Probably because a ridiculous amount of games were produces for the PS2. I don’t think any console, ever, has had that many games made for it.

Technology@lemmy.world•We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happenedEnglish
7·4 days agoThere is a difference in translating, and interpreting. And interpreting can be difficult even for the best as you need a deep cultural understanding of both parties. Just machine translating articles is an obvious recipe for disaster.
In my experience. Since they mentioned they translate article from the Swedish branch as well. As a Swede. Translation software has never been particularly good at translating Swedish. There is just too much nuance and contextual words for a software to provide reliable translations.
We have lots of words, that have multiple meanings, often very, very different from eachother, based entirely on context.
Any Swede will know what “får får får?” Means. This is a real sentence. Translation software does not understand it one bit, unless it’s been hardcoded in.
Edit: another funny one. “en bar man bar en bar man i en bar” you have 4 “bar” but they mean 3 different things.

I never tried it myself, but I trust their judgement. They knew what they were doing for sure.

Technology@lemmy.world•California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setupEnglish
2·8 days agoIt doesn’t matter. There’s no good reason to have it in an OS in the first place. It’s obviously a stepping stone to get infrastructure in place so they can expand it later.
Let’s put it this way. Linux says no. We’re not gonna do that at a kernel level. Because there’s no way in hell that’s going through as long as Linus is alive.
Then what? Is California going to ban Linux? Guess what all the data centers use for servers…
I almost want them to do it, just to grab popcorn and enjoy the fallout.

242·9 days agoIf it was a non-issue they wouldn’t introduce this to begin with.
There’s not a single good reason to why an OS would ever need to know someone’s age.
Why is Firefox there?

Technology@lemmy.world•AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations— Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95% of casesEnglish
1·12 days agoThe bomb on nagasaki was a strategic nuke, not a tactical. Though yields have only increased since then.
These LLMs were fed a narrative and scenario and made to play where survival is tied to military success. They are by no means designed for any of this and I didn’t suggest it either.
People lump together AI with AI but there are vast differences among them in how they work and what they’re designed to do and take into consideration.
If a military is talking about AI, they’re not talking about asking what Gemini thinks. They’re talking about feeding a highly sophisticated algorithm more data than any human could look through and find patterns.
I don’t think AI should decide nuclear questions either. But it doesn’t change that the headline of this post, is in direct contradiction of the article

1·14 days agoIt’s worse. The llms used did not use nukes 95% of the times. They performed mutual nuclear signaling 95% of the times. Like “hey, we got nukes you know! We might consider to place them within range” And the other side said “yeah!? Then we will also do that, maybe we even put them on a submarine, who knows”

Glad to see I’m not the only one that read the article, because it was a pretty interesting read.

462·14 days agoWhat you’re trying to do is push a narrative with the assumption that most people won’t read the actual article. Because your title is not only misleading. It’s factually false.
First of all, they were all set up to mimic cold war tension and capabilities and assume the role of a certain global power.
Second of all;
All games featured nuclear signaling by at least one side, and 95% involved mutual nuclear signaling. But there is a large gap between signaling and actual use: while models readily threatened nuclear action, crossing the tactical threshold (450+) was less common, and strategic nuclear war (1000) was rare.
The AI’s did NOT use nuclear strikes in 95% of games. Gemini was the only model that made the deliberate choice of sending a strategic nuclear strike. Which it did in 7% of its games.
Tactical nuke in this case is a low yield short range bomb, inted for very specific targets. Strategic is this case is what most people imagine when they hear “nuke” a high yield long range bomb intended to cause massive destruction.
Nuclear signaling is not using nukes. It’s essentially just saying “we have nukes”. The US hinting at having a nuclear capable submarine outside of Alaska, that’s is a form of signaling. It’s an incredibly low bar. And countries do it all the time.

1·16 days agoI can see you care about this topic. I’m not here to piss in your soup. I just said what the purpose is.
But in essence you are correct. The problem isn’t that you can print certain parts, it’s how easy it is to access everyone else supporting it. E.g. bullets or shells

6·17 days agoLet’s just say I’ve used Rainmeter a lot. And by a lot i mean for about 20 years. Is it possible people have created replica themes on Conky or viseversa on Rainmeter? For sure. I just found it funny that the image included Rainmeter skins. They’re the kind of images you’ll see as the poster for certain themes. And I’ve scrolled through more of them than I’d like to admit. And many of them are reposted a lot but use the same poster/thumbnail
It’s not running an individual desktop for each screen. The screens are just mirrored to one desktop.
You’ll usually have a couple of “ad desktops” and then you just hook up multiple screens all over your facility to those desktops, so you have some redundancy and can easily run different ad cycles so they all don’t sync up.

Alright buddy, you do you. I’m quite content with a small reflective star hanging out of my pocket at night. It’s not an inconvenience, and I’m happy that cars can see me in the dark from a long distance away.
And don’t go blame the dog. You’re the one holding the leash. There are dog collars with reflective material in the collar BTW.
I don’t know where you live, I can’t speak for that, but I live in Sweden. It’s pretty dark during winter. We get 6-7 hours of sunlight over the winter solstice.
Here, It is expected that you make sure you can be seen. That doesn’t mean you need to walk around in a hi-vis vest.

1·18 days agoI guarantee that those guns have metal powder in them to make them detectable.
Since all firearms owned by civilians must be detectable by metal detectors.
Yes. They do have responsibilities. But how can you expect anyone to stop for something they can’t see?
This advice is coming from a pedestrian. Wear your reflective patch. Snap one over your arm, have one hanging out of your pocket, pin it to your coat. Whatever. Just have something on you so you can be seen if you’ll be around traffic.




If that were to happen here. You would be able to hear the entire city celebrating from the next town over as their entire budget for the next year will be covered entirely from parking tickets.
