    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    In ITIL terms, no one ever refers to a live copy of data on an active server, whether its on a passive server in an Active/passive pair, or a HA set of servers in another DC where the data is being synced or changed as a "backup". A backup is something physically or logically separated from...

    Lanterns

    From another ice-cold franchise: "It's dead, Jim." Everyone in Hollywood still thinks its 2016-2019. They are still fighting the last war. For them, It's still DEI time; They still think cynical nihilism is what sells, despite flop after flop and cancellation after cancellation. "No more...

    Weight Loss Thread

    It's just counting to 10 50 times, or 30 times or whatever. So you count to 10 and then count 1, count to 10 and then count 2 count to 10 and then 3, etc all the way what the overall number is. It rolls by pretty quick, you know what I mean if you ever practice the absence of mind thing you do...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I was truly baffled reading this the first few times. I didn't get it; the meaning only impacted on the surface. Back when I worked out with friends regularly, we had to talk to each other and BS to kill time in the gym. As a teen we would spend 2.5 hours doing a 1.5 hour workout. Once I...

    Weight Loss Thread

    I was also swimming 1500m a day, lifting 5 days a week and 35-45 min of crossfit/stairmaster. It wasn't pause at the top one-one thousand slow descent until my pecs were fully stretched and then slow push to the top again. When I started getting in shape I started with 3x50, then went to...

    Our Strength and Condition coach in college (late 80s early 90s) was huge into limiting workouts to 60-75 min. He was a former SEAL and big into the science of training and told us that after 75 min have burned all the glycogen you've stored in your muscles. He was big on trying to nearly kill...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Trying to TLDR this from its original narrative form but it's still a lot: I wrote a really long post explaining my medical history, (I'm a 34-year T1D) my relationship with weight, exercise, and fitness (I've lifted since I was 13, played football in hs/college), I've been fit and fat, gained...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Raxx has a Angelic Hammerdin build that I switched to from a Shield of Retribution Paladin build that I prefer; he's just signed some deal with Mobalytics so all of his stuff with be over there now but he has multiple videos on it, Leveling vs. Endgame. I'm digging it, just hit Torment 1 and...

    Path of Exile 2

    It's the gaming/movie/music tradition of the decade.

    Saros

    I was super excited to play this because it was like the Dark Souls->Elden Ring of Returnal. I generally hate Rogue-likes but love the look of these games; First the DRM thing and now this story BS. People are coping SO HARD on X dot com about it: "That's fake; that's not the story. THAT'S...

    Saros

    Welp, in addition to the Sony DRM kerfuffle, then there's this: Spoilers for the game's apparently super woke story: It's all over the X dot com Now, between the Dev and the rumors, I played Avowed and it was nothing like what was being said about. I am sure you could play this and probably...

    Xbox Megathread

    They still haven't made a formal annoucement in this regard, only done damage control through journalists. Why haven't they come out with kind of official statement? I think they are trying to let people down slowly and who knows what they will come back with later.

    Saros

    That's what they have said in interviews but not what the language of the policy said explicitly. It was painting it that way initially because that was how the black letter of the policy read; no one was misreading it. They still haven't corrected that language, only when asked by various...
