With Cerebras starting in May, it looks like we will be seeing a very active year in (AI) IPOs.

I absolutely loved JC2 and JC3 with more than 500 hours in each! Despite the author's thoughts that the games were a buggy mess, I feel like I never noticed the bugs in JC2 and the very literal road bumps in JC3 were only problem when I was doing laps around the first island out of boredom.

I could never quite put my finger on why the large island felt so... empty? in the north, but it being canceled for most of the development cycle is an insight I never thought I'd have, so thank you very much for the insight.

The volumetric terrain of JC3 was an awesome improvement on JC2, with the second island being very for the terrain and vertical bases.

I tried JC4 and it was disappointing... It never clicked with me and (just like the author) I felt it was worse than JC3 in almost every way.

Major thanks to the author for the blog post, growing up and working in software I really appreciate the perspective and both Avalanche studio and the author for their work on these two awesome and timeless games. Despite the apparent hell of development, playing it always felt magical to me (maybe not the car handling in JC2 but I digress) <3

Why change the title from Sony camera to Sony DSLR when the repository is specifically targeting Sony mirrorless cameras, not DSLRs...

The first thought that came to mind was Google's "I'm feeling lucky!" button. I'm glad you mentioned it and even used it in the project!

I expect fertility would drop, but frequency of sex would rise.

Knowing about your body and having access to contraceptives should in my opinion promote the frequency of sex.

This is just plain wrong or a terrible misinterpretation...

> central banks

What are you trying to say here? Each member state has a central bank. They are independent from, coordinated by, the ECB. Each central bank assumes the responsibility of regulating the member state's banks, with the ECB paying close attention to system-critical banks.

The US also has a central bank, singular, the Fed. What's your point?

> no local culture, blur national and ethnic identities

Have you been to Europe? Each country has it's own, completely distinct culture based on the nation's historic identity. Hint: you know when you're crossing borders (the language usually changes).

Crazy to see STH get the HN hug of death!

One would think they get sizeable traffic as-is.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

Technology should not be fixing such a societal or legislative issue. In the example you're providing, why should the user trust the LLM, but not the credit agreement? Why shouldn't the LLM point the user to a different credit agreement, just as exploitative? The company operating the LLM may have such an incentive, and it could be very lucrative.

Illiteracy in the case you are proposing can only increase, for the benefit of some.

(The argument that people can use open source models can't possibly be applied, considering you're speaking about, as you called them, the other 90%, or even the functionally illiterate.)

The last paragraph is concerning to say the least.

As far as I understand, Grove was at the helm when Intel started the Itanium project. Granted, he didn't see it to "completion", but poor choices were made even in his time.

He even stated the following in "Only the Paranoid Survive": One, don’t differentiate without a difference. Don’t introduce improvements whose only purpose is to give you an advantage over your competitor without giving your customer a substantial advantage. The personal computer industry is characterized by well-chronicled failures when manufacturers, ostensibly motivated by a desire to make “a better PC,” departed from the mainstream standard. But goodness in a PC was inseparable from compatibility, so “a better PC” that was different turned out to be a technological oxymoron.

One might think Itanium goes against that.
