Yes. And we know Microsoft was drooling over the day when they shut down that server, and everyone’s library stops working 30 days later, allowing Microsoft to re-sell them all the games they previously bought.

For simple math that could work, and as long as the question is close enough to an exact match with plenty of published examples to copy.

A good rule of thumb is that the script it will come up with is about as likely to be correct as blindly taking the highest voted answer to the most similar question on Stack Overflow.

If the question is simple and common, the odds are quite good. If the question is nuanced or rare, the odds of a correct result drop off aggressively.

Edit: Your mileage may vary - providing an API to these LLMs that can do math correctly for them is pretty easy. Getting the LLM to consistently detect when to use that API is more challenging.

You’ve misspelled “Fuck JK Rowling” there, mate.

I’m beginning to suspect we’re allowed to swear here…

Good one. The only worthy reply I can think of:

Certain algorithms do require knowing which way to orient the cube first, so some knowledge of the state of the cube is required.

It think we can all relate to having pre-wedding jitters about how our spouse will feel when they finds out we are secretly just a pile of magically animated mud and sticks.

This made me laugh. Thanks.

This place is going to start booming when creators figure out that our algorithm shows everything they share with everyone who chooses to follow them, every time.

I think we struck on something really unusually not-coded-by-total-assholes, here.

That’s the beauty of the law - no one knows (except everyone with any expertise, who just won’t admit they know.)

They’d be able to find a toilet.

Especially the ones with x-ray vision.

The answer to most ultimatums is no.

Yes! It took me far to long to internalize this.

Ultimatums are never productive, and anyone issuing them is either desperate or an asshole. (Sometimes both.)

This is so true.

Choosing my introverted life partner was the best choice I ever made. Or the best choice they ever made for me…or somewhere in between. But great choice, all around.

Human readable test code.

Now we’re getting somewhere. This explains exactly how much I hoped and dreamed it would.

Art should evoke emotion in the observer. Keep at it. You’re doing it.

P.S. I second the motion that the charred cat carcass should become a recurring character.

I mean, I played Pokemon with my kids. So maybe both?

Now we play Cassette Beasts - and soon Palworld - together.

My boycott pretty naturally applied to my kids.

We were day one buyers for multiple copies of the last Zelda game, and the last couple Pokemon before Nintendo legal went foul.

Now no one in my family has a Switch 2, and my kids are begging me to help them spend their allowance on Palworld.

I bought a shit ton of games from Nintendo until their legal department went rabid.

Untouchable companies do fall, when they manage to alienate diehard fans, such as myself.

Yes. I was a huge purchaser of both Steam games and Nintendo exclusives on Switch (as long as they got great reviews).

Then Nintendo’s legal team went crazy, attacking emulator developers and suing competing game studios over bullshit “patents” on game mechanics.

So it’s time to starve that beast. No more Nintendo games, for me.
