Close enough, it’s not blocking a space. Better to be secure, but got to take what wins we can get. It’s possible that when that cart was brought there the corral was full and the person retrieving them didn’t get the loner. It’s like the pictures of the car parked across several spots without the context that there was snowfall and no lines were visible then.
I have heard that over the years, I think that may have been hit or miss (as with anything in production). Once I had something to fight the power swings I never had an issue with my power supply again. Perhaps the last one I got was from a “better” run.
Brownouts, even ones so minor the human eye can’t see, are killers to electronics. Learned that decades ago when I got my first computer (C-64) and had to return a few before we figured out it was bad power. Building code ought to include protection within the main breaker box. Maybe in some places they have such a thing.
The airlines can maximize that idea as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks\_(1781\_ship)#/media/File:Slaveshipposter.jpg
Some VPNs will definitely trigger reCaptcha, even if signed on to Google. I just have to hop over to another IP and suddenly everything is fine again.
I try to be impartial and let them dig the hole themselves. Silence so far is damning.

As a Gen-X I have to ask what exactly is meant by that. That you openly admit cyber bullying gives some hint, but I’d rather get a self definition than to assume.
Because before Firefox I used Netscape. It’s had its ups and downs but it’s never been bad to me to the point of considering moving to anything else. So a combo of legacy and that it works.
I want to say (and this could be totally wrong and bad memory) that in an official discussion (in IRC?) about the game’s progress that very fact was brought up by someone, and Brad McQuaid (head designer) agreed that it would be unlikely to happen in the real game and was just used as a appealing demonstration of the basic idea of the game.
I do remember a few online chats with the developers, just can’t be sure of my recollection of that specific topic.
I appreciate the work that went into making P99 happen, but I made the mistake of trying to recapture nostalgia and played P99 for a while. It just wasn’t the same feeling as when new, even though it’s the same code. It’s why I won’t ever touch the Ultima Online servers that I know are out there, they also aren’t the same as what I played in the beginning. Just cherish the memories of such epic games and look forward to new ones that hopefully are able to capture the same magic of their own.
This video was what I first saw, beginning my intense following of the game developments and then jumping into the beta when it started. Then years of playing afterwards.
That’s not even realistic. I know that Starfield isn’t meant to be a simulator, but if you put in something to try and be “real”, you should do it right. Gravity would affect the weight of something, but the inertia is still the same. Moving and stopping a big object in space with no gravity at all is still hard to do.
Unless you use a VPN/browser security addons (don’t know which breaks it). The “register your device” has never stuck for me. But it’s not a big deal even then, just another step as long as there are a few options to choose in case one method isn’t possible at the time. The “are you a robot” ones though…I really need to get a bot to solve the ones that still pop up for me (definitely VPN).
I remember a friend dragging me to the arcade to see what he had found there. It was Q-Bert. Now of course it was a wild game, but he said, “no wait, watch this”, proceeded to jump off the blocks, and I heard the mechanical clunk at the bottom of the machine. Someone came up with that just for the F of it…brilliant.
True, and then because it’s a black box there wouldn’t be a known issue at all. Or maybe it would be much less of an issue because the words might have blended others into the mix, and his style wouldn’t be as obvious in the outputs, and/or it would be easier to dismiss. Did the training involve actual input of his name, or was that pulled from the source trained on? How much control was in the training?
I totally agree with you on protecting the basics of creativity and growth. I think the core issue is using “imitate” here. Is that what the LLM is doing, or is that an anthropomorphism of some sense that there’s intelligence guiding the process? I know it seems like I’m nitpicking things to further my point, but the fact that this is an issue to many even outside artwork says there is a question here of what is and isn’t okay.
And yet the artist’s name is used to push the weights towards pictures in their style. I don’t know what the correct semantics are for it, nor the legalities. That’s part of the problem, the tech is ahead of our laws, as is usually the case.
they charge money to generate his style of art without compensating him.
That’s really the big thing, not just here but any material that’s been used to train on without permission or compensation. The difference is that most of it is so subtle it can’t be picked out, but an artist style is obviously a huge parameter since his name was being used to call out those particular training aspects during generations. It’s a bit hypocritical to say you aren’t stealing someone’s work when you stick his actual name in the prompt. It doesn’t really matter how many levels the art style has been laundered, it still originated from him.
That’s how language models work. It’s grouped into AI as is so many things, but it’s not AGI. It could open the doors to AGI as a component, but isn’t actually thinking about its answers. And those probabilities are driven by training reinforcement which includes the bias of giving an answer the human will receive well. Of course it’s going to “lie” or make up things if that improves the acceptance of the answer given.

Languages change over time. As long as the intent is clear, don’t get hung up on what is and isn’t “correct”. “You’re welcome” probably was seen as extreme at some point itself.
