You could make it 99% of the time a normal phone booth and 1% you get the Matrix easter egg, that would be even more fun.

But how is it different? Because I live in one of those 27 member states, and I'm pretty sure that we had our own regulations before, that they were different from the other 26 states, and that any companies doing business here had to

I think this is the most accurate take on this thread. I've written super optimised code in assembly and SIMD. But only for contests never at work, because I've never had an employer that cared to optimise things that far, they ju

I remember people moving the goalposts like that since, let me check... when did AI Dungeon go viral? Wow, 2019.

I don't see why these colors would be any more truer than the ones before. I bet they would change again just as quick if winds went back to blowing the other way. The only color they care about is the green of money. And if you asked

There are only like three or four that aren't just flat buttons with a different border radius and colour. If this had been done in the mid 2000s it would have hundreds of entirely different looking buttons. Glassy buttons, metal butto

Why would anyone pull it? When I want slop I just ask the AI to generate some exactly the way I like it.

One sentence into that readme I can tell you that yes, it most definitely counts as slop.

This is Microsoft we're talking about, they'd never do the glaringly obvious solution when mindless bureaucracy is an option.

Yes, as soon as models come out that can write properly, we'll all instantly get over it. Until then we'll be having this discussion over and over, as many times as it is necessary.

There are already more game dumps and mods than anyone can play in single lifetime. There are plenty games without DRM and always-online protections in GOG alone.

You'll never be able to agree on where that line should go. First because there's a cultural component to it. I'm from Spain so I can only talk for myself, but while he uses rude language, nothing I've ever read from him

Top 5 games on steam alone account for 50% of the player base, their player base estimations are (as per Google) 4-9% female for the most played (Counter-Strike), 3.5-6% for the second one, <15% the third, ~25% fourth, ~10% fifth. Of th

Obviously when they make an ad they'll hire actors and show whoever they want, because it makes their product look good, or it aligns more with the image they want to project, or whatever. That is fine. My comment was because the threa

Cool story. Obviously wrong. You only need to go on steamdb and use two brain cells: Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, PUBG and Apex Legends are almost 50% of the active players on any given day. They're PVP games, and their playerbase is >

I'm not clearing up confusion, I'm letting you know it's pretty easy for everybody to see that you're wrong. If you want to continue being wrong just because the method used doesn't meet your very rigorous standards

They're two separate shots that's for sure. I mean, otherwise you'd see the other camera taking the shot from the opposite perspective so...

Go on Steam, look at the most played games right now, look at the demographics for those games. Or pick some player profiles at random, count how many girls vs guys you find (very easy to tell with high accuracy just by looking at the games

Same. We replicated some data from Postgres, it was easy to set up, similar enough that the transition was trivial, and really good performance out of the box. One of those good "use the right tool for the job" experiences.

You can't justify trillions of market cap just serving the US market, and they've just kneecapped their ability to compete anywhere else, it would be delusional to invest on something like this thinking it's going to be a fre

Yes, there have always been bad programmers. The only difference is that now thanks to AI anybody can be a bad programmer. You've got people out there contributing sloppy code like only a bad "10x engineer" could do before. G

I'm sure if a dev can show useful results at 1k they won't have trouble getting permission for a higher cap as well.

On the other end, I live very frugally and when I spent six months without work I calculated how much my savings would last with my no job level of spending and it was 21 years. So anyone who wants to learn to live frugally would be wise t

I watched a video about Japanese cling wrap, and it showed the box has a plastic lip on the part of the lid that's used to cut the film at the desired length. Here in Europe all the rolls I've ever bought came in a paper box which

This scene from Ubik has been coming back to my mind very often recently: The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.” He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried th

Yes, first they'll focus on normal dodos. Then, they'll try very large Dodos. After that, very, very ancient dodos. Followed by island dodos. Then they might set up a whole island that people can visit, full of all kinds of dodos.
