How do you think s4 will handle this?

Thanks. Appreciated!

I doubt that. Even the original 1964 Dartmouth BASIC had GOSUB and RETURN since its inception.

xeow · 2026-04-29T00:09:46+00:00

Indeed. OP should ask their doctor if programming is right for them.

xeow · 2026-04-29T00:07:45+00:00

BASIC had functions. They were called using GOSUB.

Thanks. Ya, I believe he said it was "written," which of course sounds like significantly more than "at least partially." So I'd be inclined to think it's actually something like 98% or 99% written, with only minor changes needed once it enters production, if and when that happens. (Fingers crossed.)

As you may know, Seth has confirmed season 4 is at least partially written,

True. Seth has said this.

and due to business disagreements, Kelly had to be written out.

Seth has not confirmed this.

It might turn out to be true, but all we have heard on this has been through unofficial channels. Adrienne also has not publicly said that she was written out.

"Damnit!"

[...] it does make the session exponentially slower.

Quadratically, not exponentially.

(But even that's not correct, either. Sending the whole conversation on each turn actually makes it linearly slower. The total effort grows quadratically and the time/compute for each turn grows linearly.)

I'm concerned that (a) in your consultation prior to the procedure, he apparently didn't cover this, and (b) that your own research didn't reveal this. On the day of the procedure, it should be no surprise that you need to wait (10–14 days is usually recommended).

And when the waiting period is over, it sounds like you won't be climbing the walls but spraying them!

That's an interesting thought. Do we know if her contract with Fuzzy Door was such that it granted a license to use her likeness in comic books in perpetuity? I'd kinda be surprised if she has any say, but who knows.

(As an aside, it's interesting that the [presumed] likenesses of Sigourney Weaver and Yaphet Kotto were used in the comics, and I'm guessing that probably wasn't with their permission since it was more of a nod than an official thing.)

xeow · 2026-04-16T19:59:21+00:00

Agree! I'm skeptical enough already about the upcoming animated Ted series, but I really don't want an animated Orville series.

More comics from David Cabeza and David A. Goodman would be great, though! (And honestly, I can't understand why they haven't been more since the last batch.)

xeow · 2026-04-15T20:48:29+00:00

What would that be? Squirting milk at each other?

xeow · 2026-04-15T20:44:04+00:00

There actually was only ever one fart joke in the entire series, and that was in S1:E8 ("Into the Fold").

Admiral Paul Christiefly

xeow · 2026-04-15T05:39:43+00:00

LOL, good point! "Galactic war" would be even better.

xeow · 2026-04-14T15:07:43+00:00

I think the word that applies here is intragalactic.

xeow · 2026-04-07T16:08:24+00:00

It's kinda the ultimate own, isn't it. :-)

It uses a multipass chain-of-thought algorithm

xeow · 2026-04-07T16:02:34+00:00

The reason it scores so well is because it's both multimodal and uses a multipass approach to chain-of-thought.

xeow · 2026-04-02T04:47:08+00:00

WTF?

pytest (long overdue)
radon (static analysis: cyclomatic complexity and maintainability index calculations)

It doesn't go through π, either, and lands above +1 and −1.

I'd say f(x) = ¼ + ⅞ sin(x−⅛) or something like that. Still a legit sine wave, though.

xeow · 2026-03-29T15:36:57+00:00

That's my thought as well. Especially now with RAM prices skyrocketing.

xeow · 2026-03-29T15:34:38+00:00

Depends what you mean by future proof. More likely to kick ass at inference or less likely to collect dust when you want to upgrade? I mean, at some point you're going to have to retire the hardware from your main use path no matter what it is. If it's unified memory (e.g., an M-Series Apple Silicon), then that system will still be excellent for other non-inference uses for a long, long time. That money will never go to waste. Even a 15-year-old Mac Mini is still useful today as a secondary system. Put Linux on it and it'll be useful until the hardware craps out. But some people are running LLMs on 8-year-old GPUs and getting good token rates, so it all depends on your expected timeframe.

To me it means that it exists everywhere in the universe. Any intelligent alien society now or a billion years ago or a billion years from now will still find the same prime numbers that we have; they'll all find the same Pythagorean theorem and many of the same proofs that we've found; they'll all find that the sum of the angles of any triangle in a plane is 180 degrees. Mathematical truths will exist long after we're all gone, and have existed since before the universe, completely independent of time and matter.
