There's almost as many ways to make a modern website in 2023 as there are developers of modern websites. You'll find plenty of opinions in here, and I of course have my own :) You can still write websites using the technologies y

Everything in EVE Online takes time. Presumably, they wanted to do it at a time where no-one is likely to notice it's happening, so the victims don't have time to transfer assets out of the corporation before the new CEO gains po

1,000 shares is the default amount of shares any newly created corporation has, and iirc you need to transfer them to yourself if you want to protect your enterprise. So it wouldn't surprise me if there were indeed only exactly 1,000

Not denying it's magic, but in this case it sounds nothing like what Homer would write (or dictate).

That's not accurate at all for me. I'm not impressed with the output when rating it against humans who are good at said task. It's obviously not as good as those who are good in that relevant field. But it's certainly

Sadly true, which leads to a conundrum when trying to get inside the test-giver's head: did the test-giver notice this intricacy of the question and therefore I should give the clever answer, or did they not realise and therefore I sho

One of my kids had the same sort of quiz/test given, but he and his friend had a concern with it. When I read it, I was inclined to agree with them that it doesn't work the way the writer intends. Presumably, each question contai

I’m more interested in text models. So much potential there. I was fascinated by the person who hooked up a Siri shortcut to one of the openai models, asking it to return a json response. I think with a little imagination the potential a

That game really deserves a sequel, with the same cast of characters. Beyond Earth tried to do generic leader personalities, and it suffered as a result. The unique personalities of the original cast were a large part of the game.

I realise it may not be possible for many people due to their organisational requirements, but I think self-hosting is a great option when possible, and the backup story is great with pgbackrest. Easy to upgrade when you're ready.

Yep, this is ordinary conversation for most of the time. It's a bit strange to make yourself aware of it, but you have an idea or thought you want to express, and the sentences come out in a semi-automated and coherent fashion. I thin

I do much prefer the look of new reddit, but the performance is painful. I don't see why you couldn't have a nicer looking UI, but with the performance of old reddit.

Are there other platforms you'd be willing to name that you see as being grassroots "for users by users"? I may want to look into some of them.

One person's modus ponens is another person's modus tollens. I move from the certainty that there is something here that needs explaining ('blueness') that cannot be here if materialism is true, to the conclusion that m

This is clearly an area that you are not much familiar with, and this is evidenced by the fact that you think that the following give some reason to think I'm wrong: * Being a neuroscientist, or AI researcher, etc * Drugs having a larg

If your conclusion is that this is all explicable on physicalism, then I don't agree, because these perceptions exist and should have an explanation, yet are inexplicable given physicalism. I'm not really sure how to go from what

I've tried it. It's truly incredible what it can produce, but it often produces the wrong thing. Furthermore, it cannot do logical inferences, and it cannot do mathematics. In short, the code it produces has to be reviewed by pr

How did they train the AI without first storing the data? It's not in the model, but it was used without permission in the pipeline that lead to creating that AI model. I don't know if that counts as plagiarism, but there's
