Inquisition felt like it was at some point supposed to be a MMO. The zone and quest design felt very MMO-like.
I couldn't make myself play through that game.
But that's the whole point. It's a gimick. Just like half the features on the cybertruck, which either don't work in reality or make little to no sense.
It was all personal use, just me, doing stuff for my business, I have no employees.If it's for your business, it's not personal...
I think the biggest difference is that children don't have mental barriers about those things. They just explore and learn, without any thoughts wasted about the usefulness, pressure or excuses not to learn.
I switched to linux a year ago and in that year had less problems than on Windows.
I had some minor problems after updates once or twice. On Windows i had to boot into restore mode multiple times due to Windows Update screwing something up.
The MS Store also constantly had trouble updating apps and games and i had to manage packages manually and uninstall and reinstall them so it would work again until the next update.
The times were Windows is easy to use and fire and forget are long gone. The decline in quality is noticeable.
The reason it's free is not because they want you to have it for free. It's heavily subsidized limited trial period. The limits are still generous enough to be useful, but that might change when the need for profit gets bigger.
It has all the signs of LLM-generated text.
The problem is that it's too expensive. It can technically do parts of my job for me, but at a variable cost that's higher than mine right now.
Ah, that's interesting, i had no idea. Thanks. :D
On World 6-3, if i use i.e. d3j to delete the 3 lines it deletes the current line + the 3 below. Vim generally treats commands like that as "do this X times including the current line", so it should delete the current line and the 2 lines below.
I think the reason to use and teach those keys first, is that they can be used in all the motions aswell. The arrow keys can´t and thus do not really make much sense in a vi context.
But those are obvious errors. What if the AI tells you to up your intake of X and it seems plausible? So you up your intake of X by taking some supplement, but upping the intake of X makes your body deplete more of Y and now you have a new or compounding problem.
A doctor might have never recommended upping X, because they would know what it does to your body. Or they might have suggested additional supplementation to avoid this.
The fact that LLMs are trained on all public knowledge is a huge red flag, because there are more wrong infos out there than right ones. Especially about health, diet, etc.
But for obvious cases like this, you don't need a second or first opinion.
This case is about handing a 3D imaging result to a text predictor and hoping for a valid second opinion.
Nightmare because the AI is just generating a random text that fits the question.
Gamepass was never popular enough to justify the expenses and investments on the level they did.
They just thought growth will forever be exponential until they have a billion subscribers.
I personally don't really understand the uproar here. Console games have been $80 for a while now. Most of them don't even let you play on release if you dare to just buy the "pleb-Edition" and want you to pay $120 to be allowed to play on release.
Do i like the premium paywall stuff large publishers are doing? No. But this one is comparatively minor.
Sometimes a game comes out that i would really love to play and then i check the store page and feel like if i just buy the game for $80, i'm automatically being shafted by missing out on so many things. It's weird, but it makes me not want to buy these things sometimes. It does seem to work, since all my friends usually go for the $120+ variant.
It will, but with the usual delay of 1+ year.
Those are the dark patterns.
Give a player that is hesitant a good opportunity to place a pretty much guaranteed winning bet and try to get them to cross their threshold. Once crossed, it’s much harder not to cross it again for most people.
I think it's a valid analogy in some contexts. Like when talking to a person that is not aware of non-determinism and hallucinations. Which happens on this website very frequently.
Many people here tell you to use AI like you use a calculator. With minimal or no oversight, with full access to production systems, etc.
To let a non deterministic tool communicate on your behalf, or give it access to critical systems is evidence enough that a good number of people are not aware of these facts.
I worked for some large corps and they all had one thing in common.
Tons of middle management that makes no decisions what so ever.
Everytime you ask a question, they delegate, until you end up at person 1 again and they just can't decide anything.
It's like they all have decision paralysis.
Would it be a human issue, if you type something into a calculator and the calculated result is wrong?
Would anyone use a calculator confidently, if the result was randomly generated?
Because you can spend your 100 billion dollars spread over 10 years.
If you build datacenters, you have to spend that money now.
They're also not paying amazon to order GPUs, they're paying for compute usage of whatever hardware they have.
I don't think it is more desirable, the iPhone Air has reportedly sold way below expectations.
That's a bit like asking 'Why is Harry Potter not a middle aged white woman?'.
Because writers of fiction don't have to write about themselves and readers of fiction don't always have to read about a depiction of themselves.
It's not. This is how the free version of Outlook that comes with Windows displays ads.
I'd argue that this is much worse in a different way.
Imagine the website the ad points to is malicious and manages to install or exploit something.
Outlook happily displays and opens this without confirmation, as long as you pay them for it.
Even worse is the back button. Scroll any store and click on an item on page 10 of infinity and then use the back button. Back to page 1 you go. That’s why I open everything in a new tab pretty much by default.
I just think there are far too many. Sometimes I just want to add a happy face and there are 500 variations. Then I find one which I think looks happy and hover over it for a second and the tooltip says “shivering anxious constipated”.
Since there is FinalCut and Logic Pro on iPad now, larger projects absolutely benefit from this.
