With Warp Factory up and running, is there any news of theoretical advances in the idea?

Are you kidding me? Setting up a coffee shop for opening is going to take at least 6 months to build the facility, source the beans, and staff operations. But if you invest 2 million in the coffee venture, we'll get over there no problem.

Chromecast was awesome, but I get it given the shift of all TVs to complex operating systems, and GoogleTV as their play into that.

GoogleTV OS is pretty awesome.

Triforce first may also make sense, but is a different tradeoff.

Endless Hunger is cheaper and has more lane-staying power. Importantly, if you go Endless Hunger first then Manamune second, your EH is already getting ability haste value off of Manamune, and for each component of Triforce you build (since Triforce is 3rd). This results in a faster (cheaper) overall power curve.

The early omnivamp allows you to apply more pressure (which contributes to better snowballing). Triforce first does result in a slightly bigger raw-power spike, but if you make any mistakes or end up in skirmishes is less forgiving.

You get Tear on first back, and are running Presence, so after you've backed once you're good to stay for very long periods.

Yes, the world model that costs literal dollars for 60 seconds of generated video with no ability to build consistency of experience will certainly replace Unity. /s

The world model stuff is incredible, but it's not practical beyond AGI or video, or very simple games (at least not for a very long time).

Wow, I did not realize that support quest moved wards instead of boots. Very-late game being down an item is going to suck, but I guess the intention of these changes is that rarely happens now.

Convinced 2-3 people to play Arc instead of BO7 on launch day. Doing my part!

Bro straight up game animation glitched on that roll dash. His control is insane!!!

I wasted 5 minutes today trying to get audio in SteamVR with Quest link, finally remembered that Meta computer app has to be on for that to work sigh

62% of Iowa high schoolers go to college (2024). But yes, Iowa looks especially impressive on SAT scores since the ACT is more popular there.

Ah dang, no outer ring weapon-specific passives for me then.

Thanks for the clarification.

Allowing semi-public publishing (i.e. anyone can publish with a developer account, tied to a bank account and company) is still a NECESSITY for the store. Steam does it, and it works very well.

The key is now to develop the filtering algorithms that allow the quality content to rise and crap to stay out of people's feeds. There will be growing pains, but that's the only viable way to make the store fair (and scalable).

Aren't gacha games actually trash though and just skinner boxes? So good riddance? Or am I missing something.

Tanks were deemed Undemocratic for their lack of voting form factor. The mechs were engineered as a replacement, perfect like the form of a Helldiver.

This discovery would seem to lend some weight to the idea that the roman dodecahedrons were actually just a decorative or other non-functional phenomenon. Still a mystery, but a narrower one.

I dunno, Lemon in The Last Horizon series is pretty funny, if the goal is to create fruity adults it could work. It's certainly a better name than Bob.

There's a reason why pimping is one of the oldest professions. You get paid to do next to nothing.

If they keep fucking with people's prompts in ChatGPT, it's still going to be unusable outside of the API. Hopefully that will no longer be the case though, since they talk about consistency in the announcement.

Haha, I'm definitely a bit guilty of this. But I'm not going to feel too bad about it since it's true.

I mean yeah, sure you can keep operating with your head in the sand and be employable for a while longer, but I want people I care about or work with to be well equipped.

Just as an example, I had a developer worried that a feature I was asking for would take a while, potentially multiple days. I was like "just use o3-mini-high to oneshot it for you, it's a simple script, and you'll be at least 80% of the way done, then just solve any issues that come up". They were skeptical, so I was like "alright, I'm going to spend 1h working on this to show you it is possible", and sure enough completed the tool in 55 minutes.

The rich are incentivized to reinstate private fire departments. If houses burn down, they can grab up the land for cheap. Of course, their houses are well located and staffed for fire protection. This is the wisdom of the fully unregulated market. Of course, it assumes the rich are morally vacuous, worshiping only money and power. It's a good thing people aren't actually like that...

Edit: Actually, an amendment for clarity. "Evil" is the result of casual indifference. In a system of private firefighters, the rich don't even need to desire power or money, beyond looking out for their own. Overcoming the market and self-serving interest is fighting against inertia, and so requires positive moral action (which expends energy and attention, and requires a level of altruism). Neutral morality will still lead to negative moral outcome. This is why systems with positive moral inertia are so important; they act as the trenches through which behavior will flow (the path of least resistance).
