Sorry

One time (~7 years ago in my previous neighborhood) I was running in a low-activity road in my neighborhood with a jogging stroller with my kid in it and a miniature poodle came blitzing out all crazy like. I picked it up by the collar and gave it to the owner who was upset I grabbed their...

My neighborhood has had an upward trend of people installing electric fences for their pets (fences are disallowed in the HOA) which I think is great. One of the houses on my normal family-walk route has an middle-aged golden retriever that's pretty chill and another has a younger german...

Any animal suitable as a family pet in a suburban neighborhood.

It's trolling and it's all the same murder beast to me. I'm sure someone who thinks pitbulls make good pets would make whatever arguments are here about the distinction. Are Pit Bulls And Staffies the Same? | Dog Breeds FAQ

I hope that part of that Dept's training they go ham on some 2x4 framed training houses with typical doorways and probably not much else. Really all I'm trying to say in this convo is that it's typical for 3 able bodied men with weapons to be unable to control a pitbull. The best they could do...

I'm getting paid 1k plat per post to convince nerds that if a pitbull wants them dead, there's probably not much they can do to stop it.

You should give firemen classes on how to swing fireman pickaxes.

What this article doesn't say is what the different agencies use that isn't UTC. Describing "moon time" as a time zone is misleading because it's not about what time moon farmers should wake up to milk their moon cows. Instead the problem is about relativistic time dilation. It's a mess but for...

People watching pitbull attacks and talking about what they'd do

You think he held back?

That's a good question. I'd say no. A family looking to protect what they have might enjoy having their own monster, so that's good for them against other humans. The roving bands of ownerless-pitbulls would basically be apex predators in most suburbia areas. Any benefit of pitbull on mushroom...

No but I did laugh at it. I feel like both breeds are energetic and good-natured and merely unlikely to turn into elderly-eating, fireman-fighting deathbeasts. Watching a pitbull shrug off a full power pick-axe swing from a trained firefighter really crystallizes how fucked you probably are if...

It's already happening. The attrition from older people dying in EQ is probably several standard deviations above the mean compared to MMOs. It'll never attract large groups of new, younger players. And it doesn't really have to.

As a layman I agree 100%. The idea of patenting game concepts that are as fundamental as a responsive NPC interaction scheme is crazy.

Got a link to that?

If ChatGPT could be trained to work within the framework of a game system this would be A++. Those quest steps aren't far from the kind of quest trees produced in something like Skyrim's radiant quests. Bethesda Tutorial Radiant Quests - Creation Kit Setting Up Locations for Radiance: Skyrim...

What did the robot say that was woke?

Moving my response to the Shadow of War thread. It's funny that you posted that because I just learned that Wonder Woman is finally building on the Nemesis system. https://www.escapistmagazine.com/wonder-woman-is-the-perfect-fit-for-the-nemesis-system/ Also saw this vid linked which is...

I never got into KSP. Why are they creating KSP2 instead of building on KSP1? Both use Unity, but are there other major limitations to KSP1 that are motivating them to remake instead of improve?

I could see the gameplay being compelling if you're the seeker or one of the beaters responsible for fucking up the seeker. If you're the Keeper or Chaser, you'll just play wizard soccer for a few minutes until the seeker catches the snitch and invalidates everything you've done.

Yeah, agreed. I don't know how common it is for high earth orbit satellites to have ellipictal orbits that intersect with Starlink, but if they did that orbital mass could displace into high earth orbit if a starlink keppler syndrome btfo'd anything that descended into LEO with enough velocity...

The comforting thing about Starlink satellites is that they have a ~5 year orbital lifespan. So if a massive disaster happened creating a Kessler syndrome that made those low earth orbit altitudes a nightmare, I think ? it'd work itself out in a few years. Then again I don't know what kind of...

I just finished those two books. I enjoyed them but

This is the right position to take, especially when it looks like big features like Quidditch were planned and then probably booted to DLC. Many gamers are morons who don't understand how a feature can be planned as part of the main game and then bounced out of the release during crunch time...

made with Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker - FRAMED. Screenshot Community and reshade searching "hogwarts" in Hall of Framed gives some cool results too in motion vid from that person

It's impossible to say because even if openai published their detailed design it probably wouldn't be up to date. https://lifearchitect.ai/chatgpt/

I didn't actually check these answers but ChatGPT appears to have dominated some basic geometry questions. What's funny is that 19.69^3 = 7633.736209

Yeah, it's weird that it's able to come up with syntax correct code for fairly difficult questions and not have mathematically coherent answers for basic addition.

Sentience is an awkward bar to set for an AI because it's more philosophical than anything grounded in biology, science, physics, math etc. Personally i think most humans have a pretentious view of their own sentience. Like they aren't just a bunch of lizard survival instincts with a thin veneer...

The best way to get a chatbot to pass turing is probably to make it stupid and annoying. "Lol what idk" is the most human response to most questions.

Imagine a psychological thriller where Santa is a maniacal tyrant that has enslaved a race of magical beings, genetically engineered them to like subservience. They are immortal and don't breed, so just adhere to a miserable life for all eternity to create joy that they will never experience.

I'm no Harry Potter lore nerd but the concept of house elves is pretty gross. Fantasy slaves like familiars, elementals etc is common as you say, but House Elves are portrayed as the most pitiable version in that they are generally mistreated, love being mistreated and would hate to be set free...

An example of "bullying" is to ask it a sentence that makes no sense. It'll make it fit. This kind of reads like the question a protagonist in a movie uses to get out of an impossible robot-prisoner situation. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LogicBomb

Sure, but it can get things wrong in egregious ways that would be an obvious indicator that it's a chatbot and not a human. Even if ChatGPT was trained to pretend to be a human, if it fucks up questions like this it can fail the Turing test. What's interesting is that the January version of...

No, but chatbots built for the same purpose as ChatGPT never will because they don't attempt to act like a human, just provide useful responses. I imagine that a chatbot with the same level of technological backing as ChatGPT could if it was designed too though, as long as the evaluator wasn't...

My choice was pretty much young
