Yes, the game supports split screen local co-op on consoles and even on PC.

You can play through the first 2/3rds of the game in split screen with no trouble. However, in my experience it gets unstable in act 3 on Xbox Series X (probably also on PS5). Presumably it is something to do with the limited memory on consoles, so if your PC has great specs it should work there.

They are planning an update due next month which is supposed to address the crashing, but it remains to be seen.

I think currently the best experience on consoles is to have two copies of the game on separate consoles.

The patch 7 update also will supposedly add cross platform multiplayer, so you could have one player on console and one on PC, since you probably don't have two Xboxes, but again, it remains to be seen

And don't forget piss! The guy that discovered phosphorus did so while boiling urine in an attempt to turn it into gold

That's exactly the message I got. Probably they are blocking any prompt with Taylor Swift in it

I've found using a podcast player to listen to that sort of thing can be helpful for its trim silence feature. Removing all the pauses can greatly speed up the playback without making it sound rushed. I use AntennaPod for this

Your sweet aunt René well deck you in the fuckin' face!

Few things will get an adult to hit a kid as quickly as that kid questioning their religion. This, from people who insist "God is love"

I think I understand how it works.

Remember that LLMs are glorified auto-complete. They just spit out the most likely word that follows the previous words (literally just like how your phone keyboard suggestions work, just with a lot more computation).

They have a limit to how far back they can remember. For ChatGPT 3.5 I believe it's 24,000 tokens.

So it tries to follow instruction and spits out "poem poem poem" until all the data is just the word "poem", then it doesn't have enough memory to remember its instructions.

"Poem poem poem" is useless data so it doesn't have anything to go off of, so it just outputs words that go together.

LLMs don't record data in the same way a computer file is stored, but absent other information may "remember" that the most likely word to follow the previous word is something that it has seen before, i.e. its training data. It is somewhat surprising that it is not just junk. It seems to be real text (such as bible verses).

If I am correct then I'm surprised OpenAI didn't fix if. I would think they could make it so in the event the LLM is running out of memory it would keep the input and simply abort operation, or at least drop the beginning of its output.

What, no Debian on that list? Are you telling me that even after all these years I still haven't landed???

Huh, I can hear this meme

you aren't necessarily yet violating GPLv2, but you're removing a technical protection measure which is a violation of the DMCA.

Isn't overcoming a technical limit a violation itself? That's what made DeCSS illegal. They didn't have to prove anyone was actually copying DVDs with it, just that DeCSS could allow you to copy a DVD

TIL that term is considered a slur. I remember learning about them in anthropology class ~15 years ago and that was the term used.

So is the respectful terminology today to use whichever modern LGBTQ label is accurate, or should I use two-spirit in historical context?

I bought a used one on Amazon last week for $200

However, it turned out to be the Verizon version which can never have the OS replaced due to its locked bootloader.

I returned it and bought a 7a instead, but if this sale had been available at the time I would have saved a bundle and gone with the 6a

Harmless in the sense that they aren't dangerous, but they are capable of biting. Source: one was in my headphones a few years back and was biting my ear. I initially thought my headphones were just really itchy.

In my headphones!

shudders

I still check my headphones every time before putting them on now
