FWIW, the only time I ever had emergency brakes kick in are in spurious situations, like tight maneuvers or there is something ahead with plenty of headway to decide whether you should brake or not. A cyclist moved close to the traffic light fast and the car completely stopped. This one was a bit more dangerous because had there been someone behind, that driver would not have expected such an abrupt stop.
>so I would get random brake slams which would panic me more
Every time it happens, it hurts as I'm not prepared for it.
Lane assist is also particularly bad as it handles some slight curves incorrectly, so it resists your driving. As a result with such cars I have my arms muscles tense up in anticipation of some turns.
Apparently my definition of tutor is so demanding that it should not be expected at all from a tutor (even if provided with information on the tutees weaknesses, tutors don't use the information effectively). However, the point of these studies are to gauge large scale effects rather than high variance small sample size effects. There's a lot more that is very interesting.
To me, what makes a game a game is that you can learn how it works simply by interacting with it; you don't need to open a separate wiki. That is not entirely true, as for examples fighting games have been infamous for needing to go online to learn how combos work, but this is widely considered to be a major factor of why the genre is unpopular, and recent games have tried to at least give proper tools (in training mode).
Right now, it feels a bit like a series of exercises with the guiding text replaced by dungeon fluff; it's pretty neat, yet you could as much say 'just give me the tutorial'.
In a game format I would for instance expect not to have to type the "proof [...] qed" part for example; its purpose is to be a bounding box, but interacting through text is cumbersome -- it isn't really for a developer who sees the benefit of plain text, but it is for a most users who might bang their head against the syntactic impedance mismatch.
To put that into perspective though, I remember Brett Victor's "Alligator Eggs", and the idea is very compelling; games are self-motivating, so if you can learn some real skills then you solved everything.
Combinatory logic, sequent calculi etc naturally lend themselves pretty well to the puzzle formats, yet I don't think there's anyone who really succeeded at any real implementation of it.
I'm mostly rambling my own view on the subject here, it's certainly an interesting experiment :-)
The role of a tutor is to find your weakest point (or points) and give you personalized advice on how to improve on them. It is important that you can put trust on the tutor, as your weak point is likely due to a blind spot. When given criticism, it can be viewed as objective or subjective, i.e. a "question of taste", and thus the criticism would be viewed as invalid and not acted upon. As to whether the tutor should point your weakest point or some combination of weak point, it should depend on what helps you learn the most efficiently; it might be to focus on one aspect, or work in a more integrated fashion.
Last (although that may be first), they should consider what are really your learning objectives to tailor that advice.
1. The standard of compromise makes no sense because there "the video-game industry" is not a company with a representative. Any compromise you could find would be dismissed on the basis that it's one lobby groups among others anyway.
2. The statements made by somewhat representative groups like the ESA showed any compromise was impossible since their whole premise is "if you don't let us kill games (which we aren't doing) then it's going to kill the industry"; the typical propaganda of "our enemies are insignificant and stupid yet the greatest threat to humanity"
3. The ESA statements were disavowed by some developers, and SKG made a point to have longer videos with developers agreeing and debunking the lies in the ESA statements already. If that's not enough, refer to point 1.
>rights of its citizen workers/producers
The whole point is that the basis of commerce is that you can't sell something and destroy it just afterwards. Sure you can have limited time subscriptions but that's not how video-games are sold. They are changing the definition based on context so they can do the most unethical things as they see fit, and as a result they are entirely destroying the industry by breaking consumer trust.
Nerds were often seen as poorly social since "logic and reasoning" would go against socially accepted norms.
This where the fedora tipping meme comes from: "everybody understands that religion is not literal, but we have to all accept the lie for social cohesion".
But "nerds" would be the ones willing to take the ridicule and ostracism because truth would be more important than conformity.
Reddit was the place to be for nerds and spread like a pandemic.
However, karma points turned this on its head since you have a mechanism to enforce conformity in non-conformity that was the basis for "nerd communities".
Nerds hobbies that would be the gateway are gated behind such platforms that enforce a social credit system in a totalitarian way.
The would have been nerds are thus mostly integrated into the redittor archetype that is so fundamentally opposed to the nerd archetype; a contorted version of itself trying to fit through distorting mirrors.
I'm not disagreeing with you; but why did the nerds not destroy the ideologues with logic and reasoning if not for the horizontal pressure of other "nerds" subverting the concept?
I was personally put off by the fact that the MegaDrive limitations actually negatively impact the gameplay, while there are little gains that I see in that "limited space fostering creativity" that you would expect from the pitch.
In particular, there are bullet visibility issues (see the Electric Underground's review [0] for a more detailed analysis) which I think show how the console limitations would need a much deeper mastery to properly support such modern game design thinking.
However, "a Mega Drive game!" is a great sales point to the majority of people invested in the nostalgia market, with only a surface-level interest of what these games are.
It's why it made it to the font page of hn, and not it's perfect 'traditional' sprite art, or its Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack.
I like shmups because they are pretty much "pure game design"; games are such a complete package of story, interactive experience, etc that it's hard to separate what comes from where. This is what makes design experimentation so interesting and rich.
Just looking at the "analog desk" picture, it almost hurts to see the bad posture reading the book. Hunched forward, bent neck... Shouldn't you invest in a book stand, or something that would not cause such discomfort?
I was thinking about this recently in order to solve the problem of RPG fights. Deterministic combat is not super exciting, but dice throwing is even worse. What if instead you quickly printed a puzzle that you can do on a timer, and your score determines whether you miss or hit a critical.
Also instead of meta-progression through stats you have increased difficulties through the puzzles, but you improve your puzzle-solving skills.
If monetization is at odds with open-source, why wouldn't potential customers just wouldn't go to VueScan, as someone posted? I was recently looking at scanners, and saw some brands directly advertise Linux support through this... which means you now have to pay subscription each year to access the expensive hardware you bought.
Thankfully the Avision FB5100 states native Linux support (AFAIK, this is the only flatbed A3 scanner that does), so I'm certainly going to buy this one. I know implementing device support for companies that don't make any effort is hard and thankless, but then we need to divest/invest in the right companies and solutions.
I don't think the question is stupid, because I kind of consider that to make use of a palette like this, you still need a lot of skills that if you do have, you can probably as easily do your own palette directly from a painting by yourself.
>As a creative, one needs to develop their own <creative thing/technique> for what they are trying to create. So what is the value in looking at how other creative things were made?
That's not the how of the process at all, that's the end result. The "how" for traditional art is completely different; it is taking pigments as a base rather than light, and the algebra of composition is not the same either.
Not sure about the use for it, is it supposed to be design or painting?
I've thought about making this for a long time to help me with painting, but in that case I think to be useful you need a bit more ways to see the data -- mostly, the thing that is the most important is value. So to get something useful out of it you need a distribution of the hues conditioned value.
And for design, the problem is a bit different. You may have a good looking palette, but 'inverting it' for dark mode is not trivial, and neither are gradients, getting intermediate colors, or getting a shifted hue.
It's called inspiration so it's fulfilling its promise, I'm just curious what are your thoughts on these since you obviously thought a lot about it.
I did wonder, reading such a comment, whether it would be a hyperbole, but not only is it documented, it is way worse than that. The free market is only ever enforced in the direction that suits the US, and the vassal states get screwed.
KDE's hard-switch to Wayland broke so many things in my workflows, from what used to be a perfect system.
For keyboard expansions espansso/ydotools crash bi-hourly and I couldn't pinpoint the source, clipboard sharing between applications doesn't work anymore, global shortcuts have been limited... The essence is the same, but it is so broken that it has a real productivity impact that will require a lot of effort to correct, and would depend on upstream fixes...
On that matter, wouldn't an AI flag for submissions help hn? I wouldn't flag a submission for LLM style as it is too harsh, but I don't want to read them -- if only because I don't like LLM prose.
There are so many submissions where most of the discussion is about whether the content has any human effort behind, or the LLM was just a purely assistive role like translating. It's really devaluing hn, IMO.
Not sure how much an AI flag would help, or introduce new issues, given how difficult the problem is, though.
>talkie is a 13-billion-parameter language model trained on pre-1931 text
>It can produce outputs that are inaccurate or offensive
>but moderation is [only] applied
I don't think you can get even a moderate version of a person's opinion from the 30's.
What even is the point of this? Open any book from the time and you will get far more "current day offensive" stuff.
Given how hard it is to believe that there was no temporal leaking, and how inaccurate the results are, what use is there to it?
Moderation also seems to silently hang up the chat.
At this point I've become paranoid of my own writing.
The LLM style seems to have become worse with time, more formatted, having only a few syntactic template it forces everything to go through.
So that spurred me to write a lot more write-ups and blogposts that were laying around.
But now I'm reading my own lines wondering if that feels AI? The only thing I can be sure of are my ESL-isms, and my convoluted, unending, extremely hard to parse sentences that would just deter people from reading.
