A shower thought about the original experiment:

It may have only measured how effective “waiting for future gains” was, as a strategy, for each child, in their circumstance.

So the real discovery may be only that the children already had a pretty good idea how promising their own futures were. :(

That’s hilarious… And might be how this Arcade signage got like it is.

But will you join us on our quest for the Holy Grail?!

And I’m pissed that you got to this comment first!

Damn. Mic drop. Very nice.

But will it fuck up my formatting when I add an image?

Relax. Language isn’t going to change overnight.

“AI” can have different meanings to different people in different contexts. That’s how words work.

The important things we can agree on is that AI scientists are doing interesting and dangerous work, and tech bro snake oil salesmen suck.

You’re confusing AI and AGI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

While this can be a valuable clarification, it ignores the plain use history of the term AI, and demands that language change for our convenience.

Laypeople have always used “AI” to mean what scientists call “AGI”.

Language is weird, and tech bros suck.

Wow. Sometimes data breaches come from the companies we most expect them from.

If I told myself five years ago about this, I bet they would nod slightly in total lack of surprise.

And maybe they figure EU leaders aren’t smart enough to ask for reproducible builds.

…or if any part of the data processing happens on US soil…

I wonder if the price increase will be spent on making a chart that tells me which XBox is which?

I don’t know exactly when I got old, but I feel angry every time Xbox reminds me that I’m too old to know which is which.

I don’t get it, what does “a temporarily embarrassed founder” mean?

It’s a combination of “temporarily embarrassed future billionaire” with the (mostly mythical) “garage software business founder”.

Many software programmers (including me) spent the first decade of our careers sure we would produce a world-shaking program in our garage, and then found a company to scale it to the world.

“I fight for the user” has been lurking in the hindbrains of so many tech workers since the Tron years, somehow nestling comfortably alongside of the idea that “I don’t need a union, I’m a temporarily embarrassed founder.”

Oof. I don’t like this sentence, because I’m in it.

Are least it’s evidence that worry they might need to need to influence anther election.

Silver lining…?

I wanted to fact check this, but I guess Meta doesn’t have a tool for that, anymore. I’ll have to accept it at face value.

As a developer, we use AI “extensively” because it’s currently practically free and we rarely say no to free stuff.

It is, indeed, slightly better than last year’s autocomplete.

AI is also amazing at letting non-developers accomplish routine stuff that isn’t particularly interesting.

If someone is trying to avoid paying for one afternoon of my time, an AI subscription and months of trial and error are a new option for them. So I guess that’s pretty neat.

Can people see what groups you subscribe to on Lemmy?

Other users can see which groups we comment on.

I haven’t run an instance, but I imagine admins of our home instances can see what groups we are subscribed to.

But probably Windows will disable the possibillity to manipulate on kernel level either in the future.

Sort of, right?

We know Windows will continue cracking down on kernel module adds, since the Crowd strike disaster.

But I figure most anti-cheat will just shift to non-kernel and keep working.

Of course, at that point most anti-cheat of will then work under Proton, on Linux, too.

Which was maybe your point.

Okay, I don’t think I added anything for you, but I’ll leave this in case it helps someone reading along with us.

Nice!

SteamOS getting an official PC release (if/when) is going to cause the first time I’ve spent a lot on PC hardware in a long while.

I’ll build it from parts of I must, but I really hope they go for a tie-in deal with Alienware or System76 and just let me buy a big pre-installed tower to play on.
