Larian’s CEO says the studio isn’t ‘trimming down teams to replace them with AI’

The CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 studio Larian has inadvertently stirred up some controversy over the use of AI in the developer's next game.

We treat the eight-hour day as an acceptable day’s work, but many celebrated figures did their best thinking in just four or five hours a day — and that deliberate rest may have been key

Sit down to do real work, the kind that asks something of your brain, and notice how long you can actually hold it. Not how long you sit at the desk. How long you genuinely think. For me it is a couple of hours before the words start coming out as mud, and I suspect ... Read more Read more

Физическая калибровка спектрального разложения интервала в Cl(4,0)

Ранее мы установили возможность использования алгебры для описания вектора интервала времени-пространства и характеристик состояния, описываемых алгеброй матриц Паули, например, таких как спин и поляризация. В этот раз я хотел бы показать механизм спектрального разложения мультивекторов в алгебрах Клиффорда и его физическую калибровку. До сих пор мы обходили стороной слона в комнате – интерпретацию времени, да и вообще какую-либо физическую интерпретацию математических результатов. В этой статье мы попробу Read more

Using Sound Waves To Make Espresso Could Cut Coffee-Brewing Energy Use By 75%

Researchers developed an ultrasonic espresso process that uses high-frequency sound waves instead of hot water to produce espresso-strength coffee at room temperature. And, not only did coffee drinkers find it comparable to traditional espresso, but the brewing process cut energy use by up to 75%. An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Conversation: We have developed what we call an ultrasonic espresso: a room-temperature brewing process that uses high-frequency... Read more
