If the Answer is 42, What Was the Question? A satirical academic investigation into the meaning of 42, exploring Linux error codes, divine system administration, and why the universe probably runs on Linux.

From being woefully optimistic to being hopefully optimistic.

This is the Pixel World, a small 64x96 2D simulation populated with AI creatures making their own decisions to survive.

They explore, gather resources, build, talk with each other.

There's no scripted behavior model. Just a prompt with a list of actions, short memory, current state, world info.

Even removed Twitter/Bluesky/X/Mastadon from any of my portable devices while back.
Reddit still has the perc. anonymity but curating it similarly is nigh impossible.
I kinda would enjoy a classic link aggregator (only text and links) social media
but no one else does so I decided to give up instead

At somepoint, idea of a curated feed of sound people with one's interests felt like the ideal internet usage to me.
Overtime many things changed, how people interact w. social medias (became m. personal), the perceived anonymity of the internet and so on.
I am not interested in a such place anymore.

For example being able to filter out based on sites lets you find specific results.
It is similar to how people focus on short term gains while long term ones can be more benefitial or better.

I would say ChatGPT will take over due to the fact that majority used Google in a way that ChatGPT is very good at already.

Now it might seem that the goal is to get to the answer as quickly as possible but deterministic tools that one can wrap their head around open more potential use cases.

SWAT but this time in Europe
and you also have to manage officers like XCOM (basically 3's campaign system but with more details)

though I would also settle for just SWAT 4 remake but with no bugs and easily moddable

As someone living in a desert-ish climate, I can refute this.
You get worst of both climates

I wonder if there is any generic/abstract advice that applies to most cases of any kind.
Anyone got a clue?

As with everything good in life,
the gmail basic html version will be killed very soon.
For those who don't know, it was a very fast to load version of gmail, with very little sensory overload.
Here is an image from interwebs as I don't want to leak my gmail.

I like how, at the time, the Netflix Marvel shows weren't really seen as very good so weren't really considered canon, but now the rest of the MCU isn't really seen as very good either they slot RIGHT IN

Funnily it probably costs same or maybe even more from Croatia to go to Rome than Greece.

I wonder if the main issue ML projects have stems from their approach, that trying to quantify things as right and wrong.
Maybe there is no pattern to match.

Just like how training/memorizing is not the way to learn something.

I think there are a lot of companies that use some sort of tool to auto-analyze applicants and poll them with automation.
So having these probably gets them through the initial algorithmic pass.
I remember seeing a version of this where a guy wrote it as his favorite universities.
