the resultant wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour)

Think you can outrun a bear? Because the molasses was faster than a bear

Doesn’t grok also have a standalone app? US politicians just explicitly and vocally support child porn, these days.

Tim Sweeney, the guy who sounds like he gets off on X’s child porn and probably spent a lot of time on Trump and Epstein’s Pedophile Island? That Tim Sweeney? 🤔

The heavy-handedness of that absolutely terrifies me, but at least it asks for confirmation first.

Don’t forget that while this is all happening, Tim Sweeney (Epic CEO) is actively defending child porn on X.

alias fuck='sudo !!' is probably the best thing I’ve ever added to my profile

Good. I hope they choke on their new pricing

Tim Sweeney vocally supports child porn and deep fake porn? He certainly looks like the type of creeper, so I guess I’m not that surprised.

I wonder how many times he’s been to Trump and Epstein’s Pedophile Island 🤔

I wouldn’t trust a single ICE or DHS agent to do the right thing in this situation. We have proof of at least one Chinese tank crew doing so.

How do you define “better”?

Most serious tech companies have just straight-up stopped all remote interviews. It’s simply too fraught with cheating, fake people, and foreign operatives. Interviews are in person and include hand-written code, because we’re back to high school trust issues baybeeeeee

Most answers on SO are either from a doc page, are common patterns found in multiple books, or is mostly opinion-based. Most code AIs are significantly better at the first two without even being trained on SO (which I wouldn’t want anyway - SO really does suck nowadays)

It’s literally in the title of the post

Better yet, isn’t Sony doing that exact same thing by thinking that putting an AI autoplay function into the games is what all players want or at least a gross majority?

…no? Where on earth does that come from?

Does adding a higher difficulty mean that the dev thinks all players want to play on it? Does adding accessibility features imply that everyone wants to play with subtitles? Does adding colorblind mode mean that they believe all of their players are colorblind?

The same logic can be used for difficulty settings: you play it, in harder and harder settings, to have a new/added challenge.

I can absolutely guarantee that 99.9% of players do not ever replay a game they’ve beaten. You’re generalizing your own values and goals and they’re absolutely not as common as you think they are

MMOs are the only modern games where anyone really cares if the player cheats

…what?

“For the first time, artists and game designers can take full ownership of world generation, with complete control over the final result,” Collins-Laflamme summarises. “This is a fundamental shift away from a world shaped almost solely by programmers.”

So… they just have no idea how other games work? Interesting thing to brag about…

Hytale’s world was always intended to be curated and procedural. This means designers have significant control over what appears in the world and how, even though it’s procedural.

This is literally just describing the gradient that is curated <-> procedural. Your game falls somewhere on that line, full stop. Again, it feels like they’re just flaunting their own ignorance, here? Maybe it’s just arrog- sorry, confidence that they’re doing it “right” where no one else has.

I’m not trying to shit on the game - I’m super excited to see where they go - but this article (and specifically Hytale’s world-gen explainer) are just absolutely ridiculous.

I took that as her comparing two different Waffle Houses and the one with the race war was less dramatic than the other

That’s just me sober

I feel like mine’s the opposite… the first side is perfect and then I overcook the second because the pan got hotter

So not really any materially different from 10 years ago?
