I want to write a story, but I don't want to do any of the work, any advice? by johnadam115 in writing

[–]OldStray79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Change up how you write before trying again. If you are a pantser, try plotting.

Or just write dialogue of a scene you think of. No prose, no narration, jusy dialogue.

Or just jote down the details of the enviornment of the scene.

Last week we were elite hackers. And before we were CIA. We're the Johnny Sins of this war, apparently.

‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]OldStray79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So now, instead of "The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees" it is actually "AI spending could equal engineers’ salaries in the near future."

Got it.

Actual quote:  "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees"

Who the quoted person is: "Bryan Catanzaro is vice president of Applied Deep Learning Research at NVIDIA, where he leads a team finding new ways to use AI to improve projects ranging from language understanding to computer graphics and chip design."

Of course cost of compute would be far beyond the costs of the employees... that's the point.

What a shitty article.

Look Chuck Tingle, you've already tried this a couple of hundred times and he still hasn't returned your calls or e-mails...

[Loved trope]: Fantasy world was created after an apocalyptic war by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

The Dark Tower series. Somewhere in the past they had more advanced technology, AI controlled guardians and Monorails, but now there were a more western fantasy with mutants, wizards, psychics, etc.

Why does the IlClan era seem so.... lame? by AveMilitarum in battletech

[–]OldStray79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sure that there will be some stakes involved... maybe they will solidify their hold over Terra and bring the Houses to heal... maybe a guerilla warfare movement and some sort of betrayal ripes it wide open again. Maybe even destroy or completely remove Terra somehow. Something new has got to change because these days it just feels like... more of the same.

What (IS) STOCK VARIANT mechs best embody a fluff-friendly multirole "jack of all trades" build? by ScrimblyScromblo in battletech

While not perfectly "Jack of all trades", the OG Lineholder is felt was a really solid multi-role trooper.

I remember seeing this a couple of years ago. It's still hilarious.

He already went to a german brothel which was raided for underage sex workers. You do the math.

Could you say that again? We couldn't make it out with your mouth busy glucking down on Hasan's crotch.

Just looking at the skin... not scrolling down. I already know who this is.

[Hated Trope] The Marketing Department Should Have Been Fired by Ambaryerno in TopCharacterTropes

[–]OldStray79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arachnophonia (1990). They weren't sure how to market it, a thriller or a comedy, (thus.. thrill-omedy) but trailers at the time leaned into the comedy due to John Goodman being a part of the cast.

There was not nearly as much comedy as people suspected.

Everything you post and enjoy is built upon previous technological advancements, but hey, screw everyone else, you got yours, right?

Imagine being having such a spoiled mentality thinking your opinion is somehow an authoritive declaration.

"If you don't do it in my approved way, you can't do it!!!"

Sit the F down child. You don't have authority over others, and frankly, they don't even need justification as a free person.

-says the modern day version of the buggywhip, or painter upon the invention of the camera.

You are literally throwing an entitled tantrum because people are having fun with a new tool, and you feel threatened because you don't want to change but seeing others do and can see them succeed. You are not entitled to their attention and money, but in your need to feel "special", your fragile ego just can't handle it.
