Yes, exactly. That’s what I was referring to in my last sentence.

I am astonished by an established, commercial website having good structure.
It looks like a documentation website. Sidebar with clear categories and navigation. I really like it.

The article doesn’t say much. So I checked the source for more information. It doesn’t say much more, but IMO in a much better way, in two concise paragraphs. In the sourced financial report, it is in the intro, two paragraphs:
An example R&D initiative, sponsored by the Innovation team was Project Ava, where a team, initially from Electric Square Malta, attempted to create a 2D game solely using Gen AI. Over the six-month process, the team shared their findings across the Group, highlighting where Gen AI has the potential to augment the game development process, and where it lags behind. Whilst the project team started small, it identified over 400 tools, evaluating and utilising those with the best potential. Despite this, we ultimately utilised bench resource from seven different game development studios as part of the project, as the tooling was unable to replace talent.
One of the key learnings was that whilst Gen AI may simplify or accelerate certain processes, the best results and quality needed can only be achieved by experts in their field utilising Gen AI as a new, powerful tool in their creative process. As a research project, the game will not be released to the public, but has been an excellent initiative to rapidly spread tangible learnings across the Group, provide insights to clients and it demonstrates the power and level of cross-studio collaboration that currently exists. Alongside Project Ava, the team is undertaking a range of Gen AI R&D projects, including around 3D assets, to ensure that we are able to provide current insights in an ever- evolving part of the market
The central quote and conclusion being:
One of the key learnings was that whilst Gen AI may simplify or accelerate certain processes, the best results and quality needed can only be achieved by experts in their field utilising Gen AI as a new, powerful tool in their creative process.
Which is obvious and expected for anyone familiar with the technology. Of course, experiments and confirming expectations has value too. And I’m certain actually using tools and finding out which ones they can use where is very useful to them specifically.

Firefox, uBlock Origin, adguard DNS, sponsorblock (crowdsourced video sections with auto skip), DeArrow (crowdsourced clickbait replacement), nyancat seek/progress bar, playback speed control.
I’ve noticed videos stopping and buffering after the first few seconds, but not always, and seemingly less so again. It was acceptable to me.

Ads get shown because they’re paid. Regular posts compete with all other posts, and user filters and subscriptions.
- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 8 months ago:
the relevant quote:
it’s about these special tax breaks that these companies can take in the immediate aftermath of a merger. So the company expects to write off something up to $3.5 billion connected to content costs as a result. And part of getting that tax benefit means they have to pull some of these shows from the service

Hopefully, you have many opportunities to use it.

- Comment on EU to hit Apple with €500m fine over antitrust music streaming complaint from Spotify 8 months ago:
tl;dr/highlight:
While the verdict isn’t public until its announcement “early next month”, the report suggests Apple unfairly prevented apps from suggesting payment methods outside of the App Store.
Spotify submitted their (first) complaint in 2019.
Took quite a few years…

They didn’t redefine efficiency. They changed the purpose scoping.

How do they do peer-reviews? Evidently it was not enough for what you expect from a vetted journal.
Any consequences or planned changes?

What does this have to do with technology? At least title and teaser have no indication. (And the cross post to lemmyshitpost doesn’t add credibility either.)
- Comment on Early Adopters of Microsoft’s AI Bot Wonder if It’s Worth the Money 8 months ago:
Yes, this is very expected to me. What surprises me is the 30 USD per User per month price point. That’s very expensive. (I can make guesses as to why, but it ultimately doesn’t matter.)
- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 to enforce hardware requirement - gHacks Tech News 8 months ago:
If the CPU does not support POPCNT, Windows 11 version 24H2 will not boot. The instruction requires a processors that supports SSE4.2 or SSE4a.
[…] Intel launched support for SSE4.2 in Intel Nehalem core processors in late 2008. AMD added support for the instructions in late 2011. Older processors continued to be sold for some time.

- Comment on So You Think You Know Git? - FOSDEM 2024 8 months ago:
Regarding visual client: I’ve been using TortoiseGit since early on and no other client I’ve tried came close.
I use the log view and have an overview, and an entry point to all common operations I need. Other tools often fail on good overview, blaming through earlier revisions, filterable views of commits or files, or interactive rebase.
- Comment on Has anyone used a programmable keyboard with "home row mods" like this? 8 months ago:
I’ve never found pressing modifier keys to be an issue. I’ll be mindful of my use today.
I guess the hold to repeat input (of letters) is not used much, so not a significant or noticeable loss when replaced. I’d certainly see false positives and having to type slower as deal breakers.

If you’re looking for collaboration or audience I’d stay with github. It’s too prevalent to skip for alternative niche with account signup and that elsewhere as a barrier.
If that’s no concern to you it’s viable.

I’ve had a few cases where something made me remember something I experienced and I couldn’t immediately tell whether I was remembering something from a dream or reality.

If you go down that reasoning road then everything is a dream. You are never not dreaming.

…in a very localized and narrow market.
It’s not that simple of an answer. If you want to label the past working fine as such you also have to accept and include the living standards and social-economic environment. Because our environment and world and how we live today are vastly different from back then.
How would you barter-trade production parts of a car, the building of a car, and then that car? How would you barter-trade research and technology development?
Without money, do you pay in a narrow, restrictive way like a place to live and food? Or do you pay in something that can be traded like money - where you practically replaced currency money with a different form of currency money?
