Wow, I’m glad I have auto-renew enabled.

No one’s making billions of dollars. No one’s making a single dollar. Both games have absolutely no monetization.

That’s a patent, not copyright.

Both games are completely free and without any sort of monetization, I do think he definitely should have linked to the original game and taken it down when the original creator asked, but a fan remaking a game doesn’t sound that unusual

No-one is profiting, no one is losing anything, why does it matter?

it supports translating whole pages currently, its hidden in the hamburger menu though and doesn’t support all languages

Are a wiki and a discord mutually exclusive? They seem to fill very different roles.

No, I was wondering about the side of the guardrail facing the canal. If you look closely, there is a metal strip on that side too, which is not something I’ve seen here in the US. Maybe it’s just there to add extra strength? I guess traditional guardrails rely a lot on the guardrail deforming and acting like a net, which might cause a problem when the edge of the canal is so near, IDK

I doubt its ai - I don’t think AI would get that guardrail that consistent. It has that little hole in the exact same place over every bar, even the distant ones. Although, why is the guardrail double sided when there’s no road on the other side?

Nevermind, I found it on google maps.

Doesn’t a 3070 have less than 7k cores? A UHD 750 (relatively recent iGPU) only has 256.

And I don’t know the structure of JSON that well, but can’t tokens be made of multiple chars?

Currently any AI models that have the ability to make complex decisions are trained to recreate patterns from their training data. At its current state, you’d have to be pretty exceptionally stupid to make an AI that wants to kill you, and give it that ability at the same time. Of course - who knows what’s going on at all of these private corporations and military contractors, but I think regular war, fascism, and nuclear weapons are by orders of magnitude the bigger threat.

This really reminds me of the latest wendover video. It seems like large companies see small studios as an investment and take any chance to cash out and fire everyone as soon as it’s hurting their short term profits.

Depends, I think. In the same order of magnitude definitely.

Edit: this makes me wonder, is it possible to get an orthographic perspective with an ordinary size (but maybe not standard) lens on a normal camera?

It sounded to me like it was more of arrogance (‘I know better than everybody else’) than cost cutting. Although the part about not getting the design certified was probably for cost cutting and time saving reasons.

Because Linux isn’t really one thing. If the kernel developers do something bad, just fork the kernel and remove it.

Randal Munroe: “Losing your DNA would most likely result in abdominal pain, dizziness, rapid immune system collapse, and death within days or hours from either rapid systemic infection or systemwide organ failure”

It sounds like the full line will eventually go across most of Japan and operate in the same way as the test track, however it is expected to be very expensive, and room temperature superconductors would likely lower the cost.

All computer science papers are released on arXiv before publishing. It’s pretty normal.

Superconducter maglevs are feasible and have been in service for years. They are building a large line in Japan.
