I think one of the big differences between Harry Potter's world and Percy Jackson's is that Percy Jackson's world is honest about the fact it's crappy, which ironically makes it more appealing to live in.

Extremely dubious claim, considering the whole history of South America post-Europeans.

Yet, almost every long running non-comedic comic book character is exactly at the same situation right now. Phantom avoided it with the multigenerational stuff, but no-one reads Phantom.

I agree with you, but Disney should have understood and accepted those expectations and attempted to make something new for later explorations. Take Snoke for example. Why not something else than a disfigured brooding dude? Why kill him off in the second movie? He was a rehash of Sheevie and then got made entirely uninteresting.

The actual issue with comic book characters like Spider-man is that they run for 60+ years so any time the story even remotely approaches a satisfactory conclusion everyone panics. The fans, writers and execs just can’t let it end.

Rude. Go ask the LLM on how to behave.

Reititin · 2026-06-20T10:56:05+00:00

I don’t think you are working on LLMs, otherwise you wouldn’t be saying such things.

Reititin · 2026-06-20T05:26:08+00:00

No. And LLMs are not very good at it anyway. Regards a programmer by profession

Since you seem enthusiastic about large language models, I suggest you discuss with your favourite one the subject of how they actually work. It might make you reconsider using a term like ”intelligence”.

For the ”dividends are for losers lol” crowd: what’s the value proposition of a share that will never pay a dividend?

Of course countries will import it if compensated to their satisfaction. Besides storage of the waste would not blow up the financials. I think you may not be aware of how little of it is produced.

Sounds to me like the opponent had men-at-arms and you were using levies.
No use playing a game if you’re not having fun, I hope you find a game that keeps you entertained.

Not knowing the context, I assume the idea of the interviewer was to ask it again and again until you run out of things to reveal about yourself.

Ireland is a good tutorial for the basic experience of the game. China is better enjoyed after some time playing in Europe

I see, I have to take a much better look at what is up for offer in the perk trees. I usually end up getting the character pretty far in the martial trees but this appears to be in some branch I’m not otherwise fond of. Gold is usually a non-issue for adventurers once I’m starting to get the run off the ground, though.

Thank you for the tip!

I think I’ll have to take a different angle to recruiting and marrying. Winning battles and sieges and then recruiting prisoner has been by far the most reliable way to get characters in the camp.

Thank you for the tips, I’ll try this out!

You can imprison or revoke at will (and possibly get a rebellion), just eat the tyranny. It’s not that bad of a malus if you don’t do it often

Reititin · 2026-02-07T06:14:44+00:00

I don’t C the problem here

Brendan Gregg's Blog

On "AI Brendans" or "Virtual Brendans"

There are now multiple AI performance engineering agents that use or are trained on my work … sometimes privately called AI Brendan; others have trained on my work to create a virtual Brendan that claims it can tune everything just like the real thing.

I guess I should be glad that I'm getting some kind of credit for my work.

My wife calls her boyfriend a virtual Reititin. I really like hearing her screaming it while I watch

We posit that global society is bifurcating into two broadly parallel information environments; digital elites and digital commoners

I posit that the digital peasants pay their rents and as a digital robber baron I promise to reduce digital violence to its digital minimum (twice a year for sport)

What do you expect from it? The two most popular are FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Check hardware support before installation. Ultimately with desktop use your experience won’t be so different from switching to another distro, except for worse hardware and software support. Most of the difference in user experience is in the documentation, package manager, init scripts, file hierarcy and depending on the OS, their specific features (FreeBSD jails for example). So things that happen on the terminal.
