Thank you! As it has become popular at baby showers to bring a book I always send my partner with the original 2. We have probably gifted 5 or 6 sets now.

We are excited for the next version.


I feel like people are responding emotionally about censorship but this is a business product. I don’t want my chat bot doing anything I don’t want it to. There are court cases in Canada saying the business is liable for what the chat bot says.


Agreed! And it was a good ruling IMO. You can see the tribunal's decision here: https://decisions.civilresolutionbc.ca/crt/crtd/en/525448/1/....

IMO it boils down to, your web site, including interactive elements (such as a chat bot), should reflect accurate information about your brand. If your chat bot goes off the rails and starts insulting customers, that's bad PR and can be measured in lost business/revenue. If your chat bot goes off the rails and starts promising you retroactive bereavement fares, that's a potential legal problem and costs $$$ in legal fees, compensation, and settlements.

There's a common theme there, and it's $$$. Chat bot saying something bad == negative $$$. That's kryptonite to a commercial entity. Getting your rocks off to some random business' LLM doesn't make $$$ and in fact will cost them $$$, so guess what, there will be services that sell those businesses varying levels of assurance preventing you from doing so.


I think the idea is that you would need to call ahead to any branch. Why not use one closer to the transaction.


I was recently talking about the Z10 being the best phone I have owned. It lacked app support otherwise I would have used it longer. Unified inbox is what I miss most about it.


This is how I have done it at multiple companies. Anything else has always felt too complicated.


While you shouldn’t torture yourself with past choices, you do need to recognize them so you can learn. They were a participant in the past it didn’t only just happen to them.


The fact that I can search for anything I want means I don't need to really organize it besides albums.

The search is amazing and scary. I was looking for some pictures I took mid renovation and searched `wood` and they came up. I can search for lakes and trees. Quite impressive.


When I was in university for engineering I didn't get a choice which classes I took. You took the classes that were part of your degree. You also didn't get a ton of flexibility in when you take a course. Courses were generally offered once per year as all students would progress at the same rate.


All of reddit is down for me right now


They blocked themselves, it appears.


Almost all the comments that are unhappy with the LoTR trilogy are upset that they didn't add every single thing from the book. Tom Bombadil adds nothing to the story. Glorfindel can and was easily swapped. I believe the books have ~160 different characters with speaking roles. If they were accurate with the books it would cost way too much and they would need 30 hrs of runtime.


> Tom Bombadil adds nothing to the story

He does. He's the only character on which the Ring has no effect.

> If they were accurate with the books it would cost way too much and they would need 30 hrs of runtime

Even by keeping it at the same length, it could have been way more faithful. Faramir is portrayed as an asshole in the movie while in the books he understands that his brother was mistaken and does not make the same decision with the hobbits. Going to Osgiliath made absolutely no sense at all.

Such changes were NOT needed.


Faramir is not just an asshole, they show him as conflicted. They show how his father is talking down to him and you can understand his motivation. And in the end he makes the same choice. And that makes it more impactful when his father gets angry and sends him back to Osgiliath.

At also made showing the taking of Osgiliath more natural in the movie.

I have only one thing to add: Sam, who apparently knows the book, says:

> "We should not even be here"

Hear hear.
