long division

Xbox graphics is hiring Xbox.

Looks like they already found their new hire!

They mean if the police approach and question you don’t talk to them because anything you say will only be used against you. It will likely be used out of context as well.

Oh, it will let us do the thing we already do if we take the time to learn common behaviors and actually pay attention?

Oh good, at least they spoke to someone who knows what they are talking about.

“But AI often generates made-up responses that please the user rather than being anchored in objective reality. This could be a disaster if applied to pets’ welfare,” said Birch, whose input to the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act led to it being expanded to include cephalopod mollusks and decapod crustaceans.

Birch points to separation anxiety: dog owners often want reassurance that their pet is not suffering when left alone for long periods. Futuristic “translation” apps based on large language models could promise to provide that reassurance, but end up causing harm by telling owners what they want to hear rather than what the animal actually needs.

Is pegging?

Asking for a friend.

The publisher delaying the game would allow them to keep the $225 million so of course they are going to say it isn’t ready.

See how this works?

Early release was supposed to be in 2024. We have halfway through 2025.

Lead devs have said the game is ready for early release, so they are likely taking a break from a game they feel is being delayed by the publisher. The publisher is whining about expectations, not obligations or anything along those lines.

I’m with the devs on this one, project burnout is real.

A publisher trashing devs of a beloved game with personal attacks certainly was a bold move.

However, instead of participating in the game development, he chose to focus on a personal film project.

We are deeply disappointed by the former leadership’s conduct, and above all, we feel a profound sense of betrayal by their failure to honor the trust placed in them by our fans.

So professional!

They did not have any reason to personally attack the leads except out of spite, and odds are high that doing so will only anger the player base towards the publisher.

Trashing the devs was a terrible idea, and what they wrote was clearly petty and spiteful.

However, instead of participating in the game development, he chose to focus on a personal film project.

My assumption is that Krafton expected the leads to put in 12 hour days 7 days a week to meet ridiculous expectations and the leads took some vacation time or something along those lines. That would match up with common publisher behavior, especially the ones that trash people publicly.

The polite phrasing is pills of color

Oh boy, they are going to get so many bad Glassdoor reviews.

Or more likely they weren’t actually being lazy, they knew they needed to leave room for swelling and healing. The surgeons that did tight stitches thought theirs was better because it looked better immediately after the surgery.

Surgeons are actually pretty well known for being arrogant, and claiming anyone who doesn’t do their neat and tight stitching is lazy is completely on brand for people like that.

If you have the right connections you don’t even have to be good looking or talented!

Brazil shuts BYD factory site over ‘slavery’ conditions

From 2016 and still true today:

Chinese Government Subsidies Play Major Part In Electric Car Maker BYD’s Rise

Yeah, subsidies and other benefits from governments exist but China is going all in.

Your point is a valid one! Just not in the context of discoverability.

Licensing is a different issue than wanting to emphasize music discovery.

More music, more discovery.

Lots of books say that.

Most people don’t immediately drown during swimming lessons, so yeah knowing the motions to make means they should be able to handle calm water as long as they don’t panic. Heck, knowing how to do the dead man’s float is enough for the vast, vast majority of people to stay bought for a long period of time.

Toss them in a heavy current and odds of survival are minimal without prior practice.

They should have just added more songs, not replaced them.
