I feel like Topographic Oceans could've been way better if it was condensed by almost half its runtime. The songs have cool ideas, but no focus and they all blend together.

Hard disagree on Rush's 2112 being peek, if anything that album was the start of one of the greatest streaks in music history. They did like 4-5 excellent albums after that. Personally if I were to rank Rush albums, I'd put Farewell to Kings above 2112, maybe hemispheres too if only for La Villa Strangiatto. Not that I don't love 2112, but relative to the other albums in that streak I think it's a little tiny bit overrated
I don't even have tiktok, but I get sent clips of musicians all the time
Lmao it's not even the official website. It's fan-made? I didn't know Subway had fans, let alone fans that dedicated
Might be terminal though
Right? People need to take a little responsibility. If you want early access, expect issues. If you don't want to see issues, wait. Easy. What's the point complaining about a company providing early access or other gamers purchasing it? You don't need to make it your business, just don't buy the game yet if it bothers you.
To be fair, I think we underestimate just how brute-force our intelligence developed. We as a species have been evolving since single-celled organisms, mutation by mutation over billions of years, and then as individuals our nervous systems have been collecting data from dozens of senses (including hormone receptors) 24/7 since embryo. So before we were even born, we had some surface-level intuition for the laws of physics and the control of our bodies. The robot is essentially starting from square 1. It didn't get to practice kicking Mom in the liver for 9 months - we take it for granted, but that's a transferable skill.
Granted, this is not exactly analogous to how a neural network is trained, but I don't think it's wise to assume that there's something "magic" in us like a "soul", when the difference between biological and digital neural networks could be explained by our "richer" ways of interacting with the environment (a body with senses and mobility, rather than a token/image parser) and the need for a few more years/decades of incremental improvements to the models and hardware
I personally wouldn't consider a neutral network an algorithm, as chance is a huge factor: whether you're training or evaluating you'll never get quite the same results

It's handy when you need to make sure that someone else can access a url ok without having to sign in to the website or anything. If you can immediately see the page in incognito mode without signing in, they'll have no problem
I'm gonna try that, thanks
