Wow, judgemental much? "Just start" is a recipe for disaster in a siatuation like this, and I'd rather not set myself up for failure.

My enthusiasm about this particular version, that I had been looking forward to, waned quickly. I'm about to start the new project after I finish up my previous one, and I'm currently waiting on getting the design document. I'm doing the opposite of procrastinating, I want the project to be done smoothly and in a reasonable timeframe. Having to contend with conflicting information where almost everything I look up will be for 3.x and not applicable to the 4.x series is the antithesis of smoothly.

So it seems now that my choices are to go with Godot 3.x and end up with maintenance trouble in the future and not being able to make use of 4's much improved feature set, go with Godot 4 and have a much rougher development experience, or go with another engine altogether.
FWIG one materialist view of sentience is that it's an emergent property - it is a way of describing a state of a complex system.

The question, then, is: what are the properties of the system that the term describes?

In this case, it looks kinda like: memory, self-awareness, and understanding. Memory isn't a question - it's possible for these things to remember (even if sometimes that memory is in the form of access to data on the internet). Self-awareness is trickier - but by most measurable schema, the machines seem to be doing as well as humans do in this regard (they can describe themselves and talk about their place in the world in context). Understanding is a topic of hot debate - but I think it tends to fall to the same problems as that of sentience generally; that is, we have this concept of what understanding is, and we know enough about how LLMs work to say that they're not the same, but if you start poking at how to measure it, we're back to square one vis a vis what's apparent might not be what is.
I need a license from LEGO if I am making a film where in some scenes a child is building a LEGO set? This sounds quite frankly completely ridiculous to me and I have a hard time believing it.

Also the police thing does not really seem relevant, they are abusing the system but that does not mean that you are actually in violation of any rule if you are filming a police operation where some music is playing at the scene.
I've been using Linode for more than a decade. I advise hobbyists not to use the cheapest VPS option and neither do I. Its noticeably less performant and just because you are a hobbyist or whatever doesn't mean you can't spend $10-20 per month.

In the United States, people regularly spend more than $10,000 per year on hobbies.

It's crazy how many attempts at this have been done over the years. And it worked great in Adobe Flex, back in 2009.
The thing about language is that it isn't static, it changes over time. Sometimes a previously dominant usage will become eclipsed by a new one that emerges.

There's nuance to the etymology of any word of course. In fact I sometimes see the extremely online left try to (ironically?) appropriate "based." But I think in the context we can all figure out which connotation Elon was using.

If we're going to pedant about status codes, it seems like 401 is correct. 500 is a "server error" range, 503 would imply the service is down due to server side issues.

401:"not authorized" seems exactly correct for status page saying "I know who you are, and what you want, but you can't have it because you chose to disable your account."
I've always enjoyed explanations of these processes.

In college I studied art, doing mostly photography, and some printmaking. The processes of making photo resists for screen printing or intaglio have a lot of commonalities to the rudimentary elements of semiconductor construction, but there's one technique in printmaking that goes a lot farther in its parallels.

Photogravure is an intersection of photographic ( drawing with light ) and printing plate processes. A positive transparency ( sometimes called an inter-positive if made from a negative ) is used to expose a photosensitive emulsion applied to a (usually copper, sometimes zinc) printing plate. The emulsion is a "resist" in that it hardens on exposure, and once the non-hardened material is washed off the plate is etched to remove surface material from the plate where the resist has not hardened over it.

Once etched to the printer's desired depth, the resist is washed off. The grooves of the plate will then hold ink relative to their depth and width.

A printer may repeat the emulsion, exposure, etching (with test printing along the way, inking and printing to confirm that the image is as expected) cycle several times to build up the line quality needed in an image, often starting with the heavier line work or darker "ground" areas of the image and building up to the finer line and lighter textures. Alternatively, while etching, the acid solution may be washed from the plate and finer work painted over by a new layer of rosin-based resist to keep them from further etching.

There are fun parallels between inking and doping, but multi-color prints would be built up and printed from separate plates or states of plates.

It's important for us computery folks to remember that just because the kernel of a process is ages old, doesn't mean it isn't sophisticated or high-craft.

After all, there is nothing new under the sun, but if you can find a way to present something in a new light, that's innovation.

If the assertion that GPT-3 is a "stochastic parrot" is wrong, there will be an apocalypse because whoever controls an AI that can reason is going to win it all.

The opinions that it is or isn't "reasoning" are widely varied and depend heavily on interpretation of the interactions, many of which are hersey.

My own testing with OpenAI calls + using Weaviate for storing historical data of exchanges indicates that such a beast appears to have the ability to learn as it goes. I've been able to teach such a system to write valid SQL from plain text feedback and from mistakes it makes by writing errors from the database back into Weaviate (which is then used to modify the prompt next time it runs).

The problem is that a AAA title has a massive budget and takes hundreds of people years to ship. Most shops aren't going to want to take that kind of bet. Furthermore, if you're optimizing for your audience, the population of gamers with compatible headsets is still too small to justify the production of a AAA title that targets only VR.

That means you're no longer going to be able to take innovative risks with gameplay because you need to cater to the lowest common denominator, i.e., a single large 4K display and a controller. So we're left with VR support being a bolt-on second thought.

The latest Gran Turismo title did it correct. They designed the game from the beginning knowing that Sony was going to release a new headset. When that headset was released last week, their game was nearly 100% playable with it, and it completely changed how people experience the game.
I had some personal projects a while ago that I used to run on Linode, I later moved them to LightSail and I never noticed any performance difference in these projects running there.

These were Ruby on Rails projects.

> the developer experience is horrible

This might be true, but it's still the best developer experience in that space by a mile. ROCm (AMD), oneDNN (Intel), OpenVINO (Intel), OpenCL (open) and all the silicon-specific tools are always bad.
My first instinct would indeed be that attaching to a stream would be analogous to tuning your TV to a particular channel, and this m3u is a channel list.

Of course, lawyers always make it complicated.
Almost certainly true but the idea that the world is made safer by Cyberdyne open sourcing lots of it's dangerous technology and probably spawning many more mini-Cyberdynes strikes me as extremely naive.
XSS vulnerabilities on the web are massive. The entire web security model is based around trying to restrict them, and that comes with downsides that limit capabilities.

If prompt injection is "only" as serious as an XSS attack, then that would be enough to upend most of the thinking we have today about how we'll be able to wire LLMs to real world systems.
Apple has enough cash on hand to buy 1/3 to half of Qualcomm but the government would likely shut that down quite quickly.

None of that introduces bias - that is how the system is designed to work. My car has automatic cruise control that turns off in the rain. It does that FOR safety, not to boost any statistics.
Is that a “copyright law is unsalvageable, screw it, do crimes” that I’m hearing? I am not ... unsympathetic to that viewpoint. Until I come across any evidence at all that the SD license was written with it in mind, though, I can only believe that they meant what they wrote (or others did at their behest), and that they really did want to prohibit uses they don’t like on pain of civil and criminal prosecution. That’s a stance the current legal realities permit, but I cannot with a straight face associate it with FOSS.
Quite awkward to install on NixOS though, given the way PureRef wants to be downloaded.

I agree that friction is the problem. My wife was incredibly frustrated trying to set up our Quest 2 after I wiped it for her, but once set up, we hung out in Horizon Worlds and she ended up staying there an hour longer than myself because she was talking to some other woman with young children.

VR/AR is a really hard thing to sell because you don’t know what you can experience until you experience it. And you don’t see how revolutionary this will be until you really start playing around with it and trying to integrate it with your life.

In case it's also not clear to others: "high", "moderate", and "low" refer to utility in learning.
I'm not really a gamer. I might play Diablo 3 on a Switch just to smash things up, but that's very casual. Wearing a VR set just for a casual gaming session doesn't seem to be very worth it, while wearing it for a workout has a much better pay off.

I wonder if most people buying and consistently using the Quest are for non gaming (primarily fitness) reasons.
If it can’t strictly play valid movies then it isn’t modeling the game.

Instead it’s modeling something else which is somewhat related to the game. Aka someone playing tick tack toe who moves on top of their opponent’s move isn’t playing tick tack toe.
Data point of one, but my R1T is by far the best vehicle I've ever owned. Rooting for them.
Yay just came here to vent - the writing was on the wall since the Akamai deal. Of course it didn’t take long for them to start milking the Linode cow.

My node is pretty cheap, it will go from $23/month to $28 or so. Between this and the disappearance of yearly plans (which had a discount over paying monthly) my Linode bill has increased quite a bit over time.
I'd like to point out that this comment is an assumption and isn't backed by any hard data.

Anecdotally, I'm a hobbyist and I've had to use higher price tiers throughout my entire time with Linode. The low-end VPS instances are insanely limited if you're looking to accomplish any sort of real work.

Turnstile (https://www.tryturnstile.com) | REMOTE (US/Canada) | Engineering | $155k-250k salary + equity

---

We're a small (16-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building a usage-based revenue platform that helps SaaS companies price however they want. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — most of us have 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Backend Technical Lead (data)
- Frontend Technical Lead
- Frontend Engineer
- Fullstack Engineer
- others (opportunistic)

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm Mike, one of the founders— if interested, apply here (https://tryturnstile.com/about) and mention this post.

I would qualify as a high engagement user and I have a similar problem. I have only found a few games that really captured my interest intensely. I’ll play them for a couple of weeks, hit the end of their meager amount of content and replayability, then drop the headset in a drawer for a month or two till I hear of another title that sounds worth trying.

And there are some great titles. I was playing Compound late last year and now I’m playing Barbaria. Compound especially really blew me away, like a VR doom. But then I beat it on the hardcore difficulty and that was that. After a couple weeks of playing Barbaria I’m ranked in the top 100 of players and about to drop it.
