And they fire 33 of them (at full thrust) when launching.

So, Mortal Kombat 12, except we're calling it 1 (it's 12, since Raiden is still replaced by Liu Kang, which wouldn't be if it was a real reboot).

I think they should have an achievement about playing only with a controller. :trollface:

Micro, partial spoiler

DNA killed that canard in the 21st century. You can map every single chromosome in human DNA to one in Chimpanzees and Bonobos, with nearly every gene located at the same place on the same chromosome, etc. We still have the remains of the fusion of the two chromosomes that remain separate in the...

The current inventory in the warehouse is always displayed on top, in the various categories (where you have the red/green indicator telling you if that category grows or shrinks in quantity). You can also click on a warehouse, but I find it less useful, mostly because everything is clumped in...

Independent authors live (and die) by Kindle Unlimited these days. There was a big discussion recently (actually two, one starting with arguments "for" and one with arguments "against") on reddit's progression fantasy subreddit about that. When it comes to litrpg/progfan, the majority of the...

It's a scam. They quickly realized they were making money off producing shiny ship models, and doing "limited releases" to capitalize on FOMO, and that the game part wasn't important. I wouldn't be surprised if there were only two-three people doing some coding from home, and doing self Q&A, vs...

Ah, so separate account to distinguish shilling from normal shitposting. Got it.

The special draw of that one is that it's all about the first few hours. Then you win (or lose), and move to the next city (randomness will force you to adapt once you decide to go into harder difficulties).

Yeah, I'd say this fits the bill for r/HFY

Which is why good project managers are incredibly good (and expensive): it's because they can get at the heart of what's needed. Or why Agile methods were invented: you don't know what they want, so show them something, see if it fits, then iterate and hope you get the real requirements.

Another example is Mars Opportunity. The stated mission time for that rover was... three months. That's it. It worked for 14 years before before it the last big dust storm finally ended its battery and all of that was extra.

I'm going to wait for actual hardcover. Hopefully, it won't take as long Tress (which arrived mid-march).

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...
