Interesting. To me that game was just the worst:

Unskippable, long, very very very long, boring dialogues.

Shitty weapons, but fantasy. E.g. no oomph feeling when you hit the enemy with a large ice explosions. It just scraps a little of their health.

Boring, unchallenging fights.

Does not have widgets/has some limited plugins. Can’t have apps pinned on screen. Looks nifty but it’s unusable for me :(

no less unhealthy

Yeah, given the history of capitalism, that will not happen. Look, they even made real meat unhealthy just to increase the profit (meat “yield” from animal), with lab-grown meat they would cut corners even further.

Chickens we are given today weight at least 5 times more than chicken 50 years ago (or “heritage breed”) and reach that weight in 6 weeks vs a year. To even buy a heritage breed chicken you need to have time, money and know-how, and you’re still likely to get just a 100 days old chicken.

I can’t even predict how they will enshittify lab-grown meat if it’s ever perfected.

I don’t like fast food, beyond/impossible meat is factory produced slop. They even made a South Park episode about it.

Also, with imitation and lab-grown options, I’d no longer have to deal with the disgust factor of handling raw meat (esp. the juices)

Could it be you were never taught to respect the animals we eat? I find that common in people who grew up in big cities / never spent time in the countryside / are young enough to have never seen a pig being dismantled / never fished.

My another point against lab grown meat is that so far any time we tried to manufacture food, within 30 years it turned out to be very bad for us (e.g. obesity epidemic is mainly caused by UPF).

Cool cool cool.

My go to test is to search for water shoes / swimming shoes that are either size EU 48 or extra wide.

This shiet can’t even find only “water shoes”, instead recommending shoes to me.

Seems to be useless trash-proxy to Bing and Google?

The very first internet connection occurred on 30 October 1969

No. Earliest cross node connection was early 1969: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPL_network

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237130669_How_the_Internet_came_to_be

This is the book be Vincent Cerf where he explains that ARPANET isn’t the Internet. Good to know that the people who created the Internet are wrong.

I get it. You were taught in school that US government created the internet. It’s a good explanation to the 4th grader. It’s also simplistic and incorrect, but that’s how elementary schools teach. It’s like that with a lot of knowledge, it becomes more nuanced the more you know about it.

That is an interesting point of view. Very USA exceptional. It’s also dumbed down a lot. ARPANET is a computer network, but it’s not internet, nor it was the first. It kickstarted popularity of computer networks in the USA and provided first FTP and (I think) first remote login.

Popularity of computer networks in USA definitely was a formative quality over the 20 years of international development of the Internet.

But saying ARPANET was the internet is like saying gramophone is Netflix.

First computer network to send packets to another computer was British NPL network. Then US government founded ARPANET, built upon that. Except that DARPA besides having own researchers outsourced to Stanford, BBN and University College of London (“How the Internet Came to Be”, quoting I forgot whom from DARPA).

Then French Cyclades computer network built upon ARPANET and proposed that multiple networks should be able to communicate with each other.

Then USA non-profit IEEE looked at all that proposed TCP/IP for cross-network communication, and that is the thing that (after many iterations over a decade) led to the Internet not being separate networks like AOL or Computerverse or whatever.

Now we’re getting closer to the internet and it’s time for https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_data_network

First was Spain with RETD , then France, then USA with Telenet. Then Canada. Then in 1978 we started connecting those separate networks. I think the first properly working project was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Packet_Switched_Service between British post office and USA post office.

On those public data networks the Internet’s physical layer was built.

In USA U.S. National Science Foundation was founding more and more computer networks, including CSNET. That’s still not internet. It’s 1980 and it will take a decade of new inventions (Ethernet, LAN, DNS) and improvements & implementations (like to TCP/IP) before we will get the internet.

Here’s a nifty source for that decade, because I spent 50 minutes writing this post before I noticed I’m arguing with a guy over the internet about the internet.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet (there is a nice timeline list there).

It is so complicated that you’re both correct and incorrect. US government added to it, yes. I’d argue the fundamental work was independent researchers from multiple countries (UK, USA, France). I’d argue the critical infrastructure was multiple non-profits.

Also the question is “what exactly is the beginning of the internet”. Is it usenet? Telnet? Arpanet?

Same document, section about Shareholders.

There’s no such thing. There COULD be something like shareholders voting on smthing and those votes are binding, but the agenda is declared by the company and can be only shiet like dividends rate, certain acquisitions, etc. Not the company strategy itself.

Technically they don’t - it’s a lie told often by CEO. But its a lie. https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Fiduciary-Duties-of-the-Board-of-Directors.pdf

OpenAi May 2025: in their internal tests the newer model the higher hallucination rate.

What is wrong with you?

þink ðat’s

The fuck is that.

Well, semantically yes, not all telemetry is spyware. However regarding Windows telemetry it’s indistinguishable from spyware - you have no idea nor control over the data gathered, measured and processed.

The crux is that Windows telemetry is opt out, opting out can’t be done during installation, and historically opting out wasn’t sticky. Additionally some Windows telemetry is still being sent despite opting out.

That makes Windows telemetry fulfill all spyware criteria.

Please don’t upvote this person, I think they’re a bot. The libs use AWS SDK internally and claim 90% performance boost over AWS SDK, and the person explains it as “you can write less verbose code so development time is shorter”

The point is not a few less milliseconds, it’s many hours of reduced development for people implementing DynamoDB

So you’re comparing claimed performance (execution) gains to development time? Yeah, that makes sense.

I think you’re a bot.

Cutlet is the best bad name for a cat. The cat will know it’s both your friend and a survival ration.

Thank you.

How did you check the performance though for the ORM? You claim it’s faster that AWS SDK, which literally impossible, as you are using AWS SDK to power it.

Out of curiosity, what do they do and did you use agentic approach or prompt and then copy?

Agreed but you can play only offline without missing on much

That’s such a bad take. Game companies are not allowed to have multiplayer that bypasses psn network.

The Sony and Nintendo have dominant positions in the game market for their consoles. The wallet garden must be breached for the consumer - why do you cate about company profits🙃
