Sorry to hear that. I hope you get to sleep next to your wife and dogs soon.

What is a sea change? Never heard this anachronism/phrase put this way

Did they mean to say a Sea of Change? The source article also says it this way.

I mean the game came out in 2012. It's not really that absurd to base ones licensing contracts for 14 years when the medium (games) generate the vast majority of their revenue in the first months.

Most digital products have an end of life. I agree that the whole digital ownership part isn't fair, but I don't think a 14 year selling window due to licensing is the part to be mad at.

Smells a lot like "Funding secured" or any of the other insane promises he's made.

There's the hyper loop, the cyber truck missing deadlines and quality concerns and range lies, all of the Tesla delays, etc

That said they did FDA approval for human trials last May https://www.reuters.com/science/elon-musks-neuralink-gets-us-fda-approval-human-clinical-study-brain-implants-2023-05-25/

I think you are misinterpreting the arrows. Pixel dungeon is the original game with SPD being the preferred fork

The arrows aren't PD > (greater than) SPD

But rather PD -> (turned into) SPD

No. I want the freedom of changing my house to my exact liking and renting doesn't allow for that. Furthermore if I'm renting, then I'm paying for someone else's speculative property.

That's kind of hilarious since 20 years ago, western gamers were rejecting games for being "too anime."

Today too! I'm still not really interested in the anime art style. I'm glad the enjoyers do have lots to choose from though.

Neat to see, but I don't buy it yet. I think their assumptions are reasonable but without verifying the training data or working directly with these LLM firms on these studies, I don't see how they can claim it's producing novel non-trained output.

Regardless, it's a step in the right direction for us better understanding the seemingly black box we created.

Rae Drummond has a reported net worth of approx $65m as of last year.

The top 1% of United States net worth starts at $12m. She is just inside the top 0.1% of us net worth which starts at $62m.

It's not really any better than Google on the "supporting large companies" front, but I've found OneDrive to be plenty sufficient for the Google photos use case. It isn't as slick, I'll admit, but I'm still happy with it as a replacement for big G products.
