We are Dodo-ing ourselves.

Oh good

The whole point of maths is that there's a formulaic approach to getting the answer. You go through a series of discrete steps and you get the answer. The steps will always be the same for the same problem and the answer will always be the same for the same inputs.

This is something already solved by computation, it doesn't need a generative AI token matching and learning algorithm to work out the answer to a problem. This isn't and shouldn't ever be the use case for a chat bot.

What you want is a calculator.

The best thing you can do for hedgehogs is open up your garden to let them roam. They can travels several miles a night in search of food and water. Cutting a CD sized hole in your fence or gate can give the a route in and out. If you can get your neighbours to do the same then even better. There are hundreds and hundreds of square miles of gardens locked up behind fences and walls that wildlife would love to be able to have access to.

Whole heartedly agree, I don't really consider the first 3 Discworld novels to really be part of the main series so much as proto-Discworld books. Almost nothing that takes place in them is even mentioned again barring "What I Did On My Holidays"

There isn't really a bad Discworld novel, you've definitely got some great jumping off points. They're all basically stand alone apart from one specific entry in the Witches cycle (Lords and Ladies) that is recommended to read after the preceeding one (Witches Abroad) so you won't have any issues picking one and going for it. Moving Pictures is a personal favourite but all 4 are great.

Next step is to probably get a Rincewind novel and a City Watch one.

Studies have shown that when people are aware that images and news stories might be faked (whether through AI or photoshop) people are no better at identifying which are faked but just become more distrustful of everything and just start to misattribute genuine pictures to AI.

Some major whooshing going on right now.

Fitgirl repacks has quite a few switch games on their site

That's sort of my point, this doesn't solve a problem that isn't already solved.

Our plan to stop people working illegally, is to require them to provide ID to their employer and if they don't they're breaking the law!

Absolute idiocy.
