Kids today something something attention spans what with the social media grumble grumble back when I was that age, dammit.

Good to know you can just nope the PSN login. I haaaate games requiring accounts for single-player experiences, but if you can just say no, I don’t resent them asking as much.

It’s not ideal to need a launcher

So… I guess GoG is ideal then, because you don’t need a launcher for GoG games. You download the installers and boot up the game directly. I often get Steam to launch them instead, for the controller support. The GoG launcher is strictly optional.

I cast Pass Without Trace

Playing Diplomacy I’m pretty sure violates the Geneva convention.

Mine is not a Tesla, and its range is exaggerated… Or at least its range has a hidden asterisk that would read “under ideal conditions with a gentle driving style.” It self-adjusts based on my recent driving history, and I mostly don’t let the battery get low enough that I have to care about how precise it is… But it definitely skews heavily optimistic, especially when I first bought the car. It’s roughly the same in that regard as a Tesla is, according to the Tesla drivers I know.

Whoa really? How did you figure it out? I’d love to do that with my car, even if it’s a pain.

It’s “fairest,” right? So maybe the mirror just saw her doing stuff like meticulously cutting a cake into evenly-sized pieces instead of portioning out bigger ones for herself and her cronies. That’d be plausible for a 7 year old.

Four! I thought oh his puke looks like a Pacman pill because space people eat space food and I guess it’s like that.

How did you explain how McDobalds knows when you’re broke or in a hurry?

Damn great username btw 👌

That’s immensely expensive though, and not guaranteed to work because much of that stuff is still research stage. You’re right that paring down the models to make them leaner and more specialized is the primary direction that current research is pursuing, but it’s far from certain at this point how to do it, how well it will work, and how small you can get them before they start to fall apart. Not something game studios are likely to gamble their budgets on, at least not yet.

We’re nowhere near the “just hire a guy to trim it down instead of hiring writers” stage, and it’s unclear yet whether or not that’s where we’ll end up. We could pull off “just hire a guy to fine-tune an existing foundation model,” but that doesn’t make them smaller.

It’s just less visible/explicit. It’s still bad press when it gets noticed and called out like in this thread, it’s just sneakier.

Security implications?

People working with these technologies have known this for quite awhile. It’s nice of Apple’s researchers to formalize it, but nobody is really surprised-- Least of all the companies funnelling traincars of money into the LLM furnace.

I think you mean “Sacrilege” or maybe “Sacrilegious.” That means “The violation of something sacred.”

Sacrosanct means “sacred and beyond question,” which is related, but kind of the opposite of what you mean.

Okay but how does starting a secure shell help?

What if I’m already pretty good at Python and C? :)

How do you learn? I have some ESP32s that I’ve messed around a little bit with, and done some neat stuff…But I don’t have an electronics background at all and I often have trouble even figuring out how to power the damn things safely.

I feel like you just shout things into the void and people give you points for agreeing with you.

Lol at first I thought this was a direct criticism of the person you were replying to.
