@croloris Thank you, and Andrew, for the clarifications ^.^

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@croloris @FlohOfWoe @rikarends @ziglang I don't know how it played out with previous proposals, but this will be a good indicator of how zig can survive community crises. So far I like that it's mostly civil discussion. Keep up the good work but try not to lose a third of your selling points advertised on the homepage.

@TylerGlaiel @caseyyano I'm fairly sure the facebook metaverse thing was more expensive.

@williamlegate For a guy who has racked up so many recent Ls, it is crazy that he is just getting rid of the only W he had

After using ChatGPT to help me code for a few days now, I am slowly seeing some potential in how it will change how we code: not necessarily replacing programmers, but enabling us to work at a different layer of abstraction. https://t.co/PfFHGfS5Wk

@_jsolly @debarghya_das Unfortunately, the point of AI seems to be to make money :(. At least as long as it's a product of a corporation. Their goal tends to be: make profit.

@EricLengyel @FeerQuinte I assumed it was the insane level of piracy 😢. I don't expect those numbers to be included in the sales stats.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@EricLengyel @FeerQuinte I have a feeling you know why only 9% of sales are electronic versions...

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@gilessurname @TylerGlaiel You still need "path with less fire". The beauty of A* is that it can search arbitrary states. Example thing you can do with A* (and no need for other algs). Find the fewest moves between 2 chess configurations (obeying chess rules). It looks nothing like navigation, but is A*.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@gilessurname @TylerGlaiel Other solutions involve not doing A* and having something custom that kinda looks like A*.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@gilessurname @TylerGlaiel You really have to solve that A, B, C problem described in the article. That A* must assume that you can continue from B regardless of how you got there. You can't do that with cost alone. The most common way to do it is change the state space to have multiple distinc Bs.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@gilessurname @TylerGlaiel Essentially fixes A to C doesn't always go through B in the article, by creating multiple versions of B (and C). Some where you touched 1 fire, some with 0... Each with different costs.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@gilessurname @TylerGlaiel Nope. You can't include the fire in the cost. You can include it in the state. You don't try to reach tiles, you instead reach "tile+count of fire". You need to search through more states (performance--), and more than 1 state is the end so it's harder to stop searching early.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@TylerGlaiel Here's the thing, if you could describe the problem better, then you'd already have the insight that you were hoping to get from GPT to help solve the problem. 😅

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@tfolbrecht @tsoding It needs to pass the final display image to graphics hardware, but the final image is one texture with all the pixels already computed. The work of deciding those pixels could have been in the gpu but it's not. That's the main practical difference today between cpu/gpu rendering.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@jaroslawjarosik @awesomekling They technically let you do it, as long as the files never touch Spotify servers... and they only get copied via LAN. I assume that's how they avoid licensing hell.

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@jaroslawjarosik @awesomekling You can include your own files in spotify, but it's super convoluted. You need to show local files (in settings). Then add those files to a playlist, then make that playlist available offline on a different device while connected to the same wifi as your laptop/desktop.

@FoldableHuman You'd have to cut out the 3rd act of any of them to even get Tarkovsky to see them.

Excited to see how the startup ecosystem is developing in Oradea. Come and join the Startup Weekend here: https://t.co/R1jFQxAr5T I'll be a mentor there

[Cătălin Bălan @laserbeam333]

@AtomicGaryBusey @SteveSyfuhs Yeah... MS just changed the context menu API with win 11 with some extra features. It's not a backwards compatible change and the "more options" is just there for software that hasn't updated yet.
