The only issue is that this skeleton has no neck that could just kind of do that

That officially you have “whom” on the books, but then if anyone uses it, they are seen as weird.

The beginning of 2030 is in 3.5 years. That seems rather short.

Remember their recent issues with transmission of Measles, those point towards gaps in the public health system, I would think. Not the best starting position for such an anti HIV campaign.

Nonetheless, I hope the attempt is genuine, and wish them the best of luck.

That’s okay with me. This discussion hasn’t been fruitful since you latched on to the term “know” instead of engaging with the content.

Sure just like we could discover the Greek gods exist tomorrow.

The point is that there is no reason to plan towards AGI for those CEOs.

I think you should try stating your wishes, and then sticking with them. It worked for me before, when I was also struggling with a similar thing, thought it was grownups, instead of kids.

If you say things like “not right now”, “I’m doing x currently”, “I can’t because I’m busy”, this signals to them that they need to wait, and you will be available later. And as they get impatient they will ask you again. This isn’t what you want.

If you say “sorry, today I would like to play alone” they will possibly be more disappointed that they don’t get you at all, but at least they will know not to expect your availability and they can hopefully make their own fun. It’s sort of like ripping off the band-aid. It’s more uncomfortable for you to say it this way, and will hurt them more to hear, but it’s better for everyone involved in the long run.

I used to be evasive with my adult gaming friends, like “I’m not sure I’ll be online today” and “I might come on later”, sometimes while hiding my steam and discord status and playing alone. But it had the same effect you’re describing. These days I just tell them, “Sorry I’m too tired”, or “Sorry I feel like playing a single player game today”. It’s miles better, and I don’t have to keep lying.

I think they know AGI is far off, and are setting a more medium term goal. I think they are just trying to corner the new LLM market that might emerge. Even if the bubble pops and 3/4 go bust, they hope to be the one that survives and gets to be the quasi-monopoly in that market for the next decade.

Just to make sure have you actually tried turning them down? Even if they are kids you’re allowed to say no.

Like “No, sorry, I want to do my own thing alone, tonight” ?

No, I’m not interested in that topic

And one even starts with:

You’re completely right

Hahaha

The have a whole thing about doing their own pronunciations because using the original one from the language they are borrowing from is apparently either pretentious or racist depending on how superior they feel to the region the word originates from.

Wow I thought he meant they couldn’t figure out who did the targeting (which I wouldn’t have believed either), but no, he’s actually trying to disclaim the entire rocket!

“Somebody said it was our missile, maybe ​it wasn’t our missile but I have seen nothing to lead me to believe ‌it ⁠was,” Trump remarked, adding: “I don’t think it was us.”

No, just the allbutt :-)

Oh I hadn’t realized that Beidou-3 has global coverage. I thought that was still a regional system. Thanks for mentioning countries outside of their earlier area of coverage

The entire stock market runs on GPS for nanosecond timing of trades.

Funny you should mention this. At work we built a time delivery system on our fiber optic network (based on WhiteRabbit from CERN) with the national lab who generates our countries UTC contribution, and a stock market operator became one of our early customers.

It would be really funny if Trump and Netanyahu put hits on each other.

Once you have it figured out, just mechanically doing it all correctly for 1023 steps is also annoying.

I did it up to the 511 moves for the 9-pice game on Android once, and according to the stats page that took me 6 min 18 seconds. The 10-piece version does not have a time, so I think I gave up :-)

Safe? Yes.

It’s not like the thing will break if you demand a lot from it. At the very worst, if even throttling doesn’t help the computer to regulate temperature, what you will experience is an emergency shutdown.

So then I got to thinking, how many people (genuine fans) from some of these countries are actually able to travel to North America paying peak travel and accommodation costs in addition to the match ticket cost? It must be the 1% of the 1% of many fanbases.

And then factor in how many would even risk it under the current US government. We’ve all read the stories of random travellers being arrested and spending a fortnight in terrible arrest conditions before being able to fly home.

Examples: British, German, Swiss, Canadian, French

Is it just me or is this paragraph confusing as fuck with regards to the time form?

Ferrari plans to roll out the electric vehicle (EV) after previously ruling out such a move, opting instead to make hybrid cars that are powered by both petrol and electricity.

My ESL ass would have written it more like this

Ferrari plans to roll out the electric vehicle (EV) after having previously ruled out such a move. At the time they opted instead to make hybrid cars that are powered by both petrol and electricity.

Not sure my version is grammatical, but at least you know what’s now and what was then.
