Rick Sanchez defined the subset of the multiverse where he is the smartest being in the universe as the “Central Finite Curve.”

That’s pretty narcissistic.

They have a large stake in OpenAI, last I checked.

That’s incredible.

I was quite conservative back in 2006, having been raised that way and still years away from my “enlightenment,” but I knew Colbert was satire. I still thought he was hilarious. I’ve always thought it’s important to be able to laugh at yourself.

Bush clearly felt the same, he was laughing right along with the roast, and had just finished doing a bit with a Bush impersonator that also roasted him.

But Trump is incapable of humility, and cannot stand the traditional presidential roast at the Press Correspondents’ Dinner.

And if you like Sawbones, check out My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

It’s a comedy advice podcast from the lovable idiot and his two brothers. It’s great fun, and was referenced in the musical Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda is a big fan).

Nah. It’s the same leitmotif, just in a major key. Both are based on the Dies Irae, one of the oldest surviving pieces of written music which is often used in orchestral works (and movies) to denote death.

Look at the other replies to the parent post and you’ll see audio examples.

I don’t use TikTok but I knew plenty about Israel’s actions. It was all over the internet and plenty of news sources.

also I am in therapy figuring myself out and wouldn’t be right to pull someone else through this.

I personally disagree with this reasoning. I used to believe something similar about myself, but it turns out having a partner helped me immensely. I didn’t drag her down, she pulled me up.

Yeah, that’s what PM_Your_Nudes_Please said, and I hadn’t thought of that until they did. But you’re both right.

Those are just ideas that were previously “generated” by humans though, that the LLM learned

That’s not how modern generative AI works. It isn’t sifting through its training dataset to find something that matches your query like some kind of search engine. It’s taking your prompt and passing it through its massive statistical model to come to a result that meets your demand.

I suppose if they’re already using the spell regardless, yes.

That’s fascinating!

I agree. The enemy considering using the spell doesn’t know the HP totals. Why should the DM controlling that enemy?

All they’d need to do is generate thumbnails for every period on video load. Make that period adjustable. Might take a few extra seconds to load a video. Make it off by default if they’re worried about the performance hit.

There are other desktop video players that make this work.

That’s more terrible than great.

They didn’t call Alexander the Great that because he was a good dude. “Great” doesn’t inherently mean beneficial. The iPhone changed the world. As did Apple stealing their concept for a GUI and cursor from PARC and running with it.

ARM is its own thing.

Sure, but not every ARM processor is the M-series. The M-series proving the capacity of running a desktop OS on ARM in a meaningful way was important.

As someone who is not a musician - crushing all those instruments into one crazy thin form factor may allow me to play around with music but I’d never claim to be a musician

Sure. Although I wouldn’t say someone who creates music entirely on an iPad can’t be a musician.

This is similar to other forms of art. I’ve played around with visual arts on the iPad in ways I otherwise never would, but I wouldn’t call myself an artist. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t artists whose entire medium is iPad.

I was so frustrated by the controversy over that introduction. I thought it was a great way to represent how much the device can do in such a thin form factor. If I were more conspiracy-minded, I would think Apple created the controversy themselves for extra attention. It just seemed so ridiculous.

People got pissy because, in an effort to show all the things the new iPad Pro can do in an insanely thin form factor, Apple made an advertisement in which a bunch of paint cans and musical instruments and books and other stuff were crushed by a giant hydraulic press, and when it rises up, we’re left with a crazy thin iPad.

I thought it was creative. And the new iPad Pro is WILDLY thin. Discounting the camera bump it’s the thinnest device Apple has ever made, thinner even than the iPod Nano.

But the internet got all butthurt because it was disrespectful to art and music or something. They thought the ad was saying we don’t NEED paint or instruments anymore. But obviously the point of the ad was that all of that stuff is squeezed into this device, not that we can destroy everything else.

You know how the internet is. Someone will always be mad about something.

Edit: For the record, I’m a musician myself. I’ve sung with a professional orchestra for fifteen years. I’ve played violin (albeit not very well) for most of my life. And I use an iPad for my sheet music. Before anyone tries to tell me that I just don’t get it because I’m not in the offended demographic.

Apple? The iPhone was kind of a big deal. It wasn’t completely original, but nothing ever is. It made the smartphone worthwhile for the average consumer in a way that Palm and BlackBerry and others simply didn’t, and directly led to the mobile ecosystem we have now.

Obviously there were plenty of players in the space but Apple had right combination of features and potential market due to the popularity of the iPod.

Edit: Oh, also the M-series processor. That’s pretty great.

And yet they turned down having thumbnails for seeking because it would be too resource intensive. 😐
