  Hellblade 2 is coming

  Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it’s Onlyfans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Did you realize that we live in a reality where SciHub is illegal, and OpenAI is not?"⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually a good point.

  Is there a straightforward way to know which overloading will be used or is it just a roulette every time you add a sketchy new library to your build?

  I mean I’ve seen some weird workarounds when stuff isn’t loading in when they’re supposed to…

  But yeah this is probably not that.

  The car doesn’t have Bluetooth connection?

  Great now I have to write a 50k word novel in 82 minutes.

  Reddit has competition but also a big moat in that a lot of people need to collectively decide to move platform.

  I’ve heard some of them are calling for regulation, that favours them.

  Just switch to a sexy Persian cat costume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the morning train⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thriller starts playing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple jacks prices to juice profits because $19.3B a quarter isn't enough⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is their moat. If customers can easily go somewhere else hiking prices will have clear consequences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has over a million paying Github Copilot users: CEO Nadella⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems so weird when you think about the pricing for openai API. It feels at least an order of magnitude cheaper than using chatgpt plus subscription, which in turn is $20/month. I’ve used If Copilot is losing money, openai must be burning money by truckloads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2846: Daylight Saving Choice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! All this plus International Fixed Calendar and then all date issues will be solved forever!

  Or until we start going to space for real

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2846: Daylight Saving Choice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how your suggestions successively became more radical.

  But, Julian calendar? Still a rookie I see.

  The calendar year has 13 months with 28 days each, divided into exactly 4 weeks (13 × 28 = 364). An extra day added as a holiday at the end of the year (after December 28, i.e. equal December 31 Gregorian), sometimes called “Year Day”, does not belong to any week and brings the total to 365 days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There once was a programmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Accurately guessing the next thought (or action) is all brains need to do so I don’t see what the alleged “magic” is supposed to solve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There once was a programmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Chinese room thought experiment doesn’t prove anything and probably confuses the discussion more than it clarifies.

  In order for the Chinese room to convince an outside observer of knowing Chinese like a person the room as a whole basically needs to be sentient and understand Chinese. The person in the room doesn’t need to understand Chinese. “The room” understands Chinese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There once was a programmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re already knee deep in existing code and looking for bugs or need to write quite specific algorithms it seems not very useful. But if you for some reason need to write stuff that has the slightest feeling of boilerplate, like how do I interact with well established framework or service X while doing A, B C it can be really useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There once was a programmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t use code that you don’t understand. Chatgpt outputs quite readable and understandable code and makes sure to explain a lot of it and you can ask questions about it. It can save quite a lot of effort, especially for tasks that are more tedious than hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d anyone actually making progressive web apps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblock⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I think these stories are a bit cope from the writers not wanting to deal with the ultimate consequences of the world building decisions. I’m sure people want to make stuff in real ways but industrial size vineyards? Eh, why not replace it with a lush biologically diverse forest with some wine bushes spread about and little drones harvesting in a smart way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblock⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do they need vineyards? Can’t they make any wine using replicators?
