It's not really a representative sample of what people want, only 2% responded to the section about AI and only half of those are anti-AI. You'd have to assume as well that the people most likely to respond to the AI section would

The release is right here: https://github.com/joe-gibbs/fall-of-an-empire-release/relea... , on the right hand side of the linked page. I said release because it's a release and not the source. I used Github b

Thank you! Yes, unless you're counting the artists who I've hired to do freelance stuff. I think that it would definitely benefit from a gameplay trailer, so that's something that I'll try to get up in the next few weeks

I would really like to make a Total War style game after this if it's a success. It's probably something you'd need a few other people on the team to do though - it's at least twice the work. It's also a lot more di

Why should I do that apart from some commenter demanding that I do so? If I put in thousands of hours of work and a few thousand dollars into a project, why should I get zero compensation for that and not even be allowed to indirectly benef

It’s got a bunch of components and paid libraries that probably wouldn’t let me do that. I also think that very few people would get any benefit from being open-sourced since it depends on modified Unreal Engine - the project itself and the

Feedback mostly - what's wrong with it, what's right, what needs doing differently or should be rebalanced before the main game is out.

Thanks, I did the landscape materials and some of the UI myself, but the other half of the UI, the models for the trees, the cities (which I'm in the process of revamping) and the armies were all outsourced.

Thank you! I just re-read the copy and realised that I'd taken the real-time part for granted and focused on the turn-based element of the battles. It's real-time, but it's pauseable and the player can change the speed of the

Node was something new, that hadn't been done before and was easy to use, it meant that you could use Javascript on the front and backend, so you didn't need people with experience in PHP/Java/C# to write your backend co

Have there been any attempts to create a rat-killing virus? Something like myxomatosis or calicivirus in rabbits.

A lot of rebranding is just busy work, stuff for people to do to feel like they've done something without actually doing anything. Sometimes it's a good idea - maybe their previous logo was gaudy, maybe it's not distinguishab

I kind of see it, but honestly I don't think it had that huge of an effect compared to later developments. You can see on the map that East Germany is depopulated - in 1948 it had 19 million people, while today it only has 12 million

It's solipsism, it's unfalsifiable. How can you ever trust your senses when they're the only thing you can go off?

My own guess as to why GPT overuses delve is that it’s an artefact of RLHF. When you’re training a model to respond as a chatbot rather than the next most probable token you’ve people marking responses as good/bad. You’ve got some othe

If you ask me, over the last few years it's actually getting better. Of course, music taste is entirely subjective. A medieval peasant would say that Beethoven and Mozart are unlistenable trash, and you won't find many fanatical l

That's what I'm wondering. Did he think that nobody would bother checking it? Then he was saying all that stuff about the model being "corrupted during upload" - maybe he didn't think it was going to get as much tra

Say if an adversary with a small nuclear program that hasn’t yet achieved a weapon got a hold of this, what kind of impact would that make?

Really, to be fair in this case it's more like "are Javascript and Typescript different languages though" seeing as C++ is, like Typescript to Javascript, almost a superset of C except for a few changes that break things.

Now there's a benefit of AI that most people probably haven't considered: give it a few years and I bet you'll start seeing way less vacuous, cliched corporate writing once people have read enough AI output that they'll

The interesting thing is that looking through the history I’ve never noticed any of them actually shill a product yet - maybe they’re the bots that upvote the shill posts, or maybe it’s just that they’re so cheap you can run 100 of them for

Rather than be related to training data this looks like a RAG issue - even if you don't have the AI answers (I don't get them) the first result is: "Conclusions: *Parachute use did not reduce death or major traumatic injury w

Which language are you using, and what kind of code are you writing? So far I've had good results for Javascript/Typescript and SQL for web apps and Unreal C++ for game development. I can imagine it would do way worse though if yo
