as a foreign/outsider working in a company, the expectation lies on the outsider to adapt to local/company culture. it is interesting to observe how people react to being in such a position when they are in a foreign work culture

well, it was fun while it lasted at least. now with apple and arm pushing for an alternative platform via emulation at first, we are heading for a fragmented mess yet again.

now you have people getting pissed off by "nice save!" messages used ironically in rocket league, or people getting riled up from a random goal celebration in the popular annual football game. people will continue to get frustrate

there are established good competitive titles without pay2win. look at league, counter-strike for instance. a lot of the other things mentioned (like a solo guy getting matched with a "team") are to me similar to real-life counter

diego garcia remains, so it really is a matter of semantics. not that military bases like these are always great with the host nations ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf-eHVa-2zE ). any potential windfall would be nice for

figured the llm would've helped them with more creative naming ideas. how ironic.

can respect your perspective about pricing, but do not forget how we "buy" things now. it is just a virtual lease of unspecified duration in reality. when physical ownership was possible, you could tend to have games that you can

call me narrow-minded but just like general public read books on a daily, write essays regularly like daily journals, or make public speeches, you'd have to drink a special kind of kool-aid to assume we all need AI like public utilit

LLMs are to AI what BTC is to blockchain, let me explain. blockchain and no-trust decentralization has so much promise, but grifters all go for what got done first and can be squeezed money out of. same is happening with LLMs, as a lot of c

as of now there are way too many parallel developments across abstraction layers, hardware or software, to really have the best combo just yet. even this example is for an older architecture because certain things just move slower than othe

as someone working in AI, if i had access to 7T USD, i would never put it all in AI research, forget in one moonshot alone to put it best. in retrospect, press media was much more critical of meta and the whole metaverse schtick. it took

mfs 2020 seems to do what it says on the label - be a simulator. the entire point of a simulator is to give you the sandbox to do whatever you want while having as near of a realistic experience as possible. if they try to add these things

interesting tradeoff wrt to the display. i can understand why it was made and why xr was prioritized over better visuals. it would've been a sell for me if they went with the newer lens at least.

i noticed a lot of these advise used by senior devs in my team or in legacy code. but as someone just starting out, a lot of these (like "1=1") was very odd and made the queries less accessible. nice to finally found the term for

i mentioned biometrics as historically it used to be a major point against the entire system. it is equally interesting to note that this aspect is no longer discussed as much. we need to yet again stress on the universal part of the syst

i used to be in the same ideological camp as the op in the beginning. but after seeing how many processes one takes for granted elsewhere got sped up with the new system, you really need to evaluate your overall opinion about this. having l

similar story for video games. common area being that both industries tend to have significant amount of passionate creators that would happy work this way. however, do note that people in anime have a trade union unlike most game devs outs

from the discourse here, the main pain point really is the accessibility to do something like this thanks to the new models. IANAL and not sure about regional precedence on these topics, but there are plenty of ads where lookalikes or voice

as an inexperienced, thankless issue-raiser in this world, i can give my 0.02 on this. a lot of open-source today seems like the charitable organizations of the world. the idea is to give selflessly, but a lot of it has become about lowkey

as outlandish as it sounds, there might be a better chance of this happening than the arm deal. the only reason being that both companies are registered in the same country, where the other parties would have a harder time blocking things.

nobody is a saint on this matter. both parties act the way they do to support their business position. short-term support helps qualcomm sell more because their customers want to sell more phones to the same users. on the other hand, for th

speaking from my own experiences, linkedin does not seem to have any more introspective text content than, say, facebook. from the commercial/influencer side, many have taken the AI route already by using LLMs to help write or spice up

personally, as mentioned by others, a sound alert can be handy as an idea when a long-running background task finishes. this is especially pertinent for those on ssh sessions to another machine. my spin for the workaround used to be echoing
