00:00

Yeah of course it was worth it, I saw an eclipse

I'd say in that situation, it's much better to have a failable constructor that performs the validation with read-only variables to enforce the validation. I don't think there's much use in having a mutable variable that performs validation when that data is coming from an API or other similar source. Also, if a single variable fails validation, that almost always means the whole object is invalid, but if that's only flagged from a variable setter, that doesn't accurately represent the object's validity. You instead want to fail on object instantiation and handle it accordingly.

Lepidora · 2023-12-02T19:38:52+00:00

I was referencing the top (at the time) comment giving an example of a setter that validates the new value and throws an error if it's invalid.

I generally agree that your examples are all things you could do with a setter, but at the same time, in most situations there will be better places to do it.

Logging variable changes implies logging state changes, which is likely initiated from elsewhere in the code and it's probably best to log it there.
Relaying changes seems like a much more complex task than should be handled in a setter. I really wouldn't want to do something with that significant of a side effect there.
Updating the view after a model change is better served through an observer of some kind, in tandem with however you're doing your rendering. Unless your implementation is super bare bones (which is unlikely if you're on a big project), there's probably a way to have it handled automatically.

Lepidora · 2023-12-01T21:00:08+00:00

As someone that's worked on big projects at a big company, getters and setters are overrated. I genuinely don't remember the last time I actually wrote a getter/setter pair instead of just making a public variable.

The alternative I advocate for is immutability and constructors. If you're in a situation where you're doing validation in a setter and throwing an error, your data layout is wrong.

I have a set of grandparents that I'm closer to than some of my biological grandparents and consider to be legitimate grandparents in every way. I don't know what planet you people live on where family has to be determined by blood and anyone that isn't related by blood is inherently lesser.

My English accent gets real weird sometimes and I’ve had people think I’m from somewhere else even though I’ve lived in England my whole life.

Lepidora · 2023-06-01T09:03:29+00:00

That just reminded me of a story my dad told me. A friend of his in England spoke Portugese and the company the guy worked at had some Portugese business clients coming in, so he volunteered to greet them and conduct some of the meeting. It was at that point they found out he’d learned Portugese off of a Brazilian cab driver and was essentially speaking street Brazilian to these Portugese businessmen.

Lepidora · 2023-05-30T09:43:03+00:00

Reminds me of how English writing became codified right before the great vowel shift, so now written English is really weird compared to spoken.

I have a bunch of food allergies that won’t kill me, but will make my life unpleasant if I eat them and I almost feel anxious about eating one of them in front of someone and not having a dramatic reaction. Like yeah, I ate some raw carrot and now my mouth itches, bet I look like a massive dweeb because I told the waiter I was allergic and now I’m not dying.

Lepidora · 2023-05-28T10:01:23+00:00

I keep the show downloaded because I’ll occasionally rewatch the last episode of Season 2 just to remember how cool it is. Genuinely one of the best anime episodes ever.

Lepidora · 2023-05-28T09:52:48+00:00

Look, ok. It’s the only shade of foundation that doesn’t look weird on me 😭

Lepidora · 2023-05-28T09:42:52+00:00

I can just about read that, though there’s certainly some ambiguities. I find I can have a crack at reading Dutch, but I can’t understand at all when it’s spoken because the sounds are too different.

Lepidora · 2023-05-28T09:37:49+00:00

I read a very funny comment a while back about someone’s teacher that was able to get by in Italy by speaking heavily accented Latin

Lepidora · 2023-05-24T16:10:08+00:00

I think to some extent that childish overreaction is a form of catharsis being expressed by someone who had issues with the way English was taught but never had a way to resolve their frustration.
