Developers expect UI controls to afford fine-grained control over functions as if they’re a thin wrapper for the API. For example, if there’s some condition that prevents something from happening in a program and there are one or two thing

Interesting strategy— I’ll check it out. I get a bit annoyed that I have to essentially trick a tool into giving me useful answers. What’s the chance that a nontechnical user that was just sold a subscription to a Magic answer-generating ma

Makes sense. Definitely something valve would have to deliberately set up and it probably would be more complicated than it seems at the outset.

Thanks— I’ll play around with that workflow.

Additionally, Mr. Beast and other “content creators” are really just the face of small-to-medium-sized companies with brands established in much lower-competition markets with much lower standards and almost certainly could not recreate tha

In my cognitive landscape, abstract reasoning is a huge spike for me while linear reasoning is closer to average. I just don’t think I need help with all of that exploratory stuff — I need something that’s going to root me in reality with

It doesn’t explain anything. It asserts a lot. Sorry I took the time to critique and give examples as a freelance business communication designer. Effective business communication requires frank feedback, and mine usually isn’t cheap, b

Probably not going to be saying much though. The state of real-time LLM-based conversation aids just isn’t where it needs to be for those folks to function in public effectively. I could foresee there being a heck of a slam broetry event ha

Ironically, that was a pretty Reddit-like thing to say.

Maybe they should have used one of those newfangled AI automatic calendar manager things. Or maybe they were using one and shouldn’t have been.

Maybe there’s a particular cognitive profile that benefits most from LLM chat bots? I’ve tried multiple times to realize this force multiplier in my life for everything from day-to-day stuff to picking up new things, using the latest paid b

Your last statement hints at a big consideration: accountability. One lawyer on a formerly 15 lawyer staff is accountable for 15 lawyers worth of potential mistakes, and we know that “but the AI did it!” doesn’t hold water in law.

UE makes their engine source available even if it’s not under a permissive license.

by chefandy 2y ago
I wonder how UE manages it. It compiles for consoles but you can download and modify the engine source. The license isn’t open but you can still get the source.

When they asked for a clear and concise description of your problem and solution, they are probably looking for a problem statement: a focused, 1 or 2 sentence explanation of the problem you intend to solve. You then present your proposed s

Reasoning about the universe of commercial art based solely on the tiny consumer-facing facade doesn’t work. It’s even more detached than speaking confidently about restaurant management because you go out to eat a lot. At least 90% of the

Right. A lot of folks sacrifice the good because it’s not unattainably perfect in tech, especially with security. I think the pressure to improve, on a whole, is a positive thing, but it often makes terrible practical advice.

Perhaps a relic of the days of manufactured coal-based gas that they kept because there was already so much infrastructure. Out of curiosity I’ve been trying to see if the local steam utility offers new supply connections but I don’t see an

You’re conflating “content creators you’re aware of” and the entire collection of industries that comprise commercial art. Indeed, the search engine optimizing celebrity influencer content creation market is booming— a lot of it either bein

As an artist, this sort of shit makes me apoplectic. I’m frustrated that society has no way to compensate people that do creative work for a living other than the same mechanism that virii like this extract money from other people’s work us

Anybody expecting to get enough privacy to commit crimes using a VPN is definitely naive. I think most people doing important privacy stuff like being whistle blowers in authoritarian regimes knows that well enough. As part of a multi-prong

If you use a VPN provider that only has one set of servers provided by one hosting provider then sure. If you’re connecting to any number of servers then that’s probably less of a problem. I’m much more concerned with Starbucks collecting d

I imagine they’re much more difficult to work with but I don’t think copper meets code for gas in the US for some reason.

You use copper pipes for gas? Interesting. In the US we use iron.

Yeah same. I’ve got an extra drill that was free with any purchase from harbor freight (but normally sells for like $15) that I’ve used with a 2” hole saw several times for cord management. Maybe the poster had a drill-shaped electric screw
