Pyrrhic Victory II: Epirus Harder
The big difference, I think, between those games and modern LLMs is the ability to execute a complex series of actions instead of just one action at a time. So we're effectively losing discoverability in exchange for... not sure how to put it... expressiveness, leverage or inference.
That's a fair point. With a UI, the capability map is pretty much always there for you to look at.
Presumably one answer would be... ask the interface a question about capability. I don't know if that kind "discoverability" leads to better or worse results in terms of users being able to understand the system.
I'm curious about your take on the idea that UI might have less of a role to play in website design because some of that mediation might be taken over by LLMs (in the form of user-facing MCP servers, etc). I.e. do you still need buttons and input fields if you can tell the site what to do directly?
I feel like "number go up" is a bit healthier than trying track a subjective physique.
Its probably kind of bad that this society-changing tech is in the hands of a small number of absolute scumbags, who fundamentaly either don't care about the fallout or are actively cheering for it.
Ah. The first few episodes were pretty iffy to me, I guess I should give it another shot. Thanks.
Which one are you watching?
Duncan Idaho thinks you need to tweak your resume a bit...
We might get the first one, but certainly not the latter two!
I want to stop living, and yet am afraid to die. A miserable pile of secrets. Etc.
Doctors weren't getting the job done — they were brusque or judgy or assholes (understandably!). So the government hired a corps of vaccine counselors, who would take parents in and talk to them nicely and help them think about their options. Vax rates rose 20% www.statnews.com/2019/08/05/t...
“Breathe! Breathe!” he recalled officers shouting about 6:30 a.m. Then he said he heard an officer say “Dudes, you killed that dude.” A female guard replied “If he is dead, we’re going to cover it up and he’s going to have an alibi -- my officers,” the FBI notes said. The inmate claimed the whole wing overheard the exchange. Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article314966334.html#storylink=cpy
The Miami Herald reports that an inmate told the FBI he heard prison guards discussing the fact that they killed Epstein and were going to cover it up the morning he died.
The female guard below received thousands of dollars of payments in the months before Epstein died.
Very fashionable little claw-warmers though.
This has the chance to be more of a curse than a blesssing, depending on which energy interests actually win out.
Don't burn out dude.
It's only going to get worse though... both here and out there.
All of these are true, but I think this makes Poland's current US-centric, EU-skeptical policy kind of a dead end. Personally think Poland should just become a stronger counterweight to Gemany within the EU and revive a kind of Intermarium, given at least some of the shared east European concerns.
Yeah, I was being more tongue-in-cheek here. This is some form of whataboutism (not always invalid, mind you), and DisabilityDiversion captures that better.
Isn't this just tumblrification? Can't have 15 min cities because disabled people need to drive (never mind the many disability-friendly alternatives), etc.
I need that chyron to chill...
My SO used to work as a public school teacher in Texas about 10 years ago. Median salary was 35K. If you had an M.Ed or MA, you got an extra 500/mo. PhD? 1000/mo. No unions. Had to buy supplies with her own money. Basically the only way to make a decent wage was to go into administration.
Poland is kind of in a weird place. Its been anti-Russian for a long time (understandably), but also somewhat opposed to a German-dominated EU and now I guess also breaking with the US somewhat.
I wouldn't say "can't" as much as I would say that building enough housing would be a product of the same state-led construction policy that the abundance people abhor. I'm generally in favor of densification just because it is more ecologically viable, but it will require the equivalent of a GND.
Didn't this setup lead to massive co-ordination failure during WWI for AH? Two armies, two separate command structures, two different languages, etc. Not quite the same in the modern day (and language barrier isn't as much of an issue), but C2 seems even more important.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Years of drinking a chemical-flavoured goo "for the gains", have inured me to whatever shit this is.
Wasn't a lot of CA's stuff marketing BS though? Like, they did created bad meme propaganda aimed at specific audiences, but it wasn't any more sophisticated than just regular marketing audience segmentation (that did not work nearly as well as they claimed).
