Agreed that there is a lot of interaction between game design and learning. It is difficult, as I think you can learn a lot of conflicting lessons depending on you look at things.

The largest lesson for me, at the moment, is that people love complaining about "rote memorization" but throw out the baby with the bath water, as it were. Memory is a large part of learning, such that trying to do anything that doesn't lean on it feels wrong.

And I don't mean just recall memory. Learning to juggle is one that showed me that memory can be a full body activity. Same for running/cycling. And getting good at things means doing it a lot.

Yes, "deliberate practice" is different than "rote practice." But they look an awful lot like each other. And I don't think anyone has a good trick for how to skip straight to deliberate.

They just need to add a task runner feature (already being worked on) and the one tool to rule them all would be complete. Package manager, linter, formatter, type checker, task runner. Am I missing something? Maybe a build tool?

that's pretty awesome and very useful!
There's no evidence for almost any of this, and even when there is, we won't see it. Just like 95% of posts on here.

Um, what’s that now? Really?

I notice that your geographical perspective doesn’t stretch to any actual evidence that such a thing took place. So it really has exactly the same amount of supporting evidence as my alien crash reverse engineering scenario at present.

>That long f-in reply for the most simple question

Gosh, I hate LLMs so much. Who made them type out wall of texts by default? I want to know how many R's are in Strawberry, not how you deduced that shit. If I want to know the latter, I'd explicitly ask for it. Yes, I know I can customize that or make some epic proompts to make it reply shorter, but imo that should be the default
I have been trying to imagine something similar, but without all the middleware/distribution layer. You need to do a thing? The LLM just does it and presents the user with the desired experience. Kind of upending the notion that we need "apps" in the first place. It's all materialized, just-in-time style.
A grudge in general is fine enough to me, you don't have to start being fine with everything ever done just because it eventually stopped being that way, but weighing that so high as to not consider anything else about the game/developer at this point is where it's taken into the realm of "really?" for me.

I looked through all the sunfish repos first, which is how I found this: https://android.googlesource.com/device/google/sunfish-kerne...

But apparently sunfish-kernel only contains binaries.

Given there's an update to Image.lz4, that seems there's an update to the kernel. I also compared the binary to the previous version and found some new strings possibly related to battery charging profile.

Next I checked out the source using Google's documentation but the latest commit is here: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/refs/heads/and...

But maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
I've done video calls from the roof of Stavros Foundation Library, but that's weather dependent.

Deepseek did not respect OpenAI's copyright?

Well who would have thought that?
I thank you for the blog-post length reply and I am sorry I triggered that with my simple question in disguise. I knew it was hard to answer.

It is funny that you specifically mentioned the bread. I go a fair bit between Austria, Spain, Greece, the UK and all around Asia.

We have a lot of really dark and heavy bread in Austria. Austrian bread frequently incorporates a variety of whole grains, including rye, spelt and whole wheat. Darker, denser loaves like Roggenbrot (rye bread) and Dinkelbrot (spelt bread) are the norm here. Austrian bread is typically made with just flour, water, salt, and natural leavening (sourdough or yeast).

I didn't ask you the question to gleam with that, am I'm apologizing in advance if its coming through like this. My point is the additives. And it might get back to that Fanta-to-Fanta comparison, but with so many other products, many American store-bought breads contain added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, whereas Austrian breads rarely do.

I also think that a lot of additives or chemicals are simply banned in the EU leading to a lower shelf life of products, but generally more natural products. Like Potassium Bromate, ADA, BHA & BHT etc which are banned in the EU. Together with the corn syrup found seldom in eupean products, or Austrian.

Spain and Greece have less of the black and dark breads, but that movement is slowly coming. Spain has a lot of really really really great food, and very high quality.

Asia is a different story. There are some artisanal bakeries popping up in places like Hongkong, Singapore, Thailands larger cities, Malaysia etc. But in general, stores have these softy loafs of what we call toast bread. But then, they don't eat a lot of bread :)

Not sure where I'm going with this, if at all anywhere, next time you come to europe, try some of our bread.
Lots of if's here. They need specific US employee contacts at a company thars quickly growing and one of those needs to be willing to breach their contracts to share it. That contact also needs to trust that Deepseek can properly utilize such code and completely undercut their own work.

Lot of hoops when there's simply other models to utilize publicly
So where is the data actually stored if it "never touches the disk"? Is it some UEFI or BIOS thing?
Interesting! I admit that I never saw a study like that. I tried googling it unsucessfully so I asked chatgpt:

Caclculate the average life span of french kings who died on natural causes in the last 1000 years. Please return a single number.

* The average lifespan of French kings who died of natural causes over the last 1000 years is approximately 58 years.

This number reflects those kings who did not die in battle, through assassination, or from other violent causes, focusing instead on those who died due to illness, old age, or other non-violent factors. *

Assuming that chatgpt can read wikipedia pages correctly, it seems that you are right, thanks!
If you happen to have links for those archeological studies, I‘d gladly read them.
Waymo to test its autonomous driving technology in over 10 new cities
> based purely on racial prejudices.

At some point these straw men start to look like ignorance or even reverse racism. As if (presumably non-Han Chinese) Americans are incapable of tolerance.

There are plenty of Han Chinese who are citizens of democratic nations. China is not the only nation with Han Chinese.

America, for instance, has a large number of Asian citizens, including a large number of Han Chinese. The number of white, non-Hispanic Americans is decreasing, while the number of Asian Americans is increasing at a rate 3x the decrease in whites. America is a melting pot and deals with race relations issues far more than ethnically uniform populations. The conversations we have about race are because we're so exposed to it -- so racially and culturally diverse. If anything, we're equipped to have these conversations gracefully because they're a part of our everyday lived experience.

At the end of the day, this is 100% a geopolitical argument. Pulling out the race card any time China is criticized is arguing in bad faith. You don't see the same criticisms lobbied against South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, or Singapore precisely because this is a geopolitical issue.

As further evidence you can recall the conversations we had in the 90's when we were afraid Japan would take over. All the newspapers wrote about was "Japan, Japan, Japan" and the American businesses they were buying up and taking over. It was 100% geopolitical fear. You'll note that we no longer fill the zeitgeist with these discussions today save for a recent and rather limited conversation about US Steel. And that was just a whimper.

These conversations about China are going to increase as the US continues to decouple from Chinese trade. It's not racism, it's just competition.
Rural area permits can be more of a "you're not building too close to the edge of your property, ok great" kind of a deal.
Most of the time is still in the hops. Every machine along the route and transitions into fibre and electrical cables is what is adding the time. In theory we can do drastically better than we do today with faster routing machines but latency hasn’t really improved very much for long connections despite all the advancements in the past 30 years.
An explicit announcement like this, on the official news channel, is almost the definition of virtue signalling. If they don’t want to post to X, that’s fine, and an announcement on X would even be appropriate, and they could criticize X there, which would be useful information for other people using X. But a widely publicized post like this, to everybody not using X? It is obviously only done to signal virtue.

A Wolf had stolen a Lamb and was carrying it off to his lair to eat it. But his plans were very much changed when he met a Lion, who, without making any excuses, took the Lamb away from him.

The Wolf made off to a safe distance, and then said in a much injured tone:

"You have no right to take my property like that!"

The Lion looked back, but as the Wolf was too far away to be taught a lesson without too much inconvenience, he said:

"Your property? Did you buy it, or did the Shepherd make you a gift of it? Pray tell me, how did you get it?"

What is evil won is evil lost.
Land, water, air and light used to produce food are not owned by any particular human either. The monopolization of that land (at the point of a gun most often) is the beginning of the issue. The overuse of that land, often subsidized heavily by taxpayers, in order to generate exorbitant profit for the few is a rot in human society. Those owners are the actual ones who don't work and expect a reward for it
I find it interesting that so much discussion about “LLM’s can do some of our work” is centred around “are they intelligence” and not what I see as the precursor question of “are we doing a lot of bullshit work?”

My partner is in law, along with several friends and the amount of completely _useless_ work and ceremony they’re forced to do is insane. It’s a literal waste of their talent and time. We could probably net most of the claimed AI gains by taking a serious look at pointless workloads and come out ahead due to not needing the energy and capital expenditure.

On the other hand, retail investors also put 900mil into the stock yesterday
I love The Freeze Frame Revolution, and yeah I was planning on doing something similar. I figure I'll publish an app that OCRs the text and displays the hidden message, and make the book read differently based on whether you can or can't see the messages.

Then readers can use the app for hiding their own messages to each other also.
not if climate change is as bad as it could be. Fission reactors can actually reduce CO2 emissions. Fusion reactors not so much.
My first time playing NMS was around 7 years after launch when it was added to Game Pass Ultimate. It's a fine game, but the reliance on procedural generation for planets made everything feel... stale, and same-y. It's ironic, the game has billions of unique worlds, but none of them have anything interesting going on on them because they were made by an algorithm and not a person. Starfield had the same problems (remember Starfield?). This is also how most people feel about AI-generated content.
That's true of practically everything though. Completely out of the blue technical inventions are pretty rare.
Our bodies can synthesize several inorganic compounds, and other organisms can synthesize even more. There are biological sources of $H_{2}O$, $NH_{4}^{+}$, $NO$, $HCO_{3}^{−}$, $HPO_{4}^{2−}$, and (traditionally considered inorganic despite having carbon) $CO_{2}$. Iodine is an element, not a compound, and can only be synthesized through nuclear processes, not chemical ones.
As I understand it, they add a new set of planets with the new features, and keeping the old planets untouched.

The increased variety is not because trillions of planets are added, but because the new planets will have more varierty than the old ones.

downvoted -- I guess I upset some people defending OpenAI? Good.
I flatly discount the possibility because OpenAI can't produce evidence of a breach. At best, they'd rather hide the truth than admit a compromise. At worst they show incompetence that they couldn't detect such a breach. Not a good look either way.

"In addition to ongoing trips to Truckee, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Upstate New York and Tokyo, the expansion includes testing in San Diego and Las Vegas, with more cities yet to be announced."

Pitching my own book here, but I think Jackson Hole would be a great place for Waymo. It's clearly delineated, has basically no freeway driving, affluent residents and a constant influx of tourists for brand building. The only challenge is snow, but the roads are well plowed and drivers generally careful. If you're working in Truckee, I can't imagine it will be a much-bigger challenge.

> OpenAI's results were hard earned after all

DDOSing web sites and grabbing content without anyone's consent is not hard earned at all. They did spent billions on their thing, but nothing was earned as they could never do that legally.
The surrounding facts matter a lot here. For example, there are plenty of instances of governments hacking companies of their competing nations. Motives are incredibly easy to come by as well, be they political or economical. We also have no proof that aliens exist at all, so you've not only conjured them into existence, but also their motive and their skills.

Are you trolling me?
Nvidia's P/E numbers are lower than almost all of their major competitors. You can't look at Nvidia's ratio alone and say "this seems overvalued" without also acknowledging the fact that the entire industry looks ridiculous by the same analysis.

I'd even agree with that argument, I just don't think it's the one you're making.
What they really mean is there is more variety when you land on different planets, they added more variables to the procedural generation. And I gotta say it did improve over time, they have become more varied and interesting, but still with that "procedural" feel.
Probably more like specialized tools to help spy on and forecast civilian activities more than anything else. Definitely with hallucinations, but that's not really important. Facts don't matter much these days...
Or because the results of these models are so transformative that you could pass it off as fair use.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Sounds like they have patient investors. They are doing amazing work.

Okay, I'll bite.

My experience with No Man's Sky was this:

- I started playing the campaign (instead of the sandbox mode) and was off to a great start

- I noticed that you slowly gain additional inventory slots for your character, but that you can just buy a large ship with many inventory slots instead, so I did some trading and bought a huge ship

- Inventory management: I put the stuff I don't need on me in the ship's cargo space. Especially the "space traveler's passport" or whatever it was called, since you only need that during quests/campaign progressions

- I had my first run in with pirates and died

- Ah, so when you die, you lose all ship cargo, but keep your player inventory. Good to know. Now, where's my "space traveler's passport", that I need to continue the campaign? I bricked my save?

- I went to the forum where everybody laughed and called me an idiot. OF COURSE you don't put your quest items in the ship!

Note that the game only had auto-save, no manual save states, so I lost everything for the stupid reason that the game removes all quest items from your ship on death and does not tell you that beforehand. This was one of the worst experiences I had in a game/community, ever.

Open source and/or low precision LLMs have been around for years and people have been hacking on them and doing all sorts of things with them. AI is incredibly overhyped and was due for commoditization. If a Chinese company releasing yet another decent but somehow this time incredibly overhyped LLM is what it takes to get investors to see the writing on the wall, then good riddance.

The biggest thing to do is to keep track of tasks so nothing is forgotten and prioritize them accordingly. Nobody likes hearing "I forgot".

Second, learn to identify when you are getting stuck in 'rabbit holes'. For some this is trying to achieve perfection, when you need to be 'good enough'. Sometimes it's endlessly researching the solution and its tangential paths, 'off on a tangent'. EDIT: Sometimes it's commenting on Hacker News......

Deepseek v2 and v2.5 was still very good but not par with frontier models. How would you explain that?
> You’re taking large blocks of data, and performing uniform mathematical operations over all the data to perform what is effectively statistical analysis of that data.

It doesn't behave this way. If you're thinking of the DCT it uses that's mostly 4x4 which is not very large. As for motion analysis there are so many possible candidates (since it's on quarter-pixels) that it can't try all of them and very quickly starts trying to filter them out.
I like C# too, but both languages seem to perform pretty similarly in my experience. The biggest difference seems to come from third party libraries being more optimized in one framework than the other.

Once Project Loom receives some more love (I believe that's scheduled for the next LTS, Java 25) I'll be very interested to see how Java's green threads will compare to C#'s async/await. I think Java's model may help programmers write more optimal code easier, but only if they can pull off their scheduling improvements.

C# does have massive advantages when calling native code, though. Java FFI is always just kind of a pain and C# FFI is pretty much trivial.
According to Brennan center, CA is number one at losing people relative to other states.
