You must be Gen Z because the prevailing attitude towards video games of all kinds was mostly negative in the 20th century. They even tried to blame Doom for school shootings.

Probably not even that. Remember that the constraints also include cost and time so it’s unlikely they just threw everything at it willy nilly.

The OP has a point. You can be intrinsically motivated and still wind up bitter and disillusioned by spending years in a terrible job where all the “devex” things in this article are deep in the negative. High cognitive load, constant inter

Use the edit button if you get an incorrect answer. The whole conversation is fed back in as part of the prompt so leaving incorrect text in there will influence all future answers. Editing creates a new branch allowing you to refine your p

For complex codebases it’s better to use copilot since they do the work of providing context to gpt for you. CopilotX will do a lot more but it’s still waitlist signup. You could hack something together yourself using the API. The quickest

Bit disingenuous about PC VR. There’s only 1 cable to the headset and if you have a decent rig the fans won’t be blasting. Big Screen’s new headset is going to blow Apple out of the water on weight, size and comfort too.

lol, just make the chip weaker? On an AR/VR headset that means potato graphics and motion sickness. Guaranteed flop.

It’s odd that you need to use “conservative” in pointing to socially conservative then. Are conservative politicians not allowed to be socially conservative? Who represents people with those beliefs if not?

So “Super-Alt-Right-Con” actually means just regular conservative as far as I can tell from reading the page you linked. How are the two different in your mind? Genuinely curious what your definitions are since this is confusing as an outsi

Not OP but I view happiness as nominal because I get more done when I’m happy, I find it easier to take small failures in stride, I resonate more with other people and I just get more satisfaction out of life. If I’m feeling down then prett

Interesting thought. My mind went to the possibility that since they reversed signals are allowing your mood to determine how you feel physically that it might allow you to leverage a good mood to overcome negative signals from your body i.

It is funny. Lots of criticisms amount to “this AI sucks because it’s making mistakes and bullshitting like a person would instead of acting like a piece of software that always returns the right answer.” Well, duh. We’re trying to build a

The only reason they’re having a problem is due to the way they’re requesting this. OpenAI’s GPT can follow schemas for responses and issue commands or API requests if you tell it how. I’m sure Bard can do the same with the right request st

There is a trick to get better performance out of 3.5, examples specifically in Q&A format. You basically have to show it how you want it to act first and then ask your question or whatever. It can be a pain to craft a good prompt but t

One key thing especially for writing is to give it examples or a starting paragraph that it should continue from. If you just tell it to “write a document about X” it defaults to a very poor style or worse a list format. So instead copy pas

It’s very important to qualify this with which model you are using. 3.5 and 4 are very different in the quality of answers they give, the version numbering is deceptive. As a side note, although I can’t confirm this it seems like the genera
