FUN! And who knows, maybe this will lead to something later. Many discoveries or inventions were built on things people didn’t know the use of at the time.

I’m not sure that refutes anything in the article

There’s nothing dumb about saying how leaders should act. It’s not stating how things are, but how they should be.
846.
by jama211 1y ago
You don’t agree with the premise that managers should act more like leaders? It’s not stating how people are, it’s stating how they _should_ be. Does that make sense?

Sure, but you can find north/south at noon _every day_. I don’t actually have a strong opinion either way, but I think it’s true that you can find arbitrary explanations for anything you lie here. At the end of the day we just gotta pi

I think you missed my actual point, which is that anyone can pick an arbitrary explanation.

Haha, don’t read into my random example too hard, it was only there to prove you can make an argument for anything if you try hard enough.

More languages read right to left than left to right despite most people being right handed, so the blocking what you’ve written thing doesn’t seem to add up either. I agree human mechanics is likely the reason people tend to write down rat

I can agree moving down the page is probably more common due to human mechanics, AND say that trying to make the argument the way they did wasn’t particularly sensible.

People latch hardest onto a random explanation when they have the least idea what’s going on. The more someone knows, the more complicated and “it depends” their answer will be I’ve found. A green flag for me that someone might be an expert

Google would control everything if they could, but this won’t achieve that and they know that so it’s not the specific intention of this. Even if you’re feeling doomerish about it.

Gravity is just a random natural process to pick for your point. You could just as easily say “bottom to top is natural because that’s the direction trees grow”. It’s all arbitrary.

by jama211 1y ago
If it’s at the bottom and you put it on a table, more of the land is closer to you and therefore easier to read. Its all arbitrary, and we can all make up random minor pro/cons all we like but it don’t change that.

The sun doesn’t rise directly in the east though unless you live exactly on the equator, and it rises a different amount off of east every day. However, at noon, the sun is always either due north or due south depending on what hemisphere y

Unless the alternatives are significantly cheaper, either now or over the next 50 years

That’s not a high bar, and you’re making some assumptions there, and even if it was entirely that I would still argue the old title was fine. Not misleading, just a highlight.

Far less people care or remember about the ipad release dates compared to phone release dates, so it’s a reasonable editorial choice.

by jama211 1y ago
And it’s a fair point for me to make that if you want to look at it that way, you need to be consistent about looking at it that way across all offerings.

Did you read the article? They specifically said it was a variable in the game engine code that causes the overflow. A program crashing causes the OS to show the error, but the bug that caused the crash was clearly in the game code itself.

You’re saying the Witcher 3 and games like it are bad?

Huh, thanks! I’ll give it a try

Ooh, I’ll have to give this a try, thank you!

This might be slightly of topic but this article mentions the stat that keeps going around that refutes productivity gains given by LLM’s, but honestly I think this is because this is reported by companies that are either measuring time to

By that logic all communication is impossible. In reality, a choice of word that is interpreted close to correctly by most people is a better choice of words than a choice of word that is interpreted close to incorrectly by most people.

Hah, indeed, that was my first thought. This is clearly for fun though, it’s a cool project idea

They explained it was in the game code though?

Same. Something about the metroidvania design with the home hub of the later ones didn’t give the same feeling. It should be run, kill, find secrets, end, next level.
