    Did you encounter any issues related to the fact that Unreal Engine uses a specific / custom flavor of C++?

    This has been well discussed before, for example in this book: https://ifanyonebuildsit.com/

    Russian here. Speaking of Dugin, I'm not a fan of his ideas about archaic way of living, and I don't personally know anyone who likes them. I consider him to be a hypocrite who tal…

    I wonder, is an electronic system capable of doing anti-entropy work on itself (the way life does) necessarily AGI-complete? It turns out that there are many complex behaviors (lik…

    Unlike the elephant / mammoth pairing, there aren't any marsupials similar to Thylacine (as far as I know). What surrogate options did you have in mind?

    Thanks to ChatGPT, I'm much less hesitant to delve (haha) into unfamiliar topics. "Hi! I'm a beginner programmer. I'm interested in learning Idris but I know next to nothing about …

    Steam works in Russia, but it doesn't accept payments. Free and previously owned games can be played, but new ones cannot be bought. The usual way to circumvent this is via gifting…

    I feel that long, unexplainable, hard-to-comprehend proofs may become commonplace when we get to AIs that are capable of discovering new proofs on their own.

    Text continuation doesn't. AGI does.

    To me, both Outer Wilds and The Witness were absolutlely savourable, and I made a point of never looking up anything on the Internet while playing these games. That would rob me of…

    OP likely meant that a Midjourney-level AI can easily generate all the card art. Obviously, current AIs cannot generate game rulesets because the game feel is an internal phenomeno…

    Take my advice with a grain of salt, but: Get a ChatGPT4 subscription and ask away. It may hallucinate, but it lets you ask questions and immediately clarify points you don't under…

    Does a bunch of atoms arranged into proteins have a soul?

    I'd guess that the emphasis in OP's reply was on 'actually work'.

    I tried many of them, even wrote my own app (failed), but today I just use Obsidian with separate workspaces for each major project / area. (Can't say that it works well for recurr…

    My problem with children and AI is much more practical. My daughter (17) is an artist, and she wanted to begin a career in animation. However, the progress in generative AI (namely…

    I did not expect this level of quality in the beginning of 2024. Makes me think that we may see AGI by the end of this decade.

    Very timely and helpful, thank you! A suggestion: the pulse animation would look much better with ease-in / ease-out animation curves instead of the harsh linear curve it's current…

    https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/ However, the Reddit search is atrocious, so you'll either have to try your luck googling, or spend some time in the subreddit.

    ChatGPT 4 is fantastic for this kind of questions. No Google spam to filter out, and you can ask follow-up questions on topics such as configuration.

    Whatever. Not my problem anymore. I switched to Kagi + ChatGPT 4 and couldn't be happier -- though it costs me about $30 per month. I haven't tried Kagi's FastGPT yet. How does it …
