The game has a known, intentional bug where if you play it a certain way, your game essentially bricks itself. You run out of things to do or investigate and just waste time until the game ends on you.

The designers left this in the game as a form of punishment for people who don't play it in the intended way.

I try not to read up on spoilers or strategy and wasted about 5 hours in a game I was unaware was bricked.

While I can admire the craftsmanship of the chef, their choice to leave a turd in the cake for 1/100 people to bite into really soured my experience on the game.
What would happen if Meta and Google would say "As American companies, we are allowed to link to those news articles. If a Government thinks their citizens should not see those links, it is up to them to block their citizens from accessing our servers"?

My kids had insurance through their mom, because she made shitty pay, but good benefits. She lost her job and put them on state medicaid plan. Suddenly my son who has never had a cavity in his life needed 6 fillings.

I took him to my dentist who found a single tooth that may have a cavity but it's too early to be sure. A year later he's had one filling. And that one was not any of the teeth the other dentist wanted to drill. He flosses in public bathrooms.

They obviously was a cash grab and were going to just drill the fuck out of his mouth to maximize medicaid payments.
The problem is that even in streets with no risk for bikes (on way, low speed limit), bikes ride the sidewalk. And why would bikes have the priority over walkers, endangering them in the process? The weakest has the priority. You're ok to threaten my kid who's learning how to walk because you feel unsafe on the road? I don't see how a bike riding at 25km/h is innocuous for pedestrians at 4km/h. You're just behaving like a car driver, accept it.

I rode a bike in Paris for 3 years, and it's as hostile as it can get for bikes. Never had a problem,never rode on a sidewalk. Why? I know how to behave with cars. I stop at red lights. I ride in the middle of the road to prevent them from overtaking me dangerously. I'm speedy and I can keep the pace with a late taxi driver if needed.

This kind of reasoning confirms that indeed, bikers are not reasonable and bikes should be forbidden on sidewalks.
I was with you until the last sentence:

> There's an absurd amount of potential for LLMs here.

The problem is not that doctors are stupid, the problem is that a lot of ailments are just not easily diagnosed. Even if the doctor has one (or more) suspicions what the red rash on your skin is, there just aren't any tests for many conditions. Many diseases are only diagnosed by symptoms and the underlying cause is unknown.

And even if you get a diagnosis, there is often nothing you can do.

LLMs are not going to magically come up with cures.
Does "user content" include the audio or video portions of Zoom meetings?
It's also much more responsive than teams. They seem to optimize frame rate over resolution and teams seems to do the opposite.

Having used both I find the framerate more important as it's much easier to interpret quick facial expressions. But teams looks glossier which makes it easier to sell I guess.
While I think "everybody" is stretching it... the general idea here is accurate. From my memory, the first two "rounds" of good D&D games on the PC were the SSI games (Eye of the Beholder, Pools of Radiance, etc) and then Baldur's Gate. Both of those series, when they came out, set the bar for D&D RPG games (and RPG games in general, to some extent). If you played that type of game, you played those games (and likely Bards Tale and Wizardry).

To this day, there are quotes that live on from Baldur's Gate ("Go for the eyes, Boo!"). It has place in a lot of people's hearts. Had BG3 been bad, it would have been a horror show of hate for the developer. But it looks like they delivered, and the adoring fans of decades ago appreciate that.
I've jumped completely over to lemmy and am mulling writing a bot to replicate external content to my instance (from e.g., unmigrated subreddits);

My first attempt with Speak with Animals led to a somewhat awkward conversation with a boar, whom an absent druid had recently promised a mate. His "haunches" clenched and quivered with anticipation.

This piece really resonates with me. There’s only one piece of advice I can give which eased this problem for me: to not take it personally. This isn’t about you: you are doing a role for a company. It’s just business.
Errr that’s not really how it works. Meta sells ads and conducts business in Canada. They have Canadian entity which is required to conduct business in Canada, and must comply with local laws to be permitted to conduct business there
> Large dataset should go to a repository or a dataset journal, that way the method is still peer reviewed and the dataset has a doi and is much easier to re-use.

This may be possible in some sciences, but not in epidemiology or biomed. Often the study is based on tissue samples owned by some entity, with permission granted only to some certain entity.

Datasets in epidemiology are often full of PII, and cannot be shared publicly for many reasons.
Yes, which is why I brought up the disparity in the number of the genders in the population. It's that disparity which makes cultures unstable and violent.

Wikipedia having a higher turnover than Mozilla from contribution alone is a counter-example.

Meaningful work will become boring. Pick your favorite dish and have it for 45 days straight and you’ll desperately want something else to eat. Ok, so the counter would be that we need variety of work. But, you can ask someone who travels a lot for work and see if they like this variety of places to see; they don’t. They get sick of variety.

All of these discussions IMO make no sense to me. For every claim, I can find a counter argument. It’s just intellectual masturbation. No progress or insight is to be gained.

I thought this was a pretty interesting article on the subject:

This whole fear of being labeled a "conspiracy nut" for exploring less trodden paths needs to end. Calling people conspiracy nuts for looking behind curtains they shouldn't was a good tactic by various entities to cover up secrets and misdeeds, but it has spilled over into the non political arena and poisoned everything.

Humans don't have a full understanding of everything, and in fact it's quite the opposite, in that we don't understand almost everything. Almost all paths are untrodden. It's fine to look where others haven't and come up with your own theories and ideas, as long as you retain a healthy skepticism and back things up with data as much as you can.

Science and exploration should not use fear of social reprisal as a guide.
No, the one mentioned above makes it easier to not break clients. A language that exports an API without checked exceptions can change the implementation and break clients silently in production. A language with checked exceptions will not break clients silently, ever. That's strictly superior from a robustness perspective.

If, as a library author, you want to define a strict contract with clients that you never break, then you explicitly specify the exception signature and you don't let the exceptions be inferred. Then if the implementation changes in a way that introduces a new exception that doesn't match the client contract, then the API author gets the error at compile-time.
> Why can't Canadians open their browsers and type in www.news-site.com if they want news?

We can, I don't see what the problem is here either. I don't think it will lead to less fake news and less engagement though. People are addicted to this horrible cesspool, especially older folks, nothing you can do about that unfortunately. That ship has sailed.
I don't believe that's entirely accurate (I am not a cosmologist).

It says that because of the acceleration, MOND predicts Newtonian motion.

It does not say that you expect not to see dark matter, just that dark matter is not needed to explain that motion.

However, this is a problem for dark matter theories precisely because we expect galaxies to form in concentrations of dark matter:

"The infall of baryons acts to further concentrate the central dark matter. So the nominal expectation is that there should be plenty of dark matter near the centers of galaxies rather than none at all. That’s not what we see here, so nominally NGC 1277 presents more of a challenge for the dark matter paradigm than it does for MOND"
Your concerns about UBI are very dependent on the region and culture. In many countries, socializing at the supermarket is not common. Trying to strike up even a limited polite conversation would be a faux pas or worse.

But with regard to how to preserve social opportunities under UBI, I think the Nordic countries suggest the best approach. There in places of terminal unemployment where quite a lot of people are already on the dole, the state also offers a large amount of social and cultural infrastructure: libraries, concerts, clubhouses, etc. Sure, some people choose nevertheless to drink their lives away, but there are productive ways to spend one’s time. Conversely, I think things would be a lot tougher in countries like the US where everything is privatized and the decline of “third places” has been a trend already for decades now.
They may be referring to the version of Dark Alliance that was released a couple of years ago. It was pretty much a dud.
Would love to exchange notes on this if you're up for it!

For louie.ai, we've been going for data-aware from the get-go, and more broadly, doing a LLM-first tool design rethink. In the large, as I look around, it feels super early for the dev community figuring out core genAI notebook tool uses, flows, & assumptions. Likewise, zooming-in on individual feature experiments, current tools feel rough & underpowered relative to what we already know is possible.

We've been forced to question a lot as we've been learning from going operational and experimenting with design. Again, if up for it, would love to chat & exchange notes!

It's actually a pretty fun movie. It has references to lots of fun D&D history, including the old cartoon. I enjoyed it, my wife enjoyed it, and my daughter (who knows nothing of D&D and doesn't really like fantasy) enjoyed it.
This is a great overview of the origin of the RISC-V project and I particularly like the history of instructions which tracks back to previous instructions that were "kind of" like the current instruction. I suspect this particular set of articles are assisting the RISC-V folks hold at bay the various patent lawsuits they are clearly being threatened with.

One of the worst things about technology was that so many people focused on "If we own the road, we can charge EVERYONE a toll and get rich!" and so, so many, business plans were built around gaining exclusive control over key facets of technology. The idea that there could be an instruction set architecture (ISA) and related silicon implementations that anyone could use for free, is an existential threat to those who live on the margin generated by the licensing of their ISAs.

If anything can derail ARM's growing influence, it will be this. The winners will be people like Apple with the resources to have their own chips fabbed with their own extensions and put into their own products which can run rings around people trying to use "generic" processors to do the same thing. Could signal a coming resurgence in demand for "computer architects" (old skool type :-))

That is too simplistic. You underestimate the depth of academia. Sure the latest break through Alzheimers study or related research would benefit from a replication. Which is done out of commercial interest anyway.

But your run of the mill niche topic will not have the dollars behind it to replicate everyones research.just because CS/AI research is very convenient to replicate does not mean this can be extended to all research being done.

That is exactly why peer review exists to weed out the implausible and low effort/relevance work. It is not fraud proof because it was not designed to be.
Just fyi, typo on this line:

>it this case, it’s a built-in
> I get the impression that suggestions like these are written by non-scientists who do not have experience with the peer review process of any discipline. Things just don't work like that.

Not to mention that the cutting edge in many sciences are perhaps two-three research groups of 5-30 individuals each in varying research institutions around the world.
i am not doubting your words, but if it were that simple then we would not have all this brouhaha about RHEL clones not being able to continue. or well some of them did. there was one who said that they would be able to continue as before which would confirm that this is actually possible.

note that i am not arguing whether RHEL clones should exist, but only whether they are able to exist without anyone breaking any kind of contract. i do hope you are right, but the current public sentiment seems to be that this is not the case.
In Canada it will mean news from other places, including the US will likely directly or indirectly influence those feeds.

UGC (User Generated Content) could remain commentary about these news articles when shared in, but it would require consumers to become creators.
I'm incredibly pro-car but it's nice to have real numbers so the externalities can be effectively paid for.
I suggest you try a couple of her other books before you give up on her entirely. Rocannon's World, for instance, is far more plot-driven, and serves as an introduction to her Hainish Cycle, which is a masterpiece of world building, presented across multiple (only loosely-interlinked) books and short stories.

Overall, however, LeGuin is almost entirely unconcerned with technology - which, to the extent that they find that to be a significant draw of the genre, may drive away some "science-fiction" fans. (I've always thought the original name, "speculative fiction", is preferable.) LeGuin's speculations run more to the anthropological than the technological, which shouldn't be surprising, given her family background.
Yep, I acknowledge that is a possibility, but it would also lead to them having permission to display literally the entirety of my videonconf calls to anyone, for advertising purposes or some other purpose that only incidentally benefits me. That would be a strained reading IMO.
Especially the comment sections, felt like the first time people discovered trolling on internet forums.

I feel like dentistry in particular is one of the least rigorous of medical sciences.

From my point of view (patient), I feels like dentists base their treatment recommendations on how much kickback they’re getting from medical corporations (Invisalign anyone?) and biased papers.

I wonder why dentistry is so far removed from the rest of the medical profession on this. Not that MDs are immune to the above but it feels to me like it’s not as bad as in dentistry.
Seems to have been hugged to death.

But - a quick counterexample - as far as replication goes: What if the experiments were run on custom made or exceedingly expensive equipment? How are the replicators supposed to access that equipment? Even in fields which are "easy" to replicate - like machine learning - we are seeing barriers of entry due to expensive computing power. Or data collection. Or both.

But then you move over to physics, and suddenly you're also dealing with these one-off custom setups, doing experiments which could be close to impossible to replicate (say you want to conduct experiments on some physical event that only occurs every xxxx years or whatever)
For my work, I usually catch general exceptions and handle their aftermath, like putting the error in an error queue to be manually fixed and replayed or showing an error page. While there are domains like power plants or car software where every error must be meticulously handled, my approach suits my domain.

When I see code making me catch numerous unique exceptions, it often hints at an API design issue. A more refined design might encapsulate such information in a response, maybe through a discriminated union or an enum with a message. If I can, I'd refactor it to match this ideal. If not, I'd use adapters to convert diverse exceptions into standardized errors.

Exceptions should be exceptional: situations like memory shortages, database disconnects, or accessing a disposed resource. For these unforeseen events, control flow is typically the same as they're unexpected and beyond my control.
Well, my favorite stack based language was RPL on the HP. Simply because it fit well in the scope of the environment that it was used. It was really easy to develop and debug on the calculator (I know many did very large projects working with editors on the PC, but I did all my work on the machine itself).

It lacked any kind of composite structure outside of lists and arrays. No structs or records. But that was never a real barrier.

It was just a nice, high level stack machine with a cool library and toolset.
Negotiations don't happen in one step.

Canada is a lot closer to home, too. May happen in the other Americas too. I'm sure much more experienced and insightful folks on this might be able to comment, with or without a throwaway account.
It's the best of both worlds because an AI isn't a human - an AI learning from your private conversation is like letting a cat watch you go to the bathroom.

> no chance of forgetting to check the error, and works just as well as a stronger type system

A linter-based syntactic check is no substitute for a proper type system. A type system gives a machine checked proof. A heuristic catches some but not all failures to handle errors, it will also give false positives.
What makes you think they'd listen to the W3C if they said "don't do it"?

They'd likely just spin up an "independent" body to manage the specification and publish it outside of the auspices of the W3C. That's what the did with AMP, after all, which sits under the OpenJS Foundation now.
Who has the best tech in hearing aids?
I have been wearing hearing aids for about 10 years now and have always bought the Kirkland model for affordability. Since that has now been discontinued, I am broadening my search.

Does anyone know who has the best chips in hearing aids right now? I am looking at prescription only and by best I mean clarity, sound discrimination etc. With the advances in ML and semi-conductors the last several years I am wondering if anyone is out in front.

If anyone knows of any technical discussions they could point to it would also be appreciated.

This message, whether in the context of Bram Moolenaar or not, rings a bell. Academic education does not necessarily give credit to the humble and the team players. The top folks from school are not necessarily doing impactful things later in life.
Have you listened to Carroll on the subject? As someone who knows next to nothing on this subject, he seems to me to be claiming that dark matter explains a lot of things in the universe and is very established, whereas MOND is very fringe. The claims in this post, that NGC 1277 is not a particular issue for MOND, seem to ignore the general consensus on MOND vs dark matter. The post seems to be focused on a very specific thing which doesn't seem unreasonable to me, but doesn't change the wider context that dark matter is very established and mainstream, and MOND is not, and this single issue doesn't change the big picture. Is this a flawed reading?
City population aside. Looks like a nice modern place, with nice architecture. I'm sure the city has great pride in it. But costly and quick research (reviews, reddit threads) seems to point to it not being a great place to study/do library things. Popular for tours and to have children run around. Cool building though.
