Decades of JRPG have taught me those seals on ancient evils are almost always made breakable by a dumb kid that has no idea what he's doing.

I vaguely thought it might be about guns too, and I couldn't tell if it was made by someone who was pro or against guns. Now people are like, it's obviously about AI, and the analogy makes even less sense to me.

Weird. Doesn't look like the same place at all.

I've looked up pictures of the palace and the initiation well, but that tower is never in the well pictures.

This map shows what the top of the well looks like.

Because ACME products lack that renowned 60s Soviet quality, obviously.

Not even a good thing globally because we're not replacing production by recycling and secondhand buying. Production is going stronger and more wasteful than ever, it's just all absorbed in the AI war.

I've been using that site for a while, for whenever some well-meaning but misguided person posted information I need on reddit :

https://rdx.overdevs.com/

With a redirection browser extension to automatically redirect reddit links to rdx.overdevs.com. No registration, clean UI, no unwanted automatic translation.

No idea how long it'll last, already there are some links that don't get through it, and I noticed it doesn't seem to work on desktop anymore (still going strong on mobile browser though). Didn't look too much into it, maybe there's something to fix in the redirection. It's made for mobile, so even when it works on desktop there's a fixed max length giving it a sort of newspaper column look but it was not a bad thing IMO.

I definitely agree about putting in some effort if it's for something important to you, but that's probably not how people doing stuff like that think.

They're all about optimizing their output, with a spammer's mindset. Who cares about effort, you can have a robot apply for a million things at once and just wait for whatever sticks. They believe they've cracked the system. And who knows, maybe most recruiters can't tell (yet).

Yet another case of slop pollution making every aspect of life worse.

What makes firefox's backend better? I've been considering switching from it lately.

Is that the one where he's screaming "I... LOVE... THIS... COMPANYYY!!!" instead? Or was that the same one?

For this analogy to work, you aren't making kids not play on the street anymore. You're purposefully running over kids playing in the street and telling them they should get cars so they can start rampages of their own.

Some of them born from my period of discovering Castlevania and having to play all of them.

First, the N64 Castlevanias. Ugly, terrible platforming, bad camera, but occasionally trying cool stuff. Oh, of course, bonus point for the second one being technically a sequel with new characters and a continuation of the story and basically the same game with a lot of reused and slightly tweaked levels.

And now for the worst one...Castlevania Judgment (Wii). A fighting game featuring several characters from the Castlevania series fighting in gimmicky arenas with a generic "I gathered you all from all over the timeline to fight the ultimate big bad". I loved to hate that game.

Most characters are unrecognizable. They got Obata of Death Note fame to redesign everyone, and it shows.

Simon Belmont has the usual beefy barbarian body with Light Yagami's head grafted on it. Death is basically Ryuk. Maria has a distinctly Misa Amane gothic lolita style that has nothing to do with any of her apparitions. Grant Danasti is... well it's not as much as he's a Death Note character, he just basically became Voldo from SoulCalibur for some reason. Eric Lecarde was brought into the game as a young boy and doesn't look anything like his two apparitions in the series, he's the token shouta brat in this.

Funnily enough, the game has Cornell, the werewolf from the aforementioned second Castlevania 64, despite those games being basically purged from the Castlevania canon in everything else. Likewise the boss is a very random reference to the Kid Dracula NES game, basically a Castlavania parody game featuring... a young Alucard? maybe? He technically already had a reference in Symphony of the Night, but in this game he's specifically referencing "lore" from the parody game.

Even the characterization is unsufferable. Maria is a teen from somewhere between Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night, and she spends the whole game envying other female characters who have bigger breasts. In fact almost everyone is obsessed with something they have to bring up in almost every line, and it's either a very basic background tidbit or completely out of place.

All in all it's very much bad SoulCalibur with an attempt at CV fanservice completely missing the point. I spent way too much time on that shit.

Yeah, and the audience reactions make this run even better.

Le responsable a très certainement oublié d'effectuer une Identification Immédiate de Serveur Production, aussi connue sous le nom de "Test cédric".

Every now and then I see a guy barging in a topic bringing nothing else than "I asked [some AI service] and here's what it said", followed by 3 paragraphs of AI-gened gibberish. And then when it's not well received they just don't seem to understand.

It's baffling to me. Anyone can ask an AI. A lot of people specifically don't, because they don't want to battle with its output for an hour trying to sort out from where it got its information, whether it represented it well, or even whether it just hallucinated half of it.

And those guys come posting a wall of text they may or may not have read themselves, and then they have the gall to go "What's the problem, is any of that wrong?"... Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it's wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up, and have only brought automated noise to the conversation.

I don't think I really care who wins that one, but :

Meta responded in October by filing a motion to dismiss, arguing the sporadic downloads were consistent with ordinary ‘personal use’ by employees and visitors on the corporate network.

Oh, yeah, just your ordinary downloading porn on the corporate network of a tech giant megacorp, as you do.

Either a lie or an admission of baffling incompetence.

Some people even think that adding things like “don’t hallucinate” and “write clean code” to their prompt will make sure their AI only gives the highest quality output.

Arthur C. Clarke was not wrong but he didn't go far enough. Even laughably inadequate technology is apparently indistinguishable from magic.

The YouTube owner explains that normal non-skippable in-stream ads are limited to just 15 seconds in length.

This is bullshit. I don't use an ad-blocker and often get a full minute of ad. And an extra minute if I happen to pause the stream for like 30 seconds and come back to it.
