A few years ago she won a bid on a Nintendo 64 with one controller. She found another controller somewhere, and started investing in old game cartridges. I pointed out that those games are available now on modern hardware via emulation, but she says there's something satisfying with having physical cartridges of single games.

I was playing Yooka-Laylee the other day and a message on the loading screen make me chuckle: "If cartridges were still cool this would have loaded by now."

I told the wife about this, and naturally her reaction was that I must have aspergers on account of I'm blunt anddon't always prioritize the emotional well-being of my interlocutors, thus I must be blind to it.

Have you considered the possibility that you might just be an arsehole?

It's perfectly possible to be left-wing on economic issues and right-wing on issues of liberty. There's more than one left-right axis.

Imagine a person who is against all form of taxation and government interference in private business, but also vehemently opposed to the government dictating what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms.
Is this person left-wing, right-wing, both or neither?

Labour may be notionally on the left when it comes to the economics of the country, though nowhere nearly as much as they were in the past, but they've also had a bit of an authoritarian streak in recent decades.

Check TFS. LLMs aren't in there. Engineers were using AI to find better shapes for rocket nozzles years before anyone had ever heard of ChatGPT. Hell, I toyed with using genetic algorithms to make extruded parts better nearly twenty years ago.

Don't fall for the marketing; there's more to AI than LLMs. Most of it actually works.
