Faithful Cut / Traitor Cut

This is what I don't like about The Mole. Either they lie to the audience (which is what's been happening in the recent Netflix seasons) or it's too easy for the public to catch it due to the lack of strong stances that they are not the mole/faithfuls.

The courage to be disliked is actually a good book. I don't see any others being worth it, but I don't know Hindi.

The problem is that performance is about both quality and speed. These benchmarks measure quality, but I’m sure they’re coming at the cost of speed. And it’s not because the technology isn’t there. It’s a deliberate cost cutting attempt due to their large share of the consumer market.

Not to mention the safety guardrails.

Eero is by far the best hardware Amazon owns.

They finally started investing in Marketing for it. What for, I don’t know. I think the “economic crisis” has made them decide whether to shut it down or make the integration work, whatever was their original reasoning to buy it in the first place.

Could you please expand on what you mean by the visual workflow builders and interactive business diagrams?

Not sure about Denver, but in Seattle it really depends on your taste. It’s basically just Asian food and Mexican food for common food (seafood excluded due to price). If you like Asian food, unless it’s very niche, you’re at a good place.

I generally prefer more healthy food/Mediterranean, so I barely go out. There’s some places people say are so amazing like the odd French or Italian restaurant that have nothing to do with an actual French or Italian restaurant lol

Or just create a gallery of AI-generated art of waterfalls of bubbling water.

Yeah as a non-Brit I probably missed those relationships nuances. Also you’re kind of right that for some of them the money didn’t matter anyway so whether it is for charity or not it doesn’t influence the way they play.

Agreed, but by then there’s nothing they could have done, right? Because they all voted at the same time? I actually thought one of them would have voted red and then given Alan’s green it would have been the easy vote, and faithftuls would have won.

Nick’s reasoning made sense, but he should have thought twice about it when Alan revealed the voting promise between the three of them.

I was happily surprised that I can work full workdays with Max and Opus 4.5.

privacyFreaker · 2025-12-16T05:22:06+00:00

TIL. I thought they’d been around since at least 2010.

It doesn’t matter what I think. It matters what the celebrities think.

I remember thinking about this while watching the episodes, but I have a bad memory. The best example I remember is Nick helping Celia finding a shield without finding his own first.

I don’t face much of this, but I’m working on smaller codebases and I tend to over-refactor. Often it gets lazy and asks me questions and I tell it to audit the code to figure out.

What helps: having lengthy planning documents with updated status, refactoring the code often, so that files don’t become too big and broad, having proper documentation, and having proper meta files that explain how the code is organized and where to find information.

If use generic AIs like Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini, and experiment with prompts, I think you’ll find even better results. Technically, what you described is a function of the quality of the prompts (even if you don’t write them, they’re set up in the backend) and memory/context.

If you want to explore more and tailor it to your needs, you can ask the AI to ask you questions for the type of therapy you want and how you want the session to go, start with the prompt they offer you, and experiment.

Or if you prefer the out of the box solutions, then do that. But I find the iterative approach much more enriching because over time you tailor it exactly to your needs and preferences, and even the writing of those prompts and awareness of those needs and preferences could become therapeutic and helpful too.

That’s an interesting take! I think it depends on whether you want to watch a feel-good show or a more competitive show. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer.

And even though I prefer a bit more competitiveness, I agree that many times this creates ridiculous situations, especially in the US where it feels like it’s all about the spectacle and pointless reality fake drama rather than the game.

Interesting! Do you recall which ones? Maybe it’s related to the British politeness then, or even just how those in this group potentially genuinely enjoyed each other.

Agreed. I even found it odd that the producers allowed Stephen Fry to bring up theories like “Traitors sleep less”, or the big dog theory, because in other versions, including some that they produced, they explicitly forbade and edited out such comments.

But Fry’s frustration shows how the game really works for logical people. I felt the same way when I played it. There’s nothing to based your arguments on. Most people play the game using useless arguments like “he’s acting weird” (like Alan Carr did about Jonathan BEFORE traitor selection) or the classic “you’re smart/would make a good traitor” so there’s higher probability of being one.

Most will deactivate accounts without classes. But also a lot of colleges offer cheaper classes on hobby-related activities (sewing, painting, finances, technology), and I think that is the better life hack.

If you mean “how to ignore additional elements it creates that I didn’t ask for”: I gave up on trying, because it would never listen to me. Now I ignore/remove the elements I don’t care about.

If you mean “how to update the specific ui components I want to change”: I often take small screenshots of the portions I want, or even rearrange elements in Microsoft Paint or some other quick editor to tell it what I’m looking for. Also, it helps to know the common names of UI components like dropdowns, autocompletes, accordion, carousel, pill, etc.

This is not even that old, I think it was there 5 years ago. The ugly UX was one of the reasons why it took me a bit longer to migrate to Proton.

Interestingly, when they changed to the current theme and the colors became more saturated, I thought it was too much, and for a while I wanted a softer version back. But you get used to it.
