I think they do have at least some incentive to rank good results highly. Why use a search engine if it's no good at finding relevant stuff? And if no one is using the search engine, who's gonna see all those ads? Of course, they

It's a classic case of "once a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric" To clarify, Google defines the metrics by which pages are ranked in their search results, and since everyone want to be at the top of Goog

Replace "AI" in your comment with "human journalists" and it still holds largely true though. It's not like AI invented clickbait, though it might have mastered the art of it. The convincing bullshit problem does no

Depending on your perspective, it might drive the point home even further!

"Fighting muskoxen"doesn't really roll of the tongue tho, it's too long for one, and I feel like it would have a better ring to it if the verb came last(like it does inthe original phrase) How about "musk fighting&q

A lot of people have said chat-gpt/copilot is a lot like having a robotic junior dev around. I think perhaps your description is more succinct

"The electron beam is a promising technology to break down PFAS in large volumes of water that contain high concentrations of PFAS," I wonder how well this works with water that has low concentrations of PFAS, because I guess that

So far it seems some of the positive effects are permanent, or at least long term. If I go without, I'm still better off than I was before I tried the first time, but not quite as good as I am with. I have not yet noticed any adverse s

This might be controversial, but I've found that micro-dosing psilocybin removes the urge of such distractions, and allows me to focus on what needs to be done. I've been told I might have undiagnosed ADHD tho, not sure if relevan

I think the best we can hope for, at least for the foreseeable future, is a workflow where you ask the AI to do a thing it gets it 80% right (someone who's good at writing prompts might even have it get a bit more correct) and then man

It wasn't, my friend certainly wasn't the first to do something similar, this was much more recent. I was just impressed by a demo he showed me of his work. He did procedural rigging for Darktide 40k, and physics based animations

by amarant 3y ago
Oh my, now that is exciting! A friend of mine had implemented procedural rigging, and physics based generative animations used in some pretty big name games. Combine those 2 technologies with this, and you've seriously lowered the entr

Depends. If you manage to fold a prion it will spread to other users and corrupt their memory, introduce odd rendering artifacts and finally brick their computer. ;)

It's not so much that they are easy per se, but compared to what SpaceX does regularly, it's peanuts. A simplified version of what they already do. Assuming the warhead itself can handle the detonation part, what part of "fly

Dropping seems a lot easier than landing though. And I imagine if your payload is a nuke, missing your target by even a hundred meters doesn't matter much.. Convincing SpaceX to go along with it on the other hand, I think is going to b

So, what happens if you lick the frog and eat the mushroom? Someone should try.. You know, for science!

GP has a point. While economic integration didn't work this time, it has in the past. Been a while since you last saw Germany invading Poland for example. Or France. Costs obviously do matter, but no-one is saying it's a fool-proo

They've done a lot of interesting stuff over the years. My personal favourite is the submarine: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narco-submarine

This is pretty cool! Also happy to see you were able to make such an original app using chatgpt! It's a great counter example to some of the weirder arguments I've seen on here against generative ai's! Now, if you could make

What's the equivalent of "victim blaming" for sick people? Because this is that.

Ah yeah they did, I recall that calculator app thing from their tale as well. That's a pretty well made honeypot I must say!

A bit of both I suppose. In my case I think taking on too many responsibilities and stressing out too much over any production issues that arose were the main ingredients for disaster. But there were others as well. Burnout is complicated.

Huh, I didn't know encrochat was a legit encrypted chat at first. Someone told me once it was created as a ruse by the European police, made from the start as a way to take down criminal organisations. Guess I shouldn't believe ev

As someone currently recovering from burnout, that is indeed my greatest weakness, and it's anything but a brag! Working too hard means you're liable to disappear for 6+months, no sane employer should want that!

Apple is indeed masterful at advertising. Google, somewhat ironically, is really bad at it.

I mean, candy crush is the most downloaded mobile game ever, and it's income is measured in millions of dollars per DAY. I don't much like it either, but it's popularity is difficult to deny. By any objective measure, it&#x27

One of my best friends likes his cardio. A lot. Both his resting pulse and blood pressure are so low a nurse examining him (for what later turned out to be allergies) once thought he was dying and brought the hospitals cardiologist running
