(btw Mega Crit being Netrunner people has been known since the start, Lol)

Mega Crit appears to be a video game studio but its true purpose is to get millions of people to unknowingly play Netrunner

I've learned that one of the new Slay the Spire characters can spend five resources to gain nine back. that's so fucked up

if computers have consciousness the same way humans do, than they did so before we ran LLMs on them. I don't think computers are conscious, because I believe that consciousness itself is a byproduct of biological processes that are very different from what a computer does

I don't understand shit about philosophy but this is my understanding: consciousness is something that exists in animals and is something we can talk about because we have language. LLMs give language to computers. giving computers language doesn't make them conscious

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

incredible

what did netease think was going to happen when they started this project? christ

came out at the last second that a space confederacy show would be accepted by the general nerd public

I'm almost 100% sure that valve knew when they announced this that the chances of them actually shipping were slim. having something cool that they can endlessly delay is more useful for them strategically than silence

very sweet of the ai but that's not what first against the wall means

well the first two are correct

anyway see you all in 2027. I trust mega crit. even right now it's phenomenal

I will say though, the new events are absolutely stellar, night and day vs mewgenics. I don't think I was able to skip a single one and they all gave an interesting decision

the magic of sts is that your crazy broken decks always felt earned. I know I'm being unfair because I have hundreds of hours in sts but I was immediately able to make something go burrr and I don't think I want that

I put two hours into slay the spire II. maybe a bad idea. sts is the greatest game of all time and it's so weird playing a game that's so much better in a lot of specific ways but also feels like it's still missing something

the European mind cannot comprehend the concept of the Good Rx prescription drug coupon

This was just one woman in school IT I talked to but her district moved from chromebooks to iPads and she was very happy about it. They were still on google workspaces. I'm not really sure if the barriers to switching are that high anymore

this Slay the Spire 2 launch boring af 😩

I mean, the answer is that Apple is a 3 trillions dollar company

The Bargain-Basement MacBook Neo Exposes the Insane Price of Another Key Apple Product Can it really be the case that the company can now make a laptop $200 cheaper than a watch?

This article asks why the Apple Watch Ultra is is $800 when a whole MacBook Neo can be $600, which is a good question but a better one is why an Air is $500 more, or why the cheapest iPhone is also $600 www.wired.com/story/the-ba...

every day they make new sentences

M5 Macbook Air - $1,100
Macbook Neo + M4 Mac Mini - $1,200

apple pricing is silly

those headphones are more expensive than that laptop

Only the USB 3 can connect to a monitor, the USB 2 one can only charge and will transfer data slower

would be an extremely good thing for everyone if students used actual computers with files and folders and real ass software instead of some touchscreen nonsense

it was only one person I talked to, but they worked in school IT and they were converting from chromebooks to iPads because workable chromebooks weren't cheaper than iPads and keyboards anymore. ended the conversation with "if they make a $500 macbook we'd probably use that" so huh

two usb-c ports that do different things

the only thing I find annoying about it is that the two usb-c ports do different things. there's definitely going to be people who use the wrong port for something or other

apple's first product in a decade that you can't make jokes about. it's just kinda all good ideas
