Am vrut să mă apuc să încerc să învăț programare de ceva timp și urmărisem acest roadmap o perioadă. Știu că este mai vechi așa și PRESUPUN că ar trebui să știu și ceva programare AI. Sau este destul atât?
Mulțumesc anticipat.
I found this channel recently who talks about Half-Life/Portal lore and also makes some theories. I did like the video and the content, but I thought I should check if people think this channel gets facts right or not. I would appreciate any other suggestions for channels that like that. I’ve seen another channel called Skyrionn that does the same, but I’ve heard it is mostly reading the fan Wikipedia for Half-Life so it might be lazy content (but that’s based on what I’ve heard, so I might be wrong)
EDIT: I’ve look at some comments on one of his videos and some people think he might write the scripts with AI. Again, nothing confirmed. Just speculation.
I’m sorry if this is not the best sub to ask this, but I’ve seen people bringing up MDPI here.
Hello! So 2 weeks ago I’ve started working at MDPI as an assistant editor. Now this is just a training stage that will take 3 months, but I really feel like I am doing something wrong while working. I work for the nutrients journal and I it is hard for me to find reviewers and I think it’s harder for me than it should be. I don’t have many to compare myself with, but at least one other person who got the job at the same time as me seem to be able to finish things in time. I need to work over schedule sometimes, but that happens when I have a new manuscript to process which is very time consuming.
I’m asking this because I want to know if others can relate with this as well and find better ways to improve.
When it comes to dogs in media, they are usually useful for being able to fight, hunt, search, protect, and so on. Keep in mind that I am talking about dogs that are written (at least somewhat) realistically. Not about dogs who are hyper-intelligent or magical in a way.
But how about cats? When I try to think about cats being useful to the characters or doing intentional actions that advance the plot, I can only come up with supernatural cats: Binx (Hocus Pocus), The Cat (Coraline), Church (Pet Sematary), etc. I think a more realistic cat that was useful was Frodo (A Quiet Place: Day One) because he was a "service cat" (Maybe? Not sure if that's even possible), and he helped both main characters with their anxiety, but he also dragged them into so much danger.
Now here's my problem: is it possible to write a realistic (maybe a bit simplified) cat that INTENTIONALLY helps their owners? From what I know, they are able to sense stress and anxiety in others and realize that they need help regulating it. But I want to know if there's something more they can do.
Context: I've got a LEGO set that somehow got one of the paper bags inside glued to the box's lid. I thought it was mildly interesting, but it seems like I might have upset some people. There are like 9 downvotes in the picture, but I checked again, and it got to 12. Maybe people thought it was too redundant? I do agree that maybe most people might not find it mildly interesting, but why so many downvotes?
Salut! Am 25 de ani, am terminat în iunie masterul și acum îmi caut un loc de muncă. Am citit că pot beneficia de o primă de stabilitate dacă îmi depun actele la forțele de muncă și nu am mai avut o slujbă până acum.
Am trecut azi la sediul forțelor de muncă din Cluj-Napoca, dar mi-au spus că nu pot să îmi accepte aplicarea pentru că pe buletin am trecut orașul meu natal, care este în județul Suceava. Faza este că eu am o viză de flotant care declară că stau în Cluj și încă mai este valabilă. Am arătat asta persoanei de la registratură, dar a spus că nu se ia în calcul și că pot merge să depun numai în Suceava.
Există posibilitatea de a mă înscrie în Cluj oricum?
Mulțumesc anticipat!

Personally...
I think getting minifigure-esque versions of the characters was really awesome, and it is cool that they are compatible with System bricks. The jumping beasts (that were able to jump) were a cool toy, and I like the cocoon and the canister pieces.
I do like this gimmick of having the heroes control robots, like in Pacific Rim, although it might not make that much sense since they are already robots, so they could upgrade themselves to be bigger. I was thinking they could also upload their consciousness into the machines, but I think, due to the quaza being their "soul," that might not work like this.
As far as I know, the book describes the Turtle (I heard it is called Maturin, but that might be a movie/show thing)… as a turtle and that’s kinda all that is to be known about it. But It’s true form is what the characters can only describe as spider-like, but that’s not its true form, but rather what the characters can comprehend from what they see. Like their minds filters it as such.
Here’s what I don’t understand: It and Maturin entities that existed since before time existed. But why there’s such a difference between them when it comes to their look? Why Maturin’s form can be comprehended by humans, but It’s barely?
So, I remember seeing in a sequence in the 2021 Netflix show where Adam explains to Skeletor that, while he has the Power Sword, it only serves as a place where the power is channeled (a conduit). What actually turns Adam into He-Man is... Adam. The difference is that the sword is what "holds things together", since, without it, Adam turns into a uncontrolable savage version of He-Man.
Now, in the most recent movie, it is revealed that the movie version of Adam is the actual conduit. He doesn't really need the sword to call the power.
My question: was this detail about He-Man's powers always a thing since the '80s cartoon, or was it just something that the writers came up with in later iterations? If so, how did it work in the past (specifically in the '80s version)?
Edit: also, does this also apply to She-Ra?
I'm sorry if this has been asked multiple times. Also, I think anyone who works in any field that involves helping people.
Do you see yourself going to the lengths Mary went in the movie to help one of your patients? Especially one like Clark (knowing just what she knew about him from the therapy sessions)?
For those who don't remember, this is when Stormer's past is addressed in the show for the first time.
Zib and Makuro are talking about how Stormer started to be harsher with Furno. Now here's my nitpick: Makuro suggests that maybe he just sees potential in Furno, and Zib is the one who actually makes the connection with Von Ness' betrayal.
IDK, doesn't it make more sense to make Makuro the one who figures out the actual reason? Like, he is the one who is supposed to be the wisest.
I think it all started when I was 15-ish or even earlier? My hair started to get more rare, and I tried to fight against it. I mostly managed to just stop it from falling out, but DAMN I wish I had started sooner... Right now I use a solution that seems to make the smaller strands of hair stronger, and they might get bigger.
But recently I looked at a video where I appear (in the last image), and I hate how visible it is. I don't think anyone in my family had this problem, but it shouldn't have started this soon. Maybe it's the stress, or maybe that I am overweight? Regardless, I really hate it, and I don't want to lose even more hair. I see other boys my age still having good hair, so why am I the exception?
I mostly wrote this post for venting, but I would appreciate any advice. Maybe I should let it grow longer and then try to cover the balding spots with it.
Eu am aplicat pentru un internship organizat de Lactalis și trebuie acum să particip la un bootcamp în Alba Iulia organizat de ei. Este oarecum un fel de fază în care ei decid cine va face internshipul.
Dacă sunt persoane care au fost la bootcamp, vă rog să îmi spuneți cum a fost și ce ați făcut. Aș vrea să fac o impresie cât mai bună.
Mulțumesc anticipat!
Salut! Am absolvit la biotehnologii industriale (UBB) și recent am terminat un master în managementul calității alimentelor (USAMV). Încerc de mult timp să găsesc slujbe sau măcar un voluntariat care să ceară persoane în domeniile mele, dar nu am reușit să găsesc nimic. Cele mai multe slujbe, chiar și cele entry level, cer un an de experiență pe care nu îl am. Chiar și la Terapia care angajează absolvenți nu au răspuns.
Mă gândeam că poate caut unde nu trebuie (aplic de obicei pe LinkedIn și eJobs). Am încercat să îmi trec în CV cât mai multe detalii posibile legate de ce am făcut atât la facultate cât și în practică.
Oare ar trebui să încerc și pe alte site-uri? Ar trebui să mă duc direct la companii să cer să mă angajeze sau să îmi ofere un internship sau posibilitatea de voluntariat? Să îmi depun CV-ul la forțele de muncă?
Chiar trebuie să îmi caut un job, fiindcă am impresia că dacă nu mă angajez curând, angajatorii vor crede că am stat degeaba în tot acest timp.

EDIT: Just so you know, I might have been wrong about the 3rd example!
I want to mention that I know there's another popular example with a silencer for a shotgun or something, but I am not familiar with it. Also, I tried my best to identify each gun, so please correct me if I was wrong about any of them.
SPOILERS from Obsession: >!In the movie, a guy called Bear makes a wish to make his crush, Nikki, love him more than anything in the world. He does that by buying a so-called "One Wish Willow", which is a willow branch that grants you a wish if you tell it and then snap it. You can't make more than one wish, and other branches will not break if you try to make another wish. If it's important: you can't reverse a wish, and you can't wish for anything involving time manipulation, resurrection, immortality, or creating more One Wish Willows.!<
So, I know the action of granting wishes isn't a new concept, and there are even myths, legends, and folklore that involve stuff that can grant wishes. But based on the description, does the concept of the One Wish Willow sound similar to anything more specific from myths? Like, does it sound inspired by something?
I am definitely not the first person to point that out, but I think the designers/show runners took some inspiration from the Alien series when making the beasts.
I mean, small creatures becoming bigger is a concept as old as not just writing, but as long as life has existed. But the Beast's life cycle starts with them emerging from a cocoon, and, mind you, the small beasts can jump (like the Facehuggers).
They also have a Queen Beast. Again, this is already a cliche when it comes to dealing with swarms of the same monsters in movies, but it is still a similarity.
Now... this is more of a stretch, but I find another... rather creepy inspiration. To understand it: the director's cut of the first Alien movie, released in 2003, included a scene where Ripley finds what seems to be a nest made by the Xenomorph, where she finds some of the missing crew members being slowly turned into Ovomorphs (the eggs). This was initially how the Ovomorphs were imagined to be made before the Xenomorph Queen was introduced.
Now, in the IFB episode, when the heroes search for civilians, they find them in cocoons. But some of them had the jumping Beasts in them. There's absolutely no difference between the prisson cocoons and the fertilized cocoons. It's likely that the cocoons can just serve a double purpose, but... I can see the possibilities that either is put there and is turned into nutrients, or... they are turned into beasts.
IDK, I just thought it was interesting.
Just so you know, I had more downvotes before the edit (I think 5). Maybe people just got the wrong message first.
