  • I’m a bit worried after Cyberpunk and now this that large western franchises will use anime as a glorified advertisement.

    But on the other hand, it looks like a fun show, well animated too and written by the tag team who wrote Vivy, so I have no reason to think it’ll be bad.

    Also I (tongue-in-cheek) worry about the consequences of putting Harley Quinn (and to a lesser degree Joker) in front of all the weebs and otaku…




  • Do we have a AI with a theory of mind or just a AI that answers the questions in the test correctly?

    Now whether or not there is a difference between those two things is more of a philosophical debate. But assuming there is a difference, I would argue it’s the latter. It has likely seen many similar examples during training (the prompts are in the article you linked, it’s not unlikely to have similar texts in a web-scraped training set) and even if not, it’s not that difficult to extrapolate those answers from the many texts it must’ve read where a character was surprised at an item missing that that character didn’t see being stolen.


  • I’m sure someone with more experience can weigh in better than me. From my understanding, they are important to a degree, even outside of calligraphy, where of course they are very important.

    Handwriting will start to deteriorate as people write faster and more sloppily. However, if they use the correct stroke types, it will deteriorate in a more predictable manner. I’m gonna be honest here, I do personally not pay attention to the stroke types, but for example if you look at “tome” vs. “harai”, doing stop pen -> lift pen means it’s way less likely for there to be a faint line from the end of one stroke to the start of the next one, as would often happen after sloppily writing a “harai” stroke.

    This is the same reason why stroke order (and direction) is very important when it comes to legibility of handwriting.





  • When moving to another mail provider, I can forward mails going to the old address to the new one.

    You’re assuming that the reason for the move is not the old mail provider shutting down. If the old provider shuts down and you cannot somehow get their domain name, all mails sent to your old address will just vanish in the void (or even worse, be gobbled up by whoever owns the domain now, better hope there’s no personal info in there that you wouldn’t want in their hands).


  • My favorite comment regarding Noita is still the top comment on YouTube to the launch trailer (the first trailer on the Steam store page.)

    Basically the secret to becoming a master of this game is to learn how to resist the urge to do 90% of the things you see in this trailer.

    Which has been at the top of the YouTube comments for a long time for good reason. I fucking love this game though.
