"non-retroactive" clause directly in their contract

I also wonder how Unity‘s approach will work in countries where that is the legal default. I have a feeling that we will be seeing quite a few lawsuits next year, if they actually go ahead with their plans.

I have yet to find an LLM that can summarize a text without errors. I already mentioned this in another post a few days back, but Google‘s new search preview is driving me mad with all the hidden factual errors. They make me click only to realize that the LLM told me what I wanted to find, not what is there (wrong names, wrong dates, etc.).

I greatly prefer the old excerpt summaries over the new imaginary ones (they‘re currently A/B testing).

Since Mohammed in various variants accounts for almost 2% of all humans (4% of males), this seems plausible, regardless of how many Mikes there are.

What‘s the worth of AI generated summaries if they are not factually reliable? The new Google search result previews that are generated by AI (and I believe Google as a large company has more resources than most of us do) contain so many obvious factual errors (i.e. made-up names, wrong places, false dates) that I really doubt current generation AI is ready to be a reliable help in this use case.

I, too, like the idea of not having to do all this work manually. But we’re not there yet.

I love the mechanics. But the naming could be much better. This is not WoW.

Pretty sure your injuries or disabilities would be covered for work related injuries in Europe. But other than that I agree, especially on a personal level.

For comparison: Average gross income in Spain is €2,250 (net €1,785). Minimum wage in Spain is €1,260. Cost of living for a single with a moderate income is roughly at €1,750.

Spain has a high unemployment rate, currently. Especially the youth.

This is a good opportunity to mention a pet-peeve of mine:

  • The various term variations "Germany" derive from the name Germanic tribes.
  • The various term variations "Alemania" derive from the name Alemanic tribes.
  • The various term variations "Deutsch" or "Teutsch" do not derrive from the name Teutonic tribes.

This last one is an etymological false friend. "Deutsch" derives from thiutisk (þeudisk) and in the Western Franconian and Germanic tongues it meant "our people". It's derived from the Indo-European term thiuda (Þiuda).

Start a new factorio game on a handheld device. Don't forget to get out of the plane after 20 hours.

Or watch the extended cuts of Lord of the Rings plus The Hobbit. That is 1171 minutes (=20 hours).

On a more serious note: I would schedule multi-hour blocks of work time, off time and sleep. Watching movies and playing games is much more fun after work is finished, and you feel like you accomplished something. It's also a good opportunity to do the tedious things you always wanted to do but never had the time and/or motivation (finances, taxes, studying, sorting files, sorting mails, that kind of stuff). It's not like you had anything better to do or other places to be, and it might actually make you feel better. After three hours of working you will look forward to the movie, before going to sleep.

I don’t remember if it was like this with the game Myst specifically, but generally speaking: Some hardly solvable riddles were put into many point and click adventure in the pre-internet era, because they usually came with an expensive help hotline that they wanted you to call.

I know that you are mainly looking forward to the new content, and that just quality of life improvements aren't the kind of things that make people buy the game and get excited for.

Nope. I'm preeeetty excited about QOL changes here. :-)

I really enjoy your artwork!

I don’t doubt that your process makes sense for your use-case. And I’m certain that you‘d have thought about alternatives, if they were viable. But your comment left me curious: Why do you prefer to use a regular document scanner for this instead of a good camera or a book scanner?

Also… as an aside, wouldn’t actually cleaning the scanner regularly be faster in the long run than digitally removing the junk afterwards?
