>A simple RNN with a single hidden layer"

This applies everywhere, but especially if you are making a teaching tool... Spell out the damn acronyms/initialisms!

I shouldn't have to look at the last square, "Deep RNN", to piece together the what the first square, "RNN", means.
Related to UI but not exactly on density. Even Refilling a prescriptions from Wallgreen's seems to have become impossible from a smaller phone such mine - IPhone SE2020 - since the control to choose the pharmacy or add a zip code for searching one is not actionable, the interface automatically scrolls down and when I drag the page I can see that it's there but there's no way to access it. It appears to be some kind of React garbage optimized for larger screens but completely and utterly broken on slightly smaller ones. It's not that I have anything against the technology itself but it broke basic functionality of yesteryear that just worked. And to what avail? All seems broken and ugly these days. And this isn't even about looking under the hood and analyzing the waste this wave of technology has brought. Where are we heading to? Is everything about to get worse and worse? Who is benefitting from all this because the user isn't...
Oh believe me, we know very well how to praise high-quality work. See the comments on cosmopolitan for example: something people considered so difficult that almost impossible but thanks to someone's untired efforts it become not only possible, but actually useful!

When XP finally got killed, I set my dad up on Ubuntu LTS with MATE and he ran that way for many years with no issues. Occasionally hardware would fail (like the soundcard) which I would replace with a USB option. All in all though it was great for him. A couple years ago Ubuntu started demanding a "Pro" account/license (which shouldn't have been needed, it was the most recent LTS at the time) and making updates a pain for him, so I switched him to Gnome on Fedora (same setup I use) and it took a few minutes of orientation, but now he absolutely loves it. Absolutely I would recommend Linux instead.

Hey, one of the creators here.
As mentioned in the post, TestGen-LLM (by Meta) focused on Kotlin, and the prompts were very Kotlin-oriented.
In Cover-Agent (by CodiumAI) we tried to reimplement Meta's work, and stay mostly similar to the original implementation, although we did a bit improved the prompts. But it isn't generic enough.
We believe we know how to improve generality, as we did with our PR-Agent, and here is a rough plan:

This is part of the reason why I drive an older car. No internet connectivity, mostly analog, and easy to fix when things go wrong.

I hope this is the last car that I own, not just for privacy reasons, but because I just don't want to be dependent on a car for financial, health, ecologic, and social reasons. I've lived without a car before and relied on rentals and rideshare when I needed them, and saved a ton of money. I'd rather go back to that life than to be required to choose between only bad and expensive options for transporting myself and my loved ones.

And even then it's user/domain specific. What is salient for a user who's an occasional user of your software vs someone who uses your software professionally every day is very different. You stop having to tune for a visual language that's universal-ish and instead have the ability to build-out a denser set of metaphors.

The "design needs to be understandable by the person writing the check who will never use it" problem is all over enterprise sales leading to software that doesn't need to look like $trendy_consumer_app but has to anyway to get the sale.
Depends. Someone needs to be held Accountable. It would reflect the government. If the government sucks, then social media is probably only one of many things that could be corrupted. It's a lot more likely that corrupting the legal system would be more destructive.
What an excellent summary of the CAD kernel landscape.

Favorite quote from this:

SO true!
I think that extreme outliers like Flappy Bird (which the developer developed over a couple of days and probably didn't expect any significant return) just muddle these discussions. They're irrelevant if you want to suss out what happens in the usual case.
>limiting Chinese influence and trying to control the narrative about international conflict

I think those are two sides of the same coin. If you read the whole quote in context[1], it seems equally likely that he was trying to imply that tiktok (the platform, not just the userbase) has a pro-palestinian bias, possibly due to the Chinese government. If it's the users who pro-palestinian, it would make little sense to ban the platform, because those users would still be pro-palestinian and migrate elsewhere. Reddit has a similar pro-palestinian bias, but it hasn't attracted similar scrutiny, presumably because no one suspects it of being controlled by the chinese government.

She should be humbled to have been selected. If AI is going to do one thing, its going to be the dethroning of the Hollywood elite. If a regular person had their voice cloned, it would not be news. The only reason it is news is because she is rich and powerful.

Celebrities need to get used to the fact that they will soon be no more important to a corporation than any other rank and file employee. AI is already able to conjure up whatever voices and personas we need at the ready and make the concept of actors all but a thing of the past.
>If you can speak without speaking then how does Section 230 come into play? If platforms can speak and have opinions and affect public opinion then whey do they get Section 230 protections?

Section 230 exists specifically to allow platforms to "have opinions and affect public opinion." Liability resides with the accounts making the content, not the platform. It would be impossible to have any degree of free expression on the internet if platforms were legally liable for everything posted there, or if they could be sued over every moderation decision they make.

>It raises a lot of questions that we have put off answering.

We haven't put off answering anything. We have the answers. Platforms are allowed to moderate content. They're allowed to filter and present content in whatever way they want. They're allowed to have a bias. There is no gray area here, no matter how badly people want there to be one.
Does it though? You weren't able to find statistics of the adoptions you mentioned ;)

Sure, WE can exercise good browsing hygiene... but what about someone who's the victim of domestic violence and don't have that option? Or kids who aren't technical and need to raise a major issue. Or an older grandma who hasn't owned a computer in years.

It's very easy to say "just do X, just do Y" when you're not in their shoes and only talking in these abstract "EHHH, 99% is good enough." terms

I hope some day you can see where I'm coming here, but I'm not holding my breath. Good day.
> Everybody benefits from infrastructure even if they don't use it directly.

...therefore, by definition, any infrastructure project is to be considered "worth it" and should be welcomed by everyone in the community. To be against government rollout of infrastructure is to be against everybody's best interest, right?

I'm not against government-provided services across-the-board. But apologists for infrastructure spending often seem to make this argument as if it's the last point to be made. The great thing about a private company "overcharging" or "underserving" a community is that citizens aren't forced to be in a relationship with that company for their services. That's not the case for infrastructure spending by the local government. It's much harder to vote with your feet than to vote with your wallet.

The fine line to walk with government spending is to find a way to incentivize competition in the local marketplace, without destroying it in the process. It's not an easy problem to solve.

Musk has always been a "hit and run" manager - he would give a task to a team, pull a deadline out of his ass, and go do something else.

The only reason to "save"* the environment is so that people can keep peopling. Think of the waste in making a movie -- to me 100% dead weight (I have no interest in movies) but to other people definitely worth it. Who am I to decide what's a waste, in this regard?

Yes and no. I've done a lot of reading from people that have done a lot of research about this.

In general, the revenue you make from a game seems to be related to it's production value.

Again, literally not true because of how big sites that aren't steam for those games are, and how many games are being made and how much they sell on steam.

Yes obviously no one is saying elden ring will have pornography, but there are a lot of games that did sell or would sell more with more romance and to a stronger extent sex stuff in them.

For example take an RPG, like Witcher, Cyberpunk, etc. They skirted the line but it's obvious that people want to get to that point in the in-game relationships, it is what it is, it might offend certain people but fact of the matter is, I don't think the people offended are a majority.

You can always have that content as a DLC and sell it separately and or to block it from countries that don't allow it, but let's not pretend like it doesn't sell.
Velcro tape. Super handy. Along with being in essence a two-sided tape, it also fits into a re-usable, removable niche that becomes very useful. For instance, my Steam Deck's Dock is hooked up to an HDMI cable that is heavy and tends to pull it off of where it lives, but I also want to remove it sometimes. Velcro solves both problems.

Don't underestimate its strength. My father was a brake tester for a car company when PC laptops started to become practical to mount in the cars for instrumentation. Someone tasked a mechanic to mount it in the car, and after trying a few things, they decided to use velcro. So, naturally, they coated the entire underside of the laptop in velcro and had a matching velcro pad in the car. Took a crowbar to get it off. You don't need much.

Maybe it's not about marketing the game, but marketing the application that allows you to make your own games.

To be able to make a bunch of games easily that just you and your friends can enjoy without having to code seems like a good use case.
I didn't mean it was a porn game lol, more like even basic romance can add nuance to a fairly simple game that would probably have sold less to mature audiences without it.
While the sentiment is lovely, the conclusions ignore business reality. I did some back-of-an-envelope calculations.

A CS rep who “truly cares” is gonna set you back around 50K[0] in salary, call it 75K total cost to employ. I don’t know what their average customer value is, but seems they start doing phone support at 40USD, and 24x7 chat support for all customers. Let’s be generous and assume 50USD/customer average.

That means it takes at least 125 average customers to pay a CS rep’s salary.

Now bear in mind it’s 24x7, so you need at least 8 CS reps. That means you need to be retaining 1000 customers per year just to break even on your CS team. That’s around 20 a week.

The best customer support is the one your users never have to contact. If you can automate fixes (bonus points for automated pro-rated credits on bills based on downtime impact), or improve reliability, the customers with the highest value to you will stick with you.

That’s not to say “give a shitty support experience because it doesn’t matter”, it’s just that it’s a solution to a different problem than the one presented here.

Same. I've come to highly detest the empty artist/track name. Sometimes it's easy to figure out (such as a "discography" or "greatest hits" playlist where one album or some major-hit single disappears), but more and more often it's been pieces of a playlist I loved that is more and more wiped out. One of my favorite playlists has almost 30% of the songs as empty D-:
We do know Shakespeare was a real person because he did a lot more in his life than just have his name appear on some plays.
The desire to quietly move people into a fictional bubble to "neutralize" them, of managing people without them knowing it, and keeping them busy so they don't do something you don't want them to do. It's like having a physically unfit student demand very aggressively to be put on the football team, and instead of telling him he doesn't make the cut because you're afraid he might pull out a gun, you put some VR goggles on him and run Madden and tell him he's been accepted. (Some would call this tactic a symptom of the feminization of management.)

Of course, a person in a bubble like that might actually become more radicalized. And if a person discovers he's been had by looking at, say, his friend's Reddit version, he might become angry enough to do something, angrier even than if he had just been told "no", because now he's been made a fool.

(I'm the in-house AI engineer at Braindump.)

We experimented with a few different form factors, including integrating into existing game engines, before taking this path. Our rationale was that we wanted to go beyond the existing engine integrations (i.e. Unity already has an AI assistant) and reimagine the entire game creation experience with AI and multiplayer in mind.

Our platform's entirely on the web, so you can link your current game/game creation session to someone else and have them join you. This works on most modern browser, making it easy to build and share games.

That being said, you're not wrong that the current scope of games is limited. That's OK with us for now - we'd like to focus on getting the core experience as good as possible with the current scope and then expand outwards, instead of trying to build something that attempts to solve everything and works for nothing.

That's the standard first-pass response, of course.

It could also serve as an opportunity for Ukraine to do the same in reverse -- ultimately leading to a Russian withdraw (many years later but with many lives spared also).

OTOH, a continuation of the status quo (assuming the political climate in Western countries permits the Ukrainians to do so, which is in itself a highly dodgy proposition) is not at all guaranteed to end in Ukraine's interest, and brings certain obvious tail risks to the rest of the world as well.

Ultimately it's a matter for the Ukrainians to decide. My only point is that it's perfectly possible to discuss different options for achieving the same desired end result (which it seems we agree on) -- without having to label these as being in favor of Russian "peace narratives".
