FTFY. Only Waybound left in the series.

Quick reminder: when it comes to technologies, it's almost never exponential curves. It's always a S-curve: it's hard at the beginning, then things start falling together and progress is fast, then you slowly enter the refinement age, when progress becomes incremental again. Right now, we're...

At the same time, you have 1/3rd or 1/6th of the gravity, so you can get away with less thrust.

It shouldn't surprise you. The author is one of the founders-slash-moderators of reddit's r/progressionfantasy, which is now permanently flagged with the full Progressive Pride flag (the rainbow with the added race bits), to piss off "nazis", with a promise that, every time someone - anyone -...

Scott Manley was saying in his latest cast that you shouldn't expect the launch to work out without "a lot of delays".

One of the venerable ancients, A Tale in The Desert, had off-line chores. Once you'd gathered enough of a basic material, you could set it as "offline" and you'd log back in with some of it. It was basically the equivalent of 20 mins of work for a day, but that was something you did not need to...

Wendy is not in France, but they've indicated recently they're intending to get here (after starting in the UK).

I love the "Non-Fungible Tunic"...

Since it was April 1st yesterday, I skipped over the Internet and didn't open my mail. But I forgot that April 1st was also the day of the Secret Project 2 release!

By the way, Secret Book 1 (Tress) finally arrived here in France. Nice box (with book quotes on it), good packing. I'm almost afraid to open the book.

Dunno, but I checked my warranty. My fridge was purchased in 1996. (in general, I stay away from anything with a LG logo)

Sir, this is not the YGWYFD thread.

Same. I will "early acess" and won't click "install" until launch day.

Also, Waybound (Cradle 12) is on June 6th.

Then later, you had to re-enable them so you could use your mount (and med on it).

It's not databases. It's neural architectures. Basically, ChatGPT is a "brain" that is pared down to language centers and memory. That's why it fails badly when you stray from chatting and try to have it think. It does not think, it talks. That's all it can do. ChatGPT is a politician: it's...

There is also the absolutely obscenely racist fact that the typical hierarchy of IQ is: Africans (ancestral population) -> Europeans -> Asians, and both Europeans and Asians still have Neanderthal genes (about 1%) since those guys covered the entire Eurasia. Denisovan genes are only prevalent in...

Isn't there already an (AI-powered) scoring test that gives you the likelihood that text was generated by AI vs a person?

Apparently, it's a lot of hard work to implement a set in Arena. Since their goal is mostly the standard format (which forces players to constantly churn new sets, hence buy packs for a lot of them), implementing old sets isn't considered worth it. There is still the issue of art licensing too...

All roads lead to Tay.

Put ABU on Arena, watch heads explode.

The big problem with the way the GPT model works is that there is no discrete way to find "the sources" used. Because there is no specific source, everything that was in the dataset ends up having an impact on the final result. Case in point: They trained a GPT model on the full medical corpus...

The road was straight before:

"You first."

That's another possible. Quern-stones were mostly for making primitive flour. But the traces of fire on it might be that too...

Looks like some form of Quern-stones. Those were stones used for grinding grain. But the multiple holes seem weird.

With M3GAN, dead simple seems correct.

And why Microsoft is already investing bajillions in it. Bing with AI = 5% market share for Google.

Don't worry, they'll play Tencent's copy of WoW: Tarisland *EDIT: Drat, sniped*

There's a scene in a novel like that. The main character is playing a full immersion VR Soccer game, and someone absolutely needs to talk to him, so they hack into his game and plop an avatar down in the middle of the field. All the AI bot players can't figure out what is the proper reaction to...

Paraphrasers are AI tools too. I wouldn't bet against AI detectors (who are AI themselves, the traitors!) being unable to detect paraphrasers. The "humanness score" tool, notably, might be able to detect human written text, rather than specific AI text.

With the first 74 chapters now on Amazon after editing book 1, there are still 9714 pages, up to the last chapter 929 on RR. The pacing is still slow, but it's way better than what I remember being on RR.

Also, D&D is about 15-20% of WotC's earnings, if I remember right.

Different series. It's an AI who opens a portal to a world which runs under RPG rules, because of nostalgia as it was the constant companion of his owner's son in those VRMMO. Lands near Byzantium with a load of nanotech and a bioengineered body, proceeds to exploit the hell out of the System...

Recent top notch recommendations: Divine Apostasy series, by A. F. Kay (yes) The Great Core's Paradox I & II, by Zendran (snek litrpg) Second tier recommendations: Azarinth Healer, by Rhaegar (much edited/rewritten version from the RR one, which is actually finished) Wake of the Ravager, by...
