I'm surprised nobody asked -- does anyone know which games this off-the-grid Brit had inherited the rights to?

I guess we really have to thank the developers of Denuvo then for choosing that licensing model, although I'm sure game preservation wasn't their primary reason for doing so. If it's a one-time licensing fee, it's the re

I've tried using it, and CDPR already have that covered -- it almost doesn't work on Windows.

Isn't it 0? I've heard MS outsourced all of their development documentation work. And personal everyday experience, I'd say it shows.

That sounds fine, but I wouldn't expect you'd still be at 2× to 3× then. Maybe closer to 1.2× to 1.3× (although studies seem to show it's more often actually 0.9×). Coding is already barely 10% of the work, the agents won&#x2

I more or less disagree with two points this article makes. You don't have to go with a major mail hosting service to prevent deliverability issues. Any one of the hundreds of thousands of small local hosting providers should do. I&#x2

"stop calling it 'the future,' AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed" She has found some very good words to boil down all this AI slop nonsense. I sometimes struggle to explain to non-te

I don't think that's a fair characterisation. I gave these tools the benefit of the doubt and many genuine tries, and still do occasionally. My judgment that they're unfit for the task is based on finding that they objectivel

There have been study results published quite recently that suggested otherwise, at least for the U.S. While I don't recall the actual numbers, the number of people who said they read books pretty much crashed over the past two decades

This case is really the opposite, though. Sorting strictly by character value was the default for decades because it was the quickest and easiest to implement. Only with computers hitting the really big mainstream, and millions of complai

That's not a "purpose", though. It's a precondition and a post-fact explanation for why life exists. There's nobody to say that any individual is supposed to continue the cycle.

That's under the assumption of framing it as a problem. Personally, I think naturally declining birth rates are a corrective measure for an already wildly overpopulated planet. And that we can be damn glad that this is the way things s

Like a lot of things recently, it reminds me again of Timothy Snyder's book On Freedom. I think the world would be on a much better path if more people took its core message to heart: that your "freedom" in how to lead your l

And many of those utilities and edge cases will have been wrong or inconsistent, too. That's what the new "100x engineers" don't realise, because they never check those 1,000 lines of code they generated for themselves i

I like how you boiled that down to the core. It can't create information out of thin air; I'll remember that phrasing next time someone sends me a PR with LLM-generated novelizations -- I mean, commit messages -- or tries to get m

Wasn't the end of Estado novo famously low-violence? It's called the Carnation Revolution because there were a lot more flowers than bullets. The overall statistics are undeniable, though. I take some comfort in the fact that no t

What brand of gear does he use?

by Anamon 1y ago
Yeah, younger folks don't remember that new operating systems used to be a thing of excitement -- what cool new features will we get? -- and not, like today, a thing of distress -- what did they break this time, and which new ways have

Why not? They should then also be forced to red-team the heck out of it. If they claim so confidently that it can be done securely, ask them to prove it and set up a bug bounty program. Then watch them scramble for excuses when the first pe

I mean, yeah, if you don't particularly care whether the information you're getting has any grounding in reality.

The No-Derivatives clause of Creative Commons is supposed to prohobit ML training. That's also nice because it doesn't prohibit other, human-serving purposes of using the data with "robots". Although I believe an officia

Maybe you're just using the wrong sources? I guess it's possible that websites don't exist for that, although I somehow doubt it. When I want the basic version of a traditional recipe, I use a cook book. Like the one I still

You conflate doing something with sharing it online. A lot of people do things for themselves, then they post about it and share it because they like the idea of someone else enjoying and getting something out of it. The thing LLMs might

It seems silly, but I have something similar on my sites now. Are there any better options? My content is under a license, the terms of which already explicilty prohibits training LLMs on them. I'm not under the delusion that this alon

Thanks for sharing your experiences. That's about what I'd have expected. I always found it very weird to see people declaring instructions to LLMs as if they were talking to a person. "Do this", "never do that&quot

One does not imply the other. Many European countries have public broadcasters 100% funded by tax money, yet consistently rank among the most impartial and factual media. Them being 100% independent in their reporting, also from the governm

I think it's just that there's been enough time and the magic has worn off. People used it enough now and everybody has made their experiences. They initially were so transfixed that they didn't question the responses. Now pe

Funnily enough, I've shown some people who said they liked using ChatGPT over Google because they can ask questions in natural language, that they can paste the same natural language question to Google's search bar and get their a
