You burning out is a process failure. Work normal hours and let shit fail 🤷‍♂️. Say the reduction in hours is “health related” so they can’t pry.

I can tell you haven’t booted the game up recently because they completely redid the perk system and cyberware not too long ago.

CDPR has been atoning for the sin that was their failed launch for years. In my opinion, the game is a good game now.

Forgot about this one. I loved this phone back in the day. Remember when it would say DROID when you booted it up?

The LG Env2 would have been the perfect smartphone form factor, change my view.

Storage data structures. Database tables are designed for fast read/write. Excel is designed for fast simultaneous parallel computation.

To get a sense of what this looks like, you can read more about their data structures; Databases typically store data in what’s called a “B Tree” and spreadsheets typically store as a format that can be easily converted into a “Directed Acyclic Graph” (although Excel lets you turn off the “acyclic” part if you allow circular references).

Although, with Excel specifically, there’s probably not much difference since it has some database functionality now.

I don’t care. Gimme.

Railbound is a fun one

Cool, now provide solutions that exist today for every other country

I always leave my project in a state where it doesn’t compile or run (not commits, obvs) so I’m forced back into understanding exactly what I was doing when I left off to fix the error.

It does get stuck in a rut sometimes. If you kill the app and come back to it lsome time ater, that signals that they need to shake things up so your “randomness factor” (my term) gets boosted the next time you start scrolling.

I have kids. I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

Children shouldn’t have social media accounts in my opinion. Nothing to attack or break into if it doesn’t exist.

A coworker shouldn’t know enough or otherwise have enough access to your child such that they can break into their accounts.

Failing all that, parents need to have frank discussions about the potential dangers of internet fans turning into real life people, and some of the more severe potential consequences.

Even without those three layers of failure, your kids need to know about basic online account security, like using unique strong passwords and two factor authentication.

That all being said- I don’t know the people or the situation. But from your short account of things that’s what I see as wrong with the situation.

In general, the social networks of today are optimized for extracting value and attention from adult brains; an incomplete adolescent brain stands no chance.

Kids can still socialize electronically just fine in group chats with the advent of RCS implementation on both major phone platforms.

Not sure what kids in cages have to do with anything or why they were mentioned.

If making Mr Weebl laugh at my TikTok comments is wrong I don’t wanna be right.

Name them!

Tiktok shows you more of what you engage in and throws some randomness in there so you don’t get stuck in a local minimum. It’s like when YouTube’s algorithm kinda worked and you could see how it’d possibly be better; bytedance actually pulled it off instead of enshittifying.

And it takes time for the algorithm to learn your tastes. If you’re a mouth breather at heart you’re gonna get mouth breather content no matter how much you try and change it. If you’re a perv and linger on thirst traps… You’re going to see more thirst traps.

With your described scenario, that’s not unique to tiktok- that can happen on any platform when the child is unsupervised. It could have been twitch, Roblox, Instagram, Snapchat, it myriad other platforms; the real problem there is inattentive parenting.

I’ve learned about more shitty local government practices from tiktok than any other platform. I’ve been exposed to points of view I’d never otherwise see. Random videos have triggered just as much progress on my mental health as years of therapy. I’ve found people far more articulate than me explaining shit that combats my family’s far right talking points in a way where they actually listen and change their mind, and vice versa.

I’ve also consumed an inordinate amount of white hot memes and mountains of brain rot lol

But yeah. The TT algorithm is a mirror (given time). It reflects your persona back at you with the type of content you see.

Killing Vivec and then getting the message about being doomed was probably my favorite “oh shit” moment of all time.

Slay the spire, FTL, and Into the Breach probably have the most hours from me because the controls are entirely cursor driven and can be paused indefinitely.

Balatro is quickly taking the space that the built-in Windows solitaire game used to.

Those are the ones that I open when my brain can’t brain.

At least one idle game. I just finished antimatter dimensions after a year or so. Starting on NGU idle next.

And one “100% attention” game like outer wilds or hollow knight.

I usually gift Wallpaper engine. Not a game but it’s a fantastic tool for personalization.

Yes he talks about that in the video. The researchers used $500k+ of equipment. He built a similar thing for under $1k

The game was done at launch. I played through the campaign the first month after it was released. I would have been happy with what was in the game a year ago

People bought the game and that enabled larian to keep working on it. So they got to polish and add in the stuff that had been left on the cutting room floor we’d have never otherwise seen due to that pesky reality of not being able to ship a finished product if the scope kept growing.

So now, a year after release, there’s a whole DLC’s worth of content in the game that we just get for free.

A generative model uses the classifier as part of its training. If you generate a picture of pure random noise, then iteratively pick random noise that the classifier says “looks” more like csam, then you can effectively generate images that the classifier says it’s 100% certain is csam. Whether or not that looks anything like what a human would consider to be csam depends on other factors but it remains a possibility.
