If you want to beat all of your friends at chess:

learn how to mate in endgames with a few different combinations of pieces.

Castle early and on the same side of your opponent.

Learn to defend scholars mate.

Focus on piece development early on, get you back rank pieces out (bishops knights)

Fight for the center

When attacking a square, just count how many other pieces are attacking and defending that square and see if you have more than your opponent, this is a great way to quickly analyze an attacks value.

Trade when you have a piece advantage, this is like taking a math question and simplyifing the terms. It greatly simplifies the game and brings it in to the the end game with an advantage.

Learn any one opening system just a few branches that can consistently bring you into tactics (static analysis of the board state) even or with a slight advantage.

These tips can be accomplished in a week and will dominate anyone who ‘just knows the rules’

Hopefully the TVs don’t won’t require that connection to operate.

Millennials are Gen Y

Or they are used because of the ability to be bypassed, e.g. japanese porn censorship

What was stupid, really.

Maybe I just didn’t phrase something exactly how you wanted but the conversation was basically.

‘i think ai can do a good job at subtitles’

‘no it can’t, because translations are nuanced’

‘i meant subtitles in the context of captions, not translations’

I think it’s a fair misunderstanding and I felt that I did a fine enough job clarifying when it was presented, but I guess not.

I mean sure, whatever.

I meant subtitles and I stand by subtitles. But I’ll be sure in the future to say ‘open captions of the language in the audio stream’ so that you don’t get offended.

Understand that it didn’t need to be an argument and there wasn’t really much of a reason to be defensive.

I stated something, it got muddied in the context, I clarified within the context of the conversation, and now you are mad. Contextually I would have been wrong before it was very much clarified.

If your point is about translations, I never made a claim about them, I don’t have an opinion one way or the other. I also think it’s helpful to understand the community you are in, which is not an anime focused one.

Additionally I often watch anime with English dubs and subtitles, is that not an equally valid scenario? I understand that colloquially the term can be used to mean translation, but the conversation is broader than niche insider discussion.

And finally, I really think I made myself very clear after an initial confusion, so I don’t really even get what’s happening here.

Edit: also, the conversational word is pretty firmly ‘subs’. I would say specifying the whole word actually indicates that it isn’t the colloquial usage, but I get that that doesn’t really matter.

Translation or subtitles?

Maybe I should have been hyper specific and say open captions.

But that is a localization / translation, not a subtitle.

Translating between languages is different than open captions for a given audio stream.

Ai actually does pretty decent on subtitles, there isn’t a lot of wiggle room and you don’t need need as much creativity.

Where it shines is in first drafts though, it’s much faster to proofread and correct, than to type it out to begin with.

Also, it’s not like the paperwork isn’t important.

Take it a step further and declaratively configure your entire installation with nixos

A base model steam deck is $50 cheaper than this, a base model Xbox series s is $150 dollars cheaper, and it’s the same price as a PS5 slim.

It’s pretty common for wealthy people to trade in their car every year or two, keeping in mind that a cyber truck is 80k+ the demographic is people who can afford to always have a new car.

Having to make a ton of insurance claims is not a good thing.

Eventually you become uninsurable, which is a lot harder to overcome than a sales slump.

Not really.

I’m a big signal proponent, but it’s very barebones. There is a half ass story implementation, but otherwise, it’s a pretty lean messaging application with voice and video and that’s pretty much it.

Signal doesn’t really have a mechanism for following accounts the way you can on telegram and WhatsApp, and while it supports group chats, it’s more akin to an old school group text rather than a channel like on telegram or Whatsapp.

Depends on how you define security.

Is win11 more cryptographically secure, absolutely.

Does that matter if you don’t trust the holder of the keys (the Microsoft keys stored in the tpm) not really.

implementing a more secure platform doesn’t mean much if the only way you are doing it is by handing over control to a third party.

Would you trust a better lock on your front door if it meant a proven bad actor was the one who could unlock it?

Half of people might do something when presented with a hypothetical, how many of those would translate into actual action when the time comes?

I completely disagree.

For example, you are using the hand brake as an example. 95 percent of people (including you, evidently) don’t even understand that the handbrake is not an emergency brake, they don’t get how the behavior works, or the fact that it’s meant to be used as a parking breaks, I consistently see people slam their parking pawls verytime they get out of their car. (Not to mention that it doesn’t even work while you are driving on most modern cars and has no modulation, as it’s just a button)

If not being an idiot was good enough to drive a car, then it wouldn’t be so deadly. It’s also possible to fly a plane with common sense, but you wouldn’t be happy if your pilot told you they don’t have training.

Driving isn’t easy, it’s just that we accept an absolutely catastrophic amount of accidents as a cost of doing business.

I find the scariest people on the road to be the arrogant ones that think they make no mistakes.

I don’t particularly care about what your position is, was just commenting on your debate technique.
