This is what the internet is for! (it's for all the other useful, valuable, life-saving stuff too)

Probably Nintendo is suing on the catching mechanic which is pretty much the same in both games. In Palworld, the player has a team of Pals and, in order to catch a new Pal, they must fight and after some damage throw a catching ball at the right moment. Could someone patent a monster catching mechanic, anyway?

>The reply was it didn't break any policy.

What is the policy, as long as you pay and don't do anything outright offensive, it's all fair game?

While this must be an incredible technical achievement for the team, as a simple user I will only see value when Google ships a product that's better than OpenAI's, and that's yet to be seen.

It's not like that's something new or exclusive to tech, right? Coke had cocaine and cigarettes were physician tested and approved. We should have learned from those things but we didn't, and so history will rhyme.

I can't speak about Google at all, but this line: if you’re not in the room when decisions are made you don’t know how the company works

Is great and true, thank you.

this changes everything (if it's true)

Beazley is one of the masters and his other books are great. My nitpick here is that, as in any other language, the basics are there forever and the advanced features/techniques get old and replaced every now and then.

Creating a problem and selling the solution, a classical politician's move.

I used to really like Gandi. I still have a t-shirt with their #no_bullshit slogan that's from 2015-16. It's been a couple of years since I stopped having any need for their services, and its sad to see them dropping the ball like this.

People don't see it being this revolutionary because they don't know how to use it. My wife (literary translator) my close friends (2 doctors and one business executive) and myself are seeing massive gains in productivity by using simple prompt techniques such as chain-of-thought. Heck, my cardiologist friend from one of the country's top hospitals is writing a book with chatgpt. It's there and it's great, and will only get easier to use, smarter, faster etc.

+1 for Pix. It's great, amazing that the Brazil Central Bank pulled that off, it's better than what people have in most developed countries.

As a customer, I want the best product, not the best LLM. The race is far from over and it's not just about having the biggest model in the room.
