Skin Deep is a phenomenal little immersive sim and it’s not that long.

I highly recommend it.

I particularly enjoyed the reveal that the mighty walls of Troy, which the entire Greek coalition spent 10 years camped outside, was a 15 foot mud brick partition which could have been breached by two tall men and a running jump.

People give the movie Troy shit but at least they did justice to the city in that one.

Tom Holland as incapable 35 year old weak man-boy, spec-ops archer firefights and the “bronze shower” of weapons being dropped through the floor were just the icing on an increasingly ridiculous adaptation.

Ok.

consciousness is a defined word with historical meaning.

Paywall so I can’t actually read the whole article but from the abstract:

Based on a survey of the brain anatomy, functional complexity, and behaviors of a broad spectrum of animals, criteria were established for the emergence of consciousness.

“We’ve drawn an arbitrary line around ‘consciousness’ and have decided what’s on either side” isn’t exactly the concrete dismissal they seem to think it is.

I shared this on github

Why bother? Everyone can have Claude pump it out for themselves if they want.

We need a per fighter number comparing international aid to Ukraine against Iranian aid to the Houthis. I’d actually be surprised if the numbers were far off based on the size of the AFU and the difficulty the Houthis must have in getting arms after Russia turned off the tap to the black market.

And ask them to grind it for you if you don’t have a good grinder.

The Swiss are famously always on the wrong side of history.

Neutrality only favours evil.

I assume any defensive structures built these days are temporary and are only for practice lasting the duration of the exercise.

Headline is pretty clickbaity

Tanks, infantry, medics and engineers are pushing east from their base in Adazi, Latvia to take part in a multi-day exercise. …
Russia has also been conducting similar military readiness exercises across the border.

10kg of muscle is not an insane amount for a 193cm man to put on. Especially when he weighs over 100kg

Dude’s caressing the floor of a McDonald’s with his toes.

Probably a love hotel. You can rent rooms by the hour.

enjoy doing sht the tedious mindless way?

I know perl.

I was trying to have a coffee yesterday while two guys next to me were having the most mind numbing conversation about AI.

The worst part is that when they go on about “spinning up agents”, discussing which models are better than others, someone listening in might be tricked into thinking they’re actually intelligent or understand something complicated. It’s already developed a jargon that obfuscates the fact that they’re just typing brain dead prompts into a chatbox and pretending they’re wizards.

Turns out the guy wanted to give Claude full disk access so it can automatically download/upload videos he’s editing from remote storage. I sincerely hope the fucker loses all his data.

Women account for … and almost two-thirds of all dementia deaths.

Longer lives, less heart disease and improving cancer treatments?

Is dementia more common or are other diseases killing women less.

I’m shocked at the huge sums people are posting. I agree 2 million is loads. 600k for a house then the rest is 2k per month of disposable income for 60 years.

Yeah it exists with consent now, but you can’t say it was formed with consent. Its just a minor correction.

Northern Ireland was formed and exists by consent by the parties involved.

As you sound like you’re an expert on Irish history, I’m sure you’ll remember there was a full fledged civil war fought in Ireland over the fact that the North was abandoned during the war for independence.
