It's almost the opposite of how movies fake large explosions by overcranking the frame rate on miniatures. That fireball was at least 800 feet high. The wobble was probably the cameraman running, lol. I had my cousin from SpaceX over for dinner on Monday. He said the next two Starships (after...

The prep sucks but the procedure itself is really a non-issue unless you're one of those masochists who wants to be conscious. You just go to sleep and wake up and it's over. The concept is gross but really important, especially given the rising rates of early-onset aggressive colon cancers...

I don't train at gyms without on-site showers. I had skin issues for years while I waited until I got home home, even though it was a short drive. They immediately vanished when I started showering right after class. Combat sports in general are fucking gross. We had to toss a guy out of the...

No. The basic structure of LLMs does not process logic in the way that math requires. Everyone is working on the best way to integrate external calculation modules.

Raise 'em right:

Not woodworking, but in the same vein I've been very impressed with Wusthof's warranty on knives. My wife and I got a set almost 20 years ago for our wedding and over time the resin handles all cracked. I sent them back for repair this year and they immediately gave me $1200 in store credits...

It does, he just said that's not how the product is monetized.

That's not data, that's you pulling numbers out of your ass. And I'm talking about the trend since the 80s, not just the last few years.

It's making a comparison of launch title pricing (exactly which titles, I'm not sure). The PS5 launch was 2020, so that was the last data point as of the analysis time in 2024. As far as the rest, if you think there's something importantly different feel free to link some data. I think whatever...

Secondhand account obviously, but this is exactly what my wife's team is using Cursor for (for varying definitions of "large"). They have an enterprise setup where the agent is trained specifically on their code base. They can tell it "I am seeing X behavior at point Y where I think I should see...

They are either the one who built it or learned from someone that did, just like now. Institutional knowledge is absolutely a thing and if it's not curated will be lost. I guess I'm just saying "Don't do that," and am expressing indifference to the fate of companies that don't invest in the...

I assume you're talking about the short/medium term where we have these GPT-style tools that aren't truly intelligent and make shit up. The obvious answer is don't use AI for important new problems unless you're capable of appropriately checking and fixing the output. If we turn out to be...

For reference, inflation-adjusted game prices: Game market size, I think NOT adjusted for inflation. The PS2 era drove a huge market expansion.
