If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.

Adding to this: please TELL ME if I share something that is genAI and you know it is. I want to know this information.

me: I found your pillow!

pip: thank you! you’re the best.

me: it did take me a long time to find it again…

pip: you’re not the best because you found it. you’re the best because you kept looking. whether or not you found it isn’t up to you; it’s the fact that you tried.

me: you’re like reverse yoda

pip: I’M LIKE REVERSE YODA!!!!! THE REVERSE YODA WHO KILLS THE REAL YODA WITH HAMMERS!!!!

me: the reverse yoda and the vetinari of being nice to dogs

It's really, really good, but I think for a lot of people it was so subtle they never realized it was happening. They got boiled like a frog. Episodes 1, 2 and 3 all have big action scenes and a central Adventure Plot to be resolved... still, every episode has a subplot where deeper emotional conflicts happen during the adventure.

However, this structure instantly falls apart by episode 4, when Caine takes a suggestion and has them work in a fast food place. That episode has no action scene, no "adventure plot" to solve, they just have to work a job for a whole day. The entire episode is just character drama. Then by episode 5 the structure is just gone. The lightning round format means none of the adventures even have time for a plot, it's just scenario, scenario, scenario, one after the other, and it becomes clear that the real point is the character drama, the history of these people, their traumas, the way they interact.

Episodes 6 and 7 (haha) are the last dying gasps of the adventure format. Episode 6 doesn't have an adventure plot beyond "shoot eachother" because Caine literally doesn't care anymore, and so the episode is really all about exploring the tenuous burgeoning friendship between Jax and Pomni, again focusing almost exclusively on character drama. And episode 7 is the calm before the storm, the characters trying one last time to get out of the circus, the show's last attempt to be formatted like a normal story that adheres to narrative convention, only for the complexity of Pomni and Jax's characters to deny Caine the narrative format he wanted.

The Last Act is not an action movie. I understand why they included episode 8 with it, because 8 and 9 form a pretty cohesive single two-part episode. And it is ALL character drama. The show was never about running away from monsters or going on adventures. It's about people, exploring their dysfunctions, the struggle of relating to eachother. That's all the movie is.

Don't be a boiled frog. Go in with the right expectations.

C programming pop quiz

Given the following declaration and initialization:

auto x = 'a';

what is the type of x?

x is a char

x is a short

x is an int

x is a long

x is something else

this won't compile because auto isn't a C keyword

this won't compile for some other reason

(see results)

Remaining time: 1 day 21 hours

There are two correct answers here:

Under C99, C11, and C17 (GCC/Clang flags "-std=c99", "-std=c11", or "-std=c17"), the answer is "this won't compile for some other reason".

Under C89, C95, and C23 (GCC/Clang flags "-std=c89", "-std=iso9899:199409", and "-std=c23"), the answer is int.

Why? A few reasons:

auto is, in fact, a keyword. It has been since C89, and since K&R before that, and since B before that. It is a storage-class specifier (like static or thread_local or constexpr) and means "automatic storage duration"; AKA "this variable is freed at the end of the enclosing scope", AKA "this is a stack variable". Automatic storage is the default storage class for local variables (of course), and also only valid for local variables, so prior to C23 specifying it was always redundant.

Prior to C99, variable declarations without a type were implicitly given the type int.¹ Thus, in C89 and C95, this declaration is equivalent to auto int x = 'a';

From C99 until C23, this won't compile, but only because variable declarations without a type are illegal. auto is still a legal storage specifier. The relevant GCC/Clang diagnostic is -Wimplicit-int.

In C23 this declaration becomes legal once again, because a variable declared with the auto storage specifier and without a type now performs type inference. This is equivalent to writing auto typeof('a') x = 'a';

"But wait," you might ask, "why is x an int, if its type is inferred from its initializer? Isn't 'a' a char?" Nope! That's the case in C++, but confusingly, character literals in C have the type int, and thus so does x. We would have to write auto x = (char)'a'; to declare x to be a char.

¹A remnant of this behavior persists: writing unsigned, signed, short, long, or long long is equivalent to writing unsigned int, signed int, short int, long int, or long long int.

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.

And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.

[theabigailthorn]

love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears
