I mean the existence of stuff like Roblox, Minecraft or the aforementioned games shows there kinda is.

I kinda remember a female friend ranting the 2013 game a long time ago, that the first half hour of it is essentially a non-interactive movie, in which Lara spends most of her time grunting and screaming while she gets banged up and falls o

I'm sure there's a huge incentive in these studios to sell games to women, but women (mostly) aren't buying them. That is despite overwhelming evidence that women play games they do like, and play them a lot. So by greedy cap

I think there is, but if there existed a topic that was a kryptonite to women, its tacticool grey and brown 'dark and gritty' misery porn.

I mean Conan the Barbarian literally exists (by the authors own admission) because he wanted to write historical fiction but couldn't be bothered to do the research.

A point of contention with the article. Most women I know who played the old Tomb Raider games loved them, and preferred them to the reboots.

Personally what I find weird about this whole ordeal is that from my many years of interacting with nerdy (or maybe not so nerdy) women who played computer games is that there exists one franchise that combines the holy grail of complex gam

My two cents is that if it didn't, 'I didn't know that was illegal/breach of contract' would be a valid legal defense. Although intentionally saying things that contradict whats in the contract might be legally obje

Personally, coming from an EE background and not finance or statistics, I would go about identifying these patterns with an Signals & Systems toolbox, like systems identification, various matched filters/classifiers. This might be

Yes I agree. After a period of turmoil, there'll be a new equilibrium between attackers and defenders. Considering the new 'meta' that LLMs encode knowledge about existing software but not new ones, I would expect a side effe

> supposedly buying for their own use, rather than reselling? Do we know what they're using it for? I mean not reselling would imply the chips go on some OpenAI specific proprietary hardware directly, rather than it being sold back

Am I wrong that essentially what OpenAI tried to do is to short squeeze the memory market? What happens if they decide to dump all the stock they don't actually need anymore? Will half the memory industry run into the ground because of

Sedentary patients have tons of health trouble from lying in bed constantly, I'm not sure if its possible to grow a healthy human that doesn't move about.

It's interesting to see how the spots on these horses look different. I thought it was chimerism like in cows, but apparently it's extremely rare in horses, but still there are epigenetic factors in play. I wonder how much gene ex

While awful I would like for someone to explain what's in that 1.3GB. In fact it's one of my major sources of unsatisfied curiousity is for someone to show a breakdown of a memory dump of a browser, to see, what happens to those g

Sorry I meant to say that usually it's not always possible to clean the data if the data is corrupt in the first place, because it was collected in a buggy manner. And having a few inexplicable outliers in datasets can often erode conf

Not sure, but I have worked a lot on stuff where the metrics were often very easily convertible to business decisions, like expenses or income. Things like how much do we need to pay for infrastructure, how much money each customer/pro

What does it mean to clean the data? Do you remove those weird implausible outliers? They're probably garbage, but are they? Where do you draw the line? If you've established the assumption that the data collection can go wrong, h

Europe no longer can afford to act like it's in a privileged position, and one of the things it cannot afford is to spend exuberantly for the same results others get for the fraction of the price. And I'm saying that with the best

Data and metrics is 90% what upper management sees of your project. You might not care about it, and treat it as an afterthought, but it's almost the most important thing about it organizationally. People who don't heed this advic

You misunderstand. Nobody should be getting short changed (who doesn't deserve it). It's just that the difference between the cost of something that's safe and effective and one that is ensured to be safe and effective by the

I think one of the most objectively pathetic things in the world is trying to ride the counterculture wave against a thing, while shilling the exact same thing. Hey kids, you know how influencerslop sucks? proceeds to write influencerslop

Why cant you ship with OverlayFS which actually enforces these restrictions? I have seen the AI break out of (my admittedly flimsy) guards, like doing simply safepath/../../stuff or something even more convoluted like symlink

The weird thing about this is old Microsoft understood that ordinary users are not cash cows, companies are. Microsoft built its empire because of SMB and Active Directory, and other enterprise features, where actually these things are impo

It's almost as if AI's purpose is to shift blame, saying that the 'computer did it', in which case these deliberately unreliable AI systems are used, so that responsibility can be avoided, or smeared across the command c

And a very very true one. If the US military had maps at least the quality of local tourist ones, or Google Maps, they could have know basically the location of every ice cream shop, supermarket, school, and military building. I would say t

I'm not sure how true that is. Enemy factories and command centers don't grow out of the ground overnight. Nor do planes get maintained, armed, fueled and flown to the target zone in the matter of minutes. In preparing such an ope
