How do you judge what is a good or bad thing to learn from a LLM? So you don't have to unlearn the bad bits later

Yeah pretty sure this will be reversed as soon as certain someone acquires a hefty amount of pre IPO shares

Is this even a thing? Never assumed you'd ever want to dehydrate like this on purpose. Just why?

I agree and that's why I'm happy not all studios not going this route. It usually means they game will be unique above average because one of the reasons would be needing the engine to work for something else than a "typical game template".

I've read somewhere they had several attempts until they could comfortably support the scale of the game, so maybe it was just rebuilding some major parts

There are many studios with their own engines that rival or exceed UE5 - which seems overhyped, because at this point they caught up with graphics fidelity without terrible performance that dread a lot of UE5 titles.

Recent notable example is Crimson Desert, they spent years building their own engine for this game and IMO they raised the bar when it comes to creating a huge realistic world.

Others that come to my mind are Decima and RE Engine.

This is one of the most sane takes on shipping code using AI where it's being actively reviewed and it respects your colleagues' time and attention. I like it.

What's the best option for converting house blueprints or 3D rendered images back to models?

About every soulslike has to have this one anxiety-inducing platforming section. I saw a lot of players complain about this particular part but IMO it's wasn't the most frustrating one:D

It's getting better year by year but I suspect it'll take another decade before we'll have acceptable air quality during the heating season. During earmer seasons it's fine tho.

The pain point was desoldering the old analog, I found a lot of other people online struggle with this particular part.

It's probably way easier if you have proper soldering setup at home, which won't be true for average person just expecting an easy fix. I understand how it can be quick and simple for someone with more experience

yes, you can replace them with hall effect analogs, as they should be right out of the factory

The game's way darker still but it doesn't feel overdone. You can tell a lot of soul was poured into it. Nice to know that it all somehow traces back to its source

I remember hearing about "Pinnocchio soulslike" and just couldn't imagine how that'd work. Now it's one of my favourites - especially with the expansion.

Compare it to Sony who still put potentiometers in their controllers. Good luck desoldering and replacing that once analogs inevitably start to drift. It's super easy to damage something else in the process as I learned.

Once these coins as much as budge, price will crater before the transaction has enough confirmations to settle the deposit on any exchange with enough liquidity. Any second on exchange and the hacker is exposed to having his account frozen.

Nobody would buy OTC as they're tainted and it would be basically throwing away their money for something that is traceable and everyone is watching and reacting to further moves

Then the blockchain could be effectively forked to before the attack, invalidating the heist

I find it increasingly ironic that the company that wants you to think software engineering as a profession is doomed, seems to be speedrunning tech fuckups bucket list, most likely using their own product, to achieve this very goal
