In all seriousness though, congrats, you're already a lot further than most people ever get. I approve of this trend to reduce bundle size as much as possible that we've been moving towards.
My completely unqualified position is that manjaro is not more stable than arch, in fact, according to the news manjaro's changes are just more instability. I've been running basic arch & KDE for 6 months now and it hasn't been perfect. The biggest issue I've had so far is; "using the scroll wheel in the KDE start menu will crash the DE" and that was fixed in a day.
I had a fun one this week! I needed to make an SQL query that would aggregate rows by invoice and date, but only aggregate 5 then overflow to a new row. I also needed to access the individual row data because the invoice items weren't summed, they were displayed on separate columns!
I ask my senior if there's an easy way to do this, he comes back with "chatgpt says you can assign row numbers then get individual row data with % row number"
I go to Gemini and ask "how to aggregate rows by 5 and get individual row data out?" It says "you can't" (since when has Ai's been able to say you can't do X) So I ask it about the modulo operator and it gives me an example that doesn't really work. After screwing around for a while I give up and decide I'll just run this query 3 times. 1 for rows 1-5 then for 6-10 and one more for 11-15 that's so many rows surely no one will break this.
FYI Android is not about to become closed source. Google has their own internal dev branch and the publicly available main AOSP branch, this is already known. What they're doing is simplifying their release process so that rather than having two "main" branches AOSP will be downstream from their dev branch.
IMO, it's pretty good. I've really only got two criticisms. I don't like the active component of combat in my turn based games, but that's pretty minor. My bigger gripe is that I think the last act of the story sucks.
I was so strong at this point that boss mechanics were purely optional to me, I was capable of one shotting everything.
Also a lot of the human characters do things that made me dislike them in the final act.
I remember being taught phonics in primary school in the 2000's, and I went to a public school so I don't understand why we think this is revolutionary either. Maybe it's just new in VIC? I'm from QLD
It's funny, to me I've had an llm give me the wrong answer to questions every time.
The first time I couldn't remember how to read a file as a string in python and it got me most of the way there. But I trusted the answer thinking "yeah, that looks right" but it was wrong, I just got the io class I didn't call the read() function.
The other time it was an out of date answer. I asked it how to do a thing in bevy and it gave me an answer that was deprecated. I can sort of understand that though, bevy is new and not amazingly documented.
On a different note, my senior who is all PHP, no python, no bash, has used LLM's to help him write python and bash. It's not the best code, I've had to do optimisations on his bash code to make it run on CI without taking 25 minutes, but it's definitely been useful to him with python and bash, he was hired as a PHP dev.
In my local currency (Aussie Dollars) AAA games cost $120. Like, man, I'm not spending $120 on a game. I can't remember the last time I bought a game at that price.
I don't think I've ever seen someone say that upscaling OPTIONS are bad but I'm worried about games like monster hunter where upscaling and frame gen is used to make the game playable in most cases.
Didn't even know this existed lol, crazy how decentralised the game industry has become now that e3 is gone. There's no official "time to announce your games" part of the year anymore.
I hate to be all doom and gloom but if the government decided tomorrow that disagreeing with trump was a crime then it's probably already too late for you.
The amount of information about people online is pretty shocking and no amount of cleaning up after yourself could save you at this point.
On the other hand, it probably won't devolve that fast so you're probably ok?
I agree with you, it was more of a commentary on "what would happen if we had AGI tomorrow".
We've been 3 months away from AGI for a few years now and it's debatable if we'll ever get there with LLM's. Looking into the results of AI tests and benchmarks show that they are heavily gamed (tbf, all benchmarks are gamed.) With AI though, there's so much money involved, it's ridiculous.
Fortunately it looks like reality is slowly coming back. Microsoft's CEO said that something like "AI solutions are not addressing customer problems." Maybe I'm in a bubble but I feel like overall, people are starting to cool on AI and the constant hype cycle.
I'd agree that in the short term, AI is overhyped and in the long term, who really knows.
One thing I've always found funny though is that if we have AI's that can replace programmers then don't we also, by definition, have AI's that can create AI's? Isn't that literally the start of the "singularity", where every office worker is out of a job in a week and labourers only lasting long enough for our AI overlords to sort out robot bodies?
I've thought about this before, I think it's because the devs/publishers want to have their cake and eat it. They release a new game every year at full price for that up front cash then they nickle and dime you all year and then reset with a new full price game.
I'm pretty sure the amount of money EA makes from FIFA or Activision makes from COD would go down dramatically if they just had a single live service game.
A new JS framework! Time to reset the clock!
In all seriousness though, congrats, you're already a lot further than most people ever get. I approve of this trend to reduce bundle size as much as possible that we've been moving towards.
