  • I kinda get that vibe too. But without knowing more about him, I imagine what I perceive might also just be someone who's very confident in themselves who doesn't necessarily care very much what others think about him. Which, Linus has built his own company from the ground up, and it has made him very wealthy, so, he has some legitimate reason for that confidence, in his competence and his f you money. I suppose that might also co-occur with easily overlooking other people's problems, or being narcissistic though. Which is bad for a boss (e.g. Elon). Still, hard to just summarily judge without more information

  • Went on my first cruise just recently with my wife and two of my good college friends. We were interested cause we live in a city with a large cruise industry and I was very curious about it. I went into it with low-ish expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the buffet food (better than my university's cafeteria, which is what I was expecting) but slightly disappointed overall with the fine dining entrees, though the desserts were good. I only had like 2 alcoholic drinks on the boat the whole week, which I believe is atypical (friend of mine said the drinks package is totally worth it, but I can't imagine drinking >4 alcoholic servings a day for a week straight, which is probably what you need to do for it to even out). Sea days were cool, I enjoyed the shows generally more than I expected, and the laid back atmosphere was cool. Excursion days were also cool, but not mind blowing. Had the most fun snorkeling (although it took me five minutes to figure out how to not freak out from breathing underwater but only through my mouth, that was weird). Didn't really feel like going to a foreign country, like it does when you take a trip to Europe. I think the main perk for me was that I didn't have to cook any of my own food or clean any of my dishes for a whole week. I would go again, like some other people have said I think an Alaskan or Arctic cruise would be cool. We had an interior stateroom and booked it due to a very cheap rate 8-9 months in advance

  • I wonder if it isn't a symptom of things going from high competition environment between new internet services and older stuff like cable to more established systems of revenue which don't have as much incentive to compete for workers or market share. So maybe that's the end result of approaching monopoly.

  • I went to Colorado Springs a little while ago and had to do a double take when I saw that a gas station was advertising that as its name. Absolutely blew my mind when I realized it is a huge chain there.

  • I think this is mainly an XCOM 2 problem. I sunk a lot of hours into XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and the Enemy Within expansion just makes it even better. In my experience, XCOM 2 is just brutally hard, and much less fun for it. And the War of the Chosen expansion honestly made it even worse in terms of difficulty. The XCOM 2 difficulty curve was just really bad for some reason. Don't know why Firaxis didn't make a difficulty level that wasn't baby difficulty but also wasn't trying to relentlessly kick you in the teeth

  • That's interesting. I haven't tried its reasoning skills. I did try playing Jeopardy! with it though, and it showed a lot of improvement from previous attempts. Usually chatbots are very bad at Jeopardy, telling you just about any answer is correct, but Claude 2 did really well, explaining why I was wrong several times. I did ask it to provide an explanation about whether my answers were right or wrong in the initial prompt, so that might've made a difference though.
