I was guessing at a duel vs dual joke, but civil war makes more sense.

Although they're essentially the same joke in different clothes.

Now I don't know if they ever changed anything since launch. But if you judged the max speed by the first flying saddle you got you didn't actually experience anything close to max speed. Pals that have their saddles unlocked at a higher level (usually) have a much higher speed when mounted.

So is the example with the dogs/wolves and the example in the OP.

As to how hard to resolve, the dog/wolves one might be quite difficult, but for the example in the OP, it wouldn't be hard to feed in all images (during training) with randomly chosen backgrounds to remove the model's ability to draw any conclusions based on background.

However this would probably unearth the next issue. The one where the human graders, who were probably used to create the original training dataset, have their own biases based on race, gender, appearance, etc. This doesn't even necessarily mean that they were racist/sexist/etc, just that they struggle to detect certain emotions in certain groups of people. The model would then replicate those issues.

I find it wild that, to this day, Windows defaults to opening them in a browser. Windows has an image viewer right there.

Can that image viewer extract text so that a user could easily copy/paste it? I think if whatever pdf I was opening didn't allow me to do that I would be really frustrated.

Remember the people who created malicious libraries that ChatGPT made up and suggested, in the hopes someone would blindly install them? You can do this a lot easier here. Check what websites this tends to hallucinate when typing "google" "youtube" "facebook" etc. and if any of them don't exist yet, register that address and host a phishing version of the corresponding site there.

I hope you’re right because this article says they used a spray can.

Which brings me back to the last point in my comment.

I also hope I'm right. The two times I looked into it (right after the attack and before writing my comment) both came up with that result. Also it seems that English Heritage came out today saying there was "No visible damage".

As I said, I'm not writing to defend the action, just pointing out that the OP article is, willfully or not, omitting certain aspects that could make JSO look a little bit better.

Edit: Formatting

but we did damage a 5000-year-old monument

As far as I could find out, they used orange cornflour that will just wash off the next time it rains. The most amount of damage anyone could seriously bring up was that it could harm/displace the lichen on the henge.

That's not to say that I specifically condone the action, but it's a lot less bad than this article makes it sound. It's the same with the soup attack on one of van Gogh's painting, which had protective glass on it. So far all the JSO actions targeting cultural/historical things (at least the ones that made it to the big news) have been done in a way that makes them sound awful at first hearing, but intentionally did not actually damage the targeted cultural/historical thing.

I think the biases of the journalist/news outlet/etc. are somewhat exposed by which parts they focus on and which they downplay or omit entirely.

Also if we give it the benefit of the doubt (and it really is a stretch to make this work lol): I could make the argument that this person meant to write: "The movie has such a terrible premise, yet it was successful enough to have two sequels. Learning how it got that success despite the material's premise taught me these 5 things about product management:" and just worded it terribly.

I totally agree with you. I was just clearing up why people bring up Spore beyond just the first stage being similar.

Eh, nothing I did was "figuring out which loophole [they] use". I'd think most people in this thread talking about the mathematics that could make it a true statement are fully aware that the companies are not using any loophole and just say "above average" to save face. It's simply a nice brain teaser to some people (myself included) to figure out under which circumstances the statement could be always true.

Also if you wanna be really pedantic, the math is not about the companies, but a debunking of the original Tweet which confidently yet incorrectly says that this statement couldn't be always true.

People mention Spore because the official FAQ mentions Spore.

Thrive is never gonna be “from puddle to space adventures”-type of game.

People also mention Spore because this is exactly what the devs are envisioning. To quote the FAQ:

Gameplay is split into seven stages – Microbe, Multicellular, Aware, Awakening, Society, Industrial and Space.

Same. I had PayPal do an automated charge back because their system thought I was doing something fraudulent when I wasn't. Steam blocked my account.

Talking to support and re-buying said game did fix the issue for me.

It's even simpler. A strictly increasing series will always have element n be higher than the average between any element<n and element n.

Or in other words, if the number of calls is increasing every day, it will always be above average no matter the window used. If you use slightly larger windows you can even have some local decreases and have it still be true, as long as the overall trend is increasing (which you've demonstrated the extreme case of).

Somehow Roblox has become the Metaverse Meta was trying to build...

so the names of the ai characters HAVE to be stored in game....

Some games also generate names oh the fly based on rules. For example, KSP stitches names together based on a pre- and suffix and then rejects a few unfortunate possible combinations such as Dildo, prompting a reroll.

I suspect with your game, they just fed it a dictionary of common words though without properly vetting it.

I initially read it as the patients needing insurance to receive those abortions. Or in other words, them not getting medically required abortions if uninsured.

IIRC in 2003 t.A.T.u. was threatened that the live coverage would be replaced with a recording of the rehearsal if they changed up anything during their performance and kissed on stage (gasp the horror). I would assume they're ready to do something similar today just to stop anyone speaking up in favor of Palestine, in favor of Joost or critical towards Israel from being broadcast.

I'm leaving my review as is. Sony trying this and saying in their tweet that they're "still learning what's best for PC players" does not instill me with enough confidence to give it a thumbs up.

As you mentioned, it's a lot easier to lose trust than to (re)earn it.

I'm still not 100% trusting that. Any time a dev comes up with a new feature like this one, they might forget to implement a check if the game is privated (or do the check and mess up properly hiding it).
