It’s reportedly been running for seven years, so I suppose I just assumed that they didn’t want to pay to maintain the online service for all eternity.
The other reply’s probably also got a good point in terms of actual staff doing support for it, too.
The article links to a previous article about the online service for the free to play version shutting down. It looks like the Complete edition is an offline version where all the content will be available through gameplay without microtransactions, where the events will rotate every 4 years. HTH
Honestly, as long as the collision lets you walk over it smoothly without getting caught in the gap between the terrain and the object, I think this is fine. Having it flush or overlapping would probably lead to z-fighting or other weird collision bugs.
If it is really possible to reliably train oneself to lucid dream, that’s probably as far as it should go… Beyond there lies madness
If they were any more inbred, they’d be a sandwich.
if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.
Was that supposed to speak to some part of my comment…?
It seems like a complete non sequitur to me.
I am WAY too unqualified to understand any of the technical stuff, so I’ll be waiting to hear thoughts from experts on this one. It looks like if there are no major flaws in it this is a great thing for the platform overall.
I am a bit out of the loop in terms of RDBMS history, what do you mean by MySQL refugees?
If functionality exists in the client app, there’s nothing to be done to stop someone from bypassing checks.
Looking into it further this looks like it’s an API between the backend of a service and Google though. That would be difficult to defeat, but you could probably spoof the identity of the requesting device with enough effort
It’s not like dedicated people aren’t going to be able to just patch out the calls to this API from the apps themselves…
This feels like yet another attempt at DRM that is doing more harm than help.
Damn, you’re living in the future. I’m still stuck using three shells.
Well today I learned, thanks for the correction.
They’re pretty reasonable for consensus-based programming prompts as well like “Compare and contrast popular libraries for {use case} in {language}” or “I want to achieve {goal/feature} in {summary of project technologies}, what are some ways I could structure this?”
Of course you still shouldn’t treat any of the output as factual without verifying it. But at least in the former case, I’ve found it more useful than traditional search engines to generate leads to look into, even if I discard some or all of the specific information it asserts
Edit: Which is largely due to traditional search engines getting worse and worse in recent years, sadly
The “P” is for predictive, not pre-trained. Generative Predictive Text
Edit: Nope I was wrong.
This is the best article I’ve seen yet on the topic. It does mention the “how” in brief, but this analogy really explains the “why” Gonna bookmark this in case I ever need to try to save another friend or family member from drinking the Flavor-Aid
As long as it has good writing… and maybe they turn down the crudity a touch… I think it has the potential to be well-received.
There are some very big claims in that post. If half that stuff turns out to be true it might be the end for Telegram.
So sorry you’re going through it. Hoping you can find the strength to polish up your resume and spend some time on your days off looking for a better place to work. The best time to be looking for a job is when you already have one.
Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.
No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I’d seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.
