Humans can't explain why we do things, so I guess we're not intelligent either?

The same is true for a human brain in a vat. It's even true for humans historically, it took us millenia to figure out science. When robots are powered by transformers or the like, I expect we'll see some pretty impressive results

Reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime Maybe we could invent some new verbs to delineate between the scenarios.

Yes, corporations are not people, and do not get rights, period. They're legal fictions that get privileges that we the people grant them. If you want to represent yourself commercially as a person, your rights as a person can be exten

You're missing the entire point. Now the president can't be prosecuted for taking a bribe, even if he publicly declares that's the reason for doing so.

Legal fiction. It was convenient to treat them as persons for legal reasons, but it's now clear that we need to clarify that with an amendment.

The GPL is a clever hack of a broken system. Given copyright existing, I like the GPL's protections. I would rather take no copyright, as that would address many (but not all) of the reasons the GPL exists.

Because it's straight from the horse's mouth, and it does in fact capture Go's philosophy perfectly. Go is, and was designed to be, a blub language.

Are there any efforts to push functionality like this into the HTML standard? It would be nice if htmx eventually became unnecessary as browsers implemented it, and the work you're doing with proving it out in the wild seems like a cru

It's not actually a limitation, the ecosystem is just young: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced My general point though is that there's still some ecosystem/legacy reasons to stick with C++, but Rust very m

I don't really see the distinction you're making. C++ will still be around for legacy projects that don't want to switch, but I can't think of a new project that would benefit from picking C++ over Rust, apart from needi

"Arguably competitive" is just plain wrong. I know it's fun to be dismissive of things, but making silly claims doesn't help comments like this read seriously.

Economies of scale are working great for solar. I suspect economies of scale don't work specifically for coal, because people don't want a bunch of pollution machines scattered everywhere. It's better to centralize and regula

It's asking for an LLM, which we have. I really don't think you understand how LLMs work or something, I'm not really sure. I also think that you're intentionally missing the point so that you can be insulting. May you f

I think you're confused about curation and unlimited freedom being possible? Those are not at odds with each other. Game devs will provide a world that they enjoy creating stories in. They'll playtest characters and write their ba

BotW suffers for the NPCs having no agency or dimension to them. Why can't I infiltrate the Yiga clan and bend them to my will to help me defeat Ganon? Why can't I teach the villagers in TotK how to fight and fend for themselves a

Before Minecraft came out, you'd be complaining about "Procedurally-generated slop", and saying there's no way a game like that would work. LLMs won't generate items or houses (or at least be the primary source). Th

The main draw for LLM-powered sandbox games will be sharing YOUR stories with other people. There will also be extensive structure and curation to these games. It will just be elements that you can play with as you see fit, much like Minecr

So don't use an LLM that always affirms your assertions. Easy peasy. I don't understand your beef. My awkward dialogue was just to demonstrate that the LLM can pick up on all of these things you claim it can't. The LLM wouldn

There's no game logic they're scripted to utilize that limits what you're looking for. I'm not sure why you think they'd say they have no friends. You'd say "Tell me about your friend", and the NPC wo

Console manufacturers would salivate at the thought of new hardware that makes people want to buy a new console instead of playing the ones they've already got. Once someone gets it working reasonably on PC, it will quickly spread to a
