My jaw hit the floor when I watched an AI master one of the world's toughest physical games in just six hours
But this sounds exactly the sort of thing that machines are better at that people, so it just feels completely unsurprising that it was good at the task.
Turning multiple dials to manage speed and direction is not normally how humans interact with the world, so we can we pretty shit at it.
A basic motor is completely designed to turn like this.
This feels no different to the machine learning tools used to train on Mario a decade ago.

Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
This will probably lead to vocal outrage because it's Systemd rather than an alternative project coming up with the solution.
Sudo has long known to have dangerous weaknesses, but it's generally been accepted since sudo solves a bunch of other problems. If we can fix the problems sudo has, then that's a good thing. Would be nicer if we could split up some of these projects though to stop uber projects.

Gen Z might be the MAGA movement’s undoing

It goes to show that those articles that shit on Millennials are just trying to create a division.
Gen Z, we've got your back.

Microsoft opens a "high priority" bug ticket in ffmpeg, attempting to leech the free labour of the maintainers
Reply in thread
Completely disagree. This is how it works, Microsoft get software for free but they have no authority to prioritise other people's scheduling

Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux
Reply in thread
Nope.
The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.
All the "competition" still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.

lashings for anyone who even THINKS about avocado on their sarnies
Yawn, they said the same thing about us Millenials with our avocado toast!
Its amazing how much of the Gen Z criticism is just recycled Millennial complaints.

Labour wins majority in UK General Elections as Tories lose two-thirds of seats
Reply in thread
We already have the left wing vote split by Labour, Lib Dem and Green.
If you want to claim the 36%, you'll need to add up the left wing parties together.

'The Acolyte' Canceled: Disney's Star Wars Spinoff Done After One Season
with certain corners of the internet going after Headland, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community
That's some odd phrasing. Are they not allowed to say that someone is gay?
It feels like they are trying to dog whistle something, but I'm not sure what. Or was all the criticism completely unrelated and they are trying to stretch a point?
[Update]
I have been educated that this is not an uncommon phrasing to use by someone who is gay.
Presumably following the motto of a rising tide raises all the ships and they have expressed a preference for their success to be viewed as a success for everyone?
TIL.

Thames Water barred from billing customers for pension shortfall
The water company, which has said it could run out of cash by next June, had asked the regulator for permission to charge customers £156.6m through bills to plug the pension shortfall.
I think the phrase is "fuck you".

Four more states join US monopoly lawsuit against Apple
Reply in thread
So you don't understand what a monopoly is?
Because you don't have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.

Depop, Vinted and other apps to share more information with HMRC
Reply in thread
They pay everything that they are required to.
HMRC enforces the rules, they don't make them. The issue is not that Amazon doesn't pay taxes, it is that successive Tory governments allow them to offshore profits because the rules that Starbucks follow are the ones set up to let MPs offshore their money.
Remember, the Queen and our PM were in the Panama Papers. It was ignored because it is by design.

Hopefully this should be blocked to prevent a hostile foreign state from owning and controlling core infrastructure, on the grounds of national security. 🤞

Interesting back story.
Lord Buckethead has been three different people in different elections.
