That the Nobel Peace Prize is not a serious award should have been evident when Obama won it.
Because governments, like almost all entities, are beholden to budgets and accounting which incentivizes low spending. So you get lowest-bid contractors. On top of that, Europe (and especially France, IMO) isn’t real comfortable with foreign tech solutions at the moment.

I’d say when I travel I rely on Google maps. Without it, yes it is still possible to find your ways but it is so much easier using those maps on the phone especially in non-English areas.
I remember watching a conspiracy documentary about exactly this, some 10 years ago. I remember it being a mix of the Nibiru / Planet X conspiracy theory and some super wacky shit that was really out there. According to the documentary giants, vampires and such used to roam the Earth before a devastating nuclear war with the Nibiru from Planet X devastated the Earth thousands of years ago.

One image in the documentary struck me: It was an archaeologist, digging out a skeleton of a giant somewhere in the middle east. I google-reverse-image-searched it and found out the image got 2nd place in an online photoshop contest under the theme "archaeology". 1st place was an Egyptian toomb with hieroglyphs with modern corporate logos mixed in (McDonalds in hieroglyph form).

This is something that archive.org has had for a looooong time for many games.
And valve will throw out the resulting game.

Justifications aside, it was depressing seeing how quickly the AI gamedev movement ground to a halt. I’ve been waiting patiently for 4 years now. And now that the moment is here, it’s impossible for any serious gamedev to pursue it without committing financial suicide.

Bah. At least such things tend to work themselves out over decades. The next few generations will look back on us and wonder why we dragged our feet for so long.

As the owner of a Nissan Leaf: welcome to my world. BTW I don't mind that much. It's a fantastic car for short-to-medium drives. In some ways I like it better than my Mini which I had and loved for 13 years. But for anything longer ... no. The rarity and slowness of ChaDeMo charging makes that a no-go. Fortunately we have my wife's car for longer trips, and in a couple of years might be able to replace that with whatever's the Latest Greatest in EVs by then. Probably go solar (plus wind if the tech is there by then) at the same time.

(Yes, I considered the electric Mini at the time. Thought the range was laughably short. In 20/20 hindsight I now think it would have been just about perfect for me.)

One niggle I have is the departments’ over-use of forms (from my perspective) in employing the ‘landing page’ pattern.

E.g. if you search ‘DVLA vehicle information’, you will land on this page https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla and you have to click ‘Start Now’ to get the page you actually wanted. The same is for logging in to HMRC Personal Tax

Oh, they went ahead and made that mandatory? I heard all sorts of rumors about that for a while before I left.

When I was there, you just had mandatory security trainings (fine) and the Orwellian "Corporate Message Certification", where every team in the company — including engineers — were supposed to memorize the Corporate Message (a 15-slide-long sales-pitch deck) and be able to recite it to each other, that came paired with lots of preamble about how this was so that you could be adequately prepared to evangelize Salesforce to your friends, loved ones, fellow transit passengers, and other random bystanders.

Definitely not a cult or anything though. Totally.

(and none of the teams I was on ever bothered to memorize that crap; we just booked a meeting, expensed lunch, skimmed through the slides so we could say we did it, and kept running counts of how often each stupid buzzword was used).

Man, I'm _so_ glad to be gone from that place.

i believe this may be possible due to the different culture in japan. if you watch japanese tv you will see a lot of ridiculous (to us) game shows and other very entertaining productions.

and while japan does have a culture of obedience, it only takes the top japanese executives to say that japanese culture is different and so they should be allowed to continue.

stopping those fun projects elsewhere in google is a bit harder to understand but i guess that while the other regions have less of an obedience culture, i think at least the west has more of a "work is not a joke" culture, and so those that don't like these jokes are probably just a majority or even a strong enough minority with support by higher ups at various levels of the hierarchy that pushed out the fun parts with at least some support at any level.
e-Voting is something that IMO can never be done safely, and pretty much everyone else I know in the CCC agrees.

Probabilistic Machine Learning – An Introduction (Kevin P. Murphy, 2022)
Everyone I know have given up using SMB long ago. Techies use SFTP, non-techies use cloud services (including those self-hosted in companies intranets as well as Google Drive and competitors) and apps, some use WebDAV for some cases it suits Ok.

And I have never seen anybody using NFS (despite it seeming quite popular according to its mentions on the web). I looked at it as it sounded interesting but gave up the Idea once I found out it does broadcats - I wanted file servers to be passive and only respond to direct requests.

Regarding Microsoft - they say they are updating SMB to use QUIK for sake of eliminating the need in VPNing access to remote shares thanks to its encrypted nature (as I understood, they previously meant WebDAV to be used instead of SMB for VPNless remote file sharing). Nevertheless I doubt many people are going to find courage for exposing company file servers running Windows directly to open Internet without using a firewall and a VPN.

The US does have a pretty weird relationship with sexual topics though.

Being one of the most prolific porn (and especially family porn) producers, really sexualised advertising and media, yet going batshit crazy when a nipple is shown on TV. The hyper aversion to LGBT topics in some areas. The Don't ask, don't tell, the bans on education on LGBT topics.. I find it really strange how these extremes can be reconciled.

PS: I am not the person you replied to though, but it does all surprise me a lot. Where I'm from there is less moral upheaval about these topics, more of "as long as you're having consensual adult fun it's great".

However I do see part of this mindset blowing over. Especially in terms of hate against transsexual people (like what's also seen very strongly in Floriday). I have many trans friends so it bothers and worries me.

I don't have that problem but using wine or even spinning up a VM is always an option. My advice is to choose something more open though, almost everything has an alternative and even when the user experience is worse the freedom is worth it.

Paraphrasing: There are 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, each galaxy contains approximately 100 billion of stars. It takes 100s of thousands years travelling at the speed of light to get from one end of the galaxy to the other. It takes 100s of millions to billions of years to get from one galaxy to another. And all those galaxies are moving away from each other at mind boggling speeds 73 kilometres per second.

It’s humbling. And we kill each other for silly reasons. We are so significant, yet so insignificant.
I typically belong to the bucket of users who have a working iPhone that does not support the latest major iOS release (iPhone 7), but still get Apple's security updates.

You can probably still make it faster by avoiding libc and using syscalls directly. From looking at the final perf output, it looks like there's some overhead from using libc functions
Yes, I think that is a reasonable way to think about it, in my opinion. However, with the language modeling objective it predicts the next token and because of the residual connections each intermediate layer is in the same space. So, maybe it would be more accurate to say that it is an increasingly accurate representation of the next token.
I don't understand how OpenAI thinks they could stop that from happening.

From the time you arrive at a departure airport, to the time that you arrive at the destination airport, is general considered “paid” (non-exempt) travel time.

However, to my knowledge, there is no federal law that an employer is required to reimburse you for any of your travel-related expenses. (Which is, in itself, ridiculous.)

This only works with some malloc implementations. There are platforms where this will result in quadratic behavior, so don't do this if you want to write portable code.
I worked at a place (early '90s) where the server room was full of (some sort of) Sun machines and a legacy Symbolics Lisp machine. One day the server room's aircon failed and the Sun machines started to die for no obvious reason. The Symbolics was the only thing with a thermometer and its console error messages (complaining about the heat) were the clue that revealed what was going on.

Although it was the size of a fridge itself.

Anthropic: Decomposing Language Models into Understandable Components
Game dev for online game here and genuinely curious.

I have to work with online servers, regular testing, analyzing bugs in both client and server (python), troubleshooting, adding new features to client (written in C# for iOS and Java for Android).

In practice, what is the best way I could use ChatGPT in game development? How can it realistically test the game and troubleshoot issues, how can it implement new features?

These things require making changes to code, compiling, running the client and testing how it plays and looks. Everything has to be extremely precise.

Any ideas?
