Yeah, it is Germans for shooting them. Everyone else is a victim there. Blaming mom for arguing, blaming neighbours for not wanting to be shot themselves is just victim blaming at its finest.

It was Germany who created the situation as part of their quest for world dominance, it was Germany who trained their soldiers to be violent and cruel, who created the policies and it was German soldiers who shot.

Best artificial intelligence games to play

Many game designers prefer to keep the AI in their games straightforward and easy to control. However, some developers challenge themselves by creating AI behavior that goes beyond basic actions such as duck, flee, or fire. These developers aim to impress their players by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI in games.

While every player has their own preferred games, certain titles are universally recognized for their innovative use of artificial intelligence.

Each of these games presents a unique set of circumstances and serves as an example of how deep one can delve into the possibilities of machine psychology in games.
> LLM work in only one way: try to predict what's said next.

Yes, obviously, but it's still trained to say certain things and not others. And it does check an internal state, one that's derived from its GBs of parameters in its attention layers and from all the previous tokens; what it doesn't have is persistent internal state apart from the previously emitted tokens.

So it's not completely pointless to ask "why did it use this specific word or turn of phrase?"
For sure. Whatever happened to hired guns putting their hearts and souls into maximizing profits for the shareholders? I mean, not to be negative or anything.
That's true. However I also like to not mess around with any deferred functions that have to capture an error variable by name (named returns) or by pointer so that it can modify the error on the way out. Calling rows.Close() after you're done with rows is a simple 4-line addition that doesn't require rewriting the already existing defer rows.Close(), which lowers the cognitive load in my opinion.

Like you said, the performance gains (if any) are probably not going to matter when a database call is involved.
Surreal to me that people have nothing better to do than complain about how this is toxic, exploitative, sets unrealistic expectations for life, etc — instead of actually finding it inspiring that for less than $25 of medical products, surgery room, 10-mins of surgical time, and post-operation care — someone is able to see.

I have a smarthome or playing with it since more than 5 years (Mystrom, logitech pop, homeassitant) I ended up with the most simple things:

- sensors to control the lights: motion and brightness as treshold

- save power by reaching low power usage (standby) will turn it off

- a few buttons to make RestAPI calls to turn on or off when something is not controlled automatically: lights, power, vacuum cleaner

I don’t understand why anybody would use voice assistance. I never got it except rare situations to make a note:while driving, cooking. Everything else a sensors, a button or text entry use the smartphone is the way to go.
For normal commercial games there is a formula of how you can estimate first year and lifetimes sales of specific title:

Sales in first 2 months * 2 = Sales in first year
Sales in first year * 2 = Lifetime sales

Since DF is very special project it's will likely have much longer tail of sales, but most likely math would be about the same during first 3-5 years.

PS: I'm game developer and this is industry standard to estimate sales.
What is the boundary between "deepfake" and "photoshop" (i.e. regular human "fake" or edit?)

I suspect it's going to become popular for both consensual-deepfake of oneself (PR, magazines, actors, pop stars, any form of public speaker) and "bought out" deepfake (actors selling out their image rights and then losing creative control; dead actors, etc.)

The political-deepfake is really going to accelerate the debate over how much free speech permits you to just lie about people, though.

This is exactly why those things are dangerous. You get used to them and your brain starts needing the distraction and constant empty entertainment.

It's only when you stop using it for a few days/weeks, that you notice how much your brain needs that constant feed of stuff. When you get over that short amount of "withdrawal" and no longer need it as a filler of empty time, you can use that time for more healthy things.

Writing Decorates Knowledge
Do you believe that thinking is a physical process (that it’s embodied as or is the outcome of chemical/electrical activity)?

Do you believe that the initial state of all the particles in your body (including brain) exists? If so, what leads you to conclude that thinking is anything other than an on-going electro-chemical reaction that we’re just observing the outputs of and concluding that we’re controlling it somehow?
Yes. I agree. But it's a joke compared to what happened in Europe during the pandemic [0], when thousands of empty flights happened to secure their airlines landings slots. This could have been a checkmark in an Excel-sheet and did by far not draw the attention and ire of the public it should have last year.

Thats classic OR(experience, problem_OfOtherPeople) :)

no, joke. I read out, that you have problems with software architecture. This might be a key word to get you starting. I can't help you much here, except of telling my experience/thinking. You can also do study SA. Obviously, its not as easy, as one might think - if even a whole study can be filled with that topic.

But also, I think that still not the thing you need. SA can be seen as a kind of build-up structure of software, flowcharts, representations of functions, etc... for example, for communication of all the people involved in writing that software.

I think, one who's job is to write software, and not to design it, already do a kind of structure and software architecture in his head, by thinking in functions, methods, classes and imports. Without even know UML or other descriptors. So, this lead me into thinking its all experience and eloquent-ness in speaking that language.

Structure of Code / Software also does come from the "language" itself. Do you use libs? Imports? Or, do you rather write the whole thing into one large source code file? What imports do you need, what needs to be packaged into retail?

So this way, you're pushed into "thinking" what code to place where and into what module. This also very often lead to the need of refactoring of the code. Even in the "middle of a function" do some refactoring of other functions ...
I would say thats the agile method ;)

You could look up coursera on that topic. I wouldn't buy books, as the internet has plenty on topic.
You can also send the pcap to stdout and pipe it to stdin of a tshark running as non-root. And if you provide the right capture filters on tcpdump you can even have the tcpdump in an ssh session piping to a local tshark so you don’t even have to have tshark on the server.

Hardware codecs are complicated. See V4L2 Linux kernel API, it exposes hardware codecs without doing anything on top.

GPU vendors have higher chances of correctly using their hardware, compared to Discord developers.

> How does that info get there?

GPU driver package installs not just user/kernel mode halves of the driver, it also installs and registers these media foundation transforms.
They are DLLs which wrap hardware codecs into higher-level API.

The article is about Win95. It's now harder to ship broken Windows drivers.

There was this idea of "Friendly C" which in part would have brought C semantics closer to the concrete computer semantics. But it fizzled out before it really even got started properly. Regehrs "post-mortem" post summarizes the problem: https://blog.regehr.org/archives/1287

While there is a "group of C users who are unhappy with aggressively optimizing C compilers", they are not unhappy enough to put in the effort to define and implement alternative semantics.
24/7 Generative Seinfeld
Basically prisoner's dilemma.

I think the answer is inherent to the question of whether it's "justified", and the fact that you're being downvoted.

If Prisoner's Dilemma is played once, the optimal strategy is to defect. If it's repeated an unknown number of times, the optimal strategy is tit-for-tat.

Now, if you're an identifiable actor in a pool of tit-for-tat-players, and you have a history of defecting first, you're going to face opponents who normally play tit-for-tat start to defect against you first, too. In the end, you will end up as one of the worst peformers in the player pool.

So when you're asking if it is "justifiable" to defect in a game like this, it is the same as asking "will I be treated worse if I defect in this game". The downvote confirms this, I think. It means that in this population pool, bad behavior is punished (or people pretend it is)

Now, if defecting can either be done secretly or if you're in a popluation pool where everyone defects anyway, then always-defect is probably the nash equillibrium. In that case, defecting will be seen as justifiable.

Write longer scripts. You will very quickly repeat the mistakes for which we have architectured solutions. Then you can make informed searches to solve those problems.

You can also look at how simple applications are organized, or look at application templates to see where everything is.

You can also read about common software development patterns as they are answers to those common problems.

I don't have a specific book to recommend. I found that stumbling through worked a lot better for me. Write something simple and useful, and rewrite it often. It's very easy to keep improving upon something that you actively use on a daily basis.

If you believe in Einstein theory, yes. QM is a bit more complicated since there is the possibility you took all the paths that are out there. But let's not get into that?

> We punish people for doing the wrong things

No, we don't. Most cultures and countries just put them in jail. In modern times, it can be a psychiatric institution.

> even though they didn't chose to do them

No one care. People also usually don't care much if it's "them" who did these things.

> but the act of punishing them makes them less likely to happen

No, it doesn't. Crime rates are not determined by the severity of your laws but rather the circumstances of the country, families and culture. See?

> we give rewards to people who worked hard

No we don't. Reward are distributed most randomly but sometimes through privilege. Few tech and other people make their money by merit.

That's communism. It did actually quite well until it collapsed. It seems some countries have a bias for it, while it doesn't work well in others.
Maybe the title would have been better like this: "PROLOG: The coding language that finance forgot."

Erlang (the language) is rooted in Prolog, and many of its best traits can be traced back to this fact. That everything is a pattern, and you can pattern match pretty much anything is rarely found in other languages, for example. Elixir made a mistake in my opinion when it went with a Ruby-like syntax.

Also, there are those kinds of problems where in Prolog you can express and solve them in a few lines, in other languages you struggle a lot (and at the end you just reimplement half of the backtracing engine anyway - see Greenspun's tenth rule). Why it is not more commonly used in banking / finance is one of the greatest mysteries of life.
I think the appropriate way to understand blame and guilt is as social technologies. Who is responsible for some event depends on perspective. Any actor should assign blame, guilt and responsibility in a way that leads to preferred outcomes in the future, e.g. by selecting other agents to collaborate with, communicating rules or contracts and enforcing incentives. Different actors may assign blame differently and there need not always be an objectively correct assignment.

For example, in the story above, the argument against the Germans being to blame would be that the protagonist has no agency with respect to them being there and shooting people. The counter argument "He who did it, did it, and not somebody else" is shifting perspective from the protagonist to society, which does have agency with respect to the Germans shooting people.
