The difference between auto-generating hundreds to thousands of words, versus having to manually read and type all of those words out yourself is very obviously a lot more than "nothing".

And that's not even taking into account the fact that we don't know what their method of watermarking is. From how they're talking it sounds like it will be algorithmically embedded in the text itself somehow, through specific choices of words or something similar. If that's the case, typing it out word for word will retain the watermark.

Yeah we'll see how that plays out for SAS but they've at least got a decent window until Harper's rookie contract ends. There'll be tough decisions to make at that point with their big 3.

Yeah I would love to see Fox playing well through to the trade deadline to boost his value, and then get off that contract and spend it on a high level power forward. But SAS has always valued continuity very highly, and considering last season's performance I think will probably keep Fox for the rest of next season.

Git, npm, dotnet CLI, Claude CLI.

As a programmer who's work setup is on Windows I use command line every day.

There's plenty of fast weapons in the game. The huge range of different playstyles with different builds is a big part of the appeal.

Elden Ring was just a lifeless world that used “open world exploration” to pad the playtime.

This is an ignorant take. It's fine if you didn't like the game but this is just objectively wrong. There's an enormous amount of information to be found exploring the world, it just isn't thrown in your face like most games.

Halo was the first FPS designed to be played on console controllers rather than with mouse and keyboard. That's why it feels like shit and why I hate it.

In my late 20s I had just started my first real job as a programmer at a small company of about 10 people, I was kinda shy and hadn't talked to people much. One day a woman was talking about her trip to New York and how there was this famous hotdog stand near the statue of liberty and how the seagulls just terrorised her and people buying hotdogs, swooping in to steal the sausages right out of your hands.

People were laughing and chatting about it and I joined in by wondering out loud if you could put a mannequin on a bench there and put hotdog meat in its eyesockets and teach seagulls to think that human eyeballs were made of hotdog.

The room went completely silent.

I'm now married to the secretary from that job. This was the first thing she remembers ever hearing me say.

DCC is the opposite of weird fiction, it is incredibly formulaic and tropey.

The science in Permutation City is truly mind-warping, if you really try to wrap your head around it. One of my favourite books.

Egan's short story collection Axiomatic is full of heavy concept scifi in a similar vein to it.

It's a great novel but I wouldn't call it "weird"?
