@thebigbulldozer @wewmoid3 The bronze thing? It's a Vajra/Dorje, though I don't know why he would have one. They've been in a bunch of games, though.

@Mountianmanlurk @NEET_Shamanka A lot of them are just a couple of generations of some hard work and a lot of luck, maybe smoothed out by general upper-class connections. Old nobility doesn't seem that much better than "my dad happened to work for Fairchild in the 60s so I have Silicon Valley contacts".

@Workus6 @mycoliza It means "suitable for teaching (someone something)" - not a word that comes up every day for me, but if you works in education or literature or something it might be more normal.

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@evietvie @mycoliza Basically "instructive" or "suitable for teaching".

@jpFromTlon @keysmashbandit There's the other camp of "I know how they did this and that's why I'm not impressed" - rendering another frame that seems like it could follow from the last few plus your input is a small side step from video gen, and they don' seem to have solved the state/rules problems.

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@ShawnFumo @__HMYS__ @keysmashbandit My personal ambivalence to this is that it seems to be video generation based on the last second or so plus your input - and yet people rave over it replacing the "huge state machine with a bit of graphics output on top" experience of gaming.

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@beophisto @keysmashbandit We absolutely will not have good AAA-quality games based on this approach in two years. This is about creating the visual experience of playing the game, while a lot of the gameplay is in the exact mechanics - which this approach fails at. Gamers want *predictability* in systems.

@Tween2TeenBooks @oldenoughtosay Despite the capitalist novelty of a privately owned volcano, I think we still have to admit that its activity is still an uncontrollable natural phenomenon.

@one_big_duck @selcukorkmaz @jm_alexia What are you even talking about? A lot of research questions come down to "we finally got the money to measure some markers in these patients", and the stats are two lines of code that runs in ~50ms on an old laptop, and gives a reproducible, correct, answer. Why add ML?

@trickylabyrinth Defunctland's 1:43 video about all the variations of Fastpass at Disney parks goes off on a queueing theory and simulation tangent and is surprisingly interesting:

@MaMaJulie3 @Douglas_Wolf_ @AP There's different applications of the same underlying technology, and I'd personally have been quite happy if text and image generation was never made available to the general public.

@likhnywala @theashrb I think they all have cafeterias with warm food, and mostly the same menus everywhere. If you want Swedish meatballs with potatoes, brown sauce, and lingonberry jam, they can probably help you.

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@MaMaJulie3 @Douglas_Wolf_ @AP Those models also do better because you're only asking it to pick between a couple of options for each chunk of image (e.g. normal/tumor/background), instead of having to handle free-form English or any possible photo; it's much easier to train a model when there's clear answers.

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@MaMaJulie3 @Douglas_Wolf_ @AP The AI models you use for "point out tumors in this CT scan" or whatever are very specifically trained on just that, and you validate them by comparing its output to big stacks of manually annotated images. The better ones are on par with a good (and non-overworked) professional.

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@likhnywala @theashrb Does the Ikea restaurant count? It's Swedish food and there's a lot of them.

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@barrkel @marksanborn @kerckhove_ts Java's approach of letting you not handle exceptions, but you have to declare which ones your code could throw/forward, is honestly a good compromise. People used to complain about it being verbose, but compared to that ...

[Daniel Nebdal @dnebdal]

@soc1alcontag1on @yeotjr @aoyamaszn There seems to be an independent Scandi derivation through Gaius/Caius, but honestly who knows; all it takes is one Danish sailor hearing a name in Wales in 1270 and liking it.

@Ttyler63l @colin_fraser Could be bio mom and step mom, or an adoption, and of course there are a number of ways a same-sex couple can end up raising a child. A fair few children have more than one "mom" or "dad" in some sense, independent of the biology.

@marketswithmay @compound248 Which is a big if, of course - but it's a good point. Still, it sounds like he let the established markets deteriorate while gambling on China? I can see how that'd spook investors.

Also I'm not the OP. :)
