Xbox games are all VM images so im not it’s even sure it’s recompiled as much as emulated. All they are probably doing is ensuring compatibility . Dave Cutler said XBox is a variant of hyper-v.

I’d argue the opposite. This happened, as how I understood it when it was explained, is that while code gets lots and lots of eyeballs, non- trivial make files get little to no real review as it’s often hard to reason about them. The exploi

Annoying. Yesterday the product page said it came with 5 minifigures. Today it shows 6. But in all the promo images on the site and in this article I think I’m up to 9 or 10. I think it’s going to be hard to play a game with so few figures.

Thanks. I will. I must confess, I have not tried the top_p or seed value. I guess my naive belief was that the the defaults in the api matched the OOTB experience of the web interface. shame on me
