Everything we know and see has proven that progress is exponential.

Your statement that progress or intelligence is binary has no basis outside of intentional and ignorant pessimism.

1. Is not a gamer's dream. It's terrible and you'll find out quite fast you're not interested in everyone's background and scream to most NPC's to shut the fuck up and get to the point.

It's just as terrible as injecting 'realism' in games for the sake of 'realism'.

You can also paint by squashing flies against a wall. Doesn't mean it's a good, or efficient, idea.

The full diversity of life sounds wonderful, as long as you're not the one suffering painful, disfiguring or crippling conditions.

Babylon 5.

When people asked me what I preferred, "Star Wars or Star Trek?", I've always responded with "Babylon 5".

I wonder what happened to the old addage of "only 10% of the time you actually spend coding, the rest of the time is figuring out what is needed".

At the same time I see people claiming 100x increases and how they produce 15k lines of code each day thanks to AI, but all I can wonder is how these people managed to find 100x work that needed to be done.

To make it even worse, he deemed none of it important enough to backup.

AI fan or not, that is astoundingly stupid.

So do I understand correctly that it's from a tooling issue? If so, thanks for that insight.

I've heared Americans, unironically, state that the metric system is less precise than the imperial system.

I have no clue what the origin is of this myth, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if Trump held this belief too.

Only in certain fields. For most interactions divide by 10 is far easier than divide by 12, and you'd end up with far, far more "eyeballed" measurements.

So no, as a human being, I'm fine with base 10.

I worked in a finance department for over a decade. That architect is a lunatic or a sheer idiot.

Considering how much this particular system has been linked to real life crime and gangs, you're not far off.

People downvoting you must either not be aware of this, or have a personal stake in it.

I agree.

It is better to be consistent but wrong, than inconsistent but correct.

Consistent and correct might seem ideal, but merely the fact that what is 'correct' is in the eye of the beholder most of the time, making it basically unobtainable.

But being consistent is at least something that is far less subjective.

This is why I don't listen at all to the fearmongers that say programmers will disappear. At most, our jobs will slightly change.

There will always be people that describe a problem, and you'll always need people actually figuring out what's actually wrong.

It should be, but you can't be picky.

Am I reading this wrong? He complaints that Valve deleted items and posts, despite them promising that it would not happen... only for the quote he provided to state that "they might not delete everything".

"Might" is not "will".

I've thought of this too.

But I always end up in a scenario where, in order to make the LLM spit out consistent and as precise as possible code, we end up with a very simple and tight syntax.

For example we'll be using less and less complete human sentences, because they leave too much open to interpretation, and end up with keywords like "if", "else" and "foreach". When we eventually do end up at that utopia, the first person to present this at a conference will be hailed as a revolutionist.

Only for the LLM to have a resolve clash and, while 'hallucinating', flip a boolean check.

Thank you

I don't really see what that has to do with what I posted, as it completely misses the point.

This is not about eating fast food vs eating healthy. This is about groups of people eating the same food, only that one is labeled 'bio/organic' and the other isn't.

When these people were subjected to tests, and the foods themselves were tested, it was quantifiably proven to be less healthy.

In my country they tested adolescent children that were brought up by eating "bio" food vs people that ate regular food.

Kids that has been eating the 'healthy' "bio" food had, on average, unhealthy amounts of lead, heavy metals and other chemicals in their blood. The kids that didn't eat "bio" food didn't.

So I ask you, where should the average EU person go to?

I have little faith that, should it all be burned down, recreating it all from the ground up that it would be better.

People need to accept that what Trump is doing is only possible because of what his predecessors put down as law. That means democratic presidents too.

I didn't see Trump's detractors call all of this out when the winds were blowing their way. So no, I have no faith that rebuilding it from the ground up would make it one iota better. Not without deep societal changes.

... and possibly a lot of illnesses related to extreme aging, not seen today, might appear.

We could feed it Twitter posts.

I don't know how it's in the US, but here in Europe where I live a ticket ranges between 16 to 20 Euro per seat. That's simply too much for most people.

If COVID taught me anything it's that it doesn't matter where you go looking on the political spectrum, be it left or right, you'll always find enough people that are fine to be the judge, jury and executioner.

China said yes to all those things for Western money. They could've said no, they could've put in restrictions to lower their profits and improve conditions. Don't act like China is some poor puppy bullied around by the West.

The purpose of this is to absolve China of any and all responsibility, and put maximum blame with the West. Apparently the West is in complete control of China.

'Mother' Gaia will wipe all complex life from this planet with 1 to 1.5 Billion years if her 'undisciplined' puppies don't find a way to leave this ball of dirt.

She's also got quite a lead with killing off 99.99999% of all species that ever lived, when compared to us.

You need focus and direction in any media. Books, movies, games, etc.... they all need it.

The first NPC that you encounter with such freedom of interaction is interesting, the 45th will be annoying and you'll just want to get to the point. The holodeck of Star Trek is often brought up as an excellent example of AI generated interactions, but people seem to be forgetting that the stories we see unfold on TV aren't random interactive stories. They're scripted stories written by show's writers.

Unless you want to make a simulation without a real goal, I don't see how this could lead to fun and interesting gameplay past the first hour. Realism is, always will be, a bad gameplay pillar just for the sake of it.
