I think it’s the arm covers. Reminder to read top right to bottom left, so the final shot is the dude’s eyes

"Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power." ―Sabine Wren and Kanan Jarrus on the Darksaber, Rebels: s3e15 Trials of the Dark Saber

I’m sure there are other references, too, but for it to be a power current it needs to flow to and from a terminus. See also the Tagge Protoblade in which the energy circles around a metal core (internally referred to as the corn dog lightsaber) instead of being a sword

another note on the light Saber blade: it’s actually a long spinning loop like a narrow ‘0’ or the eye of a needle, which is why it doesn’t disconnect

if I wanted to only play half my games at twice the price for only a few years on hardware i can’t upgrade with fewer functions and content due to exclusivity, I would buy a console

well of course not, they all have sports cars etc etc

Studies suggest this is an extreme minority, and stories like yours - while yours might be true (and be fair to me here, we’re just two usernames, we don’t know each other’s motives and biases), it’s often used to push reasons to defund homeless shelters and criminalize being poor.

Even if you have seen a homeless person (or imposter) do something wrong, it might be worth considering that being homeless is very difficult and often caused by pre-existing medical conditions or institutionalized discrimination.

I saw it on Jul 4 in the cinema with some friends as something to do. it wasn’t truly awful just kinda mid.

It feels like ScarJo is trying hard to be Gal Godot, that they’re trying to muscle in on the Slutty Little Glasses for Men meme, and the MegaDinos that are genetically engineered are the least interesting parts of the movie.

It’s in favor, the characters are mildly interesting, interact well and the structure is pretty satisfying.

then don’t make single player games (or sections of games) require a server.

I wanted a cat when I was 5. My parents got me a fish instead. So, in my innocence, I named the fish “Pussy”

TIL - thanks

Is this not IPA? I thought the article said it was

as written it should be pronounced

shw-meth-quey-em-ass-em

where the shw is throaty - is it different because of the language?

a story about two well know actors one of the most popular movies in the last decade in a movie sub?

i do music and comedy, a bunch of venues, groups, bands, jams, open mics operate through whatsapp. “privacy” doesn’t really blip most of their radars tbh and I want the gigs

high performer just means you got a staff of 20 to do the job of 5 people while you sit in meetings saying “KPIs” and “MVP”

there aren’t that many, if you’re talking specifically LLMs, but ML+AI is more than LLMs.

Not a defence or indictment of either side, just people tend to confuse the terms “LLM” and “AI”

I think there could be worth in AI for identification (what insect in this, find the photo I took of the receipt for my train ticket last month, order these chemicals from lowest to highest pH…) - but LLMs are only part of that stack - the input and output - which isn’t going to make many massive breakthroughs week to week.

quarter millennium

three of the six falls into the gap between the 7 and 10, leaving 3 sticking out the top = 13.

I have no idea if this is normal or not

those who play games, and those who are LGBTQIA+ are both people

I have a great deal of job security by not being a software engineer and knowing “how to code”

they love me at my job in supply chain b2b marketing because I can build an API connector to the DoT database, and build a simple savings calculator in WordPress that connects to hubspot and Salesforce, or I can parse 20 csvs and exclude all duplicates in python…

all low level stuff but if you don’t know what a variable even is it seems like magic
