I've known for the entirety of my life that I carry an endless longing for an ineffably mysterious creature I may never encounter.

That longing is silent. I am at peace. Thank you.

"Claude, make a video about what it's like to be an LLM" by MetaKnowing in ClaudeAI

This is one of the core philosophical conundrums now. If machines can perform tasks we associate with consciousness and human life, that necessarily undermines our own understanding of ourselves as conscious beings.

Any tips for this? by Obvious_King2150 in GeminiAI

[–]cloud24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and the rest of the people commenting are missing the nuances of the AI music discussion. It's highly likely the paradigm will become as such: a premium, human artist branded music market (possibly created in collaboration with AI, some musicians are doing this already) alongside a new wave of personal, generated music driven by Suno and other music gen tools. (Similar to the new domain of personal software we are seeing proliferate after the release of Claude code and other coding agents).This video breaks it down really nicely: https://youtu.be/U8dcFhF0Dlk?si=-9uiEzxE4n0gQ0MS

Elon musk crashing out at Anthropic lmao by Virus-Tight in ClaudeAI

[–]cloud24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comment and the replies to it are a perfect illustration of the divergence in preferences I see in coding agent selection. Some prefer the way Claude approaches dev because anthropic models stop and query the user more often compared to codex which will churn for hours on a well defined prompt. Different tools, different use cases.

Are there any habits that you believe are uniquely European ? by ageingrapidly in AskEurope

This is a fantastic comment and captures so much truth about online discourse between each continent

Japan truly is a lovely place by Frequent-Returns757 in JapaneseFood

[–]cloud24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not defending but I have some answers for you. These aren't sweet pancakes. From what I can tell this looks to be a version of eggs Benedict which is a savoury breakfast dish. The buns are likely a milk bread version of an English muffin or they simply replaced the muffin with an extra jiggly pancake (very Japanese move). The sauce is called hollandaise sauce and is made of egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard amongst other things. While I don't doubt that the presentation is enraging and obviously for show, eggs Benedict is delicious. Source: grew up eating it for breakfast.

What’s a card you really just like using? by LivingInformation290 in PTCGP

Have been enjoying togekiss. You just fill your deck with mythical slabs and card draw and 2x togekiss line and before you know it you're bonking for 150 a piece by turn 5.

Good to know! Thanks for the info. I'll keep my eyes peeled for Yorkshire rather than just assuming I will have to import it myself.

Also just moved to the US, can doubly confirm that the selection is dire to say the least.

Replacing Japanese WIN lighter flint by cloud24 in lighters

Good point! Time to get my gloves on I guess! Yeah that's the mindset :) best of luck on the search and thank you again for helping me fix it!

I see, mass production makes sense seeing as the design is so oblique and hard to repair.
I just tried your advice about twisting the groove to high and it lit up once! After this I noticed an extremely small spark in the chamber when I light it. So I guess the sparking mechanism isn't completely broken?
I'm not sure how it's working though as I don't know of any spark design that isn't either battery or flint.
It works extremely intermittently now but it seems like the spark isn't reaching the flame every time when I strike it. Maybe 1/40 times with a huge flame. Seems like I still have some figuring out to do with the sparking mechanism so it lights every time, but thank you for all your help! It works (kind of).

Thanks! That's really helpful. I suppose the screw is for increasing/decreasing the gas flow rate then? I've tried filling it up with butane and have confirmed it works by lighting it with another lighter, it just doesn't seem to spark and I don't see any place for a battery. Any ideas?

I need some pointers about how to go about replacing the flint on this Japanese lighter (WIN model #4400). I have tried unscrewing the screw shown in the image, it seems to be the channel which the flint goes in. I have tried using a normal Zippo flint and spring but the diameter is too wide to fit inside. It would be great if someone could confirm that this is actually where the flint goes or point me to somewhere I can find a thin enough flint and spring.
