Shouldn't this be great news that the government is banned from using Anthropic?

I don't know why suddenly the narrative here turns to spinning this as "Trump is evil" when this is actually keeping the AI company out of the government's reach.

The level of cognitive dissonance here is unreal.

11

to those unaware: 11 is the laughing taunt in aoe2 and is used in the community like lol. the poster above was describing how you hunt a boar in aoe2 which is a vital source of food in early game. it is risky to use your towncenter to weaken a boar because if you kill it with the towncenter you can not harvest the food

Thanks, I think that's a style/level of in-joke that needed an explanation for the wider audience. Particularly since the first arrow-part sounds almost plausible. (And "11" on its own is unlikely to give many useful hits.)

wololo

(And this - of course is what AoE shaman/priest/religious units would chant to "convert" enemy units to their side ... :)

Great answer, thank you for your perspective.

Roof Koreans were in LA not SF.

Should be "lays off"

/grammarnazi

There is no "should" except what the most influential majority believes is correct. Language naturally evolves all the time and that is a good and beautiful thing.

You may have a preference or think this historical norm is interesting, but please stop with the "should" talk, it is irritating, condescending, and incorrect.

This particular norm is especially "wrong" (heh) because the overwhelming social majority has already left it behind. Clinging to it just because some academic wrote a book claiming that was correct or because 100 years ago that phrasing was common is especially misguided since for most modern English speakers it isn't just a thing they forget sometimes, but actually sounds wrong and weird to them. By any sane understanding of language that makes them far more correct than you.

Just like the plural of breakdown is breaksdown, the plural or checkup is checksup and the plural of hard-on is hards-on.

Absurdly incorrect.

Unless you are joking in which case - nice one.

Actually no, it shouldn't.

In this case, "off" is not a preposition, but "lay off" is a phrasal verb

No. "Layoff" is a real, full word. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/layoff

For the people who are downvoting this, I believe the HN title was edited, and was originally something like "Microsoft layoffs 1000 people". (It's always a bit dangerous to comment on the submission title without saying what the title was at the time of the posting!)

Han Solo was apparently wrong when he said "droids don't rip people's arms off when they lose."

Save up money religiously for over a decade and retire early.

I am a Silicon Valley native, graduated from Stanford, worked at Google for a decade. Never felt like I belonged there socially or in terms of viewpoints.

I left to complete the journey to financial independence without the burden of California state income tax. I got no benefit from being around a bunch of one dimensional software engineers with zero creativity in their lives outside of tech, no sense of independence or adventure.

That's generalizing, California is huge, and has big creative art scenes. The tech bubble side of things is not all there is to it.

You’re hanging out with the wrong engineers.

But I hear you. You should move, at least do a six month lease somewhere and work remotely.

Where’d you go Bouts?

I noticed that most if not all of these questions are applicable to doors in even simple 2D games.

Whereas the physics engine and real-world realism aspects are what the video talks about.

If the problem is that doors are inherently difficult to design, the counterpoint is that these questions have already been answered in multiple ways over the past 30+ years of video game history. It's easier today than ever to answer these questions by drawing on previous games.
