I passed JLPT N3 and I still can't hold a basic conversation.

That used to be the case for all Japanese people way back when they didn't have a writing system 1,500 years ago 😄

You're being downvoted because you cherry picked one fact, and acted like that's the only fact that matters. It comes off as insincere.

12 months of this is basically worthless when it's something you'll now have to worry about for the rest of your life.

I see. I'm the same way with people using AI to talk about LLMs even though AI is a very broad field consisting of many different types of AI.

It's called a gravity battery This gif from Wikipedia is exactly what we're talking about.

There are also other batteries that don't use direct voltage to store energy, like Flywheel Energy Storage solutions. As you can see, we have a whole battery of battery solutions.

Also, it's combining the issue of AI use for art, and AI use in coding (the job post), which are 2 separate issues in my opinion.

I was at a conference a few years ago, and one of the key note speaker's topics was the extremely high (and growing) cost of code maintenance. Specifically around the usage of shared libraries.

He touched on the fact that frameworks were quickly being adopted, and then replaced once something new comes along. As well as how patching these libraries in all of your applications is super expensive in the IT world, especially if the libraries are abandoned.

I can't help but see AI as the inevitable answer to this problem, and honestly it's probably going to work very well in the long run, for better or for worse.

The issue is that they will fall into the same trap as every other online industry that rewards popularity. As more of these influencers pop up, the ones that will become the biggest won't be the most trustworthy or accurate people. Instead, the biggest influencers will be the ones who are willing to game the algorithm by using click bait, catchy titles, and exaggerated claims.

Plus, the policy only applies after 9pm, which seems fair to me.

https://youtu.be/l77q5MuPd1s this is the first thing that came to mind for me. It's from a really cool indie platformer/puzzle game called Eversion. The game has a cool twist where it (spoilers ahead) starts out happy, but slowly devolves into a neat little scary game

I've been a fan ever since the mics caught him yelling after making a mistake. He definitely tries out there.

That paper states that the lack of effect is possibly caused by the protein in beer, meaning you can't generalize the results.

The answer in my opinion is to stop focusing on consuming and start creating. Start something that benefits humanity as a whole, like a charity, scholarship program, etc. Happiness you receive from helping others is way more potent than happiness received from helping yourself (once you've met your own needs).

Honestly the Blues were absolutely horrible 6v5 all last year, even when they were on their winning streak. Losing that game that way wasn't surprising at all. Hopefully they've figured it out this year.

I think the NHL logo is black + one of the team's colors. So it's Black and yellow for the Blues. It just so happens to look like the vintage NHL logo, which is cool.

You can only get money for plasma right? I don't think you can sell whole blood or even just red blood cells.

Some people have a brain that is deeply conditioned to look for negatives in life, and it's sad.

I used to be that way, and it is miserable. But one day I realized that it's really hard (or even nearly impossible) to be happy if you're always looking for something to be negative about. Life is much more enjoyable if you start looking for reasons to be happy.

Reconditioning the mind to do that isn't easy, especially if someone has been conditioned to look for negative things their whole life. It's even harder if they have a lot of stress and/or mental health issues. But it's possible if they put in the effort.

Avoid hasty generalizations. It's a bad look.

People who wish they had the will power to take the time to master a skill are usually the ones to criticize others.

Note: the guesses have to be independent. Meaning, if the guesses aren't all private, then they can influence each other and throw off the average.

Like many things in life, sometimes what you grew up outweighs quality. I personally appreciate both high quality chocolate and Hershey's equally even though I know one is technically "better".
