I feel like “it’s more than just 500 hours of sokoban” (if true) would be a valid, satisfying and non-spoily answer

Pour one out for FrontPage

I felt the same. In a way the 'baby' language in the first 10 chapters (e.g. "straight" instead of "linear") left me unprepared for the later chapters.

That is crazy. What is the actual motivation of that contributor?

> To fix this, AI companies should refocus their goals to account for the displacement of human roles as they continue to improve AIs. They should start doing that sooner rather than later.

It's a good thing then, that corporations have such a good reputation for never externalizing the costs their products inflict on society & the planet.

I wonder if you are German?

Spending some time in Germany from Holland I notice there is a significant difference in cycling etiquette :)

Especially regarding “passing a cyclist” which also touches on the essential difficulty with having only one “ring” sound.

Always when Germans pass me on the bike and they ring I get slightly annoyed because I interpret it as a “get out of the way” ring, and I feel like there is enough space. But perhaps it’s just the cautious “don’t do anything unexpected” ring.

A Dutch person would rarely ring at another cyclist in the former way. But they also might be less safety focused while cycling (see also: helmet usage). Or we have safer infrastructure already.

On a road bike, however, I too ring at pedestrians “preemptively”. For sure GPs remark of “if you need to ring you’re going too fast” applies here but that’s the essence of road cycling.

Ironically I’m also annoyed when road cyclists ring at me for the same reason.

Just shows the case for having 2 clearly different types of rings.

(Also for cars to have a “thank you” horn, haha)

I might have to reexamine my attitudes: the entire article felt AI-written to me, which instantly reduced my appetite for reading it.

Which is unfair of course. A) I don’t even know whether it was actually was written by AI and B) even if it was, it still encapsulates a human’s potentially worthwhile thoughts and experiences.

But.. undeniably genAI will lead to a much greater volume of text being written so we’ll all have to be even more selective in what we read and what not?

As an indie developer, I take much more issue with E33 falling under the “Indie” category than them using AI.

Hah, this is super interesting actually.

Is this comment ridiculing critique of AI by comparing it to critique of writing?

Or.. is it invoking Socrates as an eloquent description of a "brain on ChatGPT".

I guess the former? But I can easily read it as the latter, too.

> thinking, contemplating and deadlock

This is what I’d call ‘programming’. Which you’ll still be doing even if the AI is writing the code.

The question is whether you can become good/better at programming without writing code?

My “For You” used to show me cool gamedev stuff from people I didn’t know.

There was a part of the suggestions that I liked! The algorithm was working for me!

Now it’s 100% pure toxic outrage bait.

I’m thinking “tables” are part of some kind of “extend, extinguish” strategy?

I.e. reducing compatibility with Excel to make it harder to just leave with your data.

I could be wrong.

For sure not true. I get PDF invoices, from one of my contractors, that my bookkeeping software chokes on.

I use print to PDF to generate a version that it can handle.

(That does not say anything about whether it removes metadata though, just that it’s not the same file)
