Yeah, the biggest issue is that even the cutting edge arm gpus just don’t pack enough power. I have an arm gaming device, and while it can play a lot of games, it struggles with most modern 3D games. Some of it is compatibilty/support issues, but a lot is just the lack of power these chips have.

That being said arm devices are great for most indie games, but they’re unlikely to be your only gaming device for the time being.

There’s a movie!?!?

Yeah, I was surprised too. It’s a weird concept from the get-go, but I guess the idea was to release an “extended” edition to promote new hardware.

I guess it’s most similar to what they did with pokemon games. Blue/Red leading to Yellow or Gold/Silver leading to Crystal.

It was a version made for the N64DD that got released for the GameCube instead. It’s definitely more like DLC, given it had improved graphics and alternate dungeons, so it’s more than just a re-release.

Don’t forget the GameCube “Master Quest” version.

Thanks for the info, that sounds like it may be worth passing on. The story looked like it had potential, but I heard mixed-poor reviews when it came out.

Was it worth it once the combat did start? I had been slightly interested in that game.

Someone mentioned in a lower level reply, but Startrek and the Orville are great for political / social commentary.

I think a fair amount of sitcoms have some element of educating on social norms. Seinfeld and Its Always Sunny maybe require more prior knowledge about subject matters, but covering things like abortion, immigration, racism, etc.

Mythbusters and similar are pretty good about being “adult” science shows.

Maybe documentaries don’t really count as “entertainment” the way you’re looking for, but Planet Earth is a great series.

This was one of the most Pixar feeling Pixar movies in about a decade.

Manga is actually pretty gender neutral nowadays, but that’s probably because “manga” is really a supset. For every sci-fi/fantasy/superhero manga there is a romance/magical-girl/etc manga. So basically manga contains a subset of all the same genres we see in the diagram.

Additionally by breaking up graphic novels, comics, and manga you’re probably splitting the “male” readership up more letting manga have a “female” bias.

A lot of people posit that they’re doing the construction work because the shows weren’t selling and they needed to stop hemmoraging money and bad publicity. If you were tracking their ticket sales you’d see they couldn’t move tickets at all after Trump kicked out the old board.

I’m surprised that’s the result of the analysis, with so many things vying for peoples attention I wouldn’t think that strategy would work.

I know I bounced off of the following due to long delays:

• Stranger Things
• The Boys
• Severance
• Invincible
• And probably more

What do you recommend instead for $30-40?

That’s not really how demand is measured, demand is a function of price and usually equilibrium is a matter of where demand and supplu meet (using the most basic models).

Producing 20 loaves could be the equilibrium point or 120 could dependant of what defines the supply line (based on material costs/labor).

Gives Attack on Titan vibes

Entrapment requires the cops to purposefully encourage someone to break the law when they normally wouldn’t.

This sounds like the cops were just hiding as construction workers rather than an umarked car.

Edit: Apparently it’s purposefully construction based to encourage drivers to slow down around construction sites. Not sure its the best method for that, but I guess there is worse they could be doing.

Like many any media tied to a specific culture, it assumes a familiarity with the culture - in this case shinto beliefs and japanese folklore. If you’re unfamiliar with those things then a lot of the rules and situations seem to be random and come out of nowhere.

A similar scenario would be like watching Scream or Scary Movie without having seen the movies they make references to. You might still enjoy the movie, but without the context of the films they satrize/parodize you won’t fully appreciate what the movie is doing.

It makes it an understandable criticisim, accesibility of a movie is a valid complaint. However, I don’t think it’s one that necessarily reflects on the quality of the movie, but rather is a warning about who will appreciate it.

Haha, I’m happy to go deep on this if you want, but will keep this post shortish.

Types of data (structured vs unstructured) and types of ML (supervised vs unsupervised vs reinforcement learning) are different.

The way Generative AI models are trained is generally very different than genetic algorithms and typically uses a mixture of Reinforcement Learning and Supervised learning with a diffusion or transformer backend (type of deep learning layer).

GANs probably count as generative AI, but predate the current AI models by a few years. Their approach is more about competing models than survival of the fittest, as it has a model that generates and a model that critiques. Their main drawback was that they could really only output content in a narrow range (faces or landscapes, but not both).

I’m not aware of genetic algorithms being used in GenAI. Genetic algorithms really had their hayday in the 1990s to my understanding. They’re generally very limited due to the heuristic like approach to refining the underlying model.

As for structured vs unstructured, you can typically think of it as whether or not the information is “machine readable” or has an explicit structure.

With the Factorio setting the structure is the grid (how many spaces are there to work with) and what structures you can place on each grid space. So in an x by y rectangle the algorithm has to decide what of the z types of structures should be at each spot on the grid (effectively an xyz output space)

Conversley with language/text you run into many different problems. Just trying to define how many words there are is an ever evolving challenge. While you might be limited to 26 characters, there are no rules about how long or short a sentence is, grammer is flexible, conjugations are all over the place, and the meaning of a sentence can change based on the last word Garden path sentence. Essentially, there is no definitive meaning of any sentence without a contextual lens to provide it structure.
