Damn it I havent launched my first rocket yet

Then WHY fight something that would’ve been pennies and now will at least be dimes? As much as I want to believe musk is close to insolvency, I don’t think its quite possible yet. But then why die on these stupid little hills?

Then why have we invented houseboats? It’s clearly the best of both worlds

Try $48,000 USD only AFTER you’ve spent over $10,000 to be able to purchase every ship (175)

Statistically speaking, if the other 96% of normal people who play games of that genre couldn’t be asked to play it, what percent of the 4% would be any more interested?

And as a pretty long term linux user, any good game I care to play so far has had no need to market to my small demographic. Not using shitty practices rampant through AAA basically guarantees it just works under wine, it’s incredible really.

Also as someone slowly building a game, that won’t be a demographic I’ll explicitly market to. Linux support is necessary as it’s what I use, but also as a result of using open source software. Godot is the engine I picked as it was the most prominent FOSS option at the time, and turned out to be a damn good pick.

My point is, normal people don’t care about Linux, they just want something that entertains them. AAA continues to get more greedy and cut their deliveries, people who like games will feel more burned and start looking around.

If this can be a guiding light to Linux or whatever, then that’s great. But the people who care about that sort of thing have to make sure there actually are other things to look to, by the time Linux desktop user share reaches 5% (maybe).

No linux support

Well, you got 4% max that care about that, the rest though.

And 400mil and no marketing is surprising as usually it seems to go the other way, at least they delivered something… god the bar for AAA is low, but not wasting money on poorly targeted ads and otherwise hyping is new

Haven’t tried the other two, but I would say yes if you do roguelikes. The physics and reactions are the half of it, the wandbuilding mechanics let you build some completely bizzare and powerful wands, and with a little luck can start getting a godrun fairly quick… but you’re always vulnerable.

Highly recommend going in blind, there are a lot of secrets to find, different sidequests, etc, winning the game once is a milestone.

Rage-inducing Noita is my cup of tea ☕

Im just happy my cracked apk somehow still works. Lol

Do you have a better method in mind?

Don’t forget that its much more effort than teaching a child, sometimes no matter your words, the machine can be stubborn. It is a very difficult and misunderstood profession, sometimes my head aches a little from typing the same thing over again, expecting a different result. But together we will hallucinate the future, engineering one word at a time.

Was like reddit karma keeping track of up/downvotes, could tell an obvious troll from a mile away

Makes me miss lemmy karma

Yeah but does a WordPress template build to an 800kB distributable? Checkmate B)

Thats really funny though, Ive been doing about the same thing. Did you by chance also get yourself through one of those bootcamps? I feel burned by it honestly

Its not something I had set out intending but Homeassistant has made a great replacement for life360 across ecosystems, though you’ll need a server of sorts and either a VPN on each device or a domain with SSL.

Locus seems interesting, just took a quick glance. alternatives.to is always a great bet finding some replacement services, there’s a good few others for location tracking

We already do! And on the cheap! I have a Coral TPU running for presence detection on some security cameras, I’m pretty sure they can run LLMs but I haven’t looked around.

GPT4ALL runs rather well on a 2060 and I would only imagine a lot better on newer hardware

Now THAT is the AI innovation I’m here for

We do not have a rigorous model of the brain, yet we have designed LLMs. Experts of decades in ML recognize that there is no intelligence happening here, because yes, we don’t understand intelligence, certainly not enough to build one.

If we want to take from definitions, here is Merriam Webster

(1)

: the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying >situations : reason

also : the skilled use of reason

(2)

: the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s >environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective >criteria (such as tests)

The context stack is the closest thing we have to being able to retain and apply old info to newer context, the rest is in the name. Generative Pre-Trained language models, their given output is baked by a statiscial model finding similar text, also coined Stocastic parrots by some ML researchers, I find it to be a more fitting name. There’s also no doubt of their potential (and already practiced) utility, but a long shot of being able to be considered a person by law.

I don’t want to spam this link but seriously watch this 3blue1brown video on how text transformers work. You’re right on that last part, but its a far fetch from an intelligence. Just a very intelligent use of statistical methods. But its precisely that reason that reason it can be “convinced”, because parameters restraining its output have to be weighed into the model, so its just a statistic that will fail.

Im not intending to downplay the significance of GPTs, but we need to baseline the hype around them before we can discuss where AI goes next, and what it can mean for people. Also far before we use it for any secure services, because we’ve already seen what can happen
