Godot is also getting really good


Yeah, my immediate thought is "wow, that really shows the dangers of depending on a proprietary platform; maybe people will start going FOSS to escape". Because honestly, using a proprietary platform is an understandable move if it's useful and you think it won't do a rugpull, but a major vendor deciding to do exactly that feels like it shifts the analysis.

But I'm not a game dev, so take this with a whole helping of salt grains.


What's the chances of Unity blowing them out of the water with lawsuits (patents, whatever)?


what's lacking about Godot C# support?


You can't build to mobile on 4.x version, only desktop supported.


fwiw Google did the same trick with their servers


Likewise Nvidia...buried in supplemental CFO commentary[1] circa FY23 Q4:

> Starting in fiscal 2024, we are extending the useful lives of a majority of our servers, storage, and network equipment from three years to a range of four to five years, and assembly and test equipment from five to seven years. As a result, we expect favorable impact to operating income of approximately $26 million in the first quarter and $133 million in fiscal 2024 from a reduction in depreciation expense based on equipment balances as of January 29, 2023. The favorable impact will be primarily in operating expense, and to a lesser extent in cost of goods sold.

monte carlo or some kind of ant colony simulation probably



I think it's still significantly behind GPT 3.5/4, both of which can get 67% on HumanEval, and 88% with Reflexion


Keep in mind that StarCoder(Base) is just a pretrained LM. The extra stuff that makes 3.5/4 like RLHF gets built on this.


Aren't GPT-3 etc base LM and ChatGPT the instruction tuned? Or am I wrong?


code-davinci-002 is a base LM, and the other 3.5 models (text-davinci-{002,003}, gpt-3.5-turbo, and ChatGPT) use instruction tuning and/or RLHF. Source: https://platform.openai.com/docs/model-index-for-researchers


OOOH I've got one - I made a short script that lets me play any video on any site at arbitrary speed (speed controlled by arrow keys).

//@ts-check window.kVideoSpeed = 1; window.initialVolume = 1;

NUMPAD_3 = "99" NUMPAD_2 = "98" NUMPAD_6 = "102" NUMPAD_5 = "101"

UP_ARROW = "38" DOWN_ARROW = "40"

let timeoutId = null; document.onkeydown = (e) => { if (!document.querySelectorAll("video").length) { // no-op for pages with no videos return; } window.initialVolume = document.querySelector('video')?.volume || 1

    let myDiv = getOrMakeDiv();
    e = e || window.event;
    let KEYCODE = e.keyCode;

    // NOTE: can't use left/right b/c those go forward/back 10s on some sites
    if ((KEYCODE == UP_ARROW || KEYCODE == NUMPAD_6) && window.kVideoSpeed < 4) {
        // up arrow
        window.kVideoSpeed += 0.5;
        myDiv.textContent = window.kVideoSpeed;
    } else if ((KEYCODE == DOWN_ARROW || KEYCODE == NUMPAD_5) && window.kVideoSpeed > 1) {
        // down arrow
        window.kVideoSpeed -= 0.5;
        myDiv.textContent = window.kVideoSpeed;
    }
    for (let el of document.querySelectorAll("video")) {
        el.playbackRate = window.kVideoSpeed;

        // prevent volume from changing
        setTimeout(() => {
            el.volume = window.initialVolume
        }, 100)
    }
    if (timeoutId) {
        clearTimeout(timeoutId);
    }
    // set timeout to remove div
    timeoutId = setTimeout(() => { myDiv.remove() }, 1000);
}; function getOrMakeDiv() { if (!document.getElementById("myDiv")) {

        let div = document.createElement("div");
        div.id = "myDiv";
        // add styles to div
        div.style.padding = "8px";
        div.style.textAlign = "center";
        div.style.fontSize = "16px";
        div.style.position = "fixed";
        div.style.fontWeight = "600";
        div.style.border = "1px solid yellow";
        div.style.color = "white";
        div.style.backgroundColor = "black";
        div.style.zIndex = "999999";
        // insert div at the top of the body
        if (document.fullscreenElement) {
            document.fullscreenElement.prepend(div, document.fullscreenElement.firstChild)
        }
        else {
            document.body.insertBefore(div, document.body.firstChild);
        }
    }
    return document.getElementById("myDiv");
}


Yep this is what most data structures and algo questions optimize for.

Yep, anything that old is ancient in the AI world


Singularity when? Plot twist:..


Singularity will happen when we have real quantum computing then we wont know if the Ai is alive or not or both.


I don't think that's how that works


This isn't true, many open source companies make money in ways that don't diminish the core open source product, Kafka/ElasticSearch/MongoDB/Supabase/Vercel/Grafana/Red Hat/etc


Most of them have the core features put behind an enterprise license.


Correct
