Princess Mononoke just has a slow gradual buildup. It builds the world and plays with plot tension and progression in interesting ways. Then saves the climax for the end of the film, with an after scene that gives a sense of finality.
It's easily one of my favourite films for these reasons.
Statins are dangerous... they block cholesterol, which incidentally, is fundamental, crucial, even, to the formation of both cell membranes and innumerable important hormones.
> If you want really long battery life and no heat at all, you can downclock all the way to something like 200-400MHz. A recent CPU at that speed is actually quite usable for things like text editing and reading documentation.
Linux does grant the user that flexibility, so if someone actually wants that, they can have it.
The max non-boost frequency is usually the sweet spot for performance and efficiency.
> On the other hand, if it's plugged in much of the time, then let it boost as much as it can, with speed only thermally limited. Otherwise you're not getting the true performance you paid for.
If the user wants to live with a potentially reduced laptop lifespan, sure thing. But it's just not worth it for a laptop, frankly, given their limited thermal cooling capacities. That CPU will degrade over time when run at that level of heat.
> It’s hard to be sure that anything has understanding beyond being able to be emit finely tuned responses though. It’s entirely plausible that humans differ from chatGPT only in that:
This is a non-response.
Unlike an algorithm, humans have the faculties of creativity, intelligence and sentience. Furthermore, we have the crucial traits of self-awareness and being able to have experiences. We humans do many, many things that cannot be reduced down to algorithmic or computable steps.
> Not sure about all its filters being RL. Sometimes it seems to flag its output as inappropriate because of a single word (or none at all). Also it has asymmetric behavior, e.g. it will make a joke about men but refuse to make one about women
Probably because in today's age, making jokes about men is a-okay, but making jokes against women might be perceived as misogynist. Potential misandry is okay, by comparison.
> I think it's inevitable given the geopolitical situation in Taiwan that someone eats TSMC's lunch on America's dollar. China will almost certainly invade in the next decade, and getting large volumes of delicate electronics in and out of ports that are subject to a Chinese navy blockade will be very difficult (not to mention the difficulty in manufacturing them amid explosions). The CHIPS act is a big part of preparing for this.
Isn't this why TSMC is creating another foundry in the US, so they can circumvent these issues with China somewhat?
Overall, I get the feeling that women have far more confidence issues than men do, sadly.
Women aren't being systematically oppressed ~ but confidence issues might lead them to believe that they are, even if they can't identify any actual causes.
The real systematic issue seems to me to be that women aren't getting help in the confidence apartment, hence they can't easily stay standing in the face of something that may well crush one's self-confidence.
And there may be many, many things in workplace, not just interviews, that can feel defeating... interviewers are there to filter out those who can't handle the strain of the job, those who don't have the qualifications, etc. And even if that's overcome, then the job itself may overtime wear one down.
Burnout and imposter syndrome aren't nice to run into... :/
My Linux distro has never slowed down for me, except where I've personally done some weird config muckup. And I know exactly who is to blame... insert "of course I know him, he's me" meme here...
Linux file managers manage to be nice and snappy. On my machine, KDE's Dolphin, on an NVME, takes, maybe, 4 seconds to open and scan a folder that has more than 9000 folders and files.
What's Windows' problem? It has no excuse. Maybe, just maybe, the Windows Explorer, plus the stack it runs on, is utter garbage.
It's easily one of my favourite films for these reasons.
