Yes, and?

Trying to make money from games with long term support is a tricky thing that companies keep trying to do - it can lead to season passes, microtransactions, deluxe/supporter editions, buyable maps and expansions - or stuff like this.

Companies try to get money to support game, more news at eleven…

I got a first generation badgy, and it had an issue that prevented it working with the battery.

Sqfmi said they’d sent out a replacement part to fix it, but never got back to me.

I love the ideas they have, but I don’t trust them.

I know the Corsair 800D used to have these. This looks different, but might be in the same line.

Another vote for Binging with Babish - though my interest waned when he started going from “hey, I could try making that!” to episodes requiring ever more complex and expensive niche machines (e.g. dehydrators), I completely lost interest around the time he started doing the “going round buying folk things” series. Never really got back into it, unsubscribed after a while.

Bon Appetit was great, then everything happened, many folk changed (for good reason) and it just lost the appeal for me. I’ve watched some of the spun off channels, but some of the appeal for me was the interactions.

I used to religiously watch everything Shut Up and Sit Down put out, but found myself watching less and less over the last few years - turns out, they changed primary content creators and editor (if I understand correctly) around that time, and announced that they did so recently. Still watch occasionally, but it’s a very subtly different style that hits less reliably for me. May also be related to me managing to play fewer boardgames, lately.

Really enjoyed the format, looking forward to the extension of this in the next video!

Really appreciated the deeper dive and calm narrative along with the evolving code and demonstration. I feel like so many videos go into what without touching enough on why, so that was really good.

That seems an awesome concept! I’ll queue the video up!

Mild uh-oh from me, though I had a great time in Origins and everything has been less good since then…

I think that this is the logical place to put those opinions - it would make less sense unlinked to the post.

I dislike that it’s been shotgunned at nearly every post I see, regardless of how relevant it might be, and I don’t trust the output to represent the link.

Given there’s no “bad bot” style feedback functionality (that I know of), what else is there to do than block it?

I dunno, it seems easy enough to say “we’ve got rid of cAIo Colin v1.0 for his clearly insane ideas last year, we’re looking forward to bowing to the whims of Colin v1.3, who I hear has some excellent new data sets from last year!”

Or a different product, or whatever. Ew, in any case.

Is that shittywatercolour? Didn’t realise he was still posting!

That’s just not how LLMs work, bud. It doesn’t have understanding to improve, it just munges the most likely word next in line. It, as a technology, won’t advance past that level of accuracy until it’s a completely different approach.

Apologies, I thought I’d seen 60 seconds but since looking I’ve found a bunch of guesses from “every few” to numbers with nothing that looks like a source in headlines.

Going to the source, I found:

are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot.

Should have searched first, sorry!

Love that quote - will say that, to my eyes, what’s happening here is worse than results being wrong and the summary passing that on - in at least a few examples I’ve seen, the summary has contained information that is related to but the opposite of what was requested, e.g. a list titled “things you should do if bitten by a snake” that contains a list of things you should not do.

Or in the example of pizza glue, that being a great tip… If you want to do product photography of pizza.

Though this seems like a reasonably healthy take, it’s another thing that makes me think I don’t need to wonder about going back for The Final Shape.

I suspect you’d have a hard time training anyone to use software based on (say) a screenshot every sixty seconds. May be wrong.

When the founders all left, and/or Eurogamer acquired it (related) and started pushing the same videos/rubbish guides designed for SEO optimization rather than interesting articles written with passion.

To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. “what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine.”

So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.

Actually, for most uses of crypto it’s attempting to muddle in and “add” value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.

You’re doubting that it’s meeting or missing image quality?

Had to look it up, but “most probably” built between AD 1000–1050. Love that it’s old enough that we’re not entirely sure…
