Wow that doesn't sound great. We won't own games anymore, we won't be able to sell/acquire used games, we won't be able to play disconnected. I'm curious whether Nintendo will be following the same path.

It's a trick; he will come back unscathed in the next episode.

Another take on the matter is: interruptions are inevitable, so reducing the "recovery penalty" is key, and can be learned. That's something that you learn to do when you have a kid: suddenly, your periods of 4 hours of…

Talking about monetization strategy, there is a world where we would not have to remember "Zillow" or "Spotify", and instead ask for real state or music related actions, and have OpenAI "decide" for us what is "the…
There has been a move in the past 8 years away from Java on the back end, notably to Go, by several large engineering organizations, which made the move, "motivated" by the example of companies like Google or by…
Yes indeed, you are absolutely right. Sorry about that.
Sincere apologies, I mixed ibuprofen and paracetamol. Ibuprofen is forbidden for pregnant women in the last 4 months in France at least - and by "forbidden", I mean "strongly advised against in a case of self…
Isn't paracetamol forbidden in the US for pregnant women already? It is in other countries
There is another _shocking_ realization in this work: there are 11 types of people: those who know what binary means, those who don't, and those who say they do but actually don't. "The era of 1-bit LLMs" Representing {…
It feels like civil international airports is the best place where dedicated embedded systems could be required for authorizing if not guiding airplanes to driveways.
Every way I look at it, Go brings tremendous regression when it comes to "modularity & composability" in the general sense of the terms. Package management, package definition, interface definition, exporting,…

How is that different from a minimal lisp?
By having IO functions taking an argument representing the global IO environment/state and returning it. That way IO functions can remain pure.
The point is not about ignoring them; the point is about using a construction with higher semantics. A loop is a label+goto in disguise. You have to look at what's inside to understand what the loop is doing; you can't…

Why oh why is that a backslash!? Over the 9 languages mentioned: 5 languages (inc. JVM ones like groovy and kotlin) are using `$`, 1 language (swift) is using `\`. `\` is a pain to type on many keyboard layouts --…
