Yes, the dog has a few levers including a "boredom" counter that will trigger it to do things on its own (like roam around, eat something, chase something (eg a rabbit) if there's one around etc). All connected with its current state (Eg hungry = will probably prioritize eating but not guaranteed). Other things are mapped to game events. Deterministic in nature but its underlying values can evolve over time (both its default "homeostasis value" but also the curve of which it increases). You can think of it as letting an llm design a behavior graph, and then playing that behavior graph until it changes again.
Talking to it alleviates pressure so that mechanism doesn't fire much, but in the void-mode video on the website, at the very end, it chooses to chase down an elk on its own much to my surprise.
After play testing it I had to tone it down quite a bit as it caused continuity issues...
In one scenario the dog was hungry so he went and ate something that was owned (counts as a crime attributed to the player) so we ended up in jail. Being transported to jail fired a new location event and a switch from "exterior->interior" which the dog responded to by having the llm author something along the lines of "It's nice to be finally indoors, it was getting cold outside". Which made for a very funny moment but a frustrating gaming experience.
And it seems to store that info locally as even typing the url manually after being redirected from here you still get the eggcup. Using the link in private mode does work though, probably need to clear the local storage
I've recently had to add a notifications system for an app I manage for a client. The client requested it, and I work as part of a larger company, so I couldn't exactly say no, but I felt pretty icky doing it
yea thank u, that's another part, but mainly it would hard although knowing that, because you need to know elevation of the drone or the camera, which is also extremely difficult (I already mentioned that in the blog)
I mean I can vary from 9 to 3 hours of sleep a night, and I can tell you I'd rather get 9 than 3. Just because I'm meant to get 8 hours a night doesn't mean I do
I'm pretty sure the only reason the video trebuchet wasn't a proper bullet is because it's made out of plastic instead of a ball bearing. Aren't most handguns subsonic?
That works until you have a sudden and unexpected situation such as "There is an epidemic of black death, please remain indoors" which you didn't account for, and now you have to tell everyone that the country has been beset by the whooping palsy instead and hope the intent comes through
Looks like it's just dithered pixel art. The JS in the page isn't obfuscated, and I'm not an expert but it looks like the image is being dynamically generated, and then there's a bayer dithering with some extra random jitter
They don't respond to it. It simply says "this button is part of sensitive content", and the OS itself hides the sensitive content, revealing the image below it
have you never encountered the plague of apps saying "don't screenshot, our content looks so much better when you share it, see:" and then displaying a picture of the stupidest looking thing youve ever seen in your life as though you would ever consider showing that to your friends instead of the most personal thing - literally showing them what youre seeing with your own eyes
