    Jump

    Eh, I'd rather the remake makes some changes, otherwise what's the point of just doing the same thing again. Generally speaking the closer the remake is to the original the less value it adds. Sometimes these changes work and sometimes they don't but I'd rather they take a swing. Like Psycho or Funny Games or Oldboy or anything Disney has done in the last decade are exactly like the original and feel completely pointless. Even when they're done well like the Ikiru remake Living they just feel a little hollow.

    All this being said, I think the most successful ones are where they have a completely new take from the ground up. Compare the new Planet of the Apes remakes to the 2001 Tim Burton one. The new ones go in a whole new direction and feel like they matter whereas the Burton one was a complete failure. Scarface and Oceans 11 also come to mind as successful remakes because the director got to put their on flair on the story.

    Same. I'm still primarily a Plex user for the player (it's just easier for sharing libraries with everyone) but I love the arr stuff. Just got readarr setup for audio books and audiobookshelf for the player which is really nice.

    Probably my favorite feature of the arr suite is in Radarr and list subscribing. I've got mine connected to some good letterboxd lists along with things like tmdb popular to keep my library up to date with recent stuff. Also there's some podcasts I listen to like The Rewatchables. I just subscribe to the lists of movies on letterboxd and I can easily keep up with the podcast.

    I was also a cart pusher for 3 or 4 years. It wasn't my only task most of the time I was actually in the store bagging groceries. I loved cart pickup. It meant I could walk around the store parking lot, grab some fresh air and listen to some music. It was a cool little escape from the monotonous in store work and no one was really keeping an eye on me out there so I could take a little extra time.

    I'm not weighing in on whether people should leave their carts out just adding some perspective that gathering them up wasn't like this huge added labor, quite the opposite. If I wasn't gathering carts I would've just been assigned to something much less enjoyable.

    As someone who daily drives ChatGPT for a lot of stuff, I agree. I heard someone put it this way "AI is perfect for stuff that is hard to find but easy to verify".

    The other day I took a photo of my liquor cabinet and told it to make a cocktail recipe with ingredients on hand. Or if I encounter an error on my PC I'll just describe the problem. Or for movie recommendations when I have a very specific set of conditions. Or trying to remember a show from my childhood with only a vague set of memories. The list goes on.

    Particularly for anything coding. If I'm trying to learn something I always learn best when I can just see an example of the thing in action as documentation is not always great. Or if I'm doing data manipulation and I have the input and output and just need the function to convert one to the other. I recently saved a whole afternoon of effort with that one. Or spec tests I'll just drop my whole code file in and ask it for full coverage.

    These are all things that traditional search engines are poor or incapable of. I'd have a hard time going back if they just turned all this off tomorrow.

    I think there's a lack of education around how to use AI which is actually a problem. Like you shouldn't be using it to identify if a mushroom is safe to eat. You shouldn't be using really for anything food or health related for that matter. You should ask it for its sources when you are unsure of its answers.

    Usually they don't completely flop though, they just underwhelm expectations but if they can stay active long enough with the right amount of whales and fish they can usually break even or make a small profit.

    Ok so here's the rules - I just bet on red every time - I start with 1 dollar - every time I lose, I triple my previous bet - every time I win I restart I'm going to simulate 10 games - Game 1 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 2 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 3 - Bet $9 Win $18 - Game 4 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 5 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 6 - Bet $9 Win $18 - Game 7 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 8 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 9 - Bet $9 Lose - Game 10 - Bet $18 Win $36 In this simulation I'm losing at a rate of 70%. In reality the lose rate is closer to 52%. I put in $54 but I'm walking away with $72, basically leaving the building with $18. Another example. Let's pretend I walk in with $100,000 to bet with. I lose my first 10 games and win the 11th. - 1 lose - 3 lose - 9 lose - 27 lose - 81 lose - 243 lose - 729 lose - 2187 lose - 6561 lose - 19683 lose - 59049 win $118098 $88573 spent out of pocket, $118098 won Walk out with roughly $29525. I get most casinos won't let you be that high but it's a pretty extreme example anyway, the likelyhood of losing 10/11 games on 48% odds is really unlikely. So help me out here, what am I missing?

    This feels like a common courtesy I don't see enough, particularly the second point. In a conversation circle, always try to keep your side vision open to people trying to find their way in. It can be awkward to try and find your own way in so giving them a spot tells them they're included then drop a quick brief on the conversation "We're talking about pineapples on pizza, good or bad" gives them context to jump in immediately.
