Exactly! I did find the design but only on AV units rather than AR units. The AR ones exist but they seem to be almost as rare if not rarer than the AV ones.
I still wonder how they got the incuse so correct if it's fake, that's not usually easy to do. AFAIK it was definitely struck, not cast, but the almost perfect centering is also suspect since most of the genuine ones are at least slightly off center at the least.
He only saw it in a cursory glance but then said it was an "official museum replica", but the more I study the coin the more I doubt it.
So glad to live in the EU. Not a paradise by any stretch of the imagination, but just not that hellbent on killing its own citizens for corporate profits. Yet.
They should, most are produced by WRL and have a (tiny, but visible) WRL stamp somewhere. Can't find anything of the sort on here.
It's never going to stay limited to the US. Palantir will guaranteed be used by other governments outsourcing their tyranny.
Paid 100 bucks for a genuine coin, but someone else (who's more experienced than I am) said he thought it was fake.
That, and teachers really fucking hate being called out on something for some reason.
Not to mention that studios like Larian have proven that it's entirely possible to make a blockbuster game without teams of 400 heads, changing direction and leadership every few years and laying off the people who made the product in the first place. They really seethed at that one, so many salty comments lol.
Bought a coin yesterday, might have gotten scammed. After a three hour drive. Not the greatest feeling ever.
Bought this at a recent small auction for €100. Someone else mentioned it's an "official museum replica" rather than genuine.
Since my expertise is mostly in Romans, I must admit I'm sort of out of my depth with this one. It's not ferromagnetic and the weight checks out at 3.76g, but I am concerned about some of the surface marks.
I hope someone with some more knowledge in these can weigh in and help verify (or not) the authenticity.
So apparently there's this online epidemic of "prophets" who are convinced their particular instance of ChatGPT or whatever other LLM they use is actually sentient, sapient, and why not - God.
There's debate about how normal people without explicit delusions get roped into this and effectively join an online cult.
But it's presented as if this happens by accident and that's what I don't buy. Your LLM is just going to parrot whatever you put in there. I've "asked" GPT if it's sentient as well and it answers with a firm "no" and then clarifies why. Although it does wax lyrical about it:
I'm curious where these grifters will lead people in the near future. We have plenty of examples from fiction, but in reality this is the first time we're seeing people worship technology and actually getting an answer.
I dunno man. I'm just a simple guy without high brow credentials or connections, but I can't see how people with actual critical thinking skills can possibly fall for this. Maybe the state of people's minds is just that much worse than even I in my pessimism and misanthropy imagine?___
Left is idle, right is under full gaming load (Helldivers 2). My previous rig (Intel) easily went up to 85-90°C in the same circumstances. Ambient temps are slightly elevated as well since we've been having ~30°C temps daily here for a while now.
To me this is almost ridiculous. I had never dreamed I could get my temps under load under 70. CPU is at stock speed since there is literally no reason to push it any further at this point. Can always choose to up the clocks later if I still want to.
Cooler is a Noctua NH-D15 G2. I don't see myself returning to watercooling any time soon. And Noctua has a new customer for life.
Two of my furry children. Terra is unfortunately very ill. She has terminal lymphoma and there's nothing we can do anymore but make her comfortable.
I just wanted to celebrate them while I can. That little furry creature saved my life on more than one occasion, and she knows it. I owe her a tremendously great deal and my life was immeasurably richer for having her in it.
It's definitely not gold, alas.
This weekend there's a chance that the person who told me it's a fake will be present, so I'll take it back to him and ask for elaboration. Thanks for the insights so far, has definitely helped!
