absolutely… all the people praising this, like… those signs exist for traffic flow and safety… it’s so incredibly selfish to just say fuck everyone else, i need to turn right and even more selfish to avoid repercussions but making it “okay” for everyone else
maybe the sign was wrong, sure… but we don’t have that information… without more information, it’s an incredibly selfish act. dude has main character syndrome
little measurable difference? the last time they rewrote something they replaced the start menu with fucking react
the difference will be measurable and enormous
that’s absolutely true, and i’m sure that as tooling and workflow gets better these solutions will become standard. for the moment it’s all pretty haphazard, and i just don’t think it’s necessarily malicious intent or lying exactly… i think it could have easily been just miscommunication and/or legitimate mistake
afaik there were 2 issues here: there was a placeholder asset left in the game upon release, and the rules of the award were no AI assets during development either. i think the first can be easily explained by it being accidental (they replaced the texture very quickly) and the second can easily be explained by miscommunication between teams
i can see how this would happen though: marketing team simplistically asks about AI assets, dev team says no because it’s not in the final product that they’re aware of, and that miscommunication is exactly that: neither team is trying to be dishonest, it’s just that some information got lost along the way
their award should have been rescinded for sure
but also that shouldn’t tarnish the reputation of the studio going forward as long as they apologise and it was legitimately internal miscommunication rather than an attempt to deceive
yeah i don’t even think the dishonesty was necessarily dishonesty… i just think perhaps the marketing team wasn’t fully informed. i can absolutely see dev teams saying no to “AI use” not having been told that the question applied to the whole dev process, and marketing not understanding that that information was important
i have no problem with AI placeholders. i think that’s the right way to use AI… and dishonesty is a problem… miscommunication is really not a problem
but i also think that rescinding the award is the right call! but that shouldn’t tarnish the studios reputation in the future if they apologise and explain what happened
yeah they do certainly exist, but bog standard “red light cameras”… ie single purpose cameras are not that kind of problem… imo, as long as they’re deployed to combat actual issues they’re very much a beneficial tool
i think it’s important to differentiate these new kinds of cameras from the single purpose cameras so that arguments against them can be made independently
going straight from nothing to 30g/day (RDI) absolutely causes diarrhoea because it irritates your gut lining
if you follow directions like metamucil has to increase by a g or 2 per week then you’ll be right
you also need insoluble fibre, and psyllium only has soluble fibre
adjacent YSKs:
i’d insert
red light cameras - at least in australia - are stock standard canon DSLRs… they take images, but not video
there are some newer ones that do things like photos of people using their phones stopped at lights etc, but generally speed/red light and “single purpose” cameras will just be doing stills, and wouldn’t be too useful for anything other than a single photo when the sensor triggers it
that’s all irrelevant though… the rule is the rule and they got caught
people should be allowed to have awards for games which only use humans, and if a game is caught cheating they should be disqualified
if they want to compete for some awards, these aren’t the awards for them: there are others
it’s kinda irrelevant to the make it to production part though: the rule is no gen ai used during development… there’s no ifs, buts, or maybes here: there definitively was, and nobody is denying that
it’s irrelevant whether you agree with the rule or not… the award is for games that didn’t use AI during development. the game should not have originally been in contention for the award
i tend to agree this is the right way to use AI assets, but this isn’t the award for them… it doesn’t matter if it was accidental, if it was removed before release, or anything else
yyyyyyyyes, but also it’s not like he “was driving”… he used a car to break through their fence in order to “save” the dog: he didn’t get in the car to go for a drive and accidentally ram it through the house
that’s not to say it’s okay, but they’re very different things. context and intent are important
blowback and rallying your enemies.
imo exactly what’s happened with russia… pre-full-scale invasion nobody gave a shit about russia… even crimea tbh people were mostly indifferent
now? i dont know anyone real that doesn’t think the whole country can go to hell, and that russia always lies
the standard reaction to hearing about undersea cables being cut is: fuck russia; we should bomb their fucking ships those absolute cunts - even if we have no idea if it’s russia or not!
win or lose in ukraine, russia has lost so much - at least for the short-term
i would wager that these quickly get perverted
also economies of scale… industrial farming is well optimised for cheap and heavy; nothing else… when you add more things like flavour, you’re always going to sacrifice price or quantity
The software had a limit on the size of the feature file that was below its doubled size. That caused the software to fail.
this is not a rust problem… nor was the original problem of code writing entries to a file multiple times, and nor is the thing that made it worse: propagation of the poisoned file
the cloudflare issues were configuration… they have nothing even remotely relayed to any of this
perhaps… i guess the single directional execution model would help to prevent memory leaks, and components would help keep things relatively contained… and also javascript in general avoids whole classes of c/c++ bugs… but it’s also incredibly slow. imo it’s just not something you should write core system components in
to be clear, it’s not react that’s the problem here: its execution model is an excellent way of structuring UI… but something as core as the start menu just really isn’t something you should fuck around with slow languages with
and also, that’s not to say that FOSS shouldn’t do it - they’re open, and thus something like react makes it easier for devs to write plugs and extend etc… but that’s not an engineering concern for windows: they don’t get the luxury of using extensibility as an excuse
