i feel like “does he not like bilbo?” can basically sum up gandalf’s actions in the hobbit more generally

yeah, its hard to predict what will happen to it, especially after gabe steps down or dies, but depending on how much of the company is broadly owned by employees vs individuals, it can help to shield it from bad decisions. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact numbers. If gabe + mike own 51+% then it could potentially lead to overriding employee will in a bad decision for money (either through their actions or through inheritance like you say). Or the employees could just collectively make a bad decision too.

AFAIK, most of valve’s stock is held by employees, not private investors. It’s usually a pretty hard sell of “make the company you work at shittier to make more money”, especially since most of the employees probably know gabe personally (valve has less than 400 employees) and likely approve of his leadership.

FWIW, at this point, that study would be horribly outdated. It was done in 2022, which means it probably took place in early 2022 or 2021. The models used for coding have come a long way since then, the study would essentially have to be redone on current models to see if that’s still the case.

The people’s perceptions have probably not changed, but if the code is actually insecure would need to be reassessed

That was changed a while back, the current restrictions are you can only have as many people playing any given game as you have copies in your current sharing library

I guess that would just be a GPU?

Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They’re purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.

You basically just described kanban.

As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.

It’s worth noting that some coursera courses are created and maintained by actually accredited institutions, and some courses qualify as college credit with ACE accreditation. Also, many tech certifications host their courses on coursera too, like microsoft has official azure cert courses on there.

That doesn’t necessarily mean anything for any given random cert, though, because that means that the entire site is a pretty big grab bag in terms of the usefulness of their certs.

Depends on the person. It’s very “old school” in it’s gameplay, and very hard and punishing, grindy, has perma-death, etc.

I’d think most modern gamers would hate it, but I personally like wizardry to games (though it helps that I’m old enough to have played older versions). If you like old school d&d, it’s very much in the same vein. The remake linked here is pretty good, I already own it from early access.

sure, I’m not saying GPT4 is perfect, just that it’s known to be a lot better than 3.5. Kinda why I would be interested to see how much better it actually is.

Worth noting this study was done on gpt 3.5, 4 is leagues better than 3.5. I’d be interested to see how this number has changed

People frequently make demakes with pico-8

“shizzle for rizzle” is snoop dogg slang from the 90’s

Earthbound is eternally on my list of games i play through every couple of years. Its such a great game. Some aspects of it are a tad clunky by modern sensibilities (inventory management, going through the menus for a lot of things, etc.), but overall it holds up really well. Also if you liked earthbound, mother 3 is also 100% worth playing. Mother 1 (or beginnings, or whatever you wanna call it), is hard to recommend to anyone but the most diehard fans, though.

I like earthbound the most of all of em, but thats purely for nostalgia reasons. From a critical perspective, i think mother 3 is the superior game.

MinuteFood on youtube did a video just yesterday talking about the science of cast iron, and why they’re not dirty like many people seem to think.

And it always marks the damn “thank you for contacting Microsoft” post as “the answer”

I agree with the other poster; you should look into proxmox. I migrated from ESXi to proxmox 7-8 years ago or so, and honestly its been WAY better than ESXi. The migration process was pretty easy too, i was able to bring over the images from ESXi and load them directly into proxmox.

I mean, blob (and object storage in general) has been used as a term for a long time. It isn’t particularly new, and MS didn’t invent it.

Yeah, firefox doesnt support H.265 it looks like from some googling. Not exactly sure how other people are getting it to work, but it does look like there’s some extensions for firefox to toss the media streams to VLC instead, that could work for you.

MP4 is just a container, the specific audio/video streams can be one of several different codecs, and if you don’t have the codec used it won’t work. If you can identify the encoding you could probably just download a codec and be good to go.

Edit: for this video the video codec is

Codec: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265) (hvc1)

and audio codec is

Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)
