No Man's Sky has such a range of possible outputs that in theory, nobody can possibly know how it works or what its limits are. That's the mathematical reality of how many combinations are on tap in that worldgen…
Now and then it has some thoughts about the Boer that would give that impression. If he's not a total fool, he tries to hide his obvious direct influence to make it be not so heavyhanded that it brings on global mockery…
If they did I wouldn't have had to go to DDG. It's not like it's a big jump over what used to be. I left claw-marks in Google Search, if they drove me off they're in trouble, because I didn't want to accept reality for…
You're missing a few words. To be correct you would have to have said 'if nobody's capable of hearing the difference every single time beyond a statistical doubt, does it matter?' You can say that and be correct, while…
That would be how you'd go about telling, sure enough. You can't go by 'frequencies' or distortions or anything like that, these analog departures from convincing reality aren't how digital failings manifest. You try to…
Hydrasynth aliases like a mad thing. My flagship synth ended up being Summit, and its oscillators are digital but run at a crazy high sample rate. Did likewise with some Chord Organ modules: that Teensy board it was…
Oh, 3/5ths of a citizen, surely.
You 100% can write them off entirely and go about your business as you previously had done. Ignoring the errors, it is very debatable whether there are even productivity gains beyond: human programmer or whatever is…
Worse'n crypto… which I would not have believed possible.
What if you want the world to be demonstrably better, and yet you're pretty sure the world is not just you? Does that count, or is it axiomatic that for every person, the world is entirely just them and they have no…
Landlords are slave owners? Gosh. On the bright side, who knew Hacker News was so revolutionary? Alex, how do you interact with AI? I don't, 'cos I don't use it. Are you one of the people who eke out performance gains…
In fairness, it's our Berlin Wall, and I absolutely would want a piece of the delaminating paint as a souvenir. The difference is we are so early into the collapse that the armed guards are still there. But yeah, it's…
What, all of us? I would suggest that Russia's proxy leaders threatened to invade both those places specifically to weaken US alliances and hurt NATO. So when did we become Russia? Better you should ask, should we…
I'm an open source developer. To me, it tracks that people can have other motivations and balance those with money/survival and all. What nikkwong is saying is, you can want to do well, have social obligations, take…
That's a telling detail. How many 'big time landlords' are in the position of living in one of their 25 bedroom units? I'm going to skip the 'share a bedroom' 'cos that might well mean something otherwise desirable. In…
And of course if 'jobs' becomes 'there is nothing a person can do that can't be more efficiently done by hiring AI more cheaply, plus you get to treat AI completely differently because AI is not a person' that…
An AI spat out a website and a bunch of text and some images. It says people don't need to know how to do things anymore, because there's a blue box of AI sitting apart from the structure of the actual company, and…
I think it's used as a stalking horse by outsiders who are really just trying to put across the idea 'candidate X sucks and you should shun them like they're poison'. I don't think that topic is treated like it's…
This is not the AI branding I would associate with medical technology. Oh hey look, I have the spleen of an elf! And my bones have a really nice cottage motif now.
My analogy for this sort of thing is always sand in the lettuce. It's amazing how easily you can ruin lettuce if it just occasionally crunches against your teeth in that particular way: you start dreading the sensation.…
Rather than 'smarter search or autocomplete', maybe the better analogy is 'flexible information lookup about coding that's more responsive to search terms'? I see it not as an intelligence but as a wildly, spectacularly…
See, that makes it sound better in my world: I'm doing all 'manually implement' all the time, and have no interest in becoming the ten millionth manager to hit the software dev landscape. It boggles my mind that people…
That sounds weirdly gendered even though there's no reason it should be. Are you getting LLMsplained? :)
You can be sad while acknowledging that the behavior's directly an epiphenomenon of how the technology scales :) Can't have the one without the other! It's part of that same technology, and it's fair to conclude that…
I'm an open source dev who doesn't take PRs, I just build a body of work that's hopefully consistent and leans a useful direction. Are you sure being a maintainer means coordinating a community? If your only role is…
