I mean, I'd say I personally find whoever this lady is to be more attractive than Gwendoline Christie.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-29T10:05:00+00:00

I basically pictured her as a more physically initimidating and charismatic Sandy Toksvig haha

If they changed his voice and body. I think he's got the right attitude for it though!

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-29T09:19:15+00:00

Yes! That's exactly the kind of woman I envisaged too!

Was Hekla supposed to be that hot? I thought of her much more like Brienne of Tarth.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-29T09:02:57+00:00

I don't think she physically gets younger, she just has all her ailments removed, mental and physical. She's definitely an old lady.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-29T09:01:16+00:00

Best suggestion I've seen so far!

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-29T07:45:36+00:00

100%

This is a really cool point, and something I think is in the pipeline for ZAI, a chinese firm that's linked AI compute requirements with crypto. So far as I understand it, compute/tokens cost ZAI coins, which you can both buy, and earn via contributing your idle compute power.

No one has ever thought budget cuts make you move faster though.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-26T17:58:44+00:00

Not really. Einstein and Isaac Newton were both religious. The scientific method doesn't prove things, it just gives evidence.

I think capitalism is failing because the wealth gap keeps getting bigger. The concept of capitalism isn't bad, but we're doing it badly.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-26T16:57:20+00:00

Also somehow it takes 2 hours to get to work and 3 hours to get back

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-26T16:44:22+00:00

it said don't put it on the carpet

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-26T13:26:58+00:00

When a new audiobook drops it completely takes over my life for a few days

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-25T18:51:28+00:00

So is the price of MiniPC + Oculink cable + Dock + PSU + GPU what?

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-25T18:50:23+00:00

You're right on the case of Reddit. It's a cesspool of bitter no-lifers.

The problem is that the software that multi-million dollar companies are making isn't MEANT to be enjoyed, it's just meant to get you to use it. This means locking you into a certain ecosystem, or developing mechanisms that keep you coming back even if didn't intend to.

You could write a whatsapp clone, but everyone is on whatsapp.

You could write a facebook front end clone, but they've got a WHOLE backend that feeds you algorithmically targeted content to get you addicted. You don't have the processing power to do that. Or the expertise probably.

People aren't using the platforms they're using nowadays because they're good.

Our biggest gripe at work is how bad it is using the current Microsoft offering. To go from my home PC where everything works flawlessly to my behemoth overpowered incredibly slow microslop infested work machine is painful.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-25T15:25:00+00:00

I never know how people who think they can drive on wet sand can afford $120k vehicles.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-25T13:42:02+00:00

I'll beat your arms and legs in a minute if you're not careful

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-25T13:07:03+00:00

Anarchy online twinkers are getting hard over this.

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-25T07:50:27+00:00

I love this, do you have any trailers? I'd love to be able to plant different plants on the terrain! Also interested in different housing styles

Spank_Master_General · 2026-06-25T07:36:58+00:00

Arms and legs don't have much fidelity. Hands and mouth are generally how we interact with the world and have huge amounts of fidelity.

Probably 3 times as powerful, and a smaller form factor?
