Unless you know that guy working on both API management and the identity provider.

If, hypothetically, someone came to that person with a problem like that, they might do it just for fun. Allegedly.

“Prompt yourself with some bullshit so that it looks like you’re doing something productive.”

Who knows, maybe that’s how you attain AGI? What is a more human kind of intelligence than looking for ways to be a lazy fuck?

Nothing tells that AI is a clever use of your ressources like enforcing a mandatory AI query quota for your employees, and having them struggle to find anything it’s good at and failing.

I have done semi complex move combos with Cappy in SMO, not sure what you consider “the” tech though.

Doesn’t matter. It’s cool to pull off, but it’s not required in any way. And most importantly in the end those combos are not programmed that way, they’re a string of independent moves that are directly associated to their button.

I have no idea what is supposed to connect “get a boost” to “rapidly alternate left and right direction buttons while you drift”.

The way to make MK more skill based was to balance item distribution, which they started doing decently after MKDS.

It’s not like drifting is automatic in modern MK (well, it is in auto mode, but it’s meant for complete beginners and it sucks for anyone who knows how to play). You’re still calling all the shots regarding when to drift and for how long. It’s just less annoying to do.

You’re calling that “dumbed down”, but I’d call the old input arbitrary. I don’t see the point of hiding a major gameplay mechanic behind a complex input. You don’t use a cryptic button combo to jump in a platform game.

I didn’t like MKDS very much.

I like how they got rid of the left-right bullshit on drifting after it. It’s just annoying and achieves nothing. And it’s especially bad having to do that on a d-pad.

I also think Wii is the one that really started balancing items a lot more fairly, though 7 and 8 refined it even more.

My parent’s TV is absolutely terrible, and the source menu is a big part of it.

It doesn’t show sources that have not sent any input since the TV was turned on. So when trying to get the Switch on it, I’d need to start the console first, then push the source button… and the menu is so slow to appear that the Switch has gone back to sleep mode before I can reach it…

Most remote design is honestly atrocious. Somehow they keep hiding “source” in random spots, when it should be one of the most important buttons. The obscure pictograms are all over the place, and most buttons will never be used by anyone.

Regarding how quickly Instagram started sending them personal stuff… Letting an app access your location, especially if it’s not a one-time authorisation, is basically telling it who you are.

There was a newspaper investigation recently on data brokers, they approached one to get a sample of their data. It was “anonymous” data, only in the sense it didn’t contain names. Using Apple’s advertiser ID, they had no problem building profiles from specific devices and could easily identify a lot of their own employees, simply because their routine around a location made it clear it was their workplace. And from there, it was not hard to find out on the data what their home address was.

It probably took only location for the burner phone Instagram to know that this is either the same person, or someone closely related to them.

Not sure, but I understood that comment to mean “it would be worth getting angry against YouTube if the videos they removed were about rufus”, not that rufus itself is wrong.

I love that game, but if you are not enjoying it at that point I am not sure I can see it getting better for you for the rest of it.

Though if you just beat Orochi, that’s more like a quarter of the game if memory serves. Ōkami is quite longer than your classic Legend of Zelda game, I’d say for me it took a bit more than twice as long to complete the first time compared to, say, Twilight Princess.

Its story is more like a series of legends rather than a unified storyline, which didn’t bother me since it fits the mythology theme.

“and you can buy that exact SD card model for the low, low price of $62.99 on Amazon RIGHT. NOW!!!”

That might not be the weirdest, most awkward product placement I ever saw, but close.

EDIT : for those not seeing it, yeah, the article actually mentions that price and has a direct link to Amazon.

Friday’s what now?

Castlevania 3 sounds quite better on FDS indeed, but cartridge Metroid is by far the worst case of this in my opinion.

Part of the soundtrack is missing channels that contribute to the main melody. Even the now iconic item fanfare was barely recognizable in that version.

Also of course there’s the fact the FDS Metroid had actual saves on the disk, and they just didn’t implement them in the cartridge version, unlike Legend of Zelda. Instead we got that painfully long password system.

It’s not about the concept of AI, it’s about current developments in generative AI, which is just one approach for it but has largely hijacked the term. This one could burst and disappear, hopefully replaced by something better, but the general field of AI would not.

Also, I’m not sure where you are going with that argument. Despite being the subject of stories for millennia, nobody has invented dragons yet.

I am guessing this is a rethorical question, but, they already forcibly flag videos as “made for kids” against the creators’ will (and despite very clear audience statistics proving it’s not).

So yeah, they are totally using their magic 8-ball to restrict your content.

Worse, since generating a whole bunch of potentially correct text is basically effortless now, you’ve got a new batch of idiots just “contributing” to discussions by leaving a regurgitated wall of text they possibly didn’t even read themselves.

So not only those are not fact checking, when you point that you didn’t ask for a LLM’s opinion, they’re like “what’s the problem? Is any of this wrong?” Because it’s entirely your job to check something they copy-pasted in 5 seconds.

My kindle is from 2011, got it for free from someone getting rid of it. It’s old and dumb as shit and Amazon fortunately doesn’t care about it anymore.

Since I got it, it never had an Amazon DRM-ed e-book loaded on it. I intend to keep it that way.
