Does your school have a robotics team or something along the lines of computing? That would be a good option. Also if you are still in high school and plan on going to college, you still have plenty of time to learn.

Well luckily AI researchers have achieved plenty in over 60 years. We call the ideas and innovations resulting from this research “AI.”

So the entire field of AI has produced no AI. Gotcha 👌

OK what qualifies as AI then?

Oof, programmers calling LLMs “AI” - that’s embarrassing

…but LLMs quite literally come from the field of computer science that is referred to as “AI.” What are they supposed to call it? I’m not a fan of the technology either, but seems like you’re just projecting your disdain for ChatGPT.

plenty of it doesn’t come from a company doing lousy stuff like this

So you only play indie games? Because that’s basically the only way you avoid “companies doing lousy stuff.”

I don’t know why an MSN link was used instead of a direct link to the article:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/microsoft-is-warping-the-pc-industry/

Again, not giving them a free pass. Just pointing out the terminology used is an overstatement.

I mean, I’m not exactly giving FF a pass here but rewarded is factually incorrect considering FF was paid to do the gig. The show wasn’t some free pat on the back for the execs doing such a great job.

Maybe the AI writing the articles are just taking credit for everything. “Yeah, that was me”

This is such a high level description that it is a meaningless comparison. The fact that Fallout doesn’t take itself nearly as seriously as Westworld is already a huge difference. Sometimes the implementation is what is valuable, not the idea.

I’m talking about the energy and resources to actually create and provide this service.

Depends on how much energy it takes. If it takes more resources than it frees, then I’d say it is not worth it.

I don’t have experience with the coffeesock, but I have use the Hario Woodneck filters daily. My method is this: boil water, run hot water through filter, add grinds, then do normal pourover method (may want to adjust grind since it may drain faster). After brewing, dump grinds in compost, rinse filter, put filter in small jar. Pour leftover boiling water from kettle into jar. Store in the fridge until tomorrow. Periodically (preferably monthly), you should clean the filter by soaking it in a combination of water and a little Cafiza. You have to really rinse well after the soak, because you really don’t want to taste that in your coffee. I have never used a Moccamaster, but I don’t see why this filter wouldn’t work for that since it takes V60 filters.

This process is basically what Hoffman recommends. I personally prefer my coffee through this filter since I like the oils of the coffee, but don’t really want the fines passing through the filter. That said, it does get very tedious sometimes; I have a metal filter that I use when I’m too lazy to go through this whole process. They aren’t really much of a cost-saving or waste-reducing measure. It takes quite a few pourovers before you save money (though I dunno, maybe you buy really fancy filters) and paper coffee filters are compostable. The most cost-effective solution really is a metal filter. However I think the fabric filters produce the best coffee IMO, but I’d imagine people who prefer lighter roasts might actually prefer the paper filters.

How do you get AI to change its answer when one researcher discovers what was generally accepted as fact is no longer true?

I’ll definitely keep this in mind if I end up going back to the industry. Thanks!

Correct me if I am wrong, but this doesn’t seem to work for devkits? Like if I want to run something on a PS4 devkit, I can’t use parsec for that, can I?

Maybe the tools have changed since last I worked in the industry (or maybe we weren’t good at using all the features), but I never saw that anyone had remote access to the devkits. I could remote into my workstation, but it surely was not the best way to work.

Not every dev is compiling code to run on a devkit

Depends on the studio. There will be a lead platform, and if that platform is a console, then a majority will run on a devkit.

surely they are not running a new build every day.

In the studio I worked in, we ran new builds almost twice a day. That doesn’t include the iterative changes you make if you are a programmer. If you don’t run new builds contantly, that means you aren’t doing any actual work if you are on the engineering side. If you are in art you might not really screw around with too many builds. If you are a director or producer, you might not either if you’re bad at your job.

I actually don’t like their games. I am speaking as someone who used to work for a AAA, both before and during COVID shelter in place
