I wouldn’t say worst, but maybe greatest difference in expectation vs reality - “My Time at Portia”.

Cutscenes and voice acting were janky. The UI felt like it was originally an MMO and feels odd for a single player game. The gameplay loop felt tedious and seemed to disrespect the player’s time.

Maybe I needed to give it more time, but for a game that I thought had generally good/great reviews, it wasn’t clicking for me.

With things like wsl, conda has also become less useful. Anaconda is terrible software and the need for conda managed packages is mostly lost outside of the windows OS in my opinion.

Yeah they took that prediction an odd step too far.

Maybe not the same thing as FPS chess, but a great chess rougelike with guns is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1972440/Shotgun_King_The_Final_Checkmate/

He did do a great job with what they gave him. He’s the only reason the film is bearable, and would have loved to see a more serious and earnest take on that movie.

I think the worst thing about it is batman doesn’t actually solve/do much. I like that him being new/young means he isn’t infallible, but I would have liked him to have a win or two.

Still love the movie though.

I absolutely agree, felt like they didn’t know what kind of movie they wanted to make and just kinda threw whatever they could think of into it.

I don’t know why this was down voted, but you’re right. It’s not sold as an accompaniment to the books, so should stand on its own.

Having read the books though, I really enjoyed the movies. I do understand though that a lot of that enjoyment came from the background knowledge I got from the books.

Yeah, I’ve definitely seen it most used to describe people acting ridiculous.

I bought a cheap pair on Amazon for around $30 just to try the concept out. I actually use them primarily for gaming cause I play a lot of split screen/in the same room with people, so it let’s us talk while I can still hear.

Couple of notes:

• Don’t put the volume too high, as they can damage your ears just like regular headphones
• They are definitely quieter than regular headphones as nothing is blocking your ears.

Not OP, but to me it’s one where getting to the ending gives you the context/lense to reinterpret the earlier portions. Sorta like memento or fight club, where the ending recontextualizes the earlier scenes.

App stores and game engines are examples where you are paying a percentage of revenue. Not that it makes this scenario make any more sense, but there are models out there that operate this way. However, in both you are working in pretty locked down environments.

Has Been Heroes. It’s a rougelite where you have to control three heroes across three lanes of action. You have to juggle skills and lanes by rotating the heroes to time attacks and perks. It may be more that it went notices than reviewed poorly.

One that definitely was reviewed poorly that I loved though was Advent Rising. It’s a scifi 3rd person shooter with the story by Orson Scott Card. It ended up in legal trouble due to a botched prize they did on release. Worst part is it ends on a cliff hanger and they never made the sequel or released the comics that were supposed to add to the story.

Sync thing is a great resource if you want your files to be replicated across systems. I use it for files that I might work on while in different locations and devices.

Its basically a personal onedrive or Dropbox.

I’ve used Ubooquity on and off for this. It has some nice features, but isn’t open source.

Yes, and most likely more of a paradigm shift. The way deep learning models work is largely around static statistical models. The main issue here isn’t the statistical side, but the static nature. For AGI this is a significant hurdle because as the world evolves, or simply these models run into new circumstances, the models will fail.

Its largely the reason why autonomous vehicles have sorta hit a standstill. It’s the last 1% (what if an intersection is out, what if the road is poorly maintained, etc.) that are so hard for these models as they require “thought” and not just input/output.

LLMs have shown that large quantities of data seem to approach some sort of generalized knowledge, but researchers don’t necessarily agree on that https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.07682. So if we can’t get to more emergent abilities, it’s unlikely AGI is on the way. But as you said, combining and interweaving these systems may get something close.

It’s not that machine learning isn’t making progress, it’s just many people speculate that AGI will require a different way of looking at AI. Deep Learning, while powerful, doesn’t seem like it can be adapted to something that would resemble AGI.

Do you work in a technical role? I’ve dabbled in using AI to help out when working on projects, but I would say it’s hit or miss on actually helping, as in sometimes it helps me move a bit faster and sometimes it slows me down.

However, that’s just for the raw “let’s write some code part of the work”. Anything beyond that in my roles and responsibilities doesn’t really intersect with what AI can currently do, so I’m not sure where I would get a 5-10x speed-up from.

Honestly I’m not sure if I’m taking a wrong approach or if everyone else is blowing things out of proportion.

Oddly enough I think that actually adds to the problem. Because there are so many Unix-like OSs and each is slightly to significantly different, the solution to a problem on one may or may not work on another.

I liken it to SQL, having worked with many different sql dialects, I can never recall what functions are supported by one versus another. However, I don’t run into that problem with Mongo, cause it’s so different.

There are sites like this (https://www.whatismyip.net/tools/torrent-ip-checker/index.php?hash=1b0ed881214381f342f844fd640a3f495c6be898) that let you download a torrent. When you run the torrent in the client the site tells you the IP of your torrent client. Based on that info you can tell if it’s running through the VPN or not.
