The author is more pointing out that these games don't look realistic. Look at the foreground of the HZD shot - why is it almost black in daylight?

I assume stuff like this is why some languages or script can never be deciphered

Well there will always be an audience that wants to hear what humans can mechanically pull off

I just think it looks ugly, and I don't want to create a product that I don't personally like. Totally open to accessibility and using existing frameworks but not Material.
Damn you're worked up. Some of my gripes with Windows come down to peripherals, where I'll spend a lot of time troubleshooting why my bluetooth device or speakers or mic don't work. There also seems to be no way to bypass using a password or PIN on startup without changing the registry. I'd like my computer to just stay on at all times so I can remotely connect to it, but what do you know, a forced update caused it to restart, and because it requires a passeord to get to the desktop I have no way of getting Parsec to connect. Yeah I tried to disable automatic updates but nothing seems to stick. Why is the mic on my PS5 controller connecting and disconnecting ten times a second. Ok let me just try to unpair the controller, oh it just... won't unpair.

Source on hallucination rates falling?

I use LLMs 20-30 times a day and while it feels invaluable for personal use where I can interpret the responses at my own discretion, they still hallucinate enough and have enough lapses in logic where I would never feel confident incorporating them into some critical system.

Re:Show HN: Obsess Jobs – Apply to jobs in your sleep on Tuesday December 31, 2024 @10:43AM (#42559362)
I don't understand why automated applications is unethical. If most companies won't spend the time to manually look at each application, why expect applicants to manually apply to every company. I don't even use services like those but I think the current system is flawed for today's job market so it's hard to even say what is ethical right now.

So wouldn't an aggregate, like an LLM, be the best tool here?

The browser thing is meant for security and privacy, why do you think they allow alternatives to all their other default apps expect for browsers?

But more than that, why are your arbitrary expectations any more important than their arbitrary requirements?

That might be "trust" in a relative sense
Re:Udio – AI Music Generator on Monday June 03, 2024 @01:04AM (#40559495)
Significantly better audio quality and better features like inpainting. Saying this as a previously hardcore Suno user.
This is fascinating, can you expand on the section about seeing the world as actionable items?
Re:GPT-4o on Monday May 13, 2024 @03:28PM (#40347299)
No it's not the same thing, the link for this submission even explains that. Anyone who comments should at least give the submission a cursory read.
Yeah apps like this are kinda doa unless you got a huge marketing budget

If you like a yellow background, I guarantee you are an outlier
You could do a reward system, like for every 1X educational content watched they get to watch 2X of the fun stuff
Almost none of what you said is true. Same scale? Tempo? Same beat? You think artists are just all using the same instrumental track?

And yes it can do odd time signatures. It can do all sorts of genres like art pop, cinematic scores, ambient, math rock, avant garde, baroque, etc.

I didn't think you could accelerate at all in a freefall (which is why you wouldn't feel it), you are just following a geodesic

Last week tonight is much better researched and has better writing. This wasn't very funny and had no real points.
It's clearly enough for many people. That's the only reason I use Affinity, although I do agree Adobe could change their pricing models overnight and they would be in trouble.
Sorry but VR will never die, its future potential is too enormous. It just has cycles of popularity and we might see a new surge with the Q3 being a very popular holiday gift this year.
Re:Swap OpenAI with any open-source model on Wednesday December 06, 2023 @01:42PM (#38547890)
This is cool, as a web developer I'm wondering if I should use it to build a chat interface that lets a user instantly swap models, maybe even mid conversation, and use their own API keys. Not sure if something like that already exists.
That fallacy's existence alone doesn't discount anything (nor have you shown it's applicable here), otherwise we'd throw out the entire idea of authorities and we'd be in trouble
Do you know the URL you used? Thanks for replying!
Re:Native JSON Output from GPT-4 on Wednesday June 14, 2023 @07:47PM (#36334494)
This is really cool, I had a similar idea but didn't build it. I was also thinking a user could take these different prompts (I called them tasks) that anyone could create, and then connect them together like a node graph or visual programming interface, with some Chat-GPT middleware that resolves the outputs to inputs.
