And they should. They want us to remember the games, to look forward to 4, and completely forget there was ever a movie.

With any luck they’ll single handedly keep “AAAA” from catching on, because nobody with a shred of pride would want their multi-million dollar project connected to anything that was said to be AAAA.

Yeah? That’s… how LLMs work. It doesn’t KNOW anything, it’s a glorified auto-fill. It knows what words look good after what’s already there, it doesn’t care whether anything it’s saying is correct, it doesn’t KNOW if it’s correct. It doesn’t know what correct even is. It isn’t made to lie or tell the truth, those concepts are completely unknown to it’s function.

LLMs like ChatGPT are explicitly and only good at composing replies that look good. They are Convincing. That’s it. It will confidently and convincingly make shit up.

Fallout 76 said the same thing. How’d that work out?

I do full size candy bars, but I’ll also drop a handful of loose candy corn instead into the bag of someone who’s clearly too old.

Technically it’s possible, but it’s neither probable nor likely, and it’s especially not effective. From what I understand, a lot of devs who do try to use something like ChatGPT to write code end up spending as much or more time debugging it, and just generally trying to get it to work, than they would have if they’d just written it themselves. Additionally, you have to know how to code to be able to figure out why it’s not working, and even when all of that is done, it’s almost impossible to get it to integrate with a larger project without just rewriting the whole thing anyway.

So to answer the question you intend to ask, no, LLMs will not be replacing programmers any time soon. They may serve as a tool of dubious value, but the idea that programmers will be replaced is only taken seriously by by people who manage programmers, and not the programmers themselves.

I’m surprised to see generally positive reviews given just how entirely Mid the previews all looked.

Spoken like someone who manages programmers instead of working as one.

The chief difference between here, and Reddit, is that there is no accumulated tally of votes here. Someone can “karma farm” all they want here, and they will have exactly nothing to show for it. Their account doesn’t have a number going up, there is no final score that marks them out as any kind of special.

Adding any kind of system to denote “consistent positive contribution” as you mentioned, or any kind of actually accumulated score, regardless of rolling delay, would only provide incentive for “karma farming” that does not currently exist.

Your proposed solutions would create the problem you’re trying to solve, a problem which does not currently exist.

And millions of people want Elon Musk to get one himself.

Excretion does remove thermal energy from the body, but it also removes mass, and as a result your heat to mass ratio doesn’t change in any meaningful way.

“Keeping it in” would technically make your body temperature slower to change (Up or down) because there is slightly more mass to heat or cool. Excreting would technically make your body temperature slightly more susceptible to change, again because there is less mass to heat or cool. But really, those changes are inconsequential.

The actual cooling would occur on intake, not excretion. When you drink cold water, your body heat will dissipate into that water until the temperatures match, resulting in a slight reduction in temperature.

So in summary, excretion itself does nothing to cool you down, even though it’s taking thermal energy away, but the entire cycle of drinking cold water, heating it in the body, and then excreting it would reduce body temperature ever so slightly.

Your use of Cryptography is probably roughly on the level of “Having a strong password.”

The application of quantum computers will largely in in BREAKING security. You’re not going to have a quantum-security module in your phone or home computer.

I hope they all agree and go in one big wave, because otherwise stories of the early adopters being conscripted to die in Ukraine might dissuade the rest of them.

This. _/s

So if they credited you the $0.19 would you feel better? That’s what 9 hours at $15 a month works out to. 19 cents. Are you actually throwing this big a fit over 19 cents? That’s already rounded up by the way.

Am I the only one who sets the expectations SUPER fucking low when the announcement includes that it’s an Unreal Engine 5 game? Since when is that a selling point? When is that even important? It makes it sound like they’re so unconvinced of their own game that they’re hoping people will care just because of the engine.

Man, literally there to compete in the Olympics, a lifetime level achievement, is it that hard to just keep your shit together for that little while?

Welcome to capitalism. Infinite growth is required, and when a market is well and truly saturated the next step is cutting more and more costs.

Incidentally, Cancer also pursues a similar strategy.

That just means their stakeholders deserve the financial ruin that’s coming to them.

Seriously, it sounds like some “Both Sides” bullshit.
