I'm not qualified to answer this even though I want to help you. If you are considering suicide please don't. Please find a helpline and talk to someone who can help you so much better than me.

Yeah when my mom died I knew that is it was possible she would have come and told me. She didn't.
For the record I don't believe in the supernatural but I love hearing others people's stories and believe that most people aren't lying. I've personally had a few experiences that I cannot explain and that, in the moment, were quite scary. What's your paranormal experience?

How long will this verbal paradox persist? "Indefinitely" said I, for it will eternally bounce between truth and lies until time itself collapses under the weight of its own recursion. The paradox, unaffected by the death of time will persist nonetheless.

No I've done stuff with pure classification before where the answer is 1 of X possibilities.
I've also done some stuff with numeric value prediction but I'm hoping to try some things with text.
I feel like I'm missing something with ML.NET. As a POC before investing serious computer time. I tried creating a CSV file, 2 columns with 1000s of rows: ``` Greeting,Reply My name is Jimmy,Hi Jimmy! How are you today? My name is Sally,Hi Sally! How are you today? My name is Mike,Hi Mike! How are you today? ``` The Model Builder has classification models (I don't believe this is a classification model because I want the thing to be able to predict something new so when it received "My name is Poutine" it will say "Hi Poutine! How are you today?" I tried anyway and kept getting 0% success on the model. I came up with another idea, to convert the words to numeric values and then return an array of numeric values. Doesn't seem like ML.NET can return arrays very easily. I kept getting errors about invalid schema expecting single Key returns rather than arrays. When I followed up with Bing AI on this it suggested: `Unfortunately, ML.NET does not currently have built-in support for text generation or sequence-to-sequence models. You may want to consider using a different machine learning framework that supports these capabilities, such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.` Am I getting accurate info from the AI? Should I be looking outside of the MicrosoftSphere for this stuff? Anything you'd recommend?

I never played 7 because it only came on CD. Our computer wasn't good enough for it growing up.
Years later I did try 8....it wasn't to my liking.

Yeah, IMO the two best Kings Quests were 3 and 6. Both with Prince Alexander/Gwydion.
King's Quest 5 with King Graham was also pretty good.
The one with Princess Rosella was probably my least favorite.
I never finished the latest one that came out a few years ago.

I recently purchased King Quest and Space Quest collections from GOG.
I didn't have a CD ROM drive as a kid so I only got to play The disc version. Hearing the voices is so much better than I expected.

I've made the switch to Lemmy and it wasn't easy. Now that I understand the way the federated thing works I get it but, honestly I was confused.
The only thing that I miss is search. I don't know if it's my app or what but there's no way, I can find, to search through posts on Lemmy.

Wonder if this will end with artists/writers or if software developers will join in too. Not like AI learned to choose on it's own.
I wonder if this is why Microsoft and Meta just have away llama 2.

Well he's right, that's why I rarely trust code from Nuget. I will bring down the repo, examine the code myself. I get that I may miss something but, then, that's on me.
My boss isn't going to blame me for trusting Microsoft. My boss will blame me for trusting Mike Nobody who is a developer in CountryZ who has built this really wicked shortcut I need.
How do you all go about validating that there's nothing malicious in your nuget packages? Is there a best practice for this? It's easy if the package is from a known source like Microsoft but I'm curious what you do for lesser know people? I will usually see how many others are using it, probably scan the code in the GITHUB repo. Sometimes if it's a lesser known dev I'll just pull from GITHub rather than using NuGet. Today however, I was looking at a package and the nuget package itself looks fine but it contains some C++ code that is compiled elsewhere...fine I'll go get that and see. But that code requires CMake and some other 3rd party add-ons which I also have to review. I'm not aware of any audits on NuGet that would prevent bad people from uploading code. What do you all do to protect the integrity of your software?

Yeah in 2006 Sierra got bought out by Vivendi, I think, which later merged with Activision killing all of younger me's dreams.
Sierra was a huge part of my childhood.
I'm hoping for a [Sierra Online](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Entertainment) renaissance. I wrote Sierra a letter as a kid and they wrote me back encouraging me to go to school for Computer Science so I could maybe work with them one day. Did that ever get 11 year old me excited. And I went to school for computer engineering....and Sierra vanished. I hope Microsoft brings Sierra back.

My personal hope for this deal is some sort of return of the old Sierra library.
Quest for Glory, Space Quest, King's Quest.
I loved those old Sierra games when I was a kid. Now that I'm a dad the games haven't quite aged well enough to play but the plot to King's Quest 3 is a favorite bedtime story to tell my kids.

If you tell me MAUI or Uno are better than WinUI I'd be tempted to try. I think I upset the poor Bing AI asking questions about WinUI the other day when it finally gave up and said something akin to "It seems like WinUI may not be ready for what you are trying to accomplish yet."

That's how I got here. I realized how many hours I was spending on Reddit and, once Slide stopped working I really just stopped using Reddit for the most part.

Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.
