Last Notes npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…zrxk They should just move on to 7, play that old "higher number is newer" tick npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Good to see npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…5x8e feels like blood money :( npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…wxct Hugely deserved, bravo! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…ml9f I'm confused, I thought Death Valley was a lovely pleasant place to visit npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…d0yj absolutely normal. Just remember that lots of stuff won't be nicely compatible cause it'll assume case insensitive or otherwise :) npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…ml9f and then Ars posted a news article about it with entirely fabricated quotes, and it turned out the article had been written by AI. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc I'm fascinated by Discord discourse because I think a lot of folks just aren't getting it npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Time for a #discord alternatives thread, for no particular reason. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…jnzr unsurprising given their recent job posting requires you to be pro AI and promote it to your colleagues npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…ml9f the most frustrating thing is that I think if they'd done this whole thing with the focus on making the internet better and more open and just kept the AI part as a small component of that, emphasising not jumping on the band wagon and pushing for fair use, then this would be taken better. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…valu oh not at all, but it does bring a good point... Were dealing with half spin increments but the charge is 1/3 vs. 2/3 which seems imbalanced. Given the "down" is the one lacking in charge it would seem to indicate some kind of first principles argument for the origin of "double down" in the vernacular npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Does the fact that a person can be "up" for something and "down" for that same thing prove quantum theory? npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…valu so fuckin sorry this is happening to you folks over there. Stay safe out there. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…valu @nprofile…wgz8 also look at how many people they hire, those jobs have been created! Out of thin air! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…valu it's really embarrassing in a way? Like I just feel bad for everyone involved, us included for having to learn about it. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…valu one of the funniest things microsoft has ever done npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj only one way to fix that... npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Alright, time to move away from Firefox. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj for me the input lag that you still get feels so weird, so I can't use it to revive anything that's below 30. It makes 60+ stuff feel smooth as butter though and that's nice. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj can be fine, but entirely depends on total load/traffic you expect, and also if you wanna have to do maintenance on everything at the same time! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj great to have ya back :) npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj I thought Rosetta was pretty good? npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj yup, kinda amazed when a good word actually crops up. English is such a messy language! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj I'm not sure "source" is a good word here given it's an incredibly common abbreviation for "source code". You'd have two meanings that are ambigiuous even in context. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…dfpj love this for you! Enjoy and keep bringing good vibes to the space. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Sorry folks but if you're proudly posting generated slop from prompts then I've got some advice - focus on the art of writing itself. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…fnpd tbf Fedora isn't for a casual user. It's good you've got through this but I'd never recommend it for a relative newbie! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…fnpd Nouveau is the open source Nvidia driver. The driver most people use is the closed source one (which doesn't really have a name). npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…fnpd yeah I read ya. Tbh what I'd say is that Linux is an OS that thrives on your investment- it's there to be explored, tinkered with and understood. That comes with additional mental overhead, which if you're like me is not only worth it but actually largely the point. Like how understanding how a car engine is put together and tuning it to their preference is a joy for some, while others would prefer to just treat it like a black box and only want it to get them from A to B. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…fnpd FWIW Neither Visual Studio, Superluminal nor Fork have Linux versions, so if those are your tools of choice I imagine you'll have a worse time. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…6lf0 welcome to the unfortunate fight @nprofile…rl69 has had to have for almost a lifetime. That and calling Windows "PC" npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…fnpd oh yeah good point, I'll check out the code :) npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…fnpd love the port to the web too! I'm most of the way through doing similar for myself, been really fun to implement the playdate pixel/pattern style renderer in ogl npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…sht7 you ask too much npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Just woke up from a utopian dream where json supported comments npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…sht7 holy fuck that's pure evil npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…gvnm @nprofile…f4qw I've adopted the "ok what's the quickest way to show how funny it is when this goes wrong" mentality. It's helping a lot! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc For the love of god can we stop anthropomorphising LLMs. No, ChatGPT did not "come up with an excuse" or "think about its mistakes". Gemini did not "lie about its reasoning" or "struggle to understand basic concepts". Grok didn't "decide to praise Nazis" or "express it's support for genocide". npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…gvnm that comment at the top of the file npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…4s4u @nprofile…gvnm TIL you can unpin stuff for just yourself on discourse. Thanks dood! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc A reminder that "no politics" is in itself a political statement, and nothing is apolitical. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Games that mute when alt tabbed, but don't pause? Actual war crimes. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…843t that idiot doesn't know I have Kali installed npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…843t the one you have installed :) npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @nprofile…gvnm npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Excellent work here npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1gzl…kk4u FYI it's been confirmed by WaPo to be real, an audience member has died and one is in critical condition. The shooter is dead too. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1m9p…4fja you got this dude, make it so! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Stolen from Lemmy npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Apple encouraging you to make AI images of your family! Without their consent! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc With all these stupid Google AI screenshots... The problem isn't so much that LLMs aren't really AI, or that they're not accurate. The problem is the tech companies trying to line their pockets by selling you the *idea* that LLMs are AI and can be accurate and trusted to answer questions. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Ah looks like the latest wave (3 already this morning!) are probably coming from https://www.pcgamer.com/games/monkey-island-creator-ron-gilberts-next-game-is-classic-zelda-meets-diablo-meets-thimbleweed-park/ npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc You wouldn't believe the number of people who sign up to mastodon.gamedev.place with the justification "I want to follow Ron Gilbert" npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Yo @npub1tvq…l6jk did you know you're the 39th most popular fediverse account? https://fedidb.org/popular-fediverse-accounts?page=4 npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1gzl…kk4u @npub1m9p…4fja man there's this serious level of FOMO I have when I'm not riding waves with the community. Seeing everyone so involved and getting to events makes it harder too. Life is complicated that way, pushes in one direction and pulls in the other. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1ede…nsaa npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1ykd…6j2y well luckily Lethal Company will be there to help make some new ones. It's not a single player game at all. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1ykd…6j2y It's rarely ever *not* fun for me... npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1tvq…l6jk until they start stealing from eachother! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1ykd…6j2y others have mentioned "fanny" but I do have a soft spot for the "thong" difference between US/UK and Aus English npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1ykd…6j2y they'll have to rule it wasn't an insurrection, surely? But to do that you'd have to deny so much hard evidence, or claim that in fact there was reasonable proof the election was being stolen. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1tvq…l6jk but nobody says Led instead of LED... npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1gzl…kk4u my god inject that into my veigns if it somehow exists. It's been so long... npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Incredible move, via https://nitter.net/Terraria_Logic/status/1704227519027651016 npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub188q…3jlx yeah... Eurogamer hit the nail on the head with their review. npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1tvq…l6jk used to find this so frustrating at Feral, but am very glad we pushed hard on the ability to always disable it. It's pretty cool there though for the screen/reso picker and the mod management stuff! npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc Could someone please invent an Ad Blocker that's for AI articles ASAP? Trying to find information on the web these days is getting infuriating npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1gzl…kk4u be cool if it had a webcam tho npub1442f2xtgjjmptr5jndmgd60yp6906hcvgj5xw34ssxaphta593lsls7fg0 Marc @npub1gzl…kk4u @npub1gzc…fsz3 good luck in the new digs and with the team! You got this
