This release is some expert marketing. How many of you looked at this for 5 seconds and thought it can actually play doom out of the box? The input for Jev is text and contains full game state (monsters, items, positions) - there's no image/video input. This state dump is massively preprocessed as well in order to simplify decisions (each position is relative to player's current position and contains additional info like if the item is visible etc.). Problem of dodging projectiles and shooting in an empty room (when using full state dump) is absolutely trivial. You could probably hardcode an ok solution in 30-40 lines of code. What's even more bizarre is the second part that "shows off" navigation and exploration. It seems to me that the agent doesn't really do any planning here and has no capabilities of doing any meaningful pathfinding (unless it's embedded in a custom logic that converts high-level Jev decisions into actual low-level movement). I'm not even sure if it has access to the level geometry. Most probably, it just optimizes towards the nearest goal and, due to the level's simplicity, it's able to get to the exit in this tutorial level. Kind of like greedily following a trail of coins in a 3d platformer. Also, it was possible to generate 100 different tries and choose the best looking one. this whole project might be good, but the release is sketchy af

We love how this doomo doomonstrates real-time intelligence and what can be doone with code + AI! ~10 calls/sec = ~$7/hour

Spent 3 weeks building a texting app slower than email. Messages fly at pigeon speed — LA to NYC takes 22 hrs. Sometimes the bird dies & the message isn’t delivered.

Can't stop listening to her saying 'fuck' in the House of Commons
“We’re here to f*ck all the white girls and f*ck the government.” Katie Lam quoted what the Rape Gangs said about their intentions. She then isn’t afraid to call out the heritage of these men. She names it. If you cannot name a problem, you cannot solve a problem. Just thought I’d take you back to a year ago when she said this because right now the Rape Gangs seems to have been put on the back burner. Never stay silent.

This is equivalent to trying to sell a cop drugs while he’s in uniform in his police car.

A man installed a GPS tracker on his cat to track its route while he was walking his dog. To his surprise, the cat stealthily followed him and the dog for the entire walk. cat was like "I miss you, but you don't need to know that" 😂

Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. It is truly frightening that such a fundamental freedom is now under attack. Once rights are lost, they are not easy to win back. We must resist this with all we’ve got.

I’ve just secured a landmark agreement with Vietnam to ramp up the returns process of illegal migrants. I mean it when I say: if you come here illegally, you will be swiftly returned.

Head-tracked “Window Mode.” Your front camera finds your head. The view reprojects in real time so the screen feels like a window into the 3D scene. True3D, no glasses.

Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place. We lost an incredible human being. His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
