My four year old low-end test device running Android had its assistant switched out from Google Assistant to Gemini. I was very surprised since I’d assumed that the vendor had stopped supporting it since it was so cheap, but it updated anyway.

Why are you being downvoted for this? In stock devices the user has no way to even start looking at what is being run. All you can do is trust the manufacturer.

I’ve failed at getting into any Battle Royale, Survival, or Extraction type game so far.

As part of the industrialized lifestyles, could it be the consumption of industrialized foods? Our bodies likely cannot deal with the externalities of industrial farming. Ultraprocessed foods such as industrially refined oils are entirely novel.

It doesn’t seem like such a stretch that human bodies then respond with inflammation to try to remove the unfamiliar, to me.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted for providing good advice about avoiding media bias.

Everyone who lives here plays video games all day and our healthcare isn’t even completely free, the burden is just shared by nationalization. Video games are such a menace to society!

Can’t pick just one so here’re a couple.

“Crypto” used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. “AI”, referring only to LLMs. “Research”, referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase “do your own research” that’s being bandied around in some communities.

VPNs are already illegal in China!

Stellar Blade is a good game.

Also worth mentioning that I learned from this video that Shift Up removed the Playstation region lock that caused the Helldivers 2 controversy universally, so they get kudos from me.

DirectStorage is not good on Linux, at least for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Some anti cheat work better than others, and it depends on how much you’d like to play the game that needs it. Plenty of games without.

EAC does not hide its process and you can see it running. If it’s not, perhaps it has left files behind, but that’s a Windows issue more than EAC’s.

there’s no way for users to reliably remove it

I’m not sure if this is true for the ones backed by the larger companies, like EAC. It’s possible to completely remove EAC using their installer.

Games like valorant are filled with cheaters despite using kernel anticheat

In my experience, this is untrue. Valorant isn’t “filled” with cheaters in the same way Apex Legends is.

Lots of other games to play.

LLMs are not Large Medical Expert Systems. They are Large Language Models, and are evaluated on how convincing their output is, instead of how accurate or useful it is.

Since I reckon casinos don’t have explicitly super evil psychological manipulation r&d departments, was this lighting something that they arrived at by observing the behaviour of the people that visit casinos?

Coca-cola definitely advertises, famously Santa Claus, but did you also know they do more subversive things like trying to shift the blame for obesity onto the victims?

The company is J&T Express.

if latency were eliminated

I’m sure we’d all switch to room temperature fusion for power if we could, too, or use superconductors in our electronics.

I love my Vader 3

If you’re writing a novel simulation for a non-trivial system, it might be best to learn to code so you can identify any issues in the simulation later. It’s likely that LLMs do not have the information required to generate good code for this context.
