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

Yeah I was really disappointed when I heard it was a cloud solution. I think it’s due to complexity of python runtime environments, but I doubt msoft minds the opportunity to take more control.

My biggest issue with it is that it runs everything in the cloud. So you’re shipping your data to Microsoft and have latency to run anything. Seems insecure and added complexity to get a bit more out of excel.

Yeah, nothing like overinflating the value of things to make your 12k retro console emulator bust sound impressive. Pretty sure stopping a single shipping container from China would find more contraband.

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.

Yeah, the person above you seems to be ignoring the fact that them breaching their air space for the first time is an escalation, not to mention China has generally been escalating it’s rhetoric recently.

It could be argued that China is feeling pressured to escalate (due to external events or US escalating trade/policy stances), but threatening a missile system is more signaling “keep this up and we’ll respond”.

Yeah, my understanding is Disney is partially at fault for a lot of these flops. I don’t think they’d make a KOTOR or Jedi Knight game.

Which is so underrated, I’d put it as better than any of the recent 2D Mario games. Years later and Mario Wonder doesn’t even come close to the music levels in Rayman Legends.

A lot of the web used to run on flash. Then apple comes around and says “flash is terrible and insecure”. Within a number of years everything moved away from flash, so it’s definitely possible to force the web in new directions.

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.

And customs should be waiving the fee, given the passengers were basically entrapped by the airline. A simple “hey we need to confiscate those apples, then you’re free to go” would have made this a non-issue.

So the issue is not that they don’t have diverse training data, the issue is that not all things get equal representation. So their trained model will have biases to produce a white person when you ask generically for a “person”. To prevent it from always spitting out a white person when someone prompts the model for a generic person, they inject additional words into the prompt, like “racially ambiguous”. Therefore it occasionally encourages/forces more diversity in the results. The issue is that these models are too complex for these kinds of approaches to work seamlessly.

They did add some new maps and characters from what I saw/read, but I think its probably primarily driven by them repackaging everything for the new consoles.

I had the same exact thought the first time I saw her. They look surprisingly similar.

I think the point they’re making is that these things (drugs and games) are being designed to be addicting. Game companies literally hire physcologist to design systems that play into addictive personalities. It’s unfair to put all the blame on the person given how these companies act.

The difference with the analogy you’re making is that the significance/value of my marriage is not dependent on other marriages. My Xbox continuing to get support does however depend on M$oft valuing their hardware. Opening up their exclusives seems like they’re communicating that they don’t care about hardware sales (therefore the hardware itself) as much as game/software sales.

So the reason why I’m concerned if they decide to go this route is that they won’t maintain the hardware I own. That’s probably not 100% accurate and I “technically” knew the risk when I bought it, but still not a great feeling.

Overall though I’m anti exclusives, so longterm I would hope it’s a good thing.

Yes, and most likely more of a paradigm shift. The way deep learning models work is largely around static statistical models. The main issue here isn’t the statistical side, but the static nature. For AGI this is a significant hurdle because as the world evolves, or simply these models run into new circumstances, the models will fail.

Its largely the reason why autonomous vehicles have sorta hit a standstill. It’s the last 1% (what if an intersection is out, what if the road is poorly maintained, etc.) that are so hard for these models as they require “thought” and not just input/output.

LLMs have shown that large quantities of data seem to approach some sort of generalized knowledge, but researchers don’t necessarily agree on that https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.07682. So if we can’t get to more emergent abilities, it’s unlikely AGI is on the way. But as you said, combining and interweaving these systems may get something close.

It’s not that machine learning isn’t making progress, it’s just many people speculate that AGI will require a different way of looking at AI. Deep Learning, while powerful, doesn’t seem like it can be adapted to something that would resemble AGI.

It depends on what you’re calling AI. The LLM hype may die down, but Ml/AI in general has been continuing to grow and expand for well over a decade. It’s just unlikely that all the things being prophesied right now will come to fruition.

All the gameplay I’ve seen looks fine, it’s really seems to just matter if you like looter shooters.
