CD Projekt announced on October 5 that the expansion starring Idris Elba cost a hefty 275 million Polish Zloty (around $62.7 million) to develop and approximately 95 million Polish Zloty (around $21.6 million) to market.
I’m not saying repairing and adding missing functionality isn’t a good size portion of that cost, but calling it a $125 million cost based on the cost of the expansion and marketing which were already planned regardless of how well the initial release did is miss-leading at best.
It’s almost a philosophical question of whether I can replace us though. Because for it to be anything more than a tool it needs real intelligence, compassion, etc. Basically it would need a conscious.
I’m certain it’ll replace some jobs without that, just because being a tool it’ll make us more efficient and that efficiency will eliminate jobs. But I’m not seeing it replace or assimilate entire industries at this stage.
We are nowhere near AI writing our software unattended. Not even close. People really over estimate the state of AI.
I can’t wait to try out part 3 for 2 hours before deciding this still isn’t for me.
I want a good and immersive Jedi game so bad. These games just feel like you’re in an amusement park that’s channelling the game you want but not really trying to deliver it, it’s just a vehicle to get to the next bouncy mushroom or conveniently placed wall jump.
A lot of those problems are true in the US/Canada as well (maybe more so; eg. pension). But unlike the US/Canada you get compensated for lunch and transit. AND you get a huge amount of time off. That alone is already drastically better than what you get in the US/Canada. Sure, if you make big bucks that’s mostly moot, but most people don’t.
When I worked in Belgium not only did they pay for your transit costs, they even paid for your car, phone, and lunch. Granted the car and phone were contingent on you having a use for them for your work, but still.
This was nearly 20 years ago.
Nowadays, when I see news about some new law that’s gonna ruin the web I just have a sad chuckle. That ship has sailed. And they didn’t even need shitty laws to do it.
“Consistent starting pay results in consistent staffing and better customer service while also creating new opportunities for associates to gain new skills from experience across the store and lay the groundwork for their career regardless of where they start,”
Ok miss PR person. Please explain your rationale cause that shit makes no sense.
Yeah that’s fair. I’d say it falls into the same boat as the argument against the CEO; they haven’t done anything clearly malicious, but their bad decisions are enough to give you pause and reconsider.
Go and have a look? https://github.com/brave/brave-browser
Being open-source doesn’t automatically make you secure or reputable. Especially considering the open-source ecosystem in particular is a big target for exploitation right now. And auditing a software project of this size by its source code alone is no small feat.
it is also the most private and secure, open-source, mainstream* Chromium browser
“Mainstream chromium browser” is doing most if not all the heavy lifting there. Fair enough if that’s what you’re after, but mixing “private and secure, open-source” in feels disingenuous.
That said, I primarily use Vivaldi because of its customizability and added features, something Firefox seems to reduce with every new version.
Last time I played with either Vivaldi or Brave you had to literally monkey patch the source code in order to customize things further than what the extension SDK allowed you to. You could do the same thing with Firefox, except they make it slightly harder because much of the source code is shipped in archives.
That said it’s been years, maybe this can now be done purely through the extension SDK? It’d be news to me.
Given their crypto functionality uses a third party which has been found to skirt the legal system I’d be a lot more concerned about this integration even if I don’t intend to use it.
Keep in mind the stuff you read about is only what has been surfaced so far. Who knows what skeletons are still hiding?
Personally, I don’t see any point risking it when there are perfectly viable alternatives such as Firefox. Granted the same guy infected Mozilla, but they stood up and ousted him so credit where credit is due.
You see, when someone is known to make bad choices it makes sense to approach what they do with apprehension. This guy not only has a history of bad choices, he’s also the CEO.
You’re free to do as you like of course, but I’d say it’s hardly fair to say the article is unconvincing.
I reeeaaally wish people would stop drawing a direct line between eating vegan and eating healthy.
Just cause I don’t want to eat animals that doesn’t mean I don’t want to stuff my face with good food.
Most restaurants just throw a salad at you or something.
Even without right on red it’s kinda insane. You can have a green light to turn right while pedestrians have a green light to cross that very same street.
I kinda like the way they compromised in Quebec, where pedestrians just get a green light for the entire intersection and all cars have to wait.
I used to live in Belgium while biking to school in the Netherlands. Aside from the road conditions themselves, it was always very noticeable in terms of safety how much better the Dutch roads were. The second I’d cross the border, I’d go from badly maintained pavement with a roughly drawn on bike path to a dedicated biking road that runs alongside the main road with a ditch and trees in between.
I now live in Canada and while the road conditions here are definitely not as good, the thing I miss even more from Dutch roads is the traffic lights; they’re all connected! You almost never run into a red light twice on the same road in the Netherlands. In Canada (and probably most other places) it seems almost guaranteed that if you hit one red light you’re gonna hit them all…
And don’t get me started on pedestrian traffic lights… :p
In my experience the Belgian roads are much worse, but my experience is hardly definitive…
It is nearly impossible to find good product comparisons these days. Nearly all of them are generated off of Amazon reviews, which are terribly unreliable. I used to just append Reddit to the end of my search but now that isn’t much of an option anymore either…
I wouldn’t be surprised if it is getting worse. It’s not “real” intelligence that “understands” your questions, and unlike more targeted solutions like GitHub copilot they don’t have a strong use-case focus that can guide their progress.
But I think it’s also that people are coming to terms with what ChatGPT actually can and more importantly cannot do. It’s crazy sometimes to hear what the average person thinks the current iteration of AI’s is capable of.
Sure. And whether he was a sacrificial goat here is not for us to know. But let’s not pretend that the CEO had no responsibility.
