Google’s trying to find the guy responsible for all this

So, you’re telling me google search has gotten so bad it can’t even find info on its own workers?

To be fair, the actual article links to the paper and the real punch is that the research does not point to any of the many AI blunders made by google itself

Also, my personal highlight from the article

If you read the paper, you can’t help but conclude that the “misuse” of generative AI often sounds a lot like the tech is working as intended. People are using generative AI to make lots of fake content because it’s really good at doing that task, and consequently flooding the internet with AI slop.

This one. It’s basically an upside down Mega Drive/Genesis controller for one of the Brazilian famiclones, with turbo buttons for A and B

Earth Defense Force 4 or 5 can be good “training” games. They’re 3rd person shooters, you’ll spend more time moving around than aiming, since your targets will be giant insects, giant spiders, giant aliens and giant alien ships. Even playing online with randos is fine and fun, and I say that as a similar 30+ yo dude.

It’s a grindy game tho and, much like Dynasty Warriors, you should NOT let your pride dictate that you should “start with hard”. Go with medium and, if shit gets too hard, drop down to easy, get better weapons and more health, then come back with a vengeance

My bet is most will go either with bluesky or threads, because “everyone is (moving) there”

Ooooh, like that video where every piece fits in the square hole!

Title mentions speaking italian

Not a single hand gesture anywhere

I’ve been duped

Get in with the full idea of being a parasite, doing the barest minimum work possible while getting friendly with higher ups. It’s not like doing a good job there would be better for the customers/end users anyway

Alcohol, the strongest bonding chemical of mankind

Or they knew they weren’t going to last more than 1 year, so why not spend all that tasty VC money?

If you do find it, be sure to tell, I’d love to take a look

That nexe looks nothing like cosmopolitan. Nexe compiles a node.js into a single exe for Windows and, from the readme, can create native binaries for other distributions (Linux, Mac), something that isn’t new to Nexe, you could do that with FreePascal way before Nexe. If you avoided OS specific calls, you could pull that since the early 90s with C, too.

Compiling the same codebase for N different platforms, generating N different native binaries, isn’t the same as having one single executable file that runs out of the box on significantly different OSs. Put it another way, she made a java that works without needing a JRE or JDK installed.

If you meant cell phones and tablets, that’s mostly due to the different architecture. RISC processors are super energy efficient, which also makes them much cooler to run.

x86-64 is a CISC architecture, which tends to be much more power hungry. There are only a couple of very low power Celeron CPUs that work under 10W of TDP, while that’s very common among phones’ CPUs.

I’d often bring a floppy with wolf3d or doom to deal with the boredom

Vandalism became theft and kidnapping

With 65 percent of projects adopting Agile practices failing to be delivered on time

They’re not “failing to deliver”, they’re being Agile in disappointing everyone involved!

Projects where engineers felt they had the freedom to discuss and address problems were 87 percent more likely to succeed.

Which shouldn’t surprise anyone, but I know some managers, directors and users loathe the idea of the people who’ll do the actual job having any say other than “yes, sir”.

In highlighting the need to understand the requirements before development begins, the research charts a path between Agile purists and Waterfall advocates.

Good documentation is critical and process-agnostic. If people can read and understand it, it’s good. It’s something that can be used as a shield and weapon against users/higher ups who want too much, it can create a trail of responsibility.

And you can still get (non-flagship) phones with the fucking 2.5mm jack

I mean, you’re using hardware from a company that is very blatantly anti consumer rights - thou shall not repair, thou shall not upgrade, thou shall not use third party anything, thou shall use Metal, for we despise OpenGL; not to mention that you have even less control on the mobile devices unless you pay a developer fee.

The fact that MacOS has some FOSS under the hood is completely irrelevant.

I’m partially aware of people not liking Rebel Galaxy Outlaw as a sequel, though I never read into the whys, though if you can actually pilot in all 6 degrees of freedom, that’s a plus for me.

What was that exclusive deal? Something with Sony?

Been playing Rebel Galaxy on and off a bit. It’s decent enough, think of it as a Freelancer lite, big emphasis on “lite”. It’s more “naval combat in space” than any sort of space game.

Also some Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, I really suck at it but it’s so flashy and fun!

Sorry, my mom’s busy banging YO MAMMA!
