I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.'
New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set.
I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.
Metallica works, Slipknot doesn't, Iron Maiden does, Nirvana doesn't.
Aperture Science works, so does Black Mesa (the proposed opponent, hehe), Cyberdyne Systems doesn't, Vault-Tec does, Weyland-Yutani also works.
Studio Ghibli doesn't work, Toei Animation does, so does Production I.G. and KyoAni.
Akagi works, JoJo doesn't but JoJo Bizarre Adventure does (so does Joseph Joestar, and it knows Dio Brando is the opponent), Uzumaki does not, BLAME! is accepted but not recognized (a shame), 20th Century Boys is not accepted.
Soviet Union works, Russia does not, neither do most countries. US States are accepted (California's opponent is Florida), so do many cities, with exceptions of Mexico City/Ciudad de Mexico, Pyongyang and Tehran.
Voyager-1 works, Apollo 13 doesn't (for any mission numbers), plain Apollo does (but it's not the space mission), Soyuz does, SpaceX Starship does not.
Vim works, so does Emacs, so does Visual Studio. (I've tried that just to see the proposed opponents)
Dota 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Mass Effect, Half-Life, Deus Ex, Arma 3, BioShock, Elden Ring all work, even Wolfenstein does. Disco Elysium is accepted but produce something unrelated (a shame, again). Can't find a video game that won't be accepted.
Funnily, US Government worked partially for me, failing to produce a single piece.
"Warhammer 40K" generates perfectly good lawsuit material: a space orc on a bike (knight) and a space marine with a bolter (pawn) in a classic WH40k pose. Also some Eldar-like pieces I didn't recognise.
I tried entering cocaine and it was rejected, but tried coca leaves and it looks quite good. Also my opponents pieces were coffee beans which is a nice color contrast, and with that I beat the easy computer player. My first try a couple hours ago and I chose Grasshopper Pie Milkshake and the opponent it chose was Avocado Toast, and both were green, and I lost.
Holland, England and Scotland all work. So does Myanmar, but not Burma. Deutschland works, but not Germany. Probably just an overly literal filter based on a static list of countries.
I found the abstract of this article to be quite interesting[0] and reflects my own experience of WFH. Pre-pandemic I was always in an office and now I'm always at home, I definitely have a longer work day now because there's more distractions.
I agree with this. I hate exercise so I go into the office a few days a week and I cycle to get there and back which is roughly 10 miles in total. Without that commute I'd be too tempted to do nothing by way of exercise.
Thanks! I hadn't heard of that show before, having watched the first episode you can tell it's from the era of Tomorrows World and the legendary Johnny Ball!
I work in London, UK. The distrust levels in the company I work in are difficult to gauge as I'm contracted out to a client site.
From what I hear other contractors in the client site the level of distrust is simply down to pay. The parent companies that have contractors onsite rarely offered a rise that matched inflation even when inflation was <3% let alone now when it's >10%. I've even seen employees of one parent company move to another for a five figure pay rise and end up in the same building doing an almost identical job.
> I've always perceived opinions on HN regarding work as being of the 'take the money and run' variety, switching jobs as fast as possible and generally having no loyalty in the company
This is not a fair picture to paint of people who job hop. I've never been in the same role for more than three years but that's less about loyalty/money and more about my desire to learn new things at a pace faster than the companies move.
I'm not on Twitter and yet I'm probably aware of far-right commentary on the platform. I can't say I'm aware of any "far left extremists" as you call them.
Who are the "far left extremists" that you mention? Isn't there more attention to far-right Twitter accounts due to the increase in violence taking place in the name of far-right politics?
It's not really a left vs right case, but there are many instances in both Twitter and Reddit of women openly hating men, which isn't censored, while the opposite (men openly hating women) is censored or punished.
I don't want to name individual Twitter users, but you can check the r/FemaleDatingStrategy subreddit to have an idea.
Edit: I've done a quick Google search on reddit of "I hate men" and "I hate women" and they both seem to be quite prevalent, so maybe there isn't that much of a bias in terms of banning users. Although I still believe there is bias in terms of which subreddits have been deleted, quarantined, or allowed to continue.
I'm currently a year into a role as Lead SRE in team working in SAFe. We plan five 2 week sprints for which we immediately write off 50% of our time as "BAU activities" and the rest of our time is spent lurching from one deliverable to another in the hope we actually achieve something before we get "re-prioritised" yet another time. It's not even SRE, it's 2nd line support and platform engineering.
I really have no idea how SAFe works or how it's meant to work, but everyone seems happy so long as I complete my JIRA tickets on time because that's what the users want.
I don't know if we claim to use SAFe were I work, but this sounds very similar to my experience. It frustrates me to no end, but as a contractor I don't get a say and the full time employees seem to be okay with the status quo.
I am constantly amazed that any working software comes out of such a process, but against all odds it does.
