I came back for Dragonflight and was really pleased with how the game had changed after I dropped it in Shadowlands. I played for 8 months, mostly healing PUG M+ up to +20 but put it on the backburner when the latest expansion to my other favourite MMO, Guild Wars 2, came out. Sadly, there's only really enough time to play one MMO at a time, and GW2 has a long-term goal that I'm trying to reach right now that is a little more appealing than another season of M+. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Worldsoul Saga brings as well as catching up on the latest questlines when I do come back, though.

How the fuck does a chat program justify a workforce of one thousand employees in the first place?! How do they expect to ever get in the green when they're spending that much money on staff?

Is their entire business model to just endlessly pull in V.C. money and "grow" until they can't get investors on board anymore? Actually, don't answer that one, I assume that's how almost every tech company works these days, and at some point it's all going to crash.

Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again...

Nah, the final arc is huge, far too long for even a 2 cour season, and there's still a mini arc before that to tie up a loose end from season 3. Plus, I doubt they've storyboarded any of the unreleased chapters yet. At a guess I'd expect this to be 13 eps, then a couple more years wait, then a 2-cour season and finally a tie-in movie to finish. That being said we still don't know how many chapters remain so it could go on longer than that.

I think it's because they changed the story a little from the source material to more neatly fit it into the format they needed for Season 1. To some people familiar with the source material, that's heresy and absolutely destroyed the story. As a fellow anime-only, however, I felt the story was perfectly fine as it was told and I'm looking forward to seeing where they take it next season.

After all, it's not like they pulled a God of High School on us.

That's great. Now try training that model on a 4080 and you'll see it'll take significantly longer. Try amassing the data needed for training on your home PC and see how much longer beyond that which you'll need. There's a reason the current race is down to just a few companies, it costs pennies to run queries on an existing model, millions to build and train that model in the first place.

That, from the perspective of Taiwan (aka the Republic of China) mainland China (aka People's Republic of China) to it's west is an illegitimate government that lays claim to lands still claimed by the RoC from before the revolution.

Ah, there it is. Say it louder for those at 99 IQ in the back that you're lumping in with this guy. That is, if you think they're even smart enough to be able to understand you in the first place.

And it wasn't a question you posed at all- it was a generalised statement that you consider half the population to be "dumb", which, in a roundabout way, is where I've been going with this.

Edit: I see Lemmy is exactly the same as Reddit - full of so-called intellectuals that think of themselves as better then the average person, and that intellect is the sole barometer of usefulness in society. Keep downvoting me while thinking yourselves superior, fucking cowards.

You're the one that brought up IQ in the first place, you can't blame me for engaging on that.

It's hard to detect a joke when it doesn't exist in the first place.

Approximately half the people in the world have an IQ in the double digit range. IQ literally has its mean at 100 for a given population. I don't think I understand what you're getting at there.

'List' is the correct abstract term for any data structure that holds a given number of values in an order, regardless of the implementation. So Python's List, or C++'s Array or Vector, or a Linked List are all considered lists in the abstract sense.
