Weird question. Can a child under 10 be taught coding? Yes, I started learning under 10. Was the word syntax used? Fuck if I can remember. I don’t think it would have mattered. Why do you think it matters?

Maybe you should put some pants on, if you want to keep fighting crime today

If it’s 90% boilerplate like you were saying above, how flexible does it need to be, really? If it only needs to get 90% there, surely a general-purpose scaffolding tool could do the job just as well.

“Not worth inventing”? Do you have any idea how insanely expensive LLMs are to run? All for a problem whose solution is basically static text with a few replacements?

Other than this nitpick, E33 is amazing; a work of art

Expedition 33, Verso talks Monoco into coming with them to Old Lumiere.

Nah, the upgrades you get are all useful, the biggest problem is the UI for wading through them. It needs more options. Rather than just Offensive/Defensive/Support, I want filters like “base attack” “interacts with burning” “triggered by parrying” and so on.

This one. What the fuck, devs?

Missed opportunity for it to say

Ground beef? In this economy?

I’m sure I could come up with so many, but these sprung to mind:

• The opera scene from FFVI
• Aerith and Sephiroth from FFVII
• The intro and ending of Transistor “Hey— Red— We’re not going to get away with this, are we?”
• Final showdown with Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengence
• Gustave and Lune argue about whether to continue the mission in Expedition 33. “When one falls, we continue. Not if, when!”

No they are fucking not, because LLMs are nondeterministic word generators. They are not self aware and at a glance at the paper, the reason they “sabotaged” the shutdown was they were misinterpreting the so-called “admonition” prompt, a problem that anyone who has used a GenAI coding assistant is all too familiar with. This is a pathetic attempt to fool people into thinking that these models are much more capable than they actually are, probably out of a motivation to keep the scam going a little longer.

Such a good scene. This is my vote too.

As an adult with a job and a family, that’s about all I have time to play to the finish per year

SASQUATCH IS SOMETHING I HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE

Yeah. Jesus was explicitly clear that he came specifically for the Jews and that his offer was for them. The only gospel story that even hints at anything is is the story of the Gentile woman who wanted him to hear her daughter; he told her that he came for the Jews, and she replied that even the dogs may eat scraps from the master’s table. Jesus was “amazed by her faith” and healed her daughter, but that’s the end of the story.

It’s only after Jesus’ death that Peter had a vision that he interpreted to mean that Gentiles could be accepted as following Jesus too, and then Paul really leaned into it. Most of the rest of the New Testament is written by Paul or one of his disciples.

I learned that much later. So now I feel bad for how I reacted back then. Back pain is no joke.

I always found this insufferable for some reason.

What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?
