For a brief moment in the beta for all this, it basically just summarized the top two or three reputable results, and attached a link to where it got the data.
They should have just left it at that, and not started mixing in random blogs and social media sites.
The ability to summarize the Wikipedia article and a random university professors page where they list every fact known to man about pine trees or something was actually helpful.
If I want the AIs best guess about how to fuck up a pizza, I just go to the site where I can ask it. Bad advice when searching is just shit.
A tldr for "what is turpentine" is actually helpful.
That’s true. He died of pancreatic cancer. Heavy alcohol use can lead to conditions such as chronic pancreatitis, which is known to increase pancreatic cancer risk. The largest associated cause of pancreatic cancer is food that is cooked until charred or blackened, which you won’t find much of at McDonald’s.
With that being said, don’t eat at McDonald’s. It’s terribly malnutritious, laden with chemical treatments, and sourced by forced prison slave labor.
A hidden path to America’s dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source – a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country’s largest maximum-security prison.
One line in and already sounds like a horrible parody of the states that we'd call too on the nose
His method wasn't specifically about eating super-size, it was just that he ate nothing but McDonald's for a month (and probably a lot of booze according to various sources).
That's true, but that only amounted to 9 meals out of 90 over the month. It wasn't really the burning issue, just a knee jerk reaction to the title of the film.
I believe a school tested it with some volunteers, someone also challenged the original movie by eating a healthy amount of calories of just McDonald's food.
Spurlock also admitted to struggling with alcoholism. While reflecting on his sobriety journey, Spurlock told ABC News he had to start with himself, adding, "I wished I'd done it 10 years ago."
I've lost quite a few people to various addictions over the years. Only 1 to drinking.
Storytime if you're curious
That one still haunts me oftentimes (though not as much as it used to) about a decade later. They were my long-term boyfriend at the time and after our mutual long-term girlfriend passed away suddenly we both fell off the wagon hard.
I made it out the other side of the path of self destruction, they didn't.
And when they passed I fell even harder into alcoholism.
My wakeup call was when my doctor asked how many drinks I had per week and when I told him he had me go through the math right there for how I calculated it. It was over 300.
I was there because of some health issues that turned out to be liver problems.
I got sober a few months later.
Sobriety can be a real bitch to maintain at first but it gets easier the longer you're sober. Especially if you utilize the new found clarity of mind to address the causes of your addiction.
Nice! I'm not even at a full year and I'm like, damn if I'd known the dry life would be so much better I would've never started drinking. Physically/mentally/emotionally/(sexually) everything has just got better. Even things like singing and dancing (which I could barely bring myself to do after a full night of boozing) are better sober.
You do have to worry about some things though. I couldn't say what those things are, but I have a hunch that temple_os users have some pretty unique worries.
On released they didn't know yet how far they can push that telemetry shit down their users' throats. I bet, 11 is better optimized for that. And eventually, it'll be Win365 OSaaS anyway...
I once won a RPS tournament with 100 people by throwing nothing but paper, and making sure to tell each opponent that’s what i was going to do. I’m convinced people think paper is somehow weaker than rock or scissors and that’s why it’s effective. That and the mind game of telling them what I’ll be throwing. But even when the others that lost to me affirmed that I wasn’t lying people thought I was lying.
If he's being honest, the correct play would be scissors.
But it's foolish to assume he's being honest, so layer 1 of dishonesty says he's trying to get them to throw scissors so he can play rock. Therefore the correct play would be paper.
But it might be a 2 layer lie, where he intends them to see the first layer and play paper to defeat that expected rock but instead play scissors to defeat their paper. Rock defeats scissors.
You can reason your way to any play in rock paper scissors based on how much deception you think your opponent is using. Add another layer and you shift the moves by one.
Hosting costs probably. Rolling back a patch is a rare scenario and Steam would have to host every version of every game in their store on their servers indefinitely.
Afaik that's actually something steam does though, tools like Depot Downloader combined with SteamDB to get the metadata for a target version totally work, I've used that in the past to downgrade Skyrim before disabling auto updates. You can do it through the steam console as well.
Because Bethesda doesn't provide the legacy versions on steam, unlike other mod focused games, afaik. Once you've updated your game, you are stuck with whatever version you have.
Sure, you can always download the right version from somewhere else, but I wouldn't count piracy + the risks coming with it as a viable excuse for their fuckup.
Steam has limited rollback support from the command line which we had to do plenty of times for Starfield when working on Luma. Sometimes updates are small. Sometimes the entire exe gets reshuffled so you have to find where to patch the exe all over again.
All the versions are apparently there. You just need to download the "depot" and it'll dump into a folder. From there you copy that folder over your game directly.
It also works the other way around. I can download the depot for the latest version and stay on the version I'm at. It's useful to pick apart and diff what was actually changed.
Why they can't add that as an option I'm not sure. That seems more of a UX/UI issue rather than a technical one (like avoiding people using old versions on the web server).
I had been wondering about that too so I looked it up and apparently it's just what discover displays whenever there's an update that doesn't change the version number which is things like rebuilds with a newer compiler. Very confusing wording, I feel like just "update of version [version]" would be less confusing
As “down”, I hereby grant maculata retroactive permission to make the above joke; and formally proclaim that I found said joke to be at least somewhat amusing
On iOS, I set my default search to DuckDuckGo, and enabled Hyperweb on the DDG domain to redirect to SearXNG. I use a Google Images bookmark saved as a favorite when I need images (SearXNG results inferior even when using Google as the sole engine).
I anecdotally suspect Kagi of astroturfing btw, but after some free trials it seems to be about the best Google alternative - gotta be [earning like] a [US-based] knowledge worker though, or really care about search.
One thing that keeps me coming back to Google is shopping, or searching for online stores, or searching for prices. The shopping tab is somewhat useful and I don't know any other search engine that does it (because it's barely a search engine thing tho)
you don't even have to go to the shopping tab anymore.. even if you're just looking for information on something they mix in shopping results right at the top
I start with !ddgi but more than half the time hit it with a !gi bang to go over to the Alphabet Adware Image search. I swear I’m gonna catalog this stuff and then maybe it’ll be apparent:
I do weird searches
Google is search bubbling me even when I’m private browsing
I'm misperceiving the frequency at which DDG image searches actually fail me
Or maybe my use cases are fairly normal and Goog really is superior, TBD!
70% of the market. Half of those computers can't even run windows 11. Good to see Microsoft taking charge in the fight against the environment by asking tens of millions of people to throw away their perfectly good computers and buy new ones
