“The average sword-wielding man has no firearms experience.”

In terms of mortality it’s not even close. Alcohol alone kills nearly twice as many people as all other drugs combined.

Tobacco, 5x as many.

oh look another problem I’m too poor to have

It was going to be pulled in Canada too. It was a simple mistake that it wasn’t.

Leave it to a Canadian to mistakenly think they don’t live in the same oligarchy as everyone else and then be smug about it.

That’s something that sounds nice in theory but it makes no sense. You’d need to have draconian DRM to make it work.

The guy who created a non-brilliant language for idiot google hires is angry at slop. Interesting.

The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.

I could see this being useful for those with disabilities like muscular dystrophy. Maybe let the AI handle repetitive, input-heavy parts and take over the gameplay at key moments so as to minimize muscle pain.

Yeah. “Nitch” didn’t show up until 1917 and got added to the Webster dictionary in 1961.

As an American if someone said “nitch” out loud I would secretly die inside and then do my best to remember this:

I’m having a sensible conversation and you’re freaking the fuck out for no reason.

No need to be deliberately obtuse and insulting.

It’s pretty clear that the holodeck’s ability to create a complicated program from a basic prompt is analogous to LLM output.

If too many people have your attitude, we’ll never get there.

Haven’t you ever seen Star Trek and been amazed by the holodeck? How do you think they got there?

People expect perfection right out of the gate.

I mean damn, AI has only been able to write something resembling code for a few years now. The fact that this is even a headline is pretty amazing when you think about it.

I would rather have technology that reduces the number of accounts necessary for stuff

People get confused because leet speak had a resurgence around 1997 or so.

Steam shouldn’t allow this kind of crap, much less have software support for it.

I would use it to block all the people whining about AI

What’s stopping someone from not playing ball and just cleaning house on the personal market?

And this illustrates why calling someone who had a stroke an “idiotic vegetable” is atrocious.

So that’s why people like C-style return types. That actually makes a lot of sense. I do too now.
