It's about how hard they can squeeze before it pops. The big players can afford to open up their own shops and steam throws them a bone.

If they are organized on the social media can the police not just read that and then be there when it happens to arrest them.

Serbia and Croatia attacked Bosnia. All three parties are former yougoslavia. It's complicated.

Inconel is indeed extremely hard and thus brittle. Used for high wear and grind parts on heavy machinery, not for framing.

Kespa or Gomtv remastered/upscaled their old televised games about a year ago. Just using the upscalers that were the hype at the time.

The assignment was a shared essay? Written together? And then the prof was, oh no a free loader?

There is already 5d chess, it's been out for years on steam. It's very polished, has tutorials and puzzles. Time travel and parallel universes.

Ikea is great. They solved 90% of furniture. They never rip you off. If only more industries were solved like Ikea solved furniture.

Imagine cars or clothes or food or housing the Ikea way. Meticulously improved decade over decade. Always respecting the customer, the customer never the product. No change because of change.

Norway invested their oil winnings in a nation wide fund. The Netherlands spent their gas money on hookers and booze.

It's like saying "my server is now white", a common thing people would say roughly a hundred years ago.

One time someone asked me to paint their house, so I made a 5 square inch watercolour of it. Unfortunately this didn't protect the walls from moisture and they ended up with mold in their house.

It used to be justified and respected stance to separate the art from the artist.

At the same time, blatant copying was excepted, painters today can take Rembrandts like you wouldn't know the difference. But art fruits in a time and place.

I still think LLMs won't generate art worth anything, of course I make genai pictures of my dog with a pet bird.
