If the games you want are on steam, check if they are on this list: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

If there is no anticheat (or the anticheat is supported), and the game is on steam, then I would wager that it would "just work". My feeling is that it's more like 99% now. Non steam games can be more problematic (I had issues with the blizzard/wow launcher for instance, it can be made to work but definitely doesn't "just work").

Happy gaming!

Thanks for the link, yeah I'm pretty much entirely on Steam. I'll play Diablo 4 one of these years, and that appears to be running fine. Sometimes I'll try out a game on my steam deck for fun and so far everything I run has worked. Maybe it is 99%+ for me. I looked through the "Denied" and "Broken" lists and saw a few games that I've played in the past (street fighter, guilty gear) on the Broken list. Guess I could always just play those on Playstation.

This sounds really interesting! How does one get started? Is it expensive?

I think lapidary and faceting often have guilds or clubs that let you use shared equipment. I think in terms of materials gem rough material is cheap for some gemstones and expensive for others. Obviously synthetic and quartz are cheaper than natural sapphire, but there's a whole range. In terms of equipment I think the faceting machines come in different kinds with different features and are maybe circa okayish laptop prices for a used one but get much more expensive for new ones or specialty ones. I know there are at least two kinds - traditional faceting and concave. I don't know that much about how designing new cuts works, but it's definitely its own niche thing and if you look into groups that do it they'll talk about facet designs and who designed them. I think there are some books and software that folks use, but I don't know a whole lot about it.

It might be interesting to try your idea, to see for yourself where the difficulty lies, but be warned that finding general solution formulas for degree 3 and 4 equations is kind of brutally difficult. I'd link to the historical developments but it would spoil it for those that nevertheless want to give it a shot. Degree 5 requires some serious far out of the box ideas, if you want to understand what's going on.

But in general the idea of making small changes to solved problems and seeing if you can tackle them is an excellent approach to recreational mathematics! I think I'd start somewhere other than higher degree equations though, that would be a rough start.

You are not alone.

So tell an LLM what you would like the post to say, and then post the output?

LLM as the sickness and the cure...

This is the first thing that comes to mind. However I wonder if not only the “general” vocabulary can be anonymized but also the underlying concepts and references, because they point to a particular place too.

This raises an intriguing idea. The solutions will require children to upload their personal information, including photos. Like roblox.

Children are clearly not capable of understanding the ramifications of this decision. So, prompting children to upload such info should itself be illegal.

Nevermind that most adults do not understand the ramifications either, but we assume they are capable of consenting to anything by fiat, so let's ignore that...

Not the user you asked, but: Yes, it seems obvious that old pictures are valuable because they are free of photoshop. Not that this means that they are free of manipulation though, c.f. the famous picture of stalin at the river with/out his fellows.

I guess the meta level point to teach your hypothetial kid is that media is not an instruction manual?

It's true that the characters are very flawed, but perfect characters would not make a compelling story... I guess you are talking about Cameron and not Donna, but if so I'd also say that I think the story does not really reward her, in the end.

You are wise to heed them!

If you're willing to consider some random username's opinion, I consider it to be possibly the best of all time TV drama, with the only alternative pick being The Wire.

I hope you enjoy it!

I think about this at least on a monthly basis.

Especially when I start to spend too much time obsessing about storage optimization, or similar. To me, sometimes, the computer is the thing. But it's really helpful to take a step back and think about the big picture.
