For all practical purposes, PRNGs are uncertain. True quantum randomness really only matters for cryptographic security, it’s not important here.

From a theoretical perspective, it is entirely possible for code to simulate the activity of a human brain by simulating every neuron. And there would be deep philosophical questions to ask about the nature of thought and consciousness, is an electronic brain truly any different from a flesh one?

From a practical perspective, current technology simply isn’t there yet. But it’s hard to even describe the gap between how a LLM operates and how we operate, because our understandings of both LLMs and ourselves are honestly both very poor. Hard to say more than just… no, they’re not alike. At least not yet.

True randomness can be done via specialized hardware. But I don’t think that’s a meaningful criteria to evaluate LLMs by in the first place here.

When I was in high school, I convinced my parents to sign me up for Japanese classes on the weekend because the sequel to my favorite game didn’t get translated. Didn’t end up getting all that far in it, my ADHD/autistic ass had a hard time paying attention in class and I had too much actual schoolwork to keep up with so I kinda just didn’t do the homework.

But last year I started getting back into it just for fun, and I am having a lot of fun learning. Helps that I can go at my own pace without any pressure from being in school anymore. Still a long way from 日本語上手, but I passed a N4 mock exam and I just ordered a shipment of books and manga to try and see how far I can get. Saving up to travel in a few years too.

Honestly that’s a good enough idea that I don’t think it even needs to be a conspiracy, they could openly advertise it.

Release the original theatrical cuts.

Fighting games. There’s a reason the FGC still puts so much emphasis on offline play. Go to your locals, go to majors, don’t just sit there playing ranked at home!

The term antihero gets misused a lot, but villain protagonist is absolutely not correct either. An antihero does not have to be the protagonist, and a protagonist who is a villain is still a villain, not an antihero.

Nudity isn’t always pornographic or sexual depending on the context. But in this context it absolutely is. The Sun put tits there to sexually arouse readers, that was the point.

A Silent Voice. I watched it while I was going through a rough time, and the visual metaphor used to portray the main character’s isolation hit me so hard.

Flight, hotel room, and entry fee to a major tournament. If you’re splitting hotel costs maybe that’ll cover 2-3 trips, and enough left over for a good fightstick.

OP, you’ve done a fantastic job demonstrating exactly why some people might want spaces where they don’t have to deal with the likes of you.

I got to see him live for the first time last year, absolutely incredible show.

Right monitor is 16:9 and VRR, left is a 16:10 monitor my work gave me during covid. So games go on the right.

Bear in mind that ActivityPub is so much more than just Lemmy. Mbin and Piefed both exist as alternatives.

A worthy opponent for all of my favorite niche games that I’ll never convince my IRL friends to play.

The only way it’ll ever come is if the userbase grows.

People who complain this loudly about mods tend to be living proof of why mods are important.

Funny, because I still say the sequels aren’t as bad as the prequels.

Because they’re professionals in unrelated fields. Understanding AI was never part of their job description, this strange and confusing technology snuck up on everyone and most people don’t really know what’s going on, they were never ready for this.
