I thought AI was great at picking up context?
I don’t know why you thought that. LLMs split your question into separate words and assigns scores to those words, then looks up answers relevant to those words. It has no idea of how those words are relevant to each other. That’s why LLMs couldn’t answer how many "r"s are in “strawberry”. They assigned the word “strawberry” a lower relevancy score in that question. The word “rescue” is probably treated the same way here.

They’re also delicious. One of my favorite spring greens back in Europe. Can’t buy them in the US though.

I hate it when they do that

I play Minecraft with my kids, but I don’t use a Microsoft account for it. Just PollyMC and host my own server.

That’s how I found about Megalopolis

I found about The Wild Robot movie from a giant billboard on the side of a building at Universal Studios. Since my kids both loved the books, it caught our attention and we looked up the trailer.

It’s other awareness week, so I guess it’s working.

If you’re talking about straight lines, then yes, that’s how you define a convex shape. If any uninterrupted path can be taken, then the OP shape does satisfy the condition.
- Comment on Square! 5 weeks ago:
The it does meet the definition
- Comment on God of War Ragnarok PC port suffers review bombing on Steam due to PlayStation Network account requirement 5 weeks ago:
Review bombing is an intentional attack (e.g. someone posts a story about a shitty restaurant owner and everyone on the internet starts leaving negative reviews for that restaurant even though they’ve never been there). Just getting negative reviews organically for being bad is not review bombing.
- Comment on Square! 5 weeks ago:
That sounds like the definition for convex shape, not the general definition for a shape
- Comment on Academic writing 5 weeks ago:
I also disagree with the original comment you replied to. I was just responding to the part I quoted. I agree most specialists in a field don’t know how to explain things to non-specialists and I agree it’s important to have people who know how to explain things in layman terms, I jusy don’t think it’s relevant if those people are also the ones doing the research or not.
- Comment on Academic writing 5 weeks ago:
and that they’re not the people doing the research itself…
I don’t think that’s relevant. People like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene have also done great at explaining science to the general public.

- Comment on Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC 5 weeks ago:
Just heard the story. Apparently it cost 200m by the point they presented the alpha and it was absolute crap. So Sony put another 200m into outsourcing the work asap to fix it.

Terminator Zero was ok
- Comment on Instruments 1 month ago:
I was thinking visually. But even sound-wise I don’t think most people would hear a cello and think that’s a violin (even if they don’t know it’s a cello). But I’ve listened to a lot of Apocalyptica and 2Cellos, and I also grew up on cartoons that feature tubas frequently for comedic effect, so maybe I’m just biased.
- Comment on Instruments 1 month ago:
I think non-musicians can tell a cello from a violin and a tuba from a trumpet.

To put it simple: fine china is ceramic, but so are bricks.

Just off the top of my head, some of the bands I’ve seen live before moving to the US: Iron Maiden, Manowar, Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, Rammstein, Uriah Heep.
All the bands I’ve seen live after moving to the US: Laibach, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Both were a decade ago.

Just yesterday I was reminiscing with my wife about how TP rolls used to have no tube when we were children and how hard it was to find the center to put them on the holder.
- Comment on America Must Free Itself from the Tyranny of the Penny 1 month ago:
Adding extra for round change was not only common, but cashiers would ask for it. But that was 20 years ago, when I still used cash. The only cash I ever see now is the one I keep around to put under my kids’ pillows for their teeth.

So weird to downvote one of my favorite childhood games
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 2 months ago:
And do games use it? Epic Store does achievements too, but very few games actually integrate with it.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 2 months ago:
I buy games on Steam for the achievements. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Steam achievements, I’d have never made the switch from pirated games to buying them.

I just looked up the other day how to take care of the venus flytrap my sun insisted we buy. It said it needs poor soil, do not fertilize it, and that they get their nutrients from their prey (and should be fed if kept indoors).
