Ok, but I wonder if it really needs to be real time like this? Wouldn't it make more sense to have some kind of button: somebody makes a pose, takes a picture, the picture is run through some kind of transformation and comes back as a painting that stays there until someone takes another picture? Wouldn't the illusion of art be better that way? (It would not be a "mirror" anymore though.)

> So lemmatizing is rules based, plus more.

Fundamentally, the rule of lemmatizing is that you encounter a word, you look it up in a table, and your output is whatever the table says. There are no other rules. Thus, the lemma of seraphim is seraph and the lemma of interim is interim. (I'm also puzzled by your invocation of "context", since this is an entirely context-free process.)

There has never been any period in linguistic analysis or its ancestor, philology, in which this wasn't done. The only reason to do it on a computer is that you don't have a digital representation of the mapping from token to lemma. But it's not an approach to language processing, it's an approach to lack of resources.

I agree, again, there's a surprising endemic difficulty throughout the whole industry to empower decent writers and designers to make properly engaging and interesting games, and that's not really a budget issue. There's a comparison to be made with Amazon Prime's big-budget flops like Rings of Power, but others like HBO or Apple TV are still managing to reward and empower good writers.

It must be an underlying systemic issue, they are not stupid. They keep betting big on things that are obviously doomed from the outset to any average gamer, but they are blind to it. They think these bets are safe because they appeal to a wider audience, but they end up making them even riskier because they don't appeal to anyone.

On Valve, they have been doing their own thing for like 15 years. They flirted with being a normal games studio in the Half-Life and Portal era, but that didn't last long. It's not just Steam, most of their games like Dota, Counter-Strike and Team Fortress are still always at the top of the charts in active players, they require such minimal maintenance, and they are wildly profitable due to user generated content and item trading economy. Steam Deck has been surprisingly successful too, and they've taken a decent piece of the pie in VR.
This is something great!
Looking into it
On the other hand, the type of games just below AAA is as alive as never before. I'm having a very good time with Steam right now filling my simulation and strategy games itch, genres that were pretty much dead in the AAA heydays. And small indie teams don't need million sellers to stay afloat either. I think the looming "death" (or rather contraction) of AAA will be good for gaming overall because it makes room for new things.
Huh, that's not what I would expect at all. If you are having custom network protocols anyway, why deal with all the overhead that even a subset of HTTP brings? You might as well make an entirely new protocol at that point.

> Making games is very different from making software, but what about movies/tv shows?

Ridiculously different. Movie people really rely on the fact they control the camera, and when a movie is done it replays the same every time. That allows a lot of corner cutting which you cannot do in games.
It seems interesting, but I hate asymmetric gamepad layouts. That's one thing I quite like about the Steam Deck: that they made the layout symmetric.
Sounds about right. I'd love to see 32k displays in my life. The same type of people who said that you don't need more than 24Hz for displays are now saying you don't need more than 4k and they are just as right then as they are now.

I've thought about this a lot in relation to typescript over the years and had various opinions -- For some time I thought it'd be better if there was an implicit `await` on every line and require `void` or some other keyword to break execution like `go` in Golang.

But, eventually I realized the difference in pre-emption between languages -- Go can (now) preempt your code in many places, so locks and thread-safety are very important.

The javascript runtime only preempts at certain places, `await` being one. This means I can know no other code can be running without explicit locks around all critical sections.

Finally understanding the trade-offs, I no longer am as frustrated when recoloring a bunch of functions. Instead, I can appreciate the areas where I'm not required to lock certain operations that I would in other languages.
Of course doing the undefined thing works on almost any platform except DS9k, but that last formulation is quite elegant. It's a bit like byteswapping in that it's fairly simple to do but it's even simpler to not do by just never relying on the machine endianness.

UbiSofts attempt to scientifically generate consistent games following the formula also come to mind. The whole standardize the production attempts are super-toxic in gamedesign, as the alure is there (use the same engine everywhere) etc. and the result is always bland shovelware.
Add to it the number of hours each of those ask for, and now the service games, that means one can kill their daily dosis of gaming with a single one, that gets improved over time, with new server side content, or DLCs.

And the horrible prices that they nowadays ask for as well.

Even though I still game, nowadays anything that requires several GB to download, or more than a couple of hours, isn't worthy of my attention.

Sure that will leave out all cool AAA, no FOMO here, a couple of random sessions of people playing them on YouTube or whatever are more than enough to get an idea of their gameplay and that is about it.

Even in my teenage years of Spectrum/Amiga/PC gaming I wasn't burning the amount of hours in gaming that many of those AAA ask for.

This looks interesting, but there are much better (higher bitrate) sources of pure randomness, and I'm not sure what advantage this has over those. If I don't trust the machine that's generating the randomness, that doesn't only apply to the randomness component, I similarly mistrust this machine's code, the hardware, etc.

I'm not sure what this would add over, for example, entropy derived from a hash of the image of a camera's thermal noise profile.

I do care about the conflict and hope for a swift victory by Ukraine, but in this instance it could have been anyone really. It doesn’t matter these people are Russians: Linus, to comply with “legal requirements”, threw out maintainers without giving an actual reason. If he is so eager to comply with legal requirements now, I wonder what he — he or any other software maintainer — would do were the “legal requirements” be for an unjust cause; countries shouldn’t dictate who can and cannot work for FOSS projects.

And on the matter of “we are the good guys, nothing can go wrong”: In EU politicians tried to make cryptography useless again, and while I don’t believe the law will pass I can’t help but wonder if FOSS maintainers, just like Linus, will happily comply.

Additionally many games are tied to a specific platform, it is not like music and films that keep being ported from medium to medium, without having to touch the original content.

> Does "strong typing" now just mean "static typing"?

The distinction strong and weak typing is irrelevant in practice.

Weak (but present) static typing beats strong dynamic typing every single time, because what is valuable is NOT "Do I see a type mismatch error only when a user accesses it?", it's "does this mismatch prevent a deployment?"

IOW, the only distinction in production is dynamic typing vs static typing, not strong typing vs weak typing.

Maybe Rust has improved in the last 13-14 months but last time I needed to do a lot of async code I ended up with a browser session with at least 12 crates on docs.rs where only a small part of the picture was explained. It was absolutely terrible to track down what's the problem.

In the end, very helpful (and hardcore -- like the main author of Tokio) people unblocked me. I am not sure I was left very enlightened though; but I likely didn't stay for long enough for the whole thing to stick firmly into my memory. It's likely that.
I'm not sure I agree... There's certainly somewhat of a AA resurgence, but that's mainly because AA all but died a decade ago squeezed between AAA and indie, and it's slowly coming back to fill-in the gaps.

But AA used to be much more significant before and that's how all the current AAA companies got to where they are now. We've been missing that renewal process for a while, the big players have not felt the pressure from underneath and have stagnated.

And Indie has been a very tough situation since Steam opened its floodgates after stopping Greenlight. Sure indies don't need millions, but the vast majority don't even get thousands. You are seeing an extreme survival bias, if you talk to professionals in the industry you'll hear how hard it is to even stay afloat.

I wouldn't say that the games industry has unpredictable success. Games that are fun with a great story make money. Many games studios' don't make fun games. or don't try to evaluate why a success became a flop.
I'll give an example.
Ghost Recon wildlands was fun, had a great story and was a delight. It's squeal Break-point sucked because it was a different style of gameplay with nothing but micro-transations. It was a signal from the developers to the users that they didn't really care, they just wanted to extract money.

If you focus on fun and story you'll succeed. Many games studios try to paper over the lack of these things with shiny graphics and cool features. But people play games to have fun.

'A A History Of Economists Getting It Wrong': https://chireviewofbooks.com/2020/03/12/the-economists-hour/

History is indeed replete with instances of this. Here's one example from the UK:

'In March 1981, 364 economists agreed to write to The Times arguing strongly against the then government’s monetary and fiscal policy. However, the Thatcher government decided to ignore these voices and continue the pursuit of policies to defeat inflation and restore fiscal responsibility. To the opponents of the 364, this decision marked a turning point in British post-war economic history: every other post-war government had capitulated and returned to policies of reflation and direct control of prices and incomes in the face of intense political pressures when the going was tough. The 1981 Budget, which precipitated the letter, was also a turning point in other respects: from 1981 there was continual growth, falling inflation and eventually, employment growth.'

Well, who said that scripting language cannot be compiled? And yeah, Clang-REPL is another way to make it REPL-friendly.
I still haven't seen a good "solution" to this "problem" for imperative style programming. Why the quotes? Because the functions have different signatures, thus different functions(colors).

And IT MATTERS. That's why you have structured concurrency hot on the heels of Loom. And once you are using structured concurrency constructs... Ehh, it's not the magic "solution" we were sold anymore is it?
Quite often it compiles to the same IL. Would you like to provide some godbolt examples where it's significantly different?

I agree, but there's somewhat of a selection bias here. Pretty much all big games, successful or not, are designed by committee. Auteurs have always been rare in gaming and the few that exist are mostly a marketing front and don't have as much influence as they seem.

I think you are right, but this cannot be the whole story, widely successful games have followed this methodology too.
