This competition will be great for us consumers for a while. Until China undercuts everybody else for long enough to essentially monopolize the market. This pattern has repeated itself across many markets already.

And you just know Canonical thinks this is feasible because they can just copyright wash it with an LLM. "Write GNU coreutils in rust" is all you need to say.

Thanks kind stranger, genuinely appreciate the info. I had my suspicions.

How about: forecasting is something you can do by modeling, AI is just modeling with a computer.

Haha, oh the poor mega tech companies?! As if. Google sees a market, it wants to capture it. Same as Apple did.

I run iOS 18 and have no problems with my battery, it is at 73%. iPhone 14 Pro. Don't think I'm going to install 27 either.

$2000 is crazy talk

Yep, I wonder why the ANC socialt is so fragile. Turns me off from buying new ones.

What an absolute AI slop post.

This was very interesting, thank you for the link.

In program code? Unlikely, surely¡

I have noticed this too. I have been playing it quite a bit. There is no reason to have one unique solution per board though.

Some thoughts:

Insane is not harder than Hard. Often times the opposite seems true.

Scratch mode auto-committing on win is a bit too nice.

Dark mode is whack, terrible contrast.

I would like a player profile with stats and so on.

Random Insane seems to play like one of 50 levels. I recognize them often. Seems not so with hard. Now I just enter the puzzle IDs in turn...

Some puzzles seem to have no prior solutions as my time is often exactly the global average.

I would like to know how many solved a puzzle. Also if I did.

Overall great job and I love this. I would like it to be an app or something that can be bookmarked.

> Robot motion planning is basically just elevator scheduling with more degrees of freedom.

Certainly a take, ChatGPT. Not a very good one, but a take nonetheless.

Well it is different, you can have multiple solutions in this variant. Classical minesweeper is not like that. Imagine a grid with just a 1 and the rest is empty. There are then eight different solutions. The same situation can't happen in classical, it is simply going to reveal everything except the predetermined mine.

Because of this ambiguity, the search space is much larger here. Source : I play A LOT of Minesweeper.

... or cargo culted a site that did. I think this is far more common. It's almost like you're not a serious web site if you don't have a cookie popup of some kind.

I'm not sure why, but apparently my experience is unwelcome enough to be downvoted. Drive by changes are really annoying, IMO, and as the GP shows, the formatting tool outcome differs. So there are many "valid" versions of the same program logic. You have therefore not do what these formatters pretend to do, namely take this variable out of the equation. Rather, the wrong auto format can look much worse than the original.

I'm not sure why people felt formatters were necessary. but now they're part of the zeitgeist and there is no going back.

I have never discussed code formatting and drive-by changes more than in projects with auto formatters.

Well, they showed better performance if the AI had full state observation... Not very practical.

I think I would write mirrored. Especially in this day and age, there is no reason to write LTR over RTL by hand. You basically never have to write legibly for official reasons.

My big problem with the fountain pens is that the ink evaporates over a few weeks. Like bone dry, needs a refill.

Hard disagree on both accounts. Mechanical keyboards are obnoxious and tiring to use because of the insane travel. Fountain pens are nice when they work, but the ink evaporates, the nibs clog up, and accidentally bluing yourself is not uncommon among fountaineers.

Soon enough it'll read email [_]

Search for boxing timer.

Off topic but it annoys me so much that Apple decided not to make the hands see-through as they pass the day window on the face. Like even the actual analog clocks do this with a little window on the hand?

I did the very same thing. Interesting phenomenon. I mainly use "analog watches", well, they're facsimiles of analog watches on digital devices.

Opus has been extremely stupid recently, reckon that's because Fable needs to look appealing?

I thought it pretty well established that auto on/off is bad for the engine, as is intermittently turning off some cylinders as some do. Is that wrong?

Well, this is plain old protectionism and typically you down the line realize you're falling behind the rest of the market as your domestic products are not subject to the same competition. This is how China fell behind last time, with its reckoning in the beginning of the 20th century. It's hysterical that they have decided on doing the same thing again. It's hysterical that the US has decided to do so as well.

Nobody gets promoted for building open-source software at corpos. It is allowed, at best, not condoned. So what manager is going to go for this? Let's dedicate our limited resources to gratuitous goodwill work. Carrer suicide, I expect. Unfortunately.

Why should it be? The world is more complex and nuanced than "Nazis bad". Yes, they were horrible and despicable. They still enacted some effective policies, and many of them were socialist in nature.
