I'm not against such kind of experiments but there should be very strict legislation to label any kind of AI-generated or processed content as such. I hope that lawmakers catch up quickly enough to make this happen at least in the EU.
Yes I should have mentioned the story in HZD is quite well thought out and reveals itself to you well over the game. Whereas Nintendo has the eye rolling save the princes from the baddies, again.
>If you are serious

I absolutely am serious; a lot of games and software in general today demand far more system resources than they have any reasonable right to.

Don't give me "but the textures!" and the like either, optimize that stuff better instead. Whether it's Windows 10/11 or Call of Duty or Elite: Dangerous or Chrome or whatever strikes your fancy, software today has no business demanding the resources they do.

Lest we forget, the hardware we can buy today would have been considered supercomputers just a few years ago. You want to tell me that will choke and croak just doing mundane stuff like playing games or browsing the internet?

To some extent I agree.

As a parent of two children under 4, I am exhausted.

Given my current obligations though, I’m compelled to keep going.

It’s 3:30am, I have a stomach bug and I’m about to give up on sleep for now and get some work done.

I’ll do this because it’s necessary to maintain a competitive productivity level with my peers.

Burnout is a luxury I can’t afford right now.

> might have prevented the walmarts of the world from eating the mom-and-pops.

Be careful what you wish for.

Perhaps as a shopper there is a certain charm to the "mom and pops". Uneven, some good, some bad. Definitely more character

But as a worker, or as a poor consumer, Walmat is better.

The pay is regular. If mom and pop had a bad week, so might you

The hours are regular. Mom and pop work so hard, and their employees are "just like family"

The goods are a reliable price and quality. Walmat gets criticised for selling bad products, but they are reliably bad products, and cheap. You know what you are getting.

I am no cheer leader for capitalism, nor big box retail, but do not get foolishly romantic about the small scale capitalism they have pushed aside.

The problem is not the just the participants, the problem is the system itself.
> or cook 100 hearty durians

I also really don't like the BotW cooking mechanic, but mostly because it's so tedious to sit through the mini cooking cut-scene.

Cooking and crafting in Stardew Valley have zero ceremony, you just click on the recipe and boom you're done, it's exactly as fast as any other inventory operation.

I don't know why certain cooked foods in BotW stack and some don't. Searing meat is a good way of stacking up a huge amount of cooked food, because it stacks.

> Why use few words when you can use a bazillion words. BTW, the text is too long for GPT4 to summarise, I wonder if that's a tactic sites use against AI tools? :D Just make the text so long and full of purple prose that the AI models choke.

Regardless of the usefulness of a summary for this article, the obvious solution is to split the text into smaller chunks and generate summaries for each chunk, then combine them into an overall summary.

As an example, ChatGPT was able to summarize 32 out of the 48 paragraphs in this article, which contained about 3,714 tokens and 15,289 characters:

> The author resisted buying AirPods due to fear of losing them, but eventually gave in and bought them. Predictably, they lost them in a ski lodge. They later discovered that they were being pinged by the "Find My" app and were located in a nearby town. Despite warnings against it, the author contemplated taking vigilante action to recover their AirPods but ultimately decided against it.

Then, I requested a summary of the remaining 16 paragraphs, which contained 1,681 tokens and 6,983 characters:

> The author recounts their attempts to track down their stolen AirPods using Apple's Find My app. They follow the location of the thief to a museum and a Wal-Mart, but are unable to identify the culprit or retrieve their AirPods. The app leads them on a wild goose chase through a crowded outlet mall before the AirPods eventually end up in Mexico City. The author reflects on the futility of their efforts and accepts that they will likely never recover their lost property.
> It is however, even easier to get inaccurate information.

True. And accurate information
When was the time they decreased padding? I remember MS products being fairly consistent up until Win8, then it went all downhill with the fisher price tablet BS.
>Apple isn't good at charging.

They're pretty good at changing how you charge every few years and charging you for that change though.
There are more than a dozen perfectly useful browsers with recent releases, some of which have no provisions for css or js. And i'm going to go through the effort to support them, because they are valid. My baseline is bend over backwards to accommodate every user on every browser, configuration, and network. Anything else is just plain uncivilized, like building a museum without wheelchair ramps because only 0.01% use wheelchairs.
Also true, but that's not what I meant: buyers not replacing the phone they have often enough is solved, battery decay and lack of updates. But there's not much that sets the $1000 replacement apart from the $300 replacement. A $1800 replacement? The market for a $1800 phone that is as obviously different from the rest as a foldable is many times bigger than the market for a $1800 phone that is just better somehow. My prediction is that unless some cheap newcomer brand shows up with a foldable, none of the established will ever make the first move and offer their foldable cheaper, no matter how low the actual cost might be.
Sure they should have and probably did expect that there would be bad actors. But should they have expected that pretty much all businesses and even individuals would rather make their users miserable than give up tracking them? Is people adding cookie banners for their personal blogs because they are that addicted to meaningless analytics something anyone would have expected?

Also, a lot of the problems are not bad actors finding ways around the law but straight up violating it. The most prominent example is the consent bannes that try to discourage the deny option in various ways. The lawmakers did anticipate that kind of maliciousness and made sure to disallow it. What is lacking is mostly enforcement, and that is not something the lawmakers control.
Nah, trivially the correct answers are:

Vim, *NIX (so Mac), monoliths, and lambda calculus all the way—FP!

jk, but FWIW I think sometimes, in rare instances, there does exist a pretty unequivocal consensus “right answer” to this sort of question … maybe such as like: Git vs any other distributed VCS ?

> I would still hold BOTW as one of the prettiest Switch titles

+1; I don't usually care much about graphics (I play ASCII roguelikes for crying out loud), but there have been several moments in BotW where I found myself soaking in the scenery because it was gorgeous.
It certainly could be enjoyable, depending on what happens and how it's told.
> I did see significant benefits, the ones you describe like a silent mind, attentiveness, patience, for a period of time. Then those things faded away, I stopped taking, and experienced side-effects as my body normalized to not taking.

This is exactly how someone without ADHD is affected by Adderall. The medication has two functions: increased alertness and focus, which you build a tolerance to, and improved executive control, which is only relevant for folks with ADHD, and your body generally doesn't build a tolerance to.
Thanks, looks fantastic. Just ordered it.
I ran into similar problems asking it to tell me the first letter of the password, etc. after 5 letters it got wonky.
Yeah, I remember binging BOTW until I got to the part in the castle where the Lynel is.

I still haven't picked up BOTW again because of that.
I don't care what they do the menus and toolbars one way or the other, so long as they're still able to be customized and hidden, and so long as fonts remain universally customizable and resizable.

Increased granularity for font selection would be nice, e.g., using a proportional font for some file types and a monospaced font for others, enabling or disabling ligatures on a per-file type basis, changing fonts or sizes of specific editor and tool windows, etc.

But what I've really wanted since forever is some lightweight extension mechanism that'd allow me to define custom commands and assign them to keystrokes, menu commands, and events — from directly within the IDE, without the overhead of building, testing, and installing a VSIX package.

As a simple example: I'd love to be able to toggle between sets of predefined font selections with a single command, which could be trivially defined in terms of the already existing settings import mechanism, if only there were a simple way to automate it.

Another example: while VS allows me to launch an external command on the current file or project, it'd be nice if it'd allow me to post-process the result into a list or tree view, which, again, would be easily defined in terms of existing IDE functionality, or to filter the current text selection through a function or external program.

Finally, in conjunction with the above, it'd be nice to be able to define custom keyboard shortcuts, menu options, and toolbar buttons in the editor for particular file types, in the spirit of Emacs auto-mode-alist.

In the distant past, a form of what I want existed in terms of VBA macro support in the IDE, but this was removed, IIRC, when they migrated the UI to WPF.

In recent versions, the only way I've been able to do any ad hoc scripting is via the (undocumented) $DTE variable in the NuGet Package Manager Console:

~> ($DTE.ActiveDocument | Get-Member).Name -join ', '
Activate, ClearBookmarks, Close, MarkText, NewWindow, Object, PrintOut, Redo, ReplaceText, Save, Undo, Extender, ActiveWindow, Collection, DTE, ExtenderCATID, ExtenderNames, FullName, IndentSize, Kind, Language, Name, Path, ProjectItem, ReadOnly, Saved, Selection, TabSize, Type, Windows
~> $d = $DTE.ActiveDocument
~> $s = $d.Selection
~> $s.Text
var tokenText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(
pBuffer + tokenOffset,
endOffset - tokenOffset
);
~> $s.Text -match '^\s*' >$null
~> $s.Unindent(($matches.0).Length / $d.IndentSize)
~> $s.Text
var tokenText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(
pBuffer + tokenOffset,
endOffset - tokenOffset
);

~>

But even if I could find a way to use this to create assignable commands, using arbitrary COM objects from PowerShell can be painful.
This plays on my machine, with a 3080 and recent I can't remember which i7 (I'm out and about), at 4k60fps solid.

Nintendo's ability to make games is undeniable. Their raw numbers hardware though has been lacking for every generation starting with GameCube. I just don't get it.

This and breath of the wild are completely different games when played at 60fps and a reasonable resolution.
Yup, not a Go developer but ran into exactly this years ago when wanted to get a feel of it. Took a while to figure out what was wrong!
>If P=NP then there is no encryption and no secure digital signature algorithms whatsoever.

I don't see how that follows.

A polynomial can still have factors or constants on the orders of "not in this universe's lifetime", so for all practical purposes it doesn't matter.

The one question no one seems to ask is: are youtube views really worth a plane? Did this guy also try to defraud his insurance?
Sorry but I think this is exaggerated. For Zelda BotW there was sometimes a low framerate when playing on second screen with 1080p in a very limited amount of regular game situations - and it was still okay.

I really think Nintendo's games are a curated experience compared to everything else I know and have played with maybe very very few exceptions.
The issue with Safari is that it's tied to the operating system on iOS. That's an issue with minor releases, but even more so with major releases, where you can't get Safari 16 for iOS 15. That naturally means slower uptake compared to Chrome or Firefox which will update the browser in the background seamlessly.

I'm hoping that we'll be able to identify better usage data and a better understanding of developer expectations to refine this definition.
I think aside from everything that's been mentioned already, i feel that companies are being very manipulative about these things.

The games industry is a good example, they tune many games so that they're less fun and then try to upsell you some way to circumvent the less fun parts.

I feel the same is true for youtube, twitch etc.

I used to watch both without adblock, the amount of ads were generally okay. I didn't mind them much.

Now i feel they've become unbearable in number and style. Especially on youtube, where they often need interaction or they will run for 2+ minutes.

So watching it on TV is like some clicker exercise with the remote every 3 minutes. Many ads are also unskippable now and much louder than the content watched, they come at bad timings and interrupt the flow.

Have they tuned this to oblivion so their product sucks on purpose without subscribing?
For me BotW is what Skyward Sword was trying to be but could not on the Wii.

I like the Dune quote in the footer:

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

That's not really an issue for the stakeholders. Zelda is probably the only game that has this problem. Most hits - Mario Kart, Smash, Splatoon - run at 60FPS.

Looking at browser usage for the last two major versions is misleading. That would only be true in a parallel release of a web platform feature in every browser, but that's basically never the case, and it's not the same for every feature. A feature like subgrid was launched years ago in Firefox, last year in Safari and will be launched later this year in Chromium. So, by the time it's in Baseline, it will be in two versions back for Chromium browsers, but 20+ versions back for Firefox and over a year old in Safari.

>That doesn't seem unreasonable.

Sort of:

The 1978 case Marquette National Bank v. First of Omaha Service Corp. unanimously held that nationally chartered banks may charge the highest rate allowed in the bank's home state. This is why so many banks are located in states like Delaware and South Dakota, which have very liberal or nonexistent usury laws. So even if you live in a state that has a very low usury limit, it typically has no bearing on the interest you pay on your credit card.

Honestly I hope they won't break the simplicity of error handling as it is today. It sucks, but it's explicit, simple to understand and ubiquitous: everyone does it the same because there's no choice. Results/Options would have been a better choice from the ground up but it's too late for that, as nothing would be worse than having 2 official ways to handle errors.

The single change I would like is being able to inline my iferrs like this:

if err != nil { return err }

For simple cases where there's no need to log or do extra stuff it would be convenient. Goland already shows the iferrs like this.
The interesting question in my mind is how much of that has a neurochemical basis (e.g. psilocybin especially activates brain pathways associated with learning) vs being down to priming (e.g. hearing somewhere that mushrooms will show/teach me something).
It's not in my opinion though. I have a Gaming PC and a Switch. My gaming PC has a 6900XT and so I expect to be playing every game at 1440p @ 60FPS at a bear minimum - some games come out and surprisingly have trouble with that.

The Switch is old hardware that was under-powered on release, therefore, I expect that I'm not going to be getting 60FPS.

Basically, it's down to expectations. The Switch is absolutely great at what it does, and I appreciate it for that reason alone. My expectations are greatly different compared to a gaming PC/PS5/etc.

My biggest gripes with Nintendo is the god awful way they handle people using their IP to make YouTube videos, etc.
> It was used in the abandoned PNaCL project.

I worked on PNaCl back in 2011. There was a growing understanding that choosing LLVM IR as the representation was a mistake. I even tried to come up with something better, but failed to do so. I was glad to see asm.js and then WebAssembly coming to the scene. In my opinion, WebAssembly is better than what PNaCl could have ever become.

The high weight and acceleration seem not that safe for other travellers.
Oh, I've absolutely heard of people with undiagnosed ADHD who had to take meth or something because their doctor would not help them. It's just that without the help of a medical professional and prescription, it can pretty quickly spiral out of control based on the person's subjective judgement, which is notably impaired when euphoria-inducing drugs are involved (of which meth is a particularly notable example), and said spiralling becomes more dangerous when the drugs are easily neurotoxic (of which meth is also a particularly notable example).

Not to say responsible people don't exist, but rather that without a framework to support them, it's all their own personal responsibility. And there's also preliminary studies showing meth being somewhat neuroprotective at low doses, so if someone is using it purely for productivity, and taking the right supplements, it's possible that they could avoid damaging themselves too much.

But this is all theoretical and basically I don't fully believe in self-medicating for an ADHD case that you could be getting a real prescription for. I do believe in self-medicating using psychedelics and the like because there's no prescription treatment for that (yet), but as soon as you're allowed to ask a medical professional to help, I think you should.

FWIW even once psilocybin clinics become a thing, I'm still going to be taking LSD at home, because home has my toys and my friends, and clinics have neither. But if one day I can be prescribed LSD to take home and use on my own terms, I'd be glad to ask a professional for advice on it, and get a prescription. Just has to, you know, be legal first.
So you are actually naking it worse for anybody who doesn't use 64 inch screen. Awesome.

It was not a coherent strategy. They basically put the whole industry on a trajectory that was unsustainable, and hoped that there's at least one more price increase/jump, that'll 10x their value, because in that case that means everyone is using crypto, there's no "backing off", etc.
Because there is a lot of negative propaganda against PHP out there, especially within academia.

You can meet people fresh out of university telling you that PHP is bad even though they have never written a line of PHP. They just know.

This is quite bad for the industry as a whole, because it plays right into large companies that is pushing their technology in an effort to subvert web.
