That exact sort of magic numbering is rife in games from what I've seen over the years, especially in stuff like an old RPG from 1994. Maybe you've seen better game code on average than me. But you don't even really need the

I wonder if it was percentage based. That'd be one of the easiest mistakes to make. - Player has a stat of 100 - Wears "+10%" helm - Player has a stat of 110 - Removes helm, game subtracts 10% - Player has a stat of 99 Actual

For what it's worth, I didn't get AI-written vibes from it, and Pangram also flags it as 100% human-written.

You may recall though that whole problem with '42' as the answer was the lack of knowledge of the question. The Earth was created as an attempt to provide the question, but was unfortunately demolished to make way for a hyperspace

This is fair criticism, I was being pretty harsh.

Did anyone else notice that all the use cases they show here are "use ChatGPT Images to imagine all the things you'd like to have, but don't"? For some, they then show the thing being done, since just imagining it is a b

The article focuses on novels, but of course many things in life are like this. Learning an instrument for example. It also brought to my mind that famous quote from Ira Glass about creative work.[1] [1] https://www.goodreads.com

This is the marrow of web design, in the same way that Thoreau went to seek the marrow of life. "I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, t

I know, but what I mean is, if he's the only one that even owns anything at .fraser.name now, then it'd be easy to just automatically give him all of .fraser.name when that happens, and then he can recreate his subdomains without

fraser.name does not seem to be currently registered, so it seems they could automatically give him that name, and hence solve the problem entirely. But I wonder if there might be some competing names on the third level? Like, he's n

"Within a year" is a bit of an exaggeration but it's true that the pace of PC tech during the 90s was much, much faster than it is now. CPU power was doubling every two years, and today we're at roughly eight years. Add

Remember though, there is no food cloud really, just other people's fridges.

I feel it necessary to make a slight pedantic correction here, since we're officially defining it. It's Non-Player Character.

It reminds me of an old series of blog posts by Eliezer Yudkowsky[1] where he talked about how there's "doing your best" which is often more like just doing what's expected of you, and then there's really trying,

Yeah. It's a bit unfortunate that I seem to have the top comment in this thread now despite it probably being wrong, at least to some extent, but it's too late to edit it. I agree with your second point as well.

Good point, "we have been continuously exfiltrating new data for over a year into our private database". I missed that line on first read.

The thing that really gets me about this one is that surely you can easily just delete the data after you've verified someone? But instead they decided to keep 153,347,439 of them.

Even if it's not quite technically the first MMO, Origin did also coin the term MMORPG themselves in order to describe Ultima Online to the press.

I can also imagine that someone with a lot of practice might be significantly faster than some unskilled researchers. I also don't think it rules out it being something for a child. It's not so rare to do big projects for you kids

It's funny how so many of the Reddit bots - and actually the bots on X as well - are so bad at their job of looking real. When it's a short comment, they're so often using the "The real X is Y" format, or else &quot
