Bloody hell, I was expecting something interesting, but that level of control from a single propeller is a lot more than I had imagined.

Too many different things I want to play with and insufficient time in the day -.-

As someone who has worked in the games industry and is getting closer to releasing his own game... I'm concerned the already difficult to enter market is going to become near on impossible to get noticed now.

I thought I had enough on my plate but now I'm going to have to figure out advertising a lot better than I currently know :s

Wrong firmware is being worked on, you would need a version of the firmware that GTA6 is being targeted towards to have a vuln found.

As someone who has been riding trains to YOK every day for the last 5 years. I don't agree, unless you mean by partially late 1 minute.

I'll admit I rarely take trains that are not on the JR line - so perhaps you're referencing them? Either way I can generally time leaving home and returning home to within 3-4 minutes every day.

Not the biggest issue (and perhaps the smallest) it's not Sakura tree season here in Tokyo ;)

I set it up and saw the token notifier down the bottom slowly ticking up. I'll try again and report back, perhaps I misread something? I was surprised something like thst (which I assumed was an API call) was trickling token usage.

Indeed! We purchased that after we finished the first two, and they have been having a ball of a time.

I recently setup an emulator, passed it through the TV and had blue tooth controllers hooked up, so I could show my son Donkey Kong Country - we ended up finishing 1 and 2 (with my wife joining in), he loved the older game. Trying to get him into older PC games now. So yeah, it is possible to get them into it (just dragging him away from minecraft is hard haha).

I have Aphantasia, as well as excellent map reading skills and spatial awareness. BUT I'm pretty sure that spatial awareness is something I developed when cheffing (needing to know where things were rapidly) and map reading I attribute to video games (specifically doom originally haha).

A) Oh nice! that's cool

B) Warning everyone, it slowly eats tokens - If you're like me and on the pro plan, perhaps not a good idea to have its (albeit slow) drain on the tokens.

(former chef here) - I've been writing my personal recipes like this for 20+ years. Mostly because I can grok the steps from memory so I can skip that part (other times I just write the spec step between the curly bracers).

Not the neatest, but my 'Dad's cookbook' isn't really read by anyone except myself when asking the family what they want me to prep on the weekend for the week.

I would argue the reason is so people can make arguments like yours.

Step 1: get easily passed, simple looking laws passed to 'protect the children' Step 2: 'oh look at all these people bypassing the law. It's so simple for a child to watch porn with this.' Step 3: increase the requirements bit by bit on the verification

By letting something simple pass, they can claim it's not thst bad, and anyone who argues against it is being hyperbolic.

Tinfoil hat, are they and anthropic doing this deliberately to increase the chance of the US govt licking down foreign models(well attempting, we all know how badly that will work).

Or they just are truly that incompetent.

I was doing something similar where I saved user input/model output in a multi-depth node style storage system (each depth having more precise details) with the focus on the model having accurate user fed information. I was mostly focused on retrieval of accurate / useful information based on user query (injecting the database node as additional, high confidence information)

Once this(Zero-mem) passes it's peer review, I may have to see if my system can handle something similar instead/in addition.

I'm quite excited to see growth in these different ways of eliminating token's.

Long winded aside, @langs, have you published your work on this?
