  • This comic is likely a decade old at this point, most average people would have just used AI.

    And yes, vintage gaming is very much a thing, and is pushing vintage hardware into nosebleed territory. Ten years ago you couldn’t give away a 36″ Sony Trinitron CRT TV. These days you have gamers offering up to $500 for it just to be able to play Duck Hunt (which requires a CRT TV in order for the guns to work). Same goes for the machines and consoles as well… just saw a Commodore Vic-20 on FB Marketplace for $200CAD, and that was just for the bare unit, no extras.



  • That may improve things, but doesn’t the stock of the gun still have to be against the shoulder? That’s where most of the problems occur. My heart is wobbling my torso, not my hands or arms.

    I mean, I can keep my arms and hands totally still, but when I lean into the weapon, it’s my shouder that transmits my heartbeat’s wobbling of my torso into the weapon. Without stopping my heart entirely - something I hope you can understand that I am loathe to do - I don’t really see a solution.












  • My problem with hunting comes down to remaining motionless when taking the shot.

    I have gotten so in-tune with my body that, when at rest, my heart subtly wobbles my entire torso. This is to the point where I can calculate my own heart rate by just sitting still and feeling how my body moves/pulsates.

    So aiming becomes problematic when my sights start to undulate in tune with my heartbeat.

    I mean, I am usually a half-decent shot once I’ve gotten familiar with the firearm. I’m not going to be doing consistent bulls-eyes at 200m except as a complete fluke, but at the same time I am going to be putting a hole somewhere in the paper, usually within the circle.

    But that bouncing, it’s hella enraging when success depends on stability and not moving. And I’m not going to take that kind of a risk on a live animal. If I cannot be reasonably assured of a clean kill, I would rather be doing something else.

    the child unblocked them long enough to pimp slap them with a text

    That’s still no excuse for failing to use grammatically correct full sentences and employing vast herds of emoji whose subtext are confusing and tenuous at best.

    Like holy hell, that’s a WoT that is exhausting to look at, much less decipher.

    If you’re gonna pimp slap a conservative, most will need to be spoon-fed content at a 5th grade level or less, you’re not going to get through to them with the sophistication that typical mid-leftist content has. It’s just too advanced for them, even when broken down and written simply in short sentences.



  • no confidential client information is to be sent to any cloud AI service

    If the code has been crafted correctly, none should be.

    Client info should be 100% data, and remain 100% in production. If you have any dev-side data to test and debug with, it should be 100% procedurally-generated pseudo-data that only imitates client data in terms of gross patterns, and not specific points of data.

    Like customer names. Those names should be broadly representative of what is found in the regions the software operates in, in order to demonstrate acceptable data input validation and effective storage compatibility with those names. For example, you don’t want to be storing European names in a DB field that is not UTF-8 compliant, or validating those names by restricting characters to US-ASCII. But any one generated name that just so happens to match an IRL name should be a statistical occurance, and any extended data attached to that entry should (generally) not match any other IRL data for any IRL occurance of that name…
