How is this stupid? Call it greedy or anti-consumer, but in the end it will increase Nintendo’s profits so it’s far from stupid from the company’s perspective. People buy consoles no matter how bad they are treated. Maybe you should call consumers stupid instead?

He was not believing Trump’s words, you’re misinterpreting his post

I do, too, and I hope they increase their own search index to reduce the dependency on Google/Microsoft. I love the great search experience but I hate that I’m (indirectly) giving those companies my money.

You keep ignoring everyone who says that but I will still repeat it: it’s not Google that installs third-party (!) apps on your phone.

It is really common in the other hand for OEMs (Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi, …) to install additional apps to earn money through “partnerships”.

Really enjoyed that (audio) book recently. Nothing really new but well told and an easy listen

Minds are blown, thanks for the correction!

Yeah, an AI would have drawn it better (apart from the text, they suck at that).

Also not a fan of comics that just state an opinion without any punch line or twist.

I think the benefit of third party AI services is exactly a way around that limited context window. The service can summarize the previous conversations and key facts about the user, store it and feed that back into the AI prompt.

Instead of wasting most of the context window for pages and pages of conversation, it can just prompt the AI with something like “the user is called Timmy, he works as an accountant, he has a girlfriend called Tammy, yesterday he told you that he thinks about proposing.”.

I think even ChatGPT does something like that, but as it’s a very general tool it might not be the best in filtering out information that is relevant for a “personal” conversation.

Yeah this thread is full of people not getting a simple joke…

Thanks! No idea why we’d have to fake the photo if the original is pretty meme-y already

And yet this thread is full of comments both confidently and cynically proclaiming that it’s totally useless and only there for the lawyers yada yada

I think OP made it pretty clear it’s a hypothetical question

That means the answer to the question would be 2? After two plays you have about 6 minutes of entertainment which are worth $1.

Btw I do the same entertainment budget calculations (as well as “what is my free time worth”)

Sadly this comes as no (big) surprise. Sharing the fate with many great projects from small dev teams, Nova was dead the moment it was bought up.

If done right, the “what it does” is in the method name. If your method is too complicated to summarize in its name, chances are good you should split it up or extract parts of it.

That’s not really how he himself describes it. His wife became a Christian and after going to church with her he wanted to investigate the backgrounds - he didn’t want to disprove Christianity and was quite open-minded instead:

She invited me to a church, where I heard the Gospel explained in a way I could understand it. While I didn’t believe it, I realized that if it were true, it would have big implications for my life. So I decided to use my journalism experience and legal expertise (at the time, I was legal editor of The Chicago Tribune) to investigate whether there was any credibility to Christianity or any other faith system.
