  • I bought a ThinkPad new in 2014 for my study for like 1200 euro’s. She’s still happily purring today. Around 2019 I made the mistake of emptying a cup of tea into the ThinkPad accidentally and then holding it upside down to get the water out. I think I should’ve just let it leak out of the bottom since the laptop has holes for that, but I panicked. This broke the keyboard, but not the rest of the laptop. I got an official new keyboard for like 100 euro’s which came with a tool and the simple instructions, and since then everything has been working flawlessly.

    So I recommend ThinkPads, although I can’t really say anything about compatibility of new models

    I was beginning to think that I could go this day without any “joke” or remark that would exclude me from the group “men” because I’m not into women, but here it is. I was almost getting worried that it took so long today :/





  • I kinda agree, but also want to offer a different perspective. I agree that the more specific labels are not efficient for communication in most cases, because nobody knows all of them and it’s easier to just say who you find attractive.

    However, they can still be useful to discover more about yourself. As someone who’s aromantic and asexual I’ve found that many of the labels in the community caused me to ask myself the question “how do I feel about this”. Before finding “my” labels I just kinda felt like “nope” about anything related to relationships, but all the more specific labels and spectra have made it much more clear to me what I want and what I don’t want. They also provide a way for people to find others with the same experiences as them, which can feel incredibly validating.

    These specific labels are a jargon for queer people, they make sense in their context, but are not useful when trying to communicate with most people from outside of the community.


  • I’m not a hundred percent sure, but afaik it has to do with how random the output of the GPT model will be. At 0 it will always pick the most probable next continuation of a piece of text according to its own prediction. The higher the temperature, the more chance there is for less probable outputs to get picked. So it’s most likely to pick 42, but as the temperature increases you see the chance of (according to the model) less likely numbers increase.

    This is how temperature works in the softmax function, which is often used in deep learning.





  • I guess it’s a matter of priorities. Some experts will deal a lot with air quality in their field, so they go kinda tunnel vision on that. And others (like firefighters) will be very focused on the fire safety aspect so to them that seems most important.

    Personally I usually close all doors for fire safety except for my bedroom door because the air quality improvement is just too large. I can open a window, but it usually blows open further due to the wind. Then it becomes too noisy and cold. So I tend to keep it closed when it’s cold outside.

    It’s hard to say what I’d recommend for a 1 player run because I didn’t really do those. I think I’d go for a solid “base” class like a warrior, barbarian, wizard, or something. Ultimately it’ll always be difficult though. Maybe something ranged like wizard, arcanist, or tinkerer is actually easier when playing solo because you can stay out the range of most enemies. But when they get close, you’ll probably get killed because there’s no-one to protect you.

    Ultimately, if I were you, I’d just play whatever I want. Dying is extremely common in this game, so just accept that, have fun, and get better.


  • Imo it’s more the other way around, but that’s not necessarily bad. Arch (and Linux in general) gives you a lot more control, while windows tries to block the user from touching the internals. In my experience Arch breaks more often though, but when it breaks I can usually fix it. In Windows things usually work, but when they don’t work you might be kinda screwed because the internals aren’t that easy to reach.

    Yeah I only played with friends. Alone it seems even harder because it becomes permadeath. With friends you can at least continue as long as one player makes it. Any favorite playstyles? Personally I like being arcanist and then trying to pick up tinkering at some point to get a cute helicopter buddy, or starting as tinkerer but also doing some magic. Basically (cross)bow + magic + tinkering.
