FYI greek has a good introductory course by Language Transfer, from which you can graduate to textbooks (available from rutracker) and ChatGPT for practice and OCR. I also maintained decent retention by converting everything I learned into Anki cards. Living in a greek-speaking country helps, but only when you are forced to communicate in EL or when you explicitly ingest new words/phrases from what you read around. Before that, I used Duolingo for the same purpose, had issues keeping the streak up and understanding the material (this was early ChatGPT era, though).
Tried the game and it was pretty good! The polygonal look fits really well, reminds me of games by Introversion.
A couple of suggestions:
* Add gamepad support, there's a browser API for that.
* Things are way too tiny compared to VS running on same screen. It was often hard to precisely maneuver and distinguish between entities.
On a side note, I'd definitely play a mix of fl0w/Spore with VS.
Not if your manager doesn't know what you are really capable of and your coworkers keep at about the same pace as you. Manager may get some portion of that productivity, but who says it has to be everything?
This is a big issue that I also thought about. Current crop of AI tools increases capital leverage, but workers are still left with existing tools. Without push-back, employees will get an even a shorter end of the stick than before. That ain't good for society.
Morrowind was my first TES too and I recently tried Daggerfall Unity. In 20 hours, I learned that I don't like shallow vast sea games at all. I don't want to "reolplay" and grind computer generated quests. Even Starfield was better as it at least had modern quest lines, although with awful writing.
Taskbar icons looking off was one of things that I immediately noticed after updating from 7 to 10 and then to 11. However, after I installed StartAllBack and enabled "large icons" setting, the issue went away and I forgot about it for years. Nowadays, when I look at older screenshots of my 10 or 7, I barely notice the difference.
Different people have different levels of what matters. If I didn't read the news, I wouldn't know that my country would search my phone at airport and prosecute for acts it didn't like. Or which countries are safe for get together with family. Or that I may lose the chance to renew my passport in third country and have to urgently renew it, otherwise risking a trip to hostile homeland and potential residency permit issues.
That sounds true when you have already internalized the idea. But my environment never even suggested in can be approached this way. My school didn't teach me how to write, we just had to. Uni didn't explain this either and that was part of the reason why I dropped out. You can't make progress when you don't know what questions to ask and nobody sees your struggles and provides guidance.
One of the approaches to this that I haven't seen being talked about on HN at all is LLM as public infrastructure by the government. I think EU can pull this off. This also addresses overall alignment and compute-poverty issue. I wouldn't mind if my taxes paid for that instead of a ChatGPT subscription.
This article matches my experience as well. Chatting with LLM has helped me to crystalize ideas I had before and explore relevant topics to widen the understanding. Previously, I wouldn't even know where to begin with when getting curious about something, but ChatGPT can tell you if your ideas have names, if they were explored previously, what primary sources there are. It's like a rabbit hole of exploring the world, a more interconnected one where barriers of entry to knowledge are much lower. It even made me view things I previously thought of as ultra boring in different, more approachable manner - for example, I never liked writing, school essays were a torture, and now I may even consider doing that out of my own will.
Glad to finally see 28th getting more traction, I was thinking about it just the other day. Personally, I'd love for EU to introduce more institutions that cut at member state sovereignty in favor of tighter integration. What comes to mind immediately is a 28th regime for employment and personal taxes, so companies don't have to resort to workarounds like employee of record or fake "contractors". It seems that EU late binds making big decisions until all options collapse, current events will probably result in more push for federalization overall.
Maybe AI should be a public service provided by the state, like education is? This will at least partially solve the issue of AI-access inequality. Personally, I wouldn't mind if EU provided such a service for its residents and citizens. It can also be more aligned with core EU values than offerings from grifter megacorps. Of course this would also require the usual checks and balances, as any concentrated power does.
Very true. I guess that depends on what websites you find issues with? I just checked mine and all of those are quality of life improvements for fully server rendered sites like HN or phpBB forums.
I used this approach before and it indeed works better than the 2010-style jQuery mess. A good fit for userscripts too, where the problem you attempt to solve is fairly limited and having dependencies, especially with a build steps, is a pain. Note that you don't need jQuery for this at all, unless you are somehow stuck with ancient browser support as a requirement - querySelector, addEventListener, innerHtml - the basic building blocks of the approach - have been available and stable for a long time.
What do you do when managing context takes longer than doing everything by hand? For example, for an existing project where reading a Jira ticket may not suffice and you need to examine unbounded amount of something else, which is usually kept in developer head? Do you begin to treat that as new kind of code/documentation debt that only matters with these new tools who are always amnesiac? How much do MDs really scale?
I think the core issue here is that consistency bounds are arbitrary and some people tend to push to much on these. Finding the middle is hard and is political. Arguing with UX or QA whether previously unrelated features on different screens should behave the same is exhausting. That's why I prefer small projects where I am the only customer or all users are extremely aligned (internal developer tooling).
