Why be the bad guy when you can just enable them.

Am I an idiot or isn’t the “pip vs conda vs poetry” line talking about package management?

This is what I was going to say.

• If they’re a dev WSL is a godsend for development.
• If they are looking to move away from windows, dual boot or live cd/thumb drive are good ways to test things out.

I think this is the best response in this thread.

Software engineering is a lot more than just writing some lines of code and requires more thought and planning than can be realistically put into a prompt.

Should cross post this under “boring dystopia”.

A better take in my opinion is university and college should be for the pursuit of knowledge and anything you’re doing to make money should be a trade school.

There is good reason for people should study all sorts of fields in university, it’s just been corrupted by capitalism/greed.

I wouldn’t say worst, but maybe greatest difference in expectation vs reality - “My Time at Portia”.

Cutscenes and voice acting were janky. The UI felt like it was originally an MMO and feels odd for a single player game. The gameplay loop felt tedious and seemed to disrespect the player’s time.

Maybe I needed to give it more time, but for a game that I thought had generally good/great reviews, it wasn’t clicking for me.

I think that’s because in computer science most master/slave nomenclature comes from hardware with a command/control structure (still notable in things like Spark where the namenode/master node controls the data nodes).

GIT just took naming conventions from other existing design patterns (although I should probably look up sources to verify that assumption).

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. Stories in the first 5 seasons mostly had a non-current events focus, but admittedly did make references to both current and past events.

The best episodes are just interesting stories - “Parasite Lost”, “Time Keeps Slippin”, “Hell is Other Robots”.

LLM based technology has been shown to have biases in randomness, there was an article a while back experimenting with coin flips showing a lack of true randomness.

Its cause it’s about token prediction, so their is forced priority behind the scenes whether or not that is visible to the user.

Its the same reason why when you ask an image generator to create “a person from India” you get a man in a turbin a majority of the time.

The thing that kills me is there is no way to buy movies/tv shows without DRM. I don’t want my content locked to some service that can dissappear at any point.

Music, Games, books/comics, all have DRM free options (although games are more miss than hit in that regard).

With things like wsl, conda has also become less useful. Anaconda is terrible software and the need for conda managed packages is mostly lost outside of the windows OS in my opinion.

Yeah they took that prediction an odd step too far.

Yeah, you rarely hear people complain about music streaming apps because they don’t have (as much of) an exlueitivy problem. Apple/Google/Spotify/etc. Are competing on service/cost/features.

Look up reinforcement learning, it’s the branch or ML/AI that Alphazero was based on. Video games are actually a main focus area for that kind of research.

As for beating Baba is You, I’m not sure. OpenAI did make an AI that could beat people in Dota - https://openai.com/research/openai-five/

Maybe not the same thing as FPS chess, but a great chess rougelike with guns is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1972440/Shotgun_King_The_Final_Checkmate/

Where’s my water is a water physics game that’s been around for a long time.

I don’t know why you’re getting down voted, inflation and wage growth are two different things. Inflation is around targeted levels, which is good. Wage growth still being low or suppressed isnt great, but a different matter.

Its true that getting inflation under control doesn’t fix high relative prices, but it does stop them from getting higher.

You don’t have to use the app, the website is fine. However, with dominos if you aren’t using one of their coupon “deals” you’re overpaying for their food.

Their whole gimic is how the “coupons” save you money, but it’s not fast food prices without them.

That’s like 50% of all tip calculations nowadays. It’s really obnoxious and feels like it’s trying to make you feel guilty for tipping an appropriate amount, but taxes and service charges aren’t part of the service.
