I hope no finds out how easy it is to download software like lmstudio and 1click install DeepSeek-R1 or hundreds of other models to test at home on desktop hardware. It would be a terrible, possibly criminal, bit of information.

LLMs will replace the programmers right before they replace the satarists.

That will get passed on to a local municipality, just like building sprawling suburbs

Interplay…feel like I am in the Wayback Machine. I worked there for a few years at the time of Carmageddon, Fallout1/2, Descent, and some other classics. A lifetime ago.

I still have my Vault13 flask from Fallout2. Sad that I can not really use it anymore though as the printing is very fragile now.

I recommend vomiting a second time after that.

I am not a doctor, but I do sometime play one on the Interwebs.

My employer has thankfully taken the opposite approach. They decided that the only people who had to return to the office were those who needed to interact with directly humans or physical objects. Anyone who could do their job from home was free to do so. My boss said he was happy that employees could live where they wanted instead of within an hour of one of the offices. I took him at his word and moved from California to British Columbia.

I just canceled the Netflix account I have had since 2002.
They were great once…

Exactly what I was thinking. Place would not be as compelling if it were a regular occurrence or if it were a permanent never-ending contest.

3 Seasons is plenty of time to create a very complete and compelling story. The problem is when they dont allow for the completion of the story but instead cancel the show for $reasons.

I watched and loved the german series DARK and was quite excited for the new show 1899 from the same creators. Unfortunately it was dumped after only 1 season so I never even watched it. I dont want to get invested in something that I know will never be completed.

What made Place special was the rarity. It created a sort of internet time capsule of what was popular or in the collective mind at that point in time. If you wanted to get what was important to you on the board then you had to act with purpose RIGHT NOW because it would be over and gone in a couple of days. Even with all the effort put in it would be erased at the end. Just Dust in the Wind.

Last Week Tonight is on break so The Void should be available for engagements.

Words are wind, and that is all that Reddit is offering mods.

I feel bad for them. They clearly care far more about the communities they have created than Reddit can even pretend to.

I pulled an antique Apple2][ clone (Franklin 2100) out of storage the other day along with some old floppy disks. I was shocked when it fired right up and could still read my homework project from 1990. So while it is possible to recover old data off of ancient media, it is highly impractical to keep the required hardware in working order forever.
