Maybe investigate the background apps that are running on your laptop?

By the way, I just opened a directory that I hadn't accessed in months. It contains 10945 log files, and Windows Explorer displayed them instantly.

The analogy with Chess does not work: I can go on YouTube to watch how a pro player beats a specific boss, then use that to massively shorten how long I need to beat that boss.

Watching a lot of grandmasters play Chess will minimally help me beat a Chess AI that was better than me (excluding the beginner level).

I think that someone could have fun playing a Diablo-like RPG because they enjoy feeling powerful while they mow down a lot of enemies. And someone someone could enjoy a Soulslike game for the precision they need to apply to beat a boss.

Maybe it is somewhat similar to the difference between an arcade/fun racing game and a professional track racing game.

I wouldn't consider one to be "better" than the other. They simply have different objectives.

I just tried with Bing AI (in "precise" mode), it ran a search, then answered:

> There are many soccer players whose names contain a Z. Some of them include Zlatan Ibrahimović, Zinedine Zidane, Zico, Zvonimir Boban, and Zé Roberto ¹. Would you like to know more about any specific player?

Source: Conversation with Bing, 3/31/2023 ...

I also tried: "Can you name 14 soccer players whose names contain a Z?" (At 15+, it answers "I’m sorry, but I don’t have 15 names of soccer players whose names contain a Z. However, I can provide you with a few more names")

> Sure! Here are 14 soccer players whose names contain a Z: Zlatan Ibrahimović, Zinedine Zidane, Zico, Zvonimir Boban, Zé Roberto, Zbigniew Boniek, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Zlatko Zahovič, Zubayr Amiri, Zico, Zé Luís, Zećira Mušović, Zsolt Lőw and Zah Rahan Krangar. Is there anything else you would like to know?

I would think that "lossless" implicit conversion are ok. Right?

For example, implicit conversion from a 32bit signed integer into a 64bit signed integer.

I expect this deal to be a must for Microsoft. OpenAI is probably very happy to raise the stakes as much as possible. So we will see how many billions Microsoft ends up paying for this.

Still, is there a world in which we look back 10 years from now and think that we were overvaluing the impact of AI?

(For example, this did happen with tablets, when people thought that the iPad would replace "computers"...)

In C#, you can write (pseudo-code): if (AVX2) { ... } else if (SSE) { ... } else ...

Then, when you run the program, the JIT will pick the first supported option and eliminate the other ones.

The most important "goalpost" is: Every major cross-platform AAA game gets released simultaneously on Windows, Xbox and PlayStation. When macOS gets added to the list in a consistant manner, people will consider it a "major" gaming platform.

Having access to a lot of mobile games doesn't matter for hardcore gamers.

Yes.

And I see that its id is just before this one. So that's a solution to find its parent.
