I don't think that open-world design is that big of a factor anymore in the direction of modern games. It feels like that trend peaked 5-10 years ago with Ubisoft. It's been replaced by much more insidious trends.

As an old person, my take is that the business reality is what is ruining modern AAA games. To justify investing hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of people's time into producing a game, the game needs to be a global smash hit with a long tail. That means the game has to be a new lifestyle that a large group of consumers adopt, not just a game that they play once.

It's so rare to find a AAA game today that is a standalone game that you can just quickly play and enjoy. Sports games have become gambling casinos where playing the sport is secondary. Open-world exploration games have been replaced with "RPG mechanics" where you have to do the same things hundreds of times to level up, like feeding bad guns to other bad guns to make very slightly better guns, infinitely. Shooters have become online lifestyles centered around skin collection and gambling. The main exceptions to this trend for AAA games are 'system sellers' bankrolled by Nintendo and Sony who make money based on system install base.

It's hard out there for AAA publishers. There are scary stats like only 15% of Steam game playtime in 2024 was for games published in 2024. The most popular games by playtime are things like GTA V, Minecraft, Warframe, Counterstrike, DOTA, etc, many of which were published a decade ago or more. The market for a new game-as-a-lifestyle is saturated, and there are few new winners.

I think indie games are doing a great job of filling a lot of the gaps left by modern AAA games. But I also mourn the death of the "B game." Puyo Puyo Tetris I/II is a great example - it's not an indie game, but it's not an expensive game to release. It's a mid-tier release for a niche audience. This is the kind of product you don't see much of anymore, and what I miss the most.

Leaving aside common EHR / central database being orthogonal to universal healthcare, as addressed in sibling comments, having this data centrally still doesn't even make this as easy as you hope.

'patient complains of increased nosebleeds' isn't structured data you can query (or feed to ML) like that. It actually takes a physician having this kind of hypothesis, to then trawl through the records, reading unstructured notes, creating their own database for the purpose - you know, had/did not have nosebleed, developed/did not develop pancreatic cancer within 4 years, or whatever - so then they can do the actual analysis on the extracted data.

Where I think LLMs could indeed be very helpful is in this data collection phase: this is the structured data I want, this is the pile of notes, go. (Then you check some small percentage of them and if they're correct assume the rest are too. There's already huge scope for human error here, so this seems acceptable.)

Oh no, the website is brand new, it should be working everywhere. I'll have to dig up an older android, I should have one somewhere.

Languages below, if you know their alpha 3 code. Currently having some issues with Thai and Zulu though, so they're temporarily disabled until I have time to fix them.

I have not ~tested~ verified it for Latvian, I would be curious to hear your thoughts. It has been working pretty well for Maltese, Albanian and Macedonian though, which should be lower resource than Latvian!

As mentioned elsewhere, the first time user experience is abysmal. If you reach out though we can hop on a call and get you set up - or in a few weeks I'll have a video done and up. In the meantime, you should be able to create an expression (in the nav bar for desktop and mobile) fairly intuitively.

afr, amh, ara, ara-are, ara-bhr, ara-dza, ara-egy, ara-irq, ara-jor, ara-kwt, ara-lbn, ara-lby, ara-mar, ara-omn, ara-qat, ara-sau, ara-syr, ara-tun, ara-yem, asm, aze, bel, ben, bos, bul, bxr, cat, ces, chu, cop, cym, dan, deu, ell, eng, est, eus, fao, fas, fil, fin, fra, fro, gla, gle, glg, glv, got, grc, guj, hbo, heb, hin, hrv, hsb, hun, hyw, iku, ind, isl, ita, jav, jpn, kan, kat, kaz, khm, kir, kmr, kor, lao, lat, lav, lij, lit, ltc, lzh, mal, mar, mkd, mlt, mon, msa, mya, myv, nan, nep, nld, nno, nob, ori, orv, pan, pcm, pol, por, por-bra, por-prt, pus, qaf, qpm, ron, rus, san, sin, slk, slv, sme, som, spa, spa-arg, spa-bol, spa-chl, spa-col, spa-cri, spa-cub, spa-dom, spa-ecu, spa-esp, spa-gnq, spa-gtm, spa-hnd, spa-mex, spa-nic, spa-pan, spa-per, spa-pri, spa-pry, spa-slv, spa-ury, spa-usa, spa-ven, sqi, srp, sun, swa, swe, tam, tel, tha, tur, uig, ukr, urd, uzb, vie, wol, wuu, yue, zho, zht, zul

EDIT: I have tested it for Latvian, I know it technically works. I however have not had any Latvian speakers review it's quality

> So people have been arrested for posting something online, even if nobody appears to have seen it, and they delete it shortly after.

The message you are quoting is now being propagated,which is unfortunate.

Most of the western world is moving to a risk based legal system and has a proportionaly measure build in.

If the message in question had a limited reach, then it should not lead to a conviction.

Just like we don't convict people who has inappropriate thoughts or write inappropriate things in their diary.

Driving 10 mph above the speed limit on a highway at every opportunity will only lead to a very limited reduction in travel time, because you spend a lot of time breaking (i.e. to avoid crashing into law-abiding drivers, reacting to speed controls, etc.).

At the same time it drastically increases both the risk of accidents, as well as the severity of accidents when they happen. You also endanger not only yourself but also everyone else on the road with you.

Sensible road design takes this into account and constructs roads in a way that disincentivizes speeding and is safer for everyone. One example would be "lazily" meandering highways instead of perfectly straight ones. The broken sightline is a great incentive to keep your foot off the gas, most people do it instinctively.

"Ongoing driver training" on the other hand is burdensome and expensive for the individual drivers and will probably lead to little noticeable effect, as speeding is not related to "not knowing better", but to "feeling entitled to break the rules" (for whatever reason).

Why would a racist care for anyone of a race they despise and vilify? Being a child has nothing to do with it. Children become adults and soak up the values around them; so if they hate the adults, of course they hate the children. Why would they want their perceived enemies to be safe and have basic education? That just gives them more resources to fight for revindication, which is a threat to the ones who hate them in the first place.

None of that is right, but it’s not difficult to understand either. Don’t try to find some complex logic behind it, the reasoning is incredibly basic.

As satisfying as it can be to denigrate people by mispronouncing their name (I do it myself sometimes when talking about these people with friends), in a more public setting it's better to be polite and find ways to express your displeasure without name calling. Writing "Suckerberg" and "Suck" looks petty, not witty.

Not just luck. Self-discipline, structure, and sacrifice are necessary.

Living frugally, deferring (or avoiding) purchases, saving a substantial percentage, etc., was important for me.

Also, the world around us, changes.

In my entire career, I never made more than what some kids make, coming right out of school, these days.

The same for my father. He never made more than about $50K, his entire life, yet had a half-acre house in Potomac, two cars, and a stay-at-home wife.

this is very cool

i am also working with esp32 s3 but only write rust code

https://youtu.be/y2Hi9ThKcy8?si=yV8onefVb9o7MdHC

My goal is to send midi wirelessly.

I'm curious why you chose the ESP32? Because if you're working offline, the cost for its most well-known features - BLE and WiFi - would be unnecessary.

> any company which goes against the regulation will be breaking the law, and stopped by the regulator

And how has that been working so far?

> why we need both

What's your argument here? What is the cost of having both? You sticking your neck out and saying when something's wrong that wrong? You having to uphold your moral convictions?

If regulation works perfectly, you'll never have to do anything, right? But if it doesn't, then you provide a line of defense. So I don't see your argument. You can't expect anything to work 100%, so what then?

Let's be honest here if you believe in things but don't stand up for them when it's not easy to then you really don't believe in those things. I believe in you, I just hope you can believe in yourself.

It does really well, 95% of the time. The application was built to jump in at any levels - find a movie you want to watch, align the subtitles, see the most important words, create expressions with words you don't know, and the SRS should focus on the words most important to you.

For my Dutch (which was probably once a high B2, now probably a low B1) I only use the audio review when walking my dog or cooking. It plays the audio of the cards in a playlist, so I practice hearing and repeating them.

It's not so self serve at the moment, but if you get in touch I can get you up and running.

I don't know, I didn't spot the answer and it's from a list of hard puzzles from a chess coach. The model also wasn't told it was mate in 2 (or even if a mate was possible), just to solve it and it was white to move.

Although perhaps this is missing the point - the process and chain here in response to an image and a sentence is extremely impressive. You can argue it's not useful, or not useful for specific use cases but it's impressive.

The blue-sky utopian version of this for the Business side is a company shaped like a big Inside Sales Funnel, with all Engineering work implemented in off-shored cost-centres paid piecemeal at contract rates.

Steam had a flat-management structure and Engineering driven leadership from its outset. I'm not sure there's many other that can survive the VC landscape where customer focused design is seen as something between over-engineering and altruism.

These devices are insanely underpowered for running LMs. We've had pretty decent search long before the current hype wave. Postgres has built-in support for FTS in multiple languages[1]; if you want to get fancy you can maybe throw in a table of common synonyms.

Otherwise agreed.

Why would you need to run inference through a GPU farm for that? The wikipedia article on him is pretty interesting.

Funny you should mention him, I am very interested in his conceptions about the nature of reality:

'Planck said in 1944, "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent spirit [orig. geist]. This spirit is the matrix of all matter."'

In Germany you have to file an action for possession ("Räumungsklage"). But that takes years (I brought it on its the way immediately). You cannot act on your own, it has to be legally enforced. But the legal system in Germany takes ages and human rights are higher than tenancy rights (usually good!). This often leads to deadlocks where nothing happens because you cannot evict someone and put them on the street.

> As you can imagine, this is highly unattractive to skilled engineers who know their worth. No one sane wants to leave a high-paying cushy job to work for (not with) a bossy guy while battling the already intense stressors of Entrepreneurship.

I can relate to that. I am creating a small product and more than the salary, I want to escape 9-5 because I want to exercise product and technical agency that I do not have in my current job, and going from that to not have an increased level of agency working for someone, especially for a co-founder.

Soft deletes can be done in a GDPR-compliant way. But transparency is key.

The problem of course is that soft deletes are hard. As soon as you take sub-resources and relations into considerations, especially with shared ownership, things get complicated. SQL databases can usually handle cascading deletes and nulling but that doesn't work with soft deletes - also, if a soft delete exists to allow for a restore, how do you handle references you would null in an actual delete? Now you need to either track the deleted value or add logic to every query involving that reference to filter out soft deletes in addition to null references (which adds query complexity).

The Stasi documented what they did in quite some detail and most of the documents were not destroyed during the fall of the wall. So, there is no need for speculation.

I'm by no means an expert on the matter but as far as I know, the Stasi did not disappear political opponents regularly, at least not after Stalin's time. I looked over the article and didn't find that claim but if I missed it and it's in there, then the article is wrong about it. The Stasi had a large array of measures at disposal. Some people were cleared for moving out of the country to West Germany. Others went to prison. Some people were exposed to radioactive materials. Others got a better job that moved them away from other dissidents.

Specific "Zersetzungsmaßnahmen" you and the article mention were very rare - we're talking about an estimated few hundred to thousands cases in total. When they occurred, however, they were extremely devastating because not even experienced critics of the system imagined them. We're not just talking about switching socks and replacing good milk with spoiled one in the fridge. There were also cases of medical doctors prescribing the wrong drugs, for example, worsening the symptoms of diseases.

As far as I know, who became the victim of these special measures may not have been a fully rational decision. It seemed to be based to a large extent on the preferences of the case officers in charge.

Broader measures against critics of the system were far more common, however, and way more pervasive than what most people suspected at the time. For example, the father of a former girlfriend of mine was a famous GDR rock musician. He later found out from the archives that the Stasi planned and supervised his whole life and managed to break up his former band without anyone suspecting it. One guy moved somewhere else for work, another went to prison, and he moved elsewhere, too. There were also way more informants than he ever suspected. Basically, the Stasi and their informants interfered with what other artists he met, were he and his band mates got work, and so on. They planned over years. It went far beyond the usual method of giving people a telephone and letting them hear a loud click when the tape was switched on (they did that, too!).

> it seems very unlikely to me that using resources to troll someone like this provides an effort/reward ratio that would be interesting to someone with that much existing power

Nevertheless, this happened. The Stasi was a huge bureaucratic organization with ideology at its core, built after the example of the KGB. Stasi officers considered themselves fully in the right, defending their people against counter-revolutionary and decadent activities. Goals ranged from "helping" citizens get on the right track towards socialism in a friendly but firm manner, over collecting information about potential adverse political activities, to completely destroying enemies of the state and doing counter-espionage.

> Or you give them just the useful parts of the internet.

Implying you (or anyone) knows better what is most useful to someone else isn’t fair to them. What if the sites that are most useful aren’t included in the backup because of blind spots or license/copyright issues?

Saving a single page to view offline is simple enough for me, but many non-technical folks would struggle. A whole site? That is a bit harder. Most people could not do this outside manually crawling the site.

Web archiving tools that are easy to use and allow offline use also have a role to play that other tools can’t fill due to many issues that are outside developers’ ability to change, and putting archiving capabilities in the hands of users directly allows users’ fair use rights to be used to good effect.

Start by creating some expressions ("create" in the nav bar) and you should be able to play around with it. If you want to learn more, please get in touch. As mentioned elsewhere, I'll be adding a video tutorial soon (probably not this week, but sometime next week if all goes well).

I do love this, but haven't managed to actually try it out. ( I stopped trying and moved on)

But well done for launching (the following is not hate, but onboarding feedback)

Who else had issues about API key ?

1. What is a TMUXAI_OPENROUTER_API_KEY ?? (is like an OPENAI key) ?

2. If its an API key for TMUXAI ? Where do I find this ? Can't see on the website ? (probably haven't searched properly, but why make me search ?)

3. SUPER simple instructions to install, but ZERO (discoverable) instructions where/how to find and set API key ??

4. When running tmuxai instead of telling me I need an API key. How about putting an actual link to where I can find the API key.

Again well done for launching... sure it took hard word and effort.

Terman gets a bad rap because his father, Lewis Terman, was a proponent of eugenics. There used to be a Terman middle school in Palo Alto named after Frederick, but the bad association with the Terman name compelled them to rename it. Which is unfortunate because if anyone deserves to have a school named after them in Silicon Valley, Frederick Terman should be high on the list.

By having to defend your (thesis)/work like this, the whole piece is getting lifted into academic heights in a way, so you could as well keep calling its result and process research :)

What description would itself come up with, BTW?

When you anwer with "I agree, LLMs have biases.", I immediately suspect that to be an LLM calming me after correcting it, though. So, the world has definitely changed and we might need to allow for correcting the broadness of words and meanings.

After all you did not write thesis, scientific research or similar and I remember it being called researching when people went looking up sources (which took them longer than an agent or LLM these days). Compressing that into a report might make it a review, but anyway. Great that you assembled a useful work tool here for some who need exactly that.

In recent years, the Indian steel industry has continued to show a strong growth momentum and has become a remarkable highlight in the global economy. The types of Indian steel products are rich, covering a complete production line from raw materials to finished products, including galvanized steel plates, seamless pipes, high - speed steels, stainless steels, and cold - rolled plates. These products are widely used in many fields such as the construction industry, machinery manufacturing, the automotive industry, the aerospace industry, and the crude oil and natural gas industry. This diversification and comprehensiveness of the Indian steel industry provide strong support for its competitiveness in the global market.

Well, it is never easy opening up to people about loss from scam either by funds or digital/crypto currency, I decided to personally share my recovery story here to aid in someone’s recovery and wellness. I experienced Trust Global Group earlier on this year after a failed online investment with the sum of $190,000 on the line. Trust Global Group had been reviewed by most bloggers and on most reddit articles. I did not hesitate to give them a trial by sending them an email. Their credibility was astonishing, precision and efficiency. I had my refund within 48 hours of providing them the necessary details. Seek assistance from them if you find yourself in my situation or you lost your cryptocurrency. Give it a go. They have an excellent team of professionals who can help you get back your resources. You can contact them via email: {trustglobalg @ consultant.com} Good luck.

> The German autobahn infamously doesn't have a blanket speed limit and is about as safe as other European highway systems.

It's actually even safer: https://www.ncesc.com/geographic-pedia/what-is-the-accident-...

When roads are well designed, maintained, and drivers well educated, and within the constraints of a culture which consider the impact of one's behaviour on others, speed does not appear to be a primary contributing factor in fatalities or accidents in general. However speed is a compounding factor when accidents occur. Meaning it increases the likelihood of fatalities when accidents do occur for other reasons. Still, despite all of this, the Autobahn has a significantly lower rate of fatalities than other roads within Germany.

Ah, the forever cry of the crackpots. That's particularly rich complaint given it's a publicly editable resource. The only reason it could be in poor shape and "out of date" is because you yourself left it that way.

If that was a truly workable theory it would have verifiable predictions and compatibility with all prior observation and it would be eagerly explored. Scientists as a whole like to find anomalies and discrepancies; it is what keeps them in business. There is no "conspiracy".

“Won’t somebody pleeease think of the billionaires!!” - you.

As a side note, your disdainful tone is incredibly grating and will likely convince others to ignore your points out of principle, which should go against your goal if your goal is to actually change people’s minds.

But I suspect your goal is to feel smug and fake morally superior, as you’re not acting in good faith. So congratulations, I’d suggest some personal introspection is in order.
