The author is more pointing out that these games don't look realistic. Look at the foreground of the HZD shot - why is it almost black in daylight?

I assume stuff like this is why some languages or script can never be deciphered

Well there will always be an audience that wants to hear what humans can mechanically pull off

Also chiming in to say you're wrong, I mean they're correct

I just think it looks ugly, and I don't want to create a product that I don't personally like. Totally open to accessibility and using existing frameworks but not Material.

Damn you're worked up. Some of my gripes with Windows come down to peripherals, where I'll spend a lot of time troubleshooting why my bluetooth device or speakers or mic don't work. There also seems to be no way to bypass using a password or PIN on startup without changing the registry. I'd like my computer to just stay on at all times so I can remotely connect to it, but what do you know, a forced update caused it to restart, and because it requires a passeord to get to the desktop I have no way of getting Parsec to connect. Yeah I tried to disable automatic updates but nothing seems to stick. Why is the mic on my PS5 controller connecting and disconnecting ten times a second. Ok let me just try to unpair the controller, oh it just... won't unpair.

Source on hallucination rates falling?

I use LLMs 20-30 times a day and while it feels invaluable for personal use where I can interpret the responses at my own discretion, they still hallucinate enough and have enough lapses in logic where I would never feel confident incorporating them into some critical system.

I don't understand why automated applications is unethical. If most companies won't spend the time to manually look at each application, why expect applicants to manually apply to every company. I don't even use services like those but I think the current system is flawed for today's job market so it's hard to even say what is ethical right now.

So wouldn't an aggregate, like an LLM, be the best tool here?

The browser thing is meant for security and privacy, why do you think they allow alternatives to all their other default apps expect for browsers?

But more than that, why are your arbitrary expectations any more important than their arbitrary requirements?

Significantly better audio quality and better features like inpainting. Saying this as a previously hardcore Suno user.

No it's not the same thing, the link for this submission even explains that. Anyone who comments should at least give the submission a cursory read.

You could do a reward system, like for every 1X educational content watched they get to watch 2X of the fun stuff
