But that assumes that the (live service) game loses value after the company stops supporting it
Well yeah. Obviously the game losses value BECAUSE it’s not being supported anymore. There’s no value in a paperweight.

My understanding is that this would force games to be sold as either a good (lasts forever) or a service (lasts a specific, advertized amount of time). It does not prevent service games from existing, it just stops them being sold as goods with an unspecified expiration date. The problem is consumers are uninformed about the lifetime of the game they are purchasing.
I hope this customer is being charged for these orphaned systems. They’ll care more if it’s costing them money.
Dang, I kind of want one of those glass dragons. That sounds awesome
That’s kinda fucked up. Almost sounds like laws targeting homeless people living out of their cars. And for anyone else, why shouldn’t I be able to just tour around and look at sights without necessarily stopping anywhere? That’s basically what I do every weekend for fun.
Just useful enough to become incredibly dangerous to anyone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Isn’t it great?
If you remember what battery powertools were like in early 2010s, it’s super obvious how far we’ve come. The higher end things like battery powered lawn mowers didn’t exist, and if you wanted real power, you needed a cord.
This graph actually shows a little more about what’s happening with the randomness or “temperature” of the LLM.
It’s actually predicting the probability of every word (token) it knows of coming next, all at once.
The temperature then says how random it should be when picking from that list of probable next words. A temperature of 0 means it always picks the most likely next word, which in this case ends up being 42.
As the temperature increases, it gets more random (but you can see it still isn’t a perfect random distribution with a higher temperature value)
I’ve chatted with a few experienced web devs, and from what I’ve heard, there’s a whole group of “web programmers” out there that just learn React and other fameworks, but don’t actually know how to code anything themselves. So many places won’t even consider you if you don’t know React.
And here I am still thinking jQuery is an excessive amount of page bloat.
I’ve had my server behind Cloudflare this entire time. Should I not be doing that? At a minimum I need something to hide my server’s real IP.
My parents’ plasma TV (probably one of the last working ones in existence) has had HD overscan cutting off the edges of the picture for as long as I can remember. Once they started using a laptop as a media PC, they had to increase the height of the start menu to see it. Just this week I found the setting to fix it burried deep in the TV menus.
They’ve been effectively watching 720p scaled up to 1080p this entire time…
Seems like pretty flimsy evidence if all we have to go off of is an AI that only gets it right 80% of the time… I highly doubt you could show the 2 fingerprints to anyone else to verify visually, and we’re just supposed to trust it?
That all depends on what they’re optimizing for. Underfilling is more profitable, but runs the risk of customer complaints and regulators stepping in.
As a timid tall person, this comment hit me in the feels. I don’t like being intimidating, but there’s not much I can do about it. And so many people comment about my height like it’s a great thing, but sometimes I just want to be small.
Something to add, since I colocate my own hardware in a datacenter: Just the cost of operating a server is non-trivial too. I pay $120/month for just 2U, 1gbps networking, and power usage (600W peak usage), providing my own hardware. Things get a lot cheaper if you can rent a whole rack space though. It’s absolutely been worth it though, because to rent a similar specced server, it could easily be $1k/month.
I remember going to restaurants as a kid and being asked if we wanted the smoking or non-smoking section. It seems kind of surreal these days that this was ever a thing. I’m probably the last generation to remember indoor smoking.
It’s the Home/End keys on US keyboard layouts. I use them all the time when coding.
As covered by my quote, the neighboring mainland glaciers melting would raise water levels by 3 more meters (3.6m total). You’re still off by a factor of 20x
Thwaites melting would raise water levels by 0.6 meters, not 60 meters. You’re off by a factor of 100x
I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just stating that a broken unplayable game objectively has no value. The publisher has forced that value to 0 if they turn off their servers without support, regardless of if there was any value there before or not.
Edit: I realize we might be talking about different things when saying “stop supporting”. I meant that to mean when the servers are turned off, not when they stop releasing updates or delist it from stores.
