I guess that since Epic owns Unreal Engine that bad news for Epic means good news for Godot?

I don't think that Epic is going to want to divest from Unreal considering how much money it makes.

I also don't think that it's a zero-sum game. As a developer I want Unreal (and Unity) to be great so it creates more competition. Unreal has led the way in a lot of cool gaming tech that Godot is picking up.

My main issue with using the general chatbot is that it's an incredibly inefficient way to convey information. For writing tasks I essentially need to type most of the answer first to get reasonable outputs when considering my actual constraints.

More specialized tooling will have these constraints built-in, which will increase productivity.

Even if we have the perfect general chatbot, it's still a lot of work to concisely describe your requirements to it.

It's a computer vulnerability or exploit which has not been discovered before (or at least the software developer wasn't aware of it).

0-day comes from the number of days the software developers have been informed of the vulnerability. Normally security researchers will tell a company about an exploit and give them some time to fix it before telling the public.

I totally agree. I always think it's weird when they have interviews or podcasts about talking to CEOs and they all say something like "you just have to work hard enough". Yeah. Okay.

Where are the podcasts where they ask lottery winners for some vapid aphorism about hard work paying off?

I don't understand. Isn't the way not to be suspected of perjury just not to lie to the court in the first place? It doesn't seem like extortion to me.

I think this was due to the conflict of interest by the old lawyer, who probably told this witness, "Just say you didn't see anything or don't remember and you'll be fine."

It turned out it wasn't fine and the guy found a new lawyer. This new lawyer is being a zealous advocate and trying to keep this guy out of jail.

Things like this always make me wonder if a state could legally turn into a dictatorship.

Could Florida legally change it's constitution to say "All governing power rests entirely in Ron DeSantis" and dissolve it's representative bodies? Obviously it would still be beholden to voters for national elections (representatives and senators), but statewide there could be nothing.

It's a direct competitor to Notion, but also other knowledge management apps (Obsidian, Evernote, etc.)

Thanks for sharing this article. I agree that those points mentioned are not possible for GenAI. It is a pipe dream that GenAI is capable of global governance, because it can't really understand the implications of what it means. It's a Clever Hans and just outputs what it thinks that you want to see.

I think that with GenAI there are some job classes that are in danger (tech support continues to shrink for common cases, etc.), but mostly the entry-level positions. Ultimately, someone who actually knows what's going on would need to intervene.

Similarly for things like writing or programming, GenAI can produce okay work, but it needs to be prompted by someone who can understand the bigger picture and check it's work. Writing becomes more editing in this case, and programming becomes more code review.

Pretty strong speech. I can see why he's getting called up for the Senate.

I've been waiting on Satisfactory until it's out of early access. Should I continue to wait or is it good now?

There's a LegalEagle video which sums it up: Trump's Bombshell Federal Document Indictment

Essentially,

  • Trump took classified information during his time as president and failed to return them
  • When asked to return them he failed to comply until forced
  • When forced to comply, he still kept many documents the government knew were missing and lied to the government and his lawyers indicating that they were returned
  • Was caught on tape admitting that he knew they were classified and that it was wrong for him to have them

The first bullet point apparently happens often (Biden, Pence, Hillary have all done similarly in the past). Trump is singular in that he didn't readily comply with the request for the return of documents and the consequent lies to the government (also illegal).

I've been playing Shapez that I picked up for $3 the other week. It's like a chill factorio, so it scratches that itch for me. Apparently they're working on a sequel, so maybe I'll play that next decade when it's on sale.
