Lots of things.

Well, it DOES look like the embodiment of all that is evil that will corrupt the hearts of men, so, I guess... good job?

Ah, but did you know that it screws clockwise so that the defending proto-beavers would have an easier time swinging their proto-beaver-sized swords?

Another very important point is that while cat claws don't grow in flat layers, they do grow in layers, each of which fully envelops the next layer inside it, like a sheath.
So when a claw grows dull, the layer just falls off and reveals a new, sharp one below!

Speaking of, I don't know if that's an appropriate topic for you or whether you're interested in writing it, but I thought that perhaps an interesting question is "how would you adapt something written from a deeply religious perspective for a much more secular modern show-watching audience?"

Oh, I get it, it's that writing in the bathroom in Life is Strange.

Welp, time to put one more item into the "embarrassing things I did that will haunt me till the end of my life" pile.

Hi, wanted to thank you for ISAT. I finished it a couple of days ago, and it's still in my head, almost making me anxious. I think the writing hits uncomfortably close to home: despite this being a fantasy story about a time loop, I don't think I ever could relate to a protagonist *that* much.

It is a tiny bit surprising, yeah. You've still seen more anime than I have, but the list doesn't have even some of the "anime that non-anime watchers have likely seen", such as GiS.
But just a tiny bit. See, if you were way more into anime, I'd probably get a lot fewer of your references and such.

I'll believe it when I see it, and so far, I have not.

Sure, with proper oversight, it should be possible to notice these issues and fix them, but now you're spending human time overseeing the results of GenAI and correcting them. Did you even win any time at all as a result?
And you can't just fire the GenAI or train it like you can with a human.

And then, the question is: will the GenAI that writes these tests take this shortcut? Will it understand how this permission check works?
And if it won't... what can you do about it?
Worse yet, will you even *know* that you need to do something? You didn't write the tests, after all.

But what if you add some more complex logic there? Let's say the button requires specific user permissions, and you have a complicated system that checks for those. Sure, you can just fake the results of that check for the test, but then you're skipping multiple failure points.
comment in response to

For instance, let's say you have a webpage that shows a button that has to do something when you click it. Then you'd write two tests: that the button is shown when the page is loaded, and that clicking on it does the action it's supposed to do.
And as long as this holds true, the tests will pass.

An automated test is not a magic enchantment that makes your code safe, it's just a check for some condition that is run automatically so you don't forget to do it.
If the check itself is written poorly, it will be useless or even wrong.
comment in response to

As someone who does have to (sometimes) write the automated tests for my code, here's the tricky part that actually applies to pretty much every use of GenAI:
If you have the knowledge to write the tests yourself, you will be safer to do it.
Because if you don't, you don't know how good they are.

Since nobody pointed it out in the replies yet, there's also a trick that you can do to satisfy Pepper and have it still be safe: you can dilute the milk with water. Experiment with the right proportion so that Pepper is still interested, and you should be fine.

It depends heavily on whether a person can appreciate a movie for how/why it was made, as opposed to what it ended up being on-screen.
Some people can, but not everyone.

Could it be that for some reason this particular form of cancer wasn't as deadly/disruptive for Hadrosaurs specifically, and this is why it wasn't selected to be less prevalent?

Cap'n! They have adapted! Our civility just bounces off of their shields!

Then yeah, not sure. Could be anything ranging from the driver to any number of issues in the game code — it is quite new, after all, probably at least a few hotfixes away from being entirely stable.

I half-suspect that your graphics card starts overheating at some point, which is why lowering your settings gives it time to cool down while you fiddle with it, and then it eventually returns.

Small correction: it takes place at 3 ABY, so in the middle of the OT, not before it.

!SPOILERS!
In there, you VERY TECHNICALLY end up liberating a planet (or a moon, rather) from the Empire... in that you steal a starchart that would lead that governor guy to it and hand it over to Lando and his rebel buds, who are implied to have plans for a secret base there.

Interestingly enough, the DLC to the latest SW game, Outlaws, which takes place somewhere before the events of the OT, features an Imperial governor who thinks the Empire is about to collapse and is preparing to carve out a slice of it once it does.
Not what you asked for, but still.

Of course, the REAL history of the Walkman has been suppressed by the Patriots...
