Fully agree. I supplement my game development with AI. Anything novel or interesting I want to do, I need to write the code for myself, otherwise I'm in for a world of hurt. But for the drudgery work that is necessary to invest a lot of time in but boring to actually write, I design a clear architecture and ask AI to do the implementation leg-work. And still you have to go back over and make sure it didn't decide to just create something outlandish. A good recent example is Codex trying to recreate from scratch the behaviour already provided by Area2D in a game I'm making with Godot.

If you try and get AI to do anything meaningful, it will be riddled with footguns and bizarre choices. Maybe if you have hundreds of dollars worth of tokens that might not be the case - but for someone who spends $10 a month, it's just not worth the headache.

Besides, for me these are hobby projects and writing code is still fun, I just make AI write the boring parts (good examples: saving and loading, parsing of data files and settings menu functionality) - but I keep it away from anything that needs a humans judgement to create.

> I honestly dont understand what people are expecting here.

An investigation...?

How do we know you're actually running the code and it's not just the LLM spitting out what it thinks it would return if you were running code on it?

Does anyone have more context for the name-calling and poor communication from the Fedora team? Seems like pretty poor behaviour from them if true

I think given the sheer amount of them that is demonstrably false

> The population, which was around 900 after World War II, dropped to 13 in 2017. At the same time, the number of cats was in the hundreds. Aging residents felt there were too many of them and not enough people to look after them. The Aoshima Cat Protection Society, therefore, recommended that every cat on the island be spayed or neutered in order to gradually reduce the population. The sterilizations took place in 2018.

Is there anybody local that wants the cats to stay? Sounds to me like the program is working as intended. Sure tourists love it, but if there's nobody local to look after the animals welfare, it should end the way it's been planned it seems to me.

> I'm curious to know if "newly discovered" species existed 20 years ago and were actually just discovered,

That's exactly it, these wasps existed previously and were just discovered to be distinct from other wasps. Speciation tends to take a very long time (on the order of hundreds of thousands to millions of years) or much shorter if there's a strong enough pressure (e.g. something drastically alters an ecosystem and opens up a lot of new niches for a species to radiate into) but still on the order of tens of thousands of years, see [1] for a great example. This of course depends on generation time (evolution only happens to populations, not individuals), so we see quite rapid evolution in things with short generation times like bacteria.

For invetebrates like small wasps like this one, it's typically taking the time to sit down and actually identifying them, some species are quite cryptic and it's only obscure or small morphological features that can be used to separate them by eye, and requires genetic analysis to compare and confirm that it's a new species.

> Examining old hosts that have died and been preserved and seeing if the 'new species' exists there maybe?

I have an entomologist friend and yes, that does happen. There are probably countless new species that have specimens in museums and universities right now that just haven't been properly analysed

> How did he know that the film of oil was one molecule thick?

He didn't. It was an assumption

Very skeptical. I would also like more detail in the article, what was the DNA collected from? Hair? Saliva? How was it stored, collected and tested? Who sent it in? This website has a bit of detail around what can be tested: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/research/archaeobotany...

The immune system does this all the time. They're called natural killer cells (NK Cells) and they regularly target cells that have become cancerous or infected.

Calling the GPL a restrictive license is a bit like saying you can't cut down the trees in a public park and sell the wood is restrictive.

They have 1 from what I could see, Gamblify, what are the others?

Wow I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it is. Charging per download and install and removing the cheaper tiers is ridiculous. Good news for any griefers out there who feel like making a particular game developer lose money, just download and install the game a handful of times. What a terrible decision by Unity, shame for all the developers who have spent years and years learning a powerful tool run by complete sociopaths

Yes in hindsight it's obvious the tank is non-harmful, but when it was a complete mystery it's important to do due diligence to ensure it is safe.

Really? You don't sympathise with people getting murdered by Nazi's whilst defending their homeland because of the actions of a colonial government? If you drew a venn diagram of the people fighting against the Nazi's and the people committing colonial atrocities there wouldn't be a great deal of overlap save the exiled government and the churches. Most of the resistance were communists and other anti-fascist groups, hardly banner waving imperialists.

> The Oxford comma can prevent ambiguity in complex sentence lists. For example, use the Oxford comma before the last item if you’re using a defining phrase applicable only to that final item.

> A defining phrase is essential to the meaning of the sentence. The following examples show how the Oxford comma can affect meaning, using the defining phrase ‘for stockfeed’.

Seems like it provides a clear cut framework for when to use it?

It's not science, it's speculation from someone with experience in the field. I don't think this was sold as a scientific conclusion

Such a shame, I've used reddit for over a decade and enjoyed it for the most part. There's a lot of value in the communities and discussions on reddit, but I think the writings on the wall for this one. Hopefully someone can build something that captures the reddit experience and pulls in the communities

https://old.reddit.com/user/spez can read through his responses here and check the context of the question, he hasn't answered all that many

You'd still be able to see that he's replied in the thread though, it'll just be collapsed but still there

> That’s technically true of most domain names. Bing would be more accurately named “bingsearchengine.com”, Apple would be “applecomputers.com”, etc.

I don't think that really holds true. Native is an association with a specific location, if you don't have the location in there it means basically nothing when exposed to a global audience. It's certainly true that if this was only exposed to US audiences (as it clearly is when shown in person as has been your experience) that it wouldn't be of any use to include a more specific location in there, but the web is global

Would the site not be better named usanativeseeds.org? nativeseeds.org without referring to a specific nation means basically nothing

>I'm a little confused that people think they are free to use the software of their choice and that there is some built in right to use the software of your preference on a given hardware

I'm a little confused as to how you're confused? I bought it, I should be free to set up whatever software I please with it. It's mine.

This is terrifying

Does this thing actually exist or is it just a pretty website?

Why would there be a bunch of tardigrades sitting on the probe? Unless they walk out to their nearest moss pile and smear it all over I think the chances are remarkably, incredibly slim.

You know they go to every length to sterilize the probe before launch?

Algebra: Boolean and general. Everything else is domain specific.

> I wish there was software that reads an article and spits out a tl;Dr. I don't have patience to read a narrative, give me the info

It's really not that long and if you're genuinely interested you make an effort to read it. Not everything can be boiled simply down to a handful of sentences without losing key detail.

> 80% of Australian languages are from Indian-derived language families and developed from around the time of the Dingo introduction (only 4000 years ago)

Source? Australia has been continuously populated by Aboriginal people for 60,000+ years, with over 260 languages I find that claim incredibly hard to believe.
