  1. https://www.interglot.com/dictionary/en/en/translate/tease apart#:~:text=Alternate Synonyms for "tease apart,%3B disentangle%3B unsnarl%3B straighten out Sorry if the expression is unfamiliar. Tease apart refers to disentangling. In this context, I'm saying level design is an entangled concept with gameplay. That is, I would absolutely classify level design as part of gameplay. If seems you don't want to. Which as I said, is fine, I just don't know why you want to separate those concepts.
  2. The developers would not have architected the level design to have numerous world switches if they couldn't do it quickly. If new tech changes the level design games can provide that seems like a pretty fair definition of "gameplay" changing. If you disagree with that, I guess that's fine, but I'm not sure why you care to tease it apart that way.
  3. It is big! But there are increasing problems pretty much everywhere across the state. And even if we just talk fires, the effect of those can be significant in multiple ways.
  4. How's that orange haze workin' for ya? I mean seriously wtf at this shit. It's game over man.
  5. Naaa. I don't do chatter bots, even highly impressive many hundred-billion parameter trained ones. I prefer AI work that involves action-taking agents. If you go to the linked letter on Washington Post, it's clear they don't know what Markdown is
  6. This is a really weird fucking show. I'm still watching, and yet still don't know what I think about it!
  7. I don't think anyone "deserves" anything, good or bad. And I tend to think that's a bad way to think about "ethical" issues since I think it's nonsensical concept. A better way to think about things is what the harm and benefits are to people. In this case, there is potentially a useful benefit to her being on the receiving end of some of Trump's shit that may balance the harm. Too many people, particularly those who are Trump supporters, refuse to acknowledge and respond to the harm he causes if it's not directly and obviously affecting them too. If Trump never treated Huckabee the same way he's treated countless other women it would be all too fucking easy for her to look the other way because she's that kind of self-involved person. If she actually has to suffer at least some degree of the shit she had turned a blind eye to, she might actually start adjusting her position even if only slightly. I'm not sure I'd be able to give you a simple clean answer. The tension is between how much benefit there is in her confronting and changing her positions from the things she experience, and the degree of pain and trauma of the experience itself. Rape would easily cross line because it's so horrendous an act it would counter act any benefit in her having to shift her feelings.
  8. It's like we were lovers in a former life, finding each other all over again.
  9. I'm willing to chalk up the failures of the final two seasons to the fact that they were basically checked out and wanted to stop doing it. In that sense I'm will to see how they do on something else, because I thought they otherwise did a good job.
  10. I'm on board. 3090 is just too much for personal use, but the 3080 will be mine along with an entirely new PC.
  11. I realize this is a joke, but to be more serious, any large scale AI project requires many people working on it. The lone rogue scientist who does everything and adds special secret protocols only exists in sci fi. There's basically no world in which working for Facebook will allow you to do more good than working elsewhere.
  12. They've emailed me like 4 times even though I haven't responded so far, hence why I'm thinking of formulating a response. There are good and otherwise well-meaning researchers in Facebook AI. But I think they're all wrong to work for such an awful company. You can get decent paying jobs elsewhere doing AI pretty easily these days, you don't need to empower such a terrible business to do good AI work. Unless Facebook undergoes a massive change in business practices, I refuse to work for them.
