We really need to get the ball rolling on us landing an apartment before we're rounded up for the homeless camps.
However, our rental history the past two years have not been ideal. I don't suppose there's anyone local to Utah that would be willing to be a.. shall we say, "creative" rental reference for us to explain the past two years since we had to give up our apartment and start down this long, winding road of poverty?

Honestly If a billion dollars suddenly landed in my bank account no strings attached my new full time job would be giving it away for the greatest possible benefit of mankind. Full stop, period.

"For us human beings, using language is not a skill like any other — it is the way we do almost anything at all. Philosophers have disputed whether beings could exist that could think despite lacking language, but it is clear that humans cannot do so. We grasp the very contours of our world in and through language. But we are not born with a language. We have to acquire and develop our linguistic capacities through immersive practice with other human beings. For hundreds of years, in advanced societies this has meant cultivating an intimate familiarity with human writing.
Many people invoke a distinction between illicit uses of A.I. (such as the composition of entire drafts) and innocent auxiliary functions — outlining, for instance. But it is these seemingly benign functions that are the most pernicious for developing minds. Take the summary: Letting A.I. take over this rote task seems like a harmless shortcut. Sure, students who read only A.I. summaries will be subjected to predictable analysis and homogeneous prose, but they could save time and energy. In truth, the ability to determine what is being argued for and how is not dispensable. No aspect of cognitive understanding is perfunctory.
Without the chance to develop these capacities, young people would not be able to understand a news report, medical documents and consent forms or the merit of an argument (including this one). A depleted conceptual reservoir would render our lives crude and our experience of the world undifferentiated and coarse. Worst of all, cognitive degradation threatens our claim to self-rule: It is far from obvious that the denizens of the subcognitive society would be fit to participate in the democratic processes that determine how we structure our societies and lives."

It's autumn here in the Northern hemisphere, and that means I spend a lot of time under a kotatsu (Japanese-style heated table). Kotatsu table is very, very comfortable.
If you live in a 110V-mains country, you can just order a cheap heater from Japan, any table, and build your own heated table. If you live in a 220V-mains country, you either can get a transformer, or order a heater from China (and hope that it's _really_ 220V-rated and won't catch fire), or...

"Resist the introduction of AI in our own software.
Ban AI use in the classroom.
Cease normalising the AI hype.
Fortify our academic freedom.
Sustain critical thinking on AI.
It’s with these five action points that Olivia Guest, Iris van Rooij and a bunch of colleagues conclude their open letter directed to Dutch universities and colleges. Guest and van Rooij know what they’re talking about: both work at the School of Artificial Intelligence and the Donders Centre for Cognition of Radboud University in Nijmegen.
Guest, van Rooij and their colleagues further explain their reasons for resisting in a position paper. Put simply, the technology that OpenAI and co are pushing threatens the very raison d'être of universities. The authors of the position paper oppose this and insist that “university leaders and administrators must act to help us collectively turn back the tide of garbage software”.
AI scientists advocating a ban on AI use in classrooms: it sounds like a hallucination of an AI chatbot, but the popularity of the open letter shows it’s anything but that. As of today (23/10), it’s been signed more than 1,400 times, including by students and non-academics."

Good news, everyone! I'm excited to announce that my partner @g1m01982 is going to a job interview in the next couple of hours. He's trying to look at it as a "test run" as he starts to tiptoe back into the wonderful world of entry-level employment so that he isn't as overwhelmed by fear of it not panning out.
It's been two years since he's been able to work. I am so proud of him for taking this big step!

Mushroom clouds over Vegas? What Trump’s nuclear weapons tests could mean for America and the world
But 10 months into his second administration, the president is commanding officials to resume nuclear weapons testing, which would end the U.S’s 33-year moratorium and invite a global arms race in a volatile political moment.
Claiming that the United States must reach parity with weapons development in China and Russia, Trump ordered the Pentagon on October 30 to “start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis,” a process that will begin “immediately,” he said.
The last confirmed nuclear test by the United States was in 1992 under then-President George H.W. Bush, who established a moratorium on all nuclear testing. China has reportedly not tested a nuclear weapon since 1996, and Russia’s most recent tests involved delivery systems, not actual detonation of a nuclear device.

the combat rank system is making me play CrossCode as if it was Devil May Cry or Ultrakill, rushing into enemies and never stopping attacking them, when in reality i could and should take it much safer since rank doesn't decay as long as you are in combat and only depends on the amount of defeated enemies...
kinda weird design, especially since the game itself references DMC in the combat rank achievements
wait are the four combat techniques just... dante's combat styles?
you have...
- melee / swordmaster
- shield / royal guard
- ranged / gunslinger
- dash / trickster

One of the interesting things about running in a club with a load of oldies is that everyone is very careful and vigilant and supportive about injuries. Because no run is worth an injury that stops you running. But inevitably they happen and it's nice to know there are people out there who genuinely empathise. Like I am with you now. By talking about myself. It's a form of empathy! I'm just messing about. I hope you're OK, old Bendy Ankles (what we all call you behind your back.... which we shouldn't because you could just bend right around on those ankles of yours, and catch us talking shit about you - sorry, I'll have a word with everyone and let them know we should stop calling you that).

Chegg slashes nearly half of its workforce as AI eats into its business

"While AI systems have saturated many existing benchmarks, we find that state-of-the-art AI agents perform near the floor on RLI. The best-performing model achieves an automation rate of only 2.5%. This demonstrates that contemporary AI systems fail to complete the vast majority of projects at a quality level that would be accepted as commissioned work.
While absolute automation rates are low, our analysis shows that models are steadily improving and that progress on these complex tasks is measurable. This provides a common basis for tracking the trajectory of AI automation, enabling stakeholders to proactively navigate its impacts."
