I agree it's a funny look, but my guess is that it comes down to the cross-border data transfers and non-EEA tech providers. So even if Apple has private cloud compute and is using Gemini models, there are probably a lot of legal hoops

Parent comment urged everyone to cancel NYT subscriptions and the child comment respectfully disagreed and explained why they still find value. That seems like a very direct response. These aren’t formal arguments and rebuttals; just opinio

Agreed 100%. But for me it was many, many years ago. But this is my daily shoelace knot and it works amazingly well.

An incendiary clickbait title, and indulgent writing style turned me off. I understand the author’s point and to an extent agree. But I also can’t help thinking that these people plant a flag in the sand while the world just moves on by, le

I love my em dashes but I can't disagree with your assessment at all. The entire tone is pure AI slop.

I struggled with the battle system, as well. Block was way too difficult with a mouse on desktop. Keyboard buttons would be better or slightly more windup to the attacks to allow more reaction time. But, I still found some tactics. Similar

Confirming the same error on my side. This is the only (very small) blemish on an otherwise fantastic game. I know this game is a satirical sendup of gacha, but in the same way that Universal Paperclips subverted the clicker game genre and

The "Four lessons" that came out of running this work at scale made me chuckle. Three of the four were essentially identical and entirely obvious. In short: specific, narrow requests work better than "find vulnerabilities.&qu

Apart from the possible line items others have noted, it's also worth calling out that a ton of the paid media they're talking about is highly targeted digital media. General awareness campaigns are not in vogue these days, especi

By calling it out in my comment, I was trying to not underestimate it. I guess what I'm saying is: Couldn't a world model with targeted training and thoughtfully tuned system prompts be directionally similar to the layered systems

By and large I agree, but it doesn’t need to be either/or. Many of the most popular games in the past decade are procedurally generated and have nothing “intentionally” placed (apart from tuning/tweaking the balance of the seeding

Well, the marathon record has been broken 53 times since the early 1900s. So, there are a lot of factors at play. Better training, better nutrition, better tactics, and, yes, better shoes. The advancements in shoes have made a measurable im

I won't argue that. There are a handful that I think improve the experience (some of the early Carcassonne ones, for example) but they are by far the exception rather than the rule.

Sky Team is great, I agree. For a few more 2p co-ops to try out, I can recommend Sail, Burgle Bros (give it a few playthroughs to get a feel), and Regicide. All are available on BGA if you want to try them and I've loved playing them.

Agree 100%. This hobby jumped the shark probably 5-10 years ago. Thanks to crowdfunding, there are deluxe editions of games all the time being announced for $400–500. Games ship with "6 expansions in box" which sounds great and li

It’s typical to complain about AI slop that hits the front page here, but it’s worth noting that a lot of the (presumably) human-written content is slop in its own right. This piece was some self-indulgent rambling that didn’t really have a

They're not perfect but the local model game is progressing so quickly that they're impossible to ignore. I've only played around with the new qwen 3.6 models for a few minutes (it's damn impressive) but this weekend

Out of curiosity, why not just try it with one of the many local managers like LM Studio or Ollama or oMLX, etc? The Gemini app is kind of terrible (apart from the models) but Gemma 4 runs great locally already.

So... what exactly would you say, you do here? The readme is one sentence long. The website doesn't really have any additional info. The link to the App Store seems to be a for a "Tech Jobs in EU" app from the same developer.

I have to agree. Is it perfect? Hell no. Is it an insane value for the $250 I paid for my Quest 3s last year at Target? Hell yes. My kids and I use our two headsets a lot. Sure, it's not a daily driver for workflows, but the uniqueness
