I mean, yes, technically you build and run AI models using code. The point is there is no code defining the game logic or graphical rendering. It’s all statistical predictions of what should happen next in a game of doom by a neural network. The entirety of the game itself is learned weights within the model. Nobody coded any part of the actual game. No code was generated to run the game. It’s entirely represented within the model.

The bars were originally 5 compared to 9 ingredients in a Hersheys bar. They’ve since expanded and now both have 9 from what I’ve heard

They won’t be well if they watch him. One of his main money makers is dishonest and probably illegal lotteries where he suggests almost everyone who buys something from him will get some kind of big prize. In reality, the odds are like 1 in 60000, and the requirement of a purchase for a chance to get the prize is probably illegal.

He also sells chocolate and cookies as “healthy” using similar underhanded promises of rewards. He also runs contests and game shows that are staged and rigged which, again, is illegal on broadcast TV.

You’re setting ‘nam’ to whatever the output of the function called ‘input’ is. The string asking who are you is an argument to the ‘input’ function. What that function does happens to be that it prints its argument out to the console, waits for the user to enter text, and returns whatever text was entered as its output. I would recommend actually trying out the code and playing around with it if you want to understand it better.

The other two functions you mentioned work similarly. The output of the function named ‘int’ is a new integer. Usually you will give it a number as an argument to set the value of that integer.

This is exactly the messaging of the oil companies and others who oppose climate action now that it’s too hard to deny. They want us to think it’s hopeless and give up trying to change anything. It’s not too late. Green energy is growing exponentially and has been possibly the fastest technological adoption in history. Millions of people are working on the science and technology to solve these problems. We just need some more collective action at the local and national levels. Carbon taxes, funding for green initiatives, local agriculture, and support for alternative transportation like e-bikes or other PEVs to start

All the management staff at Nijisanji. They’re hiring minimum wage, fresh out of school kids for legal work, project management, translation, talent management… Needless to say, it’s apparently hell for the talents

I’m not really sure it was just semantics. He was technically correct the light would get some power right away, but the thing everyone would understand when hearing the main assertion, i.e. the light is fully lit and the circuit is in its relatively steady, final state, is very much not true.

The comment above claimed one of two options to comply with GDPR was to block Europeans with no other conditions. Is there additional language in there to mandate that sites that block Europeans cannot collect data about them from other sources as well? If so, the previous comment isn’t accurate

[-] xionzui@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Yes, blocking all of Europe is what I meant. The point is they are collecting the data from Steam, which already has the data legitimately, not from the users directly. One of the two conditions for complying with GDPR according to the comment above was simply blocking Europeans with no other conditions. It sounds like as long as they do that, they can collect and distribute all the data about Europeans they want.

So theoretically they could collect data on Europeans from Steam, block those people from accessing the site, and they would be good?

Like that’s going to stop me

[-] xionzui@sh.itjust.works 23 points 4 months ago

Theoretically, anyway
