I have been job hunting for a while and I have felt a great disadvantage in my job search due to my lack of access to high-quality LLMs. Writing cover letters is honestly so bullshit.

Has job hunting gotten so bad that it’s just LLMs reading the output of other LLMs?

I’ve been eyeing Yuzu to play games like Pokemon Scarlet and Xenoblade 3 since they both run like shit on the switch and a smooth 60 fps at 4k on Yuzu.

I bought both games at release, I just can’t stand playing at 20 fps.

Welp, guess I’m downloading a copy of yuzu just in case.

When will people learn that the safest place to develop a Nintendo emulator is Pyongyang?

I kinda see what Season 1 was trying to do. The only thing Season 2 tried to do was save production budget.

Season 3 is the worst season of Star Strek, but the best Season of Picard. Picard seasons 1 and 2 were like entirely different shows winking at Star Trek.

In my region YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music and is a dollar or two more than paying for Spotify Premium. I cancelled my Spotify sub and went over to YouTube. Seems like any okay deal to me.

If you ever notice, all apps developed in china are similar. Ads at start, invasive tracking using dummy images dropped in /pictures, unnecessary permissions like phone and IMEI, and so on. They literally don’t have a way to compare to something else. There’s the Baidu SDK, Tencent SDK, aliyun SDK and they are using bad coding practices because they’re doing that in isolation

What kind of shitty apps are you installing? Some of the most popular mobile games in the world are Chinese (Genshin, Honkai, Azurlane, Ark Knights, etc) and none of them do any of this shit.

I went to China recently with a buddy and I loaded a ton of China specific apps onto our phones. Mine was a Samsung and his was an iPhone. Between WeChat, Alipay, Taobao, Amap, DiDi, Dianping, the China Customs Service app and a bunch of other store and region specific apps, literally none of them did anything you described. I also bought a Xiaomi phone in China and migrated all my data over, so I can confirm that these apps don’t do anything like that even on a Chinese phone (which, btw, is way more strict with permissions than my Samsung, down to telling me each and every time google maps requested my location).

In addition to that, I have a bunch of apps for stuff from Chinese companies on my phone like Mijia, Fiio, Huawei, Moondrop, etc and none of them do this shit either.

I think Equinox was a really good story about what a starfleet crew looks like if they abandon their principles in order to get home.

Deep Space 9 is the first ST show to have season long arcs peppered with self-contained episodes. Since someone else already mentioned Discovery, I think DS9 is a pretty good jumping on point for “classic” Trek.

Tilly says she went to a school named after Musk.

I firmly believe that someone had to talk the writer responsible out of making Tilly a graduate of Bit Connect High School.

As much as I think Musk is dumb and shitty, von Braun was personally aware that concentration camp slave labor was being used to make his rockets and continued anyway. According to some prisoners, he also ordered corporal punishment of slave workers and had a hand in selecting who was fit to work and who would be sent to an extermination camp. However, we can’t say for sure because of lack of documentation.

Even if we assume that the prisoner allegations are mistaken identity or whatever, I think directly being in contact with and benefiting from the Nazi death machine is quite a lot worse than Elon.

I feel like they had a really good opportunity to foreshadow Lorca being from where he is by making him say Von Braun instead of Musk.

It’d be one of those “of course this guy thought an SS officer was a good guy!” Moments

Mirror Musk is our Gabriel Bell.

Okay but let’s not do the part where a military tribunal has the power to decide if a being sentient enough to hold senior officer rank is also property that can be disassembled for science.
