Obligatory link to the clip where a TV interview about a dangerous roundabout catches an accident on film. There's English captions.

Yes, roundabouts are good, but there's things to consider.


There's people here devaluing this because "AI probably built this page". To me this is a perfectly valid use of AI; "Hey I got this set of data points, give me a page with these 'extractions'". The page layout is the least interesting part of the page, it's the data points that should be of interest, then again this is where I think the page is lacking.

"1k real browser viewports" (page says 751 data points) tells me it's a quite small sample size to draw the amount of conclusions they draw. Now this is me guessing but I think it might be people actually visiting their site. Probably in the quest for viewport size, this might be why a whopping 6 percent of visitors appear to be visiting with their browser in full screen mode, and almost as many from a device with an 800x600 resolution (I can hear the device owners friend asking "man, what resolution are you running that thing at? Go to this site and check!").

AI report on actual data, not a problem. Low quality data to actually run that report on, now there's your problem.


I managed to watch 14 minutes of the Gamer Nexus video (on my computer) before going into the living room and disconnecting the network cable, OMFG. If there's no legal consequences for LG for this I'll be surprised. I'm in Europe, not counting on the US for this, trust me.

i honestly don’t believe i’m being jaded when i say this: there will be no consequences. in this current moment, companies can treat us however they like.

again, i don’t think that’s hyperbolic or jaded, i think it’s much more based in reality than the opposite.


This is an interesting problem (for mathematicians and a few more of us) and I'm sure Matt Parker will cover this in a video soon and I'll love his explanation.

But for a mechanism to ship in a physical game? Big dice are difficult and expensive. Printing a deck of card that has the number 1 (or 0) to N on it will always be cheaper and has solved the problem for at least N up to 52.


> Barry Marshall's story is so iconic...

More so for him and his collaborator having dinner each year when the Nobel prizes were announced in anticipation of the call from the Nobel Prize Committee. Legends.


It is a specific type of fasting. Saying only "fasting" can mean a lot of things, saying "water fast" means you only drink water.

Fair enough, thanks for sharing


As others have hinted at LLMs aren't really made in a way that makes them likely to play video games (CS/Halo and such) well. I wonder how they'd fare "against" text based adventures like Zork (which they'll no doubt have ample knowledge about) and newer text based adventure games (which they'll know less about).


They aren't good at Zork[1] and neither at newer and/or more obscure text adventures[2].

Nethack has been widely used to test reinforcement learning agents, starting from at least 2020; there was a Nethack challenge at NeurIPS 2021. https://nethackchallenge.com/report.html

For a more recent test, see https://kenforthewin.github.io/blog/posts/nethack-agent/ .


To be honest, Zork at times makes precious little sense: you are supposed to die over and over before you figure stuff out. For instance, you have to grab the endless-light-source treasure very early on, or you mathematically cannot win. And the game does not spell anything out for you, you just have to "get it" by watching closely at how/why you die.

This is a tall order for an LLM: it needs a lot of context but most of the context will be just noise.


Sometimes called "high instructional value".


I had some print or poster on my wall in my childhood bedroom in Stockholm. For sure no original but reproductions were, as I remember it, readily available when I grew up.


My previous work provided laptop had a touchscreen and I miss it (for the record, the screen didn't fold 180). It was useful about once a week and I completely forgot about it the rest of the time.

Two primary use cases. Sitting on the train with the laptop in my actual lap it was often more convenient to reach for the screen instead of the trackpad, especially when I had someone sitting next to me on the right and I didn't want to stab them in their ribcage with my elbow so I could reach the trackpad. Second use case was often scrolling while reading, for some reason (phone-scrolling-indoctrination I guess) it felt natural to scroll using finger on screen.

The screen was never my primary pointing device but it was always an option. I think it was annoying a handful of times during the two years I had it, you point at something on the screen and end up clicking something.
