are you implying that kids should eat data centers or something

people still pushing "just learn to code" in 2026, almost makes me nostalgic

you seem nice, good luck out there

> 40 kids at a time

i wonder why that is. what kind of attitude towards the value of education would allow this. grok help me out here

i am suggesting that your interpretation of what a "need" is is wildly inaccurate

one in five children in the united states lives in a food insecure household. that has more relevancy to the “need” here than whatever you’re suggesting

kind of a nonspecific complaint, but i haven’t yet had much luck with anything under ~120b, feels like models released on that order is coming to a trickle. the last few qwen models didn’t seem to go that high, and i got worse results than qwen3.5-122b

Learning and understanding is enjoying the ride.

Please ban it for me too thank you

General answer: anything that you're interested in.

You are in the middle of a large body of water. Swim towards any island that looks close. Make sure you get to an island before choosing a different one to swim to. You'll find that becoming a stronger swimmer was the main benefit of the journey.

Personally, after 10 years in the industry, I'm convinced that psychology is going to be extremely important in the coming years. (But maybe this is a budding middle-manager in me talking.)

Depending on the context, probably? During my suspension of disbelief of the narrative, it might make me say "I don't like this destruction!" and to root for whatever might be mitigating the destruction

Why make laws if everyone bad is just gonna break them?

This would make a pretty decent New Yorker cartoon premise/punchline circa 2007

I can agree with the article's framing during performance reviews and periods of heightened scrutiny. But for the day to day, frequent collective appreciation and recognition has mattered a lot to me.

"You did well on this grunge work" is a death sentence only if it's contrasted by silence. Maybe I have a blind spot here, but even if the compliment had to stand alone, does the receiver really have so little agency to not reframe or rebut any unintended consequences of the compliment?

Does frequency cheapen compliments? Maybe. Does every piece of praise need to be so weighty? I don't think so. "Please" and "thank you" might not mean much but I still like it when people are polite. So too effort can be recognized.

There are a few notable inventory improvements, but the most important is that BG3 is much less gear/stat dependent than DOS2. You don't have to sweat trading stats for each slot and character building is simpler (no skillbook type of progression beyond wizard spell scrolls, and that's optional). You'll still get engaging, difficult, beatable combat. The inventory is kludgy and there are a lot of items but it's much less important to focus on than DOS.

No lone-wolf mode made me wonder if the game would be too fiddly for me, but there are other ways to streamline combat. Champion fighters, berserker barbarians, non-arcane trickster rogues are mechanically simple subclasses that are fun to play. 5e is forgiving for party composition in a way DOS2 isn't.
