I really wish they'd remake this game - it was the best. Same story, same turn based game play, same maps, update graphics, that's all it needs. Would also be awesome if there was an MMORPG version where you could wander the waste

Or multiple helicopters flying in formation - also a possibility? Or just a bunch of drones?

Wouldn’t strapping it to the bottom of a blimp/airship have been simpler?

In summary. At some point an ai assistant will replace 80% of the functionality/apps offered by iOS & android - it will finally become the new OS (as we all knew from watching her). This is bad for Google as google’s main feature i

Does no-one remember the 1992 Robin Williams film - Toys? This has been coming for a lonnng time. Question is when there are two armies operating on the same principle do we reach some kind of nash equilibrium?

Love the summary, don’t agree org entropy is inevitable and also don’t agree that equity is a silver bullet. Many times the cure is worse than the disease, it creates a whole bunch of behavioral anti-patterns e.g. people sticking around too

“ The Russians, invaded twice by Germany in the 20th century” - technically in WW1 Russia mobilized her armies ahead of Germany and was the first to cross over state lines on august 17th 1914 - so in ww1 it’s more like Russia invades German

That’s amazing, some of those articles are priceless bits of HN satire.

I think this is interesting in the context of chatgtp. A model trained on language - which is itself a limited model of reality. If the purpose of language is reason and reason convincing and persuading other people, winning arguments with

Yes, his mnd was diagnosed around the age of 21? And he didn’t learn to ride bicycles from reading books.

Yeah I agree that’s fair, a parlor trick is perhaps a little harsh. ChatGTP can provide value - It’s arguable whether having done that ‘with classical’ methods could have been more efficient or whether the end result is as good - (btw care

Can chatgtp ride a bicycle? Can you ride a bicycle? If you ‘d never rode on a bicycle before - do you think if you read enough books on bicycle riding, the physics of bicycle riding, the physics of the universe - you would have anywhere nea

“To be able to be good at predicting the next word you need to have an internal model of the reality that produced that next word.” Now that’s an interesting claim - that I would deeply dispute. It learns from text. Text itself is a model o

I think we disagree about what Y is. My point is that Y is not that different from materially what is possible with a slack bot from circa 2015. Essentially chatgtp is a less efficient way to get to the same outcomes that were already possi

Pepper’s ghost is also impressive when you see it for the first time. They’ve enhanced it do entire concerts now with dead music stars on stage for huge audiences. Has it helped us get any closer solve holography, will I be able to have a

ChatGTP/4 is to AGI what pepper’s ghost is to holography. It’s a parlor trick, even if you add plugins or the ability to call other hugging face ML models - it’s just a parlor trick with fancier bells and whistles. All it is doing is u

So similar but not the same - I’ve been researching how to build my own chatgtp as a service - called something like ‘whenImGone’ - so a user can train a bot to talk like them, with a really sophisticated questionnaire you can pump it full

I think the real innovation that underpins chatgtp is not the LLM but the UI. The large companies have finally woken up to the fact that a simple chat interface is superior to most people than having to filter and scroll a bunch of Google l

This is true - and I think what’s also being missed here is the potential to further this research for producing grain off-world. Growing crops in space or other planets will be a heavily optimized and controlled process so it’s good to exp

One wonders, given that most grain is milled into flour if precision fermentation might be a better solution to this particular problem of producing what is essentially just a mix of proteins and starches.

I Wonder if there are some simple legal solutions to this. Like only individuals and non-profits are allowed to own houses or you can only own a property if you are registered as a resident of the city. I like the sliding scale tax idea bu

Cool - another option could be beaming power to the ferry using microwaves, millimeter waves or lasers. The power transfer efficiency would be lower but saves the cable complexity and slacking/maintenance.
