Well, obviously someone did the math and figured out it’s better to have these titles than not. So I’d say you’re wrong.

If the title makes more people click in the first place and the amount of people who stay to read at least until they know they’re not interested, is bigger than the number of visitors if they had a normal title… the stupid title wins.

Unfortunately that’s not just gaming related news, but all news (and non-news).

It’s by design. It leaves you wondering (and ideally click on the article).

What I actually would like to know if journalists, or whoever writes the articles, are picking these headlines consciously or if they’re following guidelines. I can imagine both scenarios.

Dark Gary doesn’t seem to care. Light Gary however seems to be looking out for you.

We do that for some of the more complex business logic. We wrote libraries, which are used by our tests, and we wrote tests which test the library functions to ensure they provide correct results.

What always worries me is that WE came up with that. It wasn’t some higher up, or business unit, or anything. Only because we cared to do our job correctly. If we didn’t - nobody would. Nobody is watching the testers (in my experience).

Who tests the tests

Fair, maybe that’s how it was meant. But “dicking around” makes me think otherwise.

If your mental capacity is reached by checking your surroundings while all the traffic is going roughly the same speed as you, then no way youre capable of handling “no speed limit” where everyone is driving to their liking.

It’s not just you who’d be suddenly free to do whatever they want, but everyone else too.

Claiming “I know better what’s best for me” is the best sign of someone who absolutely doesn’t.

I think his argument is valid, just as yours is.

You’re right it’s not only the US. But he’s also right that phones are not the only reason / common denominator. Basically every country has a rigged economy and a two class justice system - some more, some less. But the ruling class secured their privileges everywhere. Our planet’s doom looming over the horizon is also a global phenomenon.

What unrestricted access to the internet is doing: it’s making everyone much more aware of those things, their global scale. Everyone gets a feeling of how bad it is because there seems to be no greener pasture anymore.

Anyone has that meme with Space-Marine-style Millienial protecting lil-Gen-Z guy with his sword, saying “they fucked us real good, no?” or something.

It was here a couple weeks ago.

Not that I ever reused the potato cooking water, but TIL. Thank you.

That show should come with the disclaimer to avoid the season finale at all costs. Just terrible.

Dictatorships (or any otherwise ideology driven entities) will have their very own problems training AI. Cannot feed the AI material which goes against your own ideology or it might not act in your best interest.

I like the idea (I don’t want to call it a fan theory) that it resembles a typical “first love” relationship. Whose first relationship / young love was not cringe and full of awkward situations (for bystanders)?

Never thought of this, you’re not wrong.

On the other side her dying because she lost the will to life… is kind of a good explanation for an unlikely death in such an advanced civilization.

Obviously they could simply keep her alive despite any actual medical condition. So what else could she die of… except for a spiritual (I don’t know a better description) reason.

Kind of a “so bad it’s actually good” explanation.

I don’t think that’s entirely fair. Typically answers are getting upvoted when they work for someone. So the top answer worked for more people than the other answers. Now there can be more than one solution to a problem but neither the people who try to answer the question, nor the people who vote on the answers, can possibly know which of them works specifically for you.

ChatGPT will just as well give you a technically correct, but for you wrong, answer. And only after some refinement give the answer you need. Not that different than reading all the answers and picking the one which works for you.

I don’t want to compare the behavior, only the quality of the answers. An unintentional error of ChatGPT is still an error, even when it’s delivered with a smile. I absolutely agree that the behavior of some SO users is detrimental and pushes people away.

I can also see ChatGPT (or whatever) as a solution to that - both as moderator and as source of solutions. If it knows the solution it can answer immediately (plus reference where it got it from), if it doesn’t know the solution it could moderate the human answers (plus learn from them).

Amazing how much hate SO receives here. As knowledge base it’s working super good. And yes, a lot of questions have been answered already. And also yes, just like any other online community there’s bad apples which you have to live with unfortunately.

Idolizing ChatGPT as a viable replacementis laughable, because it has no knowledge, no understanding, of what it says. It’s just repeating what it “learned” and connected. Ask about something new and it will simply lie, which is arguably worse than an unfriendly answer in my opinion.

Yes and no. Yes because the process would work in theory. No because the attestor (supposedly the OS?) wouldn’t attest your “headless proxy browser” as legitimate client.

Using a proxy would move the battlefield to how to trick the attestor. But realistically the whole thing will go down this route anyway. It’s another arms race. At the very end they’ll require cryptographic chips soldered into your device which make sure you’re not sideloading any software before running the OS, which would allow you to trick the legitimate attestor of the OS.
