I'm pretty sure there was a weird bug in the original C&C generals where the game engine 'tick rate' was somehow tied to CPU cycles and assumed single-threading or something.

I remember going back and trying to play it many years after it came out, and it was basically broken because the entire game moved at like... 2-3x the maximum speed it was ever meant to run at

Sure there were some buzz words in there... But the actual core of the post wasn't patronising at all. Might need to take a step back and ask why your response to that was so strong.

My experience observing commercial LLM's since the release of GPT-4 is actually the opposite of this.

Sure, they've gotten much cheaper on a per-token basis, but that cost reduction has come with a non-trivial accuracy/reliability cost.

The problem is, tokens that are 10x cheaper are still useless if what they say is straight up wrong.

Actually I disagree, see previous comment re: the Fridman/zuch interview.

The genuinely cool thing about that though... They aren't sending the video.

Instead, they convert both people's faces into skeletal meshes and only send the transform data over the wire, recreating the other person at the other end as a 3D model that is being animated using the transmitted animation data.

The bandwidth requirements are reduced by like... 100x

You can turn off self-view by default.

The day I realised this, was the day 75% of my zoom fatigue disappeared.

Oh well that settles it then, because TWO medical professionals could never get something wrong, could they?

Thank you! This is EXACTLY the issue I've been failing to articulate.

Both examples were killed by the state... That's my point, the safeguards failed and the people were euthanized...

These are all excellent examples of how MAID should be used, I think the concerning thing is the widening of the eligibility criteria - especially when things like mental illness start to make you eligible.

Like... If your illness makes you suicidal... Is offering assisted suicide REALLY the best we can do? That starts to feel a lot like "eghh you're too hard for society to care about... We'll just let you die".

As horrible as this might sound, often it's failed suicide attempts that actually are the catalysts for people being able to get their lives back on track... What happens in a society where the government helps facilitate suicide and there's never any "attempts" anymore... Just successes...

IMO this relates heavily to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and ND people's propensity to maximise negative self-perception and minimise positive.

Unrelated, but "spot the Australian"

Maybe it's just me, but I've never been able to get a complex type schema to work properly with JSON schema.

The moment you have types referencing other types in a way that can become recursive in ANY way, the whole thing seems to explode.

Hate Jira all you want... but this is actually funny.
