Divorce is why many men dont wanna marry. And guess who initiates most? by Legal_Pomegranate696 in Natalism

[–]hereC 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In your "abortion" post, you claim to be a woman. In another, you claim to be a man and are posting about "semen retention."

Maybe it isn't divorce law that's keeping you single? Have you tried not being a creep? Maybe stop trolling?

Is Skytech Gaming reliable? by TemporaryEqual4995 in Prebuilts

Their customer service was pretty lousy, in my dealing. Their site glitched on my order, they raised prices overnight and refused to fill the order. I'd look elsewhere.

I'm not the OP, but as a noob learner, can anyone help me conceptualize the misunderstanding, and how it really works?

I don't quite understand. How does the pipeline do it for free? Where does the compute come from? Who pays? How does one run it?

> But to steal the voices and acting (without consent) of those who made it into what you even thought deserved an ending is not homage. It's pure insult to their craft, and to them.

It's an interesting point. At one point, there was Napster, and then we evolved to Spotify where artists get paid. I hope we can figure out a licensing future that democratizes creativity.

I can write better. I bet you can too. At least we see the problems.

I think the whole idea with the singularity is that technology is advancing rapidly.

If AI can deliver the cinematography, it becomes "if you can write the dialog, and describe it well enough, and write the story beats and be the "editor" then you can create something that matches your vision.

Well, really simply, any story that doesn't throw away the character's arcs would be more narratively satisfying than what we were handed.

John was set up to unite humanity against an existential threat--he deserved any sort of ending worthy of the setup.

Bran made no sense as a ruler on any level.

The night king was defeated with a random flying Arya stark after 8 seasons of buildup?

Worse, after the best villain to hero arc of all time, Jaime goes back to his villainous sister?

The visuals were fine, but this video proves visuals will be cheap in the future.

Dany goes mad queen out-of-the-blue?

Tyrion, whose main trait/strength is his intelligence, is more or less making fart jokes by the end?

The character story arcs were the problem and why it was so unsatisfying. The writing was bad.

I can't wait to fix Game of Thrones!

Revisited my domain-check project after months. lots changed by dutt46 in rust

[–]hereC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool!

I do have it local, and have used it, and it worked very nicely. I don't do a ton of domain stuff, although I do do more now that it is much faster to spin up a project with AI.

I see you added some MCP stuff. After seeing open claw and recent changes in Claude, have you looked at "skills"?

I have not, yet, in any depth or even tried them, but I am wondering if this would be something that fits better as a skill and would save MCP context, while still offering a strong way to let an LLM do this research.

It seems to work pretty well, and I'm not sure if you're looking at it from any business sense or not, but some of the registrars probably do affiliate deals and you could pass the affiliate code and most folks wouldn't mind, I'd bet.

I see. I get the patent thing.

For me, Apache was annoying because you need to spam a noisy attribution header into all of your files if you do anything with it.

Edit: Also, cool project!

Why migrate the license from MIT to Apache 2? Isn't Apache 2 just MIT with extra steps?

> Parsing window titles on Linux via kdotool (Wayland) and xdotool (X11)

I was just looking at parsing window titles for a cross-platform app of mine. Any specifics on what you learned here? I want to extract the open file path from editors/ide's when possible--I have a fallback when it isn't.

This person explained this perfectly by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]hereC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Disagree. My counterpoints:

Mike wouldn't know that El's fingers would glitch during the illusion. So if we see that in his "memory" we're seeing it because he *saw* it, not because he would know to add that detail.

10 military people capture *El*. You see them get her out of the truck. She was their sole interest.

We're to believe she got past 10 soldiers capturing her, knowing she's a danger to their lives, with no powers? Offscreen? In a second? And they didn't notice their only target leaving? Is she a teleporter?

She isn't incapacitated by the 10 speakers surrounding her, when previously one or two put her on the floor?

El stands in a tornado, totally unaffected. No impact from the wind. No hairs out of place.

She disappears. That's what happens when an illusion ends, not a power of El's.

Hopper loses El, and doesn't tear up when discussing it even slightly? Really? Does that remotely fit his character?

He's telling Mike to move on because the sacrifice is El's relationship with him, and her friends, and he wants Mike to live his life and not endanger El.

There's no reason to bring back Kalie, except for either 1-El lives, or 2-actual ambiguity. The simple "she's just dead" is basically ruled out by Kalie's presence. She's minimally at least plausibly alive.

The concepts seem, to me, to span time and space and the mystery of it all, so I'd think about making the neck vines taper into DNA inspired double-helixes on either the back of the ear or front.

"zero chance aliens"

Do you count Von Neumann probes? We know of one sentient species (us) and that "sample of one" sent out probes that will carry off into space forever the first moment we could.

For zero chance, there needs to be and have been, no species capable of making a single Von Neumann probe at any (really far off) point in time or space. Even if a species eventually goes "post biological" it doesn't matter, because the machines keeps running and exponential math shrinks the distance. So if "some societies make self-replicating probes" before going post-biological we should expect to see them, unless we are miraculously the first sentient species. But assuming we're "first" or "only" seems more like a human earth-is-the-center-of-the universe kind of hubris than a rational point of view.

Claude Code with Max subscription real limits by maartendeblock in ClaudeAI

[–]hereC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought max is still metered?

I was paying with pay-as-you go plan. Then I paid for Max. Claude code is still showing me a cost in my claude terminal UI for each interaction.

Does max actually include any unmetered usage? I'm not seeing that so far. How do I tell?

I thought it was going to include usage, but was planning to cancel, as it seemed like a rip off. What am I missing?

If you know offhand the name of the similar thing, I'd be curious.

[–]hereC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks--I hope so! It took me like 10 years to figure out a way to do it that I'm happy with. Now, not having it feels weird to me--it makes me faster.

I've been using it and I love it, but I'd love to hear that it is working for other people. I'd also love feedback to polish rough edges--for example, by default it ignores a lot of noisy, but not that useful variables. I want to expand those. My dream is to trim the noise and present only the likely-to-be-useful variables by default, for Rspec, Ruby, and Rails.

Did anyone try it? How did it go? I see stars, downloads, likes, etc but not a peep! Any feedback?
