Wow, even on German Amazon it's for free (Digital of course). i bought the paperback a little while ago and am still reading it (sorry, slow reader here 😅). I enjoy it. Maybe you would enjoy it, too?

Had the demo. Maybe I still have it somewhere.

It was so smooth (scrolling) on my 386.

Then again, why look for it when it can be found playable online in the browser...

Guess I know what I missed... Let's watch it and see if you are correct

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 11d

I mean no evil, but I just saw this 😅

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 11d

I see how it is... You try to lure us with chocolate... Nearly worth an airplane ticket. 😅

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 11d

...also, are you not happy with your username? You keep changing it all the time. Just wondering.

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 11d

I... Think I know

While I don't condone him, it should rather be the opposite: "Never forget!"

It is nice to pretend it never happened, but then nobody learns.

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 11d

Thank you for your warm words.

We are on the same side of the world btw, not that same country though 😅

Yes, personal life is just really hard right now and will be for the foreseeable future.

But I guess I shouldn't wait and actually try to push some personal projects forward. Life is too short.

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 12d

Gotta check that out! Thanks for the hint.

...but honestly, I think my thoughts were incorrect initially 😅 (Sorry!!!)

No idea what the training sets are. Since it is similar to how humans learn, I think you can't compare AI to a database,. It's just the best geek politician and sweet talker who remembers the stuff the most. Doesn't mean it's right, even if confident, which it's trained to be.

Could help but repost this 😅

Ordered sake at a fancypants restaurant and was offered my choice of sake cup. I feel like this is a trap.

It isn't really the fault of AI but how it was taught. That reflects the quality of the answers. But yeah, I can see your point.

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 17d

Darn those taxes... Or I would order one 😅

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 17d

Gosh, gotta finish (really start) playing some time. 😅

Andreas (tcmsurfer) @tcmsurfer.net · 22d

My first was a game gameboy, a 286 PC and an SNES. - No SEGA for me (...or I decided to be on the other side back then)

Don't forget to share a photo, since you can't share the bread and honey...

I may be a bit evil mentioning this, but you should check this out maybe:
