Plenty of construction work takes place indoors as well. That said, the linked article isn't very clear on that aspect. It also mentions a minimum temperature of 16C in the UK which outdoors would be quite a lovely day, but rather cold

Your workplace in Florida has an interior temperature of 86F? This is about temperature in the workplace, not outside temperatures. Most remotely modern interior spaces in Florida are going to be air conditioned so this is already not a pro

I don’t think they’re implying the moors are responsible for the Bronze Age collapse, merely drawing parallels.

Most doctors and nurses are not overpaid. Certain specialities probably are overpaid (orthopedics), but others like pediatricians or general practitioners usually aren’t. And nurses!? From the nurses I know they are underpaid for what they

The odds are stacked, but everyone still has free will and can choose to question what they’ve been told (especially what they’ve been told conflicts with what they can see with their own eyes). Many choose ignorance because it’s comforta

Yes, that would help. Putting regulatory caps on the strength of alcoholic drinks would probably go a long way towards reducing harm across all of society. Of course there will be bootleggers, but the benefits would probably outweigh any of

In many ways electricity is bad for society. In this particular case I think the benefits outweigh the costs. I do not the think the benefits of AI outweigh the costs.

A reflexive anti-AI Luddite attitude is the healthy default until there is overwhelming evidence otherwise. We should be wary of all new technology until it’s proven to be a benefit to society.

You don’t even need to go that far. If they just expelled cheaters instead of trying to sweep it under the rug and ignore it that would go a long way.

It’s the focus that’s important. If you’re listening while doing other things, you’re not really focusing on it.

I bet some do, but not enough for anyone to ever make a commercial game that focuses on hyper-realistic, multiplayer space travel.

You don’t buy an Apple Watch for its battery life, you buy it for its many other features. If battery life is important there are other much better options.

Well it’s definitely the best way to learn the language, if you’re motivated to do so. If you want to learn a language, the absolute best thing you can do is to be completely immersed in it.

I’ve known some devs who were recent immigrants and did not speak much English. It wasn’t FAANG and not West coast so I don’t think they were making $200k but they got by and often paired with other devs who spoke their language and much be

We need to prevent the implementation of surveillance technologies that can be abused now , because later when they are weaponized against us we won’t be able to. Some things are too dangerous to allow to exist, however reasonable and usef

That may be true, but I fail to see how that justifies broad, warrantless surveillance. Could you elaborate?

Reading this made me remember why I stopped playing my Xbox One: never-ending updates. I never played it very frequently so I disabled the sleep mode so it wouldn’t just stay on in my media cabinet heating my house. But of course that meant

Their strategy optimized for the I pieces, so it should be no surprise that winning runs were ones that had a higher incidence of those pieces. Runs with fewer would not have survived under that strategy.

My grandmother and most of her friends were socialists and they all had 4 or more children. Life is way more complicated than university = liberal = no kids.

Are you suggesting that no parents of your generation went to liberal schools?

An insane thesis of the terminally online. If you go out into the real world the lines between “left” and “right” are far more blurry than you seem to think.

My point is that laws of economics are unrelated to what’s good for society, and throwing out hands up and saying, “well that’s hour economics work, nothing we can do” is absurd. I don’t know what the solution is, but there doesn’t have to

It needs the assets from the original game. The creator of this project can’t legally redistribute those assets, so you have to provide them yourself.

I think they’re just posing the question to other users reading these comments.

The reception certainly isn’t the same.

So if this isn’t a bug, is it a feature? Merely a quirky edge case? Genuine question. Would utilizing this even be considered abuse (by Google)?

Why couldn’t an LLM accidentally spit out story beats if they plausibly follow from the context and the player’s input into the conversation?

No, it’s just a case of the rich getting richer. Use your money to buy out the entire stock and then resell it for double the price. What value was added? It’s just the scalper taking the savings the seller intended to pass on to the consum
