This problem becomes even more asinine when you consider that the whole point of the Return to Office drive is the “Magic Hallway Conversation” that happens during those informal break time periods.

That is what they’re doing though.

It solves the prisoner’s dilemma problem. If my rival doesn’t protect workers, he can finish jobs cheaper and then put me out of business, etc

I think it’s kind of like how politicians “pause” their political campaigns when they concede. Technically they could come back to it, but almost certainly won’t.

Just finished playing Axiom Verge. Since I picked up a SteamDeck, I’m trying to play through my library. I’m trying to figure out which game in my library to tackle next between Blasphemous, Forager, or Spiritfarer.

I wish that game would come to Steam. I loved Ogre Battle as a kid.

It’s tolerated because he’s literally the best player in his position in the entire world (and one of the best in the history of the entire sport). What are the going to do? Get rid of him?

If you’re not one of the best, the behavior is not tolerated as much.

Do you mean 500 million and 1.4 billion people?

Here’s a short podcast about her: Planet Money

The podcast pretty much just sums up what you already said, but this is for people who don’t like reading.

They may have broccoli, but at least we have Celery Man.

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.

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.

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

I’m excited about the updated traffic sim. My CS games always just ended up being how to best plan roads to avoid the bad AI.

One that I love (in addition to Ori and Hollow Knight) is Spiritfarer. Beautiful all the way through with lovely orchestration and colorful melodies.
