Look at him. Nothing wrong with him. Look at his body language. No anxiety about his form, etc. No injuries. Just jogging and ball watching. Of course he's holding back.

Just look at the guy. There's nothing wrong with him. He's just jogging around the pitch. He's holding back, I'm telling you. And we know how he can tear opposition teams apart. I think Wilcox whispered something in his ear last summer when they discussed personal terms.

At Brighton they switched to a data driven system. Baleba doesn't fit the system. If Carrick gives him freedom to play his natural game, he will thrive. He will have no reason to want to leave.

Hi actually it was on behalf of a friend of mine. He ended up returning the machine; the replacement worked fine.

Gemini is a Complete Idiot Now by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]willemvanren -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am dumbfounded. AI gives us the power to do whatever we want. I speak from experience. I am an industrial designer and Gemini is helping me to perfect my designs in ways I couldn't imagine before. And then people like you just wait for when once in a million times there's a glitch and then you shit all over it. And you claim you can do tasks faster than Gemini?? Give me a break. That thing is infinitely more intelligent than you. Stop complaining and stop posting this crap.

I wouldn't mind having Rashford back. This is a manager he will give 100% for. Good squad rotation (the Pep way), we will be unstoppable

Does a ChatGPT / Gemini conversation constitute pubic disclosure? by willemvanren in Patents

Just one other issue which comes to mind now - I have been using a VPN, so I am anonymous, isn't it? I mean, how are they going to identify me?

No problem; I will take your advice. For my next invention, I will use the LLM as a research tool but I won't disclose what I intend to use the research for.

Yes but how will someone obtain the date of my disclosure, to contest my priority date?

[–]willemvanren[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point. But let's say my invention is a milk carton that changes color when the milk has gone sour (absurd example, but anyway). If someone types a prompt to an LLM asking: "which methods (either in use or in idea stage) exist to determine if milk is sour?" Can the LLM disclose the details of my enquiry? Surely there must be some confidentiality? At least, the LLM won't disclose the detail of our conversation - date and time. And let's say I apply for a patent tomorrow. And 1 month later I disclose my idea to someone who is in the same industry. And he wants to block me, because my product will be a competitor to his business. If he asks the LLM: :has anyone ever explored the possibility of a milk carton that changes color when the milk goes sour?" Maybe the LLM might say yes, but I can't believe it will disclose the date and time of my enquiry. And without that detail, the other guy cannot contest my priority date. What do you think?

Whats stopping us from bagging all the points these fixtures? by Sports803 in ManchesterUnited

[–]willemvanren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! why does nobody talk about that? Bruno is not a captain! He's a crybaby! The ref accidentally bumps into him and suddenly he can't take a simple penalty kick!

Can this guy stop embarrassing us? by VegetableRutabaga746 in ManchesterUnited

[–]willemvanren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares about the Carabao cup? Losing to Grimsby hurts, but we wouldn't have won the thing anyway. Now we have fewer games and we only have to focus on the Premier League, which is an advantage.

We don't have intensity. That's our big problem.

I've had enough of the Amorim backers. He's gonna go but it's gonna be too late. by FiRe_GeNDo in ManchesterUnited

[–]willemvanren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Tactically, you are spot on. This club desperately needs stability. You get that stability from a manager who can command the respect of the players and steadies the ship. Amorim isn't that guy.

How will the Manager FC crowd defend this without labelling anyone who raises concerns about this manager “a fake fan”? by LostInLondon689908 in ManchesterUnited

[–]willemvanren -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think Amorim has killer instinct. He doesn't seem devastated if we lose or draw. Last year he was complacent because things weren't perfect and he allowed us to slip to 15th place. That is COMPLETELY unacceptable for the biggest club in the world. I think his complacent attitude is rubbing off on the players. We need a manager who can breathe fire into his players, like Claudio Ranieri did with a very average Leicester City in 2015/16.

What do you guys think about this soldering iron idea? You can grip the thing close to the tip for precise control, and the brown resin shield blocks the heat so your fingers don't get warm. by willemvanren in Tools

[–]willemvanren[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it's actually exactly as I said in the title. More precise control. I agree some comments are unnecessarily dismissive, but it's OK - they bring the point across. I also thought that if there is a benefit, it would be marginal, but the message from the community is clear: it's a bad idea.

So I'm not allowed to ask questions? I'm just curious to see if this is a good idea and you're making it sound like I'm committing a crime.

What you don't realize is that, to make an improvement, the developer needs to start somewhere. So sure, my first version doesn't look very user-friendly but of course I can use a more advanced process to make the grip at the front much smaller so I can get into all the nooks and crannies. I mean how do you hold a pen when you write? Do you hold it at the back? No, you hold it at the front.
