I was living with about 10k CAD/y for a few years when I was single and I was mostly fine.

Granted, this was in the 2010s. And of course I wasn't in Manhattan, as you can guess by the currency.

Now, I'm making about 70k CAD with a family (sole provider) and I'm just staying afloat.

They can produce high-quality answers now, but that's just because they wwre trained on things written by humans.

Any training on things produced by LLMs will just reproduce the same stuff, or even worse actually because it will include hallucinations.

For an AI to discover new things and truly innovate, or learn about existing products, the world, etc. it would need to do something entirely different than what LLMs are doing.

Wait what. I had been on reddit for years and I had never been aware of this. You get paid for upvotes?

And I thought "karma" was just another word for "upvotes".

I thought that was the name for mental things affecting the body?

Like wanting to pee when stressed about a presentation you're about to do.

I agree with you!

I didn't exist during the 80s.

However, I notice we got thrash metal, black metal, and death metal, all from the 80s. All dark and heavy music, with common themes of violence, often extreme, suicide, and drugs in thrash's case. Probably not without reason.

Then those criteria souldn't go under "Required" then.

"Required" has a clear definition.

Epic heavy metal! One of my favorite genres! And this is a good song.

I reread the post replacing "pelican" with "politician". I haven't laughed this much in weeks. Thank you.

Even as an adult I don't trust myself not to fuck up so whenever I do installing or partitionning, I always disconnect my drive that contains the personal files.

I think it's "4th".

He's from the UN. All he can do are words.

I have a stomach flu. My government recommends me to eat as normally as possible.

I've generally had no appetite.

And the idea of eating foods, even bland, often makes me feel nauseous.

And when I do eat, I often want to puke what I ate.

Why does my body do this if I'm supposed to fill my guts with food?

 

I'm hesitating between Vex Go and Lego Education Spike for my 7 years old son who's interested in robotics.

Vex has a good organization system which is a big plus, but Lego looks like it has more cool things you can do with it.

I wanted to compare what customers thought but I have trouble finding indormation so I'm turning to you. Anyone has had experience with these products or any other?

Thank you

 

I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

J'avais créé cette carte il y a quelques années. Elle reste encore largement utile, je l'utilise encore. À ma connaissance, Montréal n'offre pas encore de carte pour ça.

Faites profiter à votre famille de nos paraugeoires et jeux d'eau à Montréal en ce temps de canicule!

 

Je vis proche, et je le fréquente souvent. Pour ma part, je trouve ça un peu triste, parce que j'y trouve des éléments architecturaux à l'intérieur qui sont intéressants, témoins d'une autre époque, mais c'est pour le mieux, car je ne peux qu'être pour une plus grande densification, et la Place Versailles a un stationnement vraiment excessif.

 

Hey,

I'm generally more into melodeath, power metal, folk metal, and epic heavy metal. I sometimes listen to black metal, but I'm not a big fan of it. Unless it's blackened something (death, folk...)

But some black metal songs are something else for me.

Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystic Doors

This one has absolutely beautiful dungeon synth over the raw black metal, and I love it.

Winter Lantern - Elven Blood

Listen to "Her Body Broken in the Bloody Snow".

This one also has excellent dungeon synth, together with black metal. Very good songs, their only flaw, which pisses me to no end, is the unnecessary effect on the vocals.

Now that I'm typing it out, I guess that what I'm looking for are bands that put emphasis on dungeon synth, but are still metal? But how do I look for more? Is there even a genre that I can search to find more of that?

I don't know subgenres of BM well (sorry, I'm definitely not trve kvlt enough), I tried:

  • Raw BM: this sounds to be typical raw production second wave like Mayhem
  • Melodic BM: seems like pure melodic BM (without death, or punk, etc.) hardly exist. Found good bands, but not what I'm looking for
  • USBM: generally not what I'm looking for
  • Lofi BM: might be the best match? Found Nihilitic Depths - Beneath Forgotten Ruins which is quite similar, but bands described lofi BM don't always correspond

Any help is welcome. Suggestions of bands or albums welcome too. After all, there might not be a name for that.

Thanks
