“It’s not final” unfortunately means Gamefreak still have time to scale it down and make it look uglier. As they’ve done in the past.

They are used for that kind of applications already. You put one of those on, and some technician remotely guides you in doing some maintenance while looking through your eyes. They can mark things in your fov, show you diagrams, whatever. Pretty neat actually.

LLMs can’t learn. It’s one of their inherent properties that they are literally incapable of learning. You can train a new model, but you can’t teach new things to an already trained one. All you can do is adjust its behavior a little bit. That creates an extremely expensive cycle where you just have to spend insane amounts of energy to keep training better models over and over and over again. And the wall of diminishing returns on that has already been smashed into. That, and the fact that they simply don’t have concepts like logic and reasoning and knowing, puts a rather hard limit on their potential. It’s gonna take several sizeable breakthroughs to make LLMs noticeably better than they are now.

There might be another kind of AI that solves those problems inherent to LLMs, but at present that is pure sci-fi.

They don’t work well anymore though, that’s the whole point. Bethesda’s codebase is past “mature”, it’s just straight up old and outdated now. Has been for a decade at the very least. Their games have looked and performed noticeably worse than their contemporaries for a good while now.

An A-B repeat feature. Member when media players had that? I member. Back in my day you could listen to the ooga booga section of Freak on a Leash 162 times in a row with just two clicks.

You underestimate big tech. Judging by the headache inducing track record of AV technology, this would end up as yet another garbled mess of eleventeen different competing codecs with bad implementations, inconsistent specifications, misleading marketing, horrible licensing, and predatory DRM.

Many leaf blowers are powered by angry little single cylinder 2-stroke gas engines. Those obscenely loud and annoying machines are carefully engineered to emit sounds that are perfectly within the most intolerable frequency ranges of the human hearing spectrum.

The software that’s made to escape Microsoft’s ecosystem is being hosted on Microsoft’s GitHub.

Which part of AfD, a German party, taking France out of EU and distributing weapons in London was too subtle I wonder.

I mean Arab rape gangs are violating good Christian girls in Paris all day every day and police can do nothing. There’s a rampant knife crime crisis in London but you are not free to defend yourself with a gun. Immigrants have overrun Berlin and now the Muslim call for prayer can be heard all over the city. Also I hear the Venetian streets are too narrow for my F150 and the locals don’t even accept USD as payment.

Hopefully when AfD wins the elections, takes France out of the EU, and gives everyone guns in London, I will move to Venice.

Because for phones they kinda are custom. The smartphone hardware landscape is an absolute clusterfuck of proprietary blobs and closed source drivers and all sorts of shit that makes it so you need a lot of work to customize the base os to work on any particular device. ROMs have rather short lists of compatible phones, and each one of those had to have a build specifically developed for them. You can’t take, say, grapheneos and slap it on any phone you like.

FH5’s characters were some of the most insufferable NPCs I’ve ever encountered in any game, which is an accomplishment for a game that really didn’t need that much story or character dialogue anyway to begin with. I’m not even exaggerating when I say the game is easily better when their voice slider is set to 0. They’re actually a net negative for the experience. It’s an outrageous combination of top shelf cringe being voiced by some unskilled VAs under the direction of someone who should never have had that job.

The 3DS screen kinda sucked though. It only worked well when your eyes were inside a very tight cone straight in front of the screen. Move your head just a little bit and the image went to shit. And even when it did work, it looked more cool than good, if that makes sense. That narrow fov thing is an inherent limitation of the technology that can hardly be worked around, and it makes it practically useless for TVs. Multiple people can’t view that screen because you can’t expect everyone to be in the vision cone at once. You can’t even properly view it alone because you won’t be staying inside that narrow vision cone the whole time you’ll be sitting on your couch watching Avatar.

I never saw mine as anything more than a cool gimmick, and kept its 3D-ness turned off 95% of the time. There’s a reason Nintendo didn’t pursue it further.

I mean they are a legitimate government office. Trump didn’t found them, they’ve existed for over two decades. It’s only their outrageous gestaponess that’s recent.

Right but the goodness floors and ceilings vary from fruit to fruit. A bad banana is mostly going to be bland and boring at worst, for example, whereas a bad peach can be a disgusting piece of shit. Melons are like peaches. When they’re bad, they’re really bad.

You know exactly how Greek fire was made. You just don’t know that you know the exact recipe for the ultimate naval weapon. Yes, you in particular. Tell us.

I’ve always wondered what drives people to such confessions. Not a killing of course, but I once met a dude and like 20 minutes later he was telling me about the literal scams he pulls. Shit like stealing old people’s passwords and whatnot to buy things for himself online. Very unambiguously illegal stuff. There was no context either, no lead up to that conversation. He just pulled the subject to that out of nowhere and started spilling the beans. One minute we were talking about wearing thinner gloves inside thicker gloves to keep our hands extra warm, and the next minute he was telling me how he tricks old people into submitting their email credentials into fake forms that he makes.

I witnessed something kinda similar.

I was the passenger in an old beaten small panel van. The driver was a complete jackass, but I needed the lift. He pulled up next to an Alfa Romeo 159, and asked for a race. The driver of the Alfa just looked… confused. He gave us a very potent “I cannot sanction your buffoonery” look and rolled his window back up. My driver yelled at him. I sunk into my seat in an overwhelming combination of first and second hand embarrassment.

Because whitespace sensitivity makes it very easy to make a whole bunch of annoying mistakes when shuffling code around, or copying it from one source to another (from text in one application to the editor in your ide for example). I find it supremely unpleasant to work with. Looking kinda a little bit slightly messed up should not be a critical syntax error that breaks the whole code.

So many of those are also fiction. There was a post somewhere, where the op had compiled a list of top relationshipadvice posts that were highly suspicious at the very least up if you went into their posters’ histories. People were eating them up.

That sub became mostly a creative writing gym a long time ago.
