Pretty insane that you can get this close to the real thing this way.
Rocket league is one of my favourite games, and I'm pretty decent at it (rank champion 1). I kinda felt like my controller was a bit broken when playing this, a lot of commands were just ignored, and forget doing stuff like speed flips. But I did feel like was controlling the car, and everything about the game looked very much like the real thing. Ball movement was on point, I didn't notice any weird bounces or anything.
The lack of opponents pulling triple flip resets and double-tapping musty's (musties?) was the most notable difference from the real thing
Very thankful someone is doing this work! I suspect it will be thankless work for a while: we're not far enough into diminishing gains territory for anything other than the absolute best being worth considering for most people, but I reckon we will be pretty soon. If a year from now swe 2.0 or whatever reaches fable 5 parity for a fraction of the cost, that'll be very attractive indeed!
Dammit! I live in Europe and the cyber truck isn't even available here..
That said a huge pickup truck is about as far as you can get from a Camaro... Then again I'm not exactly David Hasslehoff myself either... Meh if it talks that's close enough!
I don't understand this line of reasoning. How are you hindered from doing any of those things? What part of "AI can now do X" makes it so you can't also do X?
Yeah that seems about right! I mean, it is a property of the code itself also, but the code is not the only place quality resides. I think it's fair expect that any piece of software will require updates, and a high quality code base is easier to modify than a poor quality one. But, as you point out, surrounding process, people working on it etc etc etc are also super important.
I think readability is very important for quality. It creates resilience against any hardship that requires changing the code, which is probably most hardships.
A low quality code base can be problem free if surrounding circumstances are forgiving enough. Conversely, a high quality codebase can have a lot of problems in difficult circumstances.
I haven't thought about it long enough to have a definition of quality that I'm really happy with, but I think a "resilience to hardships" would be a better definition of quality. Hardships can come in many forms, and often you're prepared for some of them but not all. Occasionally you'll be prepared for hardships that never occur. There is something to be said for being resilient against the correct kinds of hardships, which is why I'm not entirely pleased with my definition either.
But absence of problems is not it. That might be entirely circumstantial and is therefore orthogonal to quality.
R.F Turner is a pretty nice example of nominative determinism. Parents up and named him "radio frequency dial", so of course he works in antenna technology
Brazil is pretty damn fertile, and nearly as large as the US though... If we're just talking about farmable land area, I'd be surprised if the US is larger than Brazil. Farmed land area is a different thing though. Not sure how what compares.
This entire article is... Nonsense? It categorically dismisses e2ee, without any supporting evidence whatsoever, other than the notion that a provider might push a update that doesn't encrypt messages anymore.
It's on the level of "you can't trust your OS unless you wrote it yourself"
-righteous sounding but utterly stupid in practice
As a fellow dog owner I feel obligated to point out that not all barking is aggressive.
People not used to dogs often seem to think it is, and I'd hate for people to start shooting dogs just because they bark. Dogs bark, it's what they do.
