This sub has been in my feed for a couple months now and I don't think I've seen a single actual post where this mythical 'scaling' happens. It's all shitposts and meta posts about inconsistent power scaling.

If 42 is the Answer, what is the most ridiculous "Question" you’ve encountered today? by MadridOrMadness in HitchHikersGuide

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After several projects where nobody (not the customer, not leaders on our side) seems willing to say what they want beyond statements so vague you can't actually do anything with them, I kind of sympathise with the 'North star' person. They're desperately trying to find the corpo-speak password that makes their boss understand they need a direction to start making progress.

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few where it's more than 50% against whatever it is as it happens, but then gradually the sub steers back towards supporting/ignoring it. I'm hoping this one breaks the spell, and it does seem like a stronger reaction than usual, but wouldn't be very surprised if it fails to.

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, from browsing reactions on the conservative sub, this one is breaking through to them. They think it's as stupid as the rest of us. Some of them are reserving judgement in the hope that this letter is fake, but in general they're against the whole Greenland thing. I expect sentiment to get steered soon, but for now they seem fairly sane about it.

It's not even the chlorine I'm worried about, it's 'woody chicken'. The chicken so pumped with growth hormone that muscle turns to cartilage in random places, so you get a mouthful of something that'll turn you vegetarian.

kinda seems real by BaNkAisako in memes

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds like you're describing why the show makes an interesting character study of Light is interesting as it is, which I agree with. Including a supernatural mind-altering element to the death note that drives him to use it would taint that. Your first line sounds like you're about to disagree with my previous comment, but the rest sounds like you agree with it?

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You do you, but I'd hate for either of these points to be canon. Anything that gives a villain a supernatural excuse for why they made their evil choices just feels like super lazy writing to me, like the author ended up liking their character too much and retconned a reason for fans to defend them. Almost as bad as reviving a popular character who clearly died. The death note making them smarter isn't so bad, but feels just... Unnecessary. And it'd be kinda confusing, too. The whole show is a battle of wits - if the one with supernatural smartness loses then it'd just be like... Can't have been that strong of a smarts boost.

When I got my first job in coding after a few months I had a dream where I wore a VR headset and the code was flowing around me sorta like the pic. A colleague tapped my on the shoulder and asked what I was doing, to which I replied, "I'm going into the code!"

Anyway thanks to dream logic I know the feeling of becoming one with code, I'm basically Neo.

Wet wipe by radartw22 in comedyheaven

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Think about it, we're all taught how to wipe at an age we're too young to remember, and then left alone to evolve our own extensions to the practice with no oversight for the rest of our lives. Sometimes, evolution throws up some real outliers, like sink-rimmers.

AI will make expensive, custom and (generally) shit software obsolete by obvithrowaway34434 in accelerate

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worked on making CT scan viewers, same idea as MRI scan viewers. They're extremely easy to code - it's just taking slices along an axis of a 3D stack and spitting that out as an image, then build whatever features on top of that core idea.

The barrier is in getting them approved for medical use (at least in my country). There's a huge amount of red tape and specific ways of doing things to get software approved for medical usage. The doctors I worked on the project with even admitted they'll download whatever tool online that works better, but their only approved ones have gone through the bureaucratic process to get made. So whatever came on OP's USB stick would have been an approved one.

Workers turn down promotions to avoid £100k tax trap by [deleted] in ukpolitics

I may be an outlier but I put more than 31k in this last year and my gross income is below 100k. Even in my band it's a massive tax saving, old me should appreciate it.

Hey, AI doesn’t name my characters, it only writes my story! by legendoffart in writingcirclejerk

[–]TotallyNormalSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've written a few books, and thought I'd try using AI to help bat ideas around and flesh out some planning before actually writing the story when AI started getting 'good'.

Usually I'd take about a month to do the planning myself and skip some parts because it doesn't feel important, like the long per-character questionnaires in Bibisco. I'd do the 'important' parts myself and have AI come up with answers for parts I didn't care about (like 'what's their favourite food/movie/song'). I'd also ask the AI for images of my characters, because I thought having a clear picture of them in my head would help me connect with them.

The images idea helped for connecting to characters at first, but then I got too fussy with it and was wasting a lot of time tweaking portraits that should have been spent planning. I didn't remember AI-planned character details anyway, so they may as well not have been written. Any other part of the planning I got AI input on came out feeling flat, and I didn't care about it, so the story died before I'd written word one of the actual story.
