  Narrator: they absolutely did notice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Io in True Color⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The source claims that enhanced is this one: …nasa.gov/…/global-image-of-io-false-color/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨humour⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it is an image. Technically

  Cool, I think past midnight timetables is where this really helps a lot of people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What did they make?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Historically, the style manual of the United States Government Printing Office used 12 a.m. for noon and 12 p.m. for midnight, though this was reversed in its 2008 editions.

  I also remember there were some countries that have 12 AM mean noon, but I may be mistaken as I can’t find a source

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Since there are only 24 hours in a day, there cannot be a “24:30”.

  Japan has something to say about that: 30-hour day time — clock doesn’t wrap if it’s a continuation of a previous day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But quarter of 11:00 is 2:45

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s clear, this is just a weird image

  Also, I believe they don’t really need to have complete control for that, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Censoring parts of gameplay as you play would be very impressive, btw. Not in a good way, but impressive, like when I first found out about ISP replacing/adding ads on http pages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have A1 and A2 level in a couple of non-first languages, technically I can speak those, realistically I don’t and will not be able to communicate something more complex than ‘here, take a look’

  So I don’t agree with your absolutistic stance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG's new owner says Steam is winning due to ease of use, not quality, while criticizing the platform for releasing hundreds of games daily that are "not super high quality"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t quite follow, do you mean Daikatana is so bad they didn’t add it before because they were called ‘good’ but not anymore?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can transpile from C to Malbolge and then run it (this will probably take forever for most of C programs). I thought it can be used for obfuscation, and sure enough Wiki already states that:

  Hisashi Iizawa et al. also proposed a guide for programming in Malbolge for the purpose of obfuscation for software protection

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No thinking is not the same as no actions, we had bots in games for decades and that bots look like they act reasonably but there never was any thinking.

  I feel like ‘a lot of agency’ is wrong as there is no agency, but it doesn’t mean that an LLM in a looped setup can’t arrive to these actions and perform them. It doesn’t require neither agency, nor thinking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨genius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, this perspective didn’t occur to me, it makes everything so much worse 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah those also can’t think, and it will not change soon

  The real problem though is not if LLM can think or not, it’s that people will interact with it as if it can, and will let it do the decision making even if it’s not far from throwing dice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By that time there was a lot brewing in Spain for quite a long time, but it might have helped to reduce the opposition to successor’s reforms. We will never know for sure, of course

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out now it’s also the majority

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bobcats are relatively ok, maybe you meant cougar (mountain lion) or wolverine? The latter is especially nasty

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure this pricing crisis will not have an impact on consoles, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨that is crazy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe such petty technicalities should not bother the flight of your imagination

  but

  keep in mind, what has been seen cannot be unseen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shout out to the NYE shift at all the Emergency Departments around the world.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A better question would be ratio of fingers to persons, because lost fingers ≠ lost hand, and the ratio would be more sensitive to changes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now may last longer than you wish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t make sense of what you asked, but in case of db0, they just received 0 censures, those are shown for all of the instances, if they are given or received

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought ‘what’s wrong with db0 that it received so many censures’, turns out it received 0 censures, it gave 136 censures to other instances

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3186: Truly Universal Outlet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On thunder there was no picture in post preview, but there is a picture in the post. Maybe it’s because of png format, or maybe Wikimedia does something weird when you embed links to it, dunno

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3186: Truly Universal Outlet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems to be incompatible with some plugs, after all:

  Danish computer equipment outlet with asymmetrically tilted prongs and half-circular ground (mainly used in professional environment). Nicknamed “dumb face sockets” in Denmark

  For some reason the image doesn’t seem to work for me, so here’s the link to it, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Afaik, they patched it 5 days after release, so depends on how shortly after release you played.

  The author participates in society. The author is not opposed to Disney.

  no positive conclusions, really
