There is no rule that the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees. It only holds true in Euclidean geometry, which this is not.

That’s disappointing. I was quite enjoying it.

“Washington” seems quite convinced of an imminent WWIII, and I’m guessing they intend to spend a lot of time in Asia.

People are upset at the lack of an episode 9 and 10 to finish the season, and while upset, one is more like to pick up on everything and anything else that could be interpreted as bad. Then one wants to find validation online. So the internet is rife with people upset at the series, picking it apart and complaining about all the details that can be complained about - things that few would have complained about had there been an episode 9 and 10 to resolve at least some of the now highly pressurised cliffhangers.

Edging is fun until you realise you’re actually not getting any.

I liked the season and enjoyed every episode, except in some sense the finale. It was good TV, but I felt stressed for most of its duration because they kept drawing it out and I couldn’t imagine how they would manage to resolve all the built-up tension in the time left. When there was about 10 minutes left I began to realise that all these things they were talking about on the screen were unlikely to materialise, but thought that maybe they’d focus it all on a spectacular scene in King’s Landing. All hope left me when it was down to 5.

I want to complain about how they spent their screen time, but I’d rather there were simply 2 more episodes because I enjoy the pace. Maybe they could have cut the mud fight.

Do you think them helpless peasants that require the intervention of big brother USA whenever there is trouble?

Even if Maduro’s government is using undemocratic means to maintain power, who the fuck are the US and EU to take stances on and decide what Venezuela needs?

Let the people of Venezuela decide for themselves. Fuck’s sake.

It may be of critical importance in some games that, no matter how low the framerate is, the player never misses an event due to skipped frames.

There are also games that are not real time even in their animations, and so there may be no benefit to skipping frames rather than just letting it run at whatever framerate. Slowed tick rate mostly feels weird if one has certain expectations for the passage of time.

Once. They do not have the ability to learn or adapt on their own. They are created by humans through “deep learning”, but that is fundamentally different from continuously learning based on one’s own actions and experiences.

We are prediction machines, but nothing like chatgpt. Current AI has no ability to learn, adapt, or even consider the future.

Our jackdaw regular will tear up things around it and throw them around when it gets frustrated (such as when it wants a treat without having to put in any effort).

It could simply be bold and really frustrated.

Obligatory sinophobia. Every thread.

Well I upvoted the post so that people will see the comments!

You managed to get your money back?! How?

I think that’s an american thing. Besides, that money is long gone since I made the purchase several years ago.

I asked for a refund when they kept delaying shipment of my Librem 5. I was simply denied and that was it. They told me I could still choose to receive the phone, but I don’t want it since it’s a bad, practically useless product now.

I reported them in my country for it.

If it is dry due to climate change I don’t see how there is an eco-system built around the drought worth preserving.

Have a pair of MX4s too. I haven’t experienced any other kind of NC headphones so nothing to compare to, but the voice is seriously annoying. What I often do is interrupt it by tapping the side to play/pause media twice.

While they work OotB without the app, there is a bunch of functionality and tweaks locked behind the official app, such as EQ, wind-reduction, and voice-passthru.

I reply to people on lemmy on a case-by-case basis. I decide how to eat food on a case-by-case basis. But if you give me a deck of cards and tell me to shuffle them, I generally do not decide how to shuffle on a case-by-case basis; it doesn’t matter whose cards they are.

That’s not what case-by-case means. Wiktionary:

Separate and distinct from others of the same kind; treated individually.

Case-by-case implies that each treatment is different and is not generalisable; but the fact that they use a patient’s own tissue does not make each individual treatment different. If you want to extend the logic, you might call vaccination a case-by-case treatment as well, since they use different needles for each person.

it was done on a case-by-case basis. Each person has their own therapy tailored for them. This does not appear to be a mass-solution.

I’m not sure what you are expecting for something to be considered a cure? What they are describing is a treatment procedure which uses the patient’s own tissue. How does that make it case-by-case?
