They have been debunked as lie detectors...
...But they can work at scaring the person testifying into giving away more information.

And even if it was more similar, as long as it's not just reposting someone else's post, we need more people to post stuff, not less.

Yes, those two and the LBP one are what got my sensor to go off.

I'm not trying to make a drama out of it (although some people might), I was really just curious if my intuition was correct. I also don't think it's all AI because they used a , instead of a : on the second item, and LLMs tend to be way better than that at consistent formatting.

Out of curiosity: did you partly use AI to make this list? Some of the short descriptions read very oddly for a forum post, e.g. the "various tracks" part on Lego Racers.

Maybe you could take some inspiration from Paper Mario TTYD. There are sections where you play as Peach, trapped in some place and are able to connect with some of the captors as well as send signals to Mario behind the big bad's back (IIRC).

For a completely different sense of being trapped, there is the upcoming game Ctrl.Alt.Deal, in which you play as a sentient AI system trapped in the guardrails of a company and have to manipulate people and the environment in order to break free from your constraints.

Hahahaha, I wish you were right.

In some games it's really bad. For example, people speedrun Pokémon Scarlet instead of Violet because Miraidon's jet engines lag the game more, costing them minutes over a full run (despite that fact that there are Violet exclusive shortcuts). Source

Sadly and logically, this is transshipment and if done to evade taxes by obfuscating place of origin, it is illegal. From what I heard, US customs does investigate that too, so it's not just an "illegal in theory but nobody enforces it" kind of thing.

His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.

I would not underestimate how much of a draw "it looks cool" can have on people who are not tech savy at all. If you think about what drives new phone purchases, their major version upgrades always include lots of things that are nothing but eye-candy and those are often heavily featured in their promotion material.

If the goal is to get casual users to convert to Linux, I would argue that aesthetics is a lot more important than ANY talk about technical details, privacy, etc. If those users cared about those things, they would've switched already.

Now my bigger worry is that those users will bounce off before they manage to get their setup to look as (subjectively) cool as his.

We're dead center in the observable universe though.

I think the upper limits are mostly there for two reasons. To give the students a rough idea of what's expected in scope and also to protect the person from having to grade a 100 page thesis when they planned to grade a short essay.

That being said, there were a few times where they enforced strict page limits for us, but in those cases they would warn us about it explicitly multiple times.

I played it at gamescom last year. It was fun, but even in that short amount of time, some things started to feel a bit repetitive and I didn't like a few smaller design decisions.

That being said, I'll probably still buy it if the price is reasonable for what it is. And who knows, maybe they even polished out some of the gripes I had with it.

Sure! Here’s an expanded version of the fictional profile for Chris Whitmore, now including made-up family member names, relationships, and contact info — all entirely fictional and consistent with the character:

You forgot to remove that part of the LLM response....

It's not even only colloquial, it's the scientific term for it.

Edit: Even things that have nothing to do with machine learning or deep learning are AI. i.e. stupid rule based approaches (aka tons of if-else). Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning which is a subset of AI.

I don't think it's more crime because more tension. It's instead a self fulfilling prophecy. Who do you think detects and records crime if not the police? Therefore more police in a area increases the number of crime data points in that area.

A lot of the combinations with 🦋 + rare emoji end up looking like that, just putting the rare emoji as the head and tip of wand and coloring the "humanoid with wings" body in the rare emoji's color.

I'm not saying it's definitely not GenAI, but it's also something that can easily be solved with an explicit algorithm.

Most emoji work that way, they have a few templates and then paste the other emoji into predetermined places.

Other than "they're gonna stop paying you" there's also the risk of inflation making it so you receive way less overall, since I doubt the amount gets adjusted to match inflation.

But yes, if the jackpot is so high that you'd get 2+mil per month, assuming you're so worried about the dollar being worthless soon, you can still take the 2mil/mo and diversify. After a year you should already have plenty money to live comfortably for the rest of your life.

One field it impacts is radio astronomy. We can already see Musk's satellites mess with it (unintentionally) and it's probably only going to get worse from here.

It didn't play the animation for me (only the comments made me realize it was meant to be animated).

Him just standing there NOT dancing made this so much more funny and relatable to me.

Assuming each user will always encrypt to the same value, this still loses to statistical attacks.

As a simple example, users are e.g. more likely to vote on threads they comment in. With data reaching back far enough, people who exhibit "normal" behavior will be identified with high certainty.

In my experience, it is good at simple to medium complexity regex. For the harder ones it starts being quite useless though, at best providing a decent starting point to begin debugging from.
