Seconding that.

Not cruel, but firm and transparent. Not too escalating, but not too subtle. Spot on.

I mean looking at him I can see how he’s not very flexible…

Oh you mean the handle outside of the door …

For some reason I thought the item holder in the car door that’s accessible from inside the car only.

Yeah no doxxing then, ofc.

• one penny
• marbles (something something lost their marbles)
• a lego brick
• origami crane
• notes saying ridiculous stuff like “remember to water your car before you leave” or “this car belongs to [your name and address]”
• a very embarrassing mini figure like maybe barbie, winx club, things like that

Cute rogue like with great humor. Kinda sinking a lot of hours into it rn…

I’ve played the game when it was free for a while and I’m wondering why this doesn’t happen more often. The game is a pile of huge gameplay concepts, wasted potential, repetitive mechanics and a ton of bugs. I like what it could be but we’ve lived in that illusion long enough, chances are this will stay in development and eventually just cease to exist.

There’s a very small chance it will get officially released but honestly nothing I even have to consider.

If only the developers started to to finish and polish parts of the game…

Good to know they keep going their own way. We got more than enough carbon copy games nowadays, always excited for something unique.

Don’t forget the other details about war crimes against Palestinians and Palestinians living in towns caged in, and getting assaulted day in and day out through the fence by Israelites. And the constant harassment online. And Israelites taking over their homes forcefully. And them having no place to live.

I guess sometimes you can get lost in the details. My bad.

5/5 thick french accent but most genuine conversations I’ve had in like 5 years at work. Sad he’s gone now, but will discuss Stromae on the clock again when he visits.

Was at a party on Friday and there’s new opportunities for making music now because of some connections there.

I did, and I disagree with their decisions.

I can condense their article down to “we need money, and we can get it through ads, so we built our own ad network to preserve privacy”.

But I don’t like that. This decision does not exist in a vacuum. This comes after a number of other decisions leading me to believe they are shifting priority to making a profit. Telemetry being opt-out, pocket, selling ads on home screen, …

This is the icing on a shit cake and I’m sorry, Mozilla destroyed their value proposition about half way into their chain of bad decisions.

If you still wanna use Firefox, fine. I don’t care about that. I don’t understand why, but that’s ok, it’s your god damn decision. But I wanna alert everyone else that Mozilla is not who they used to be and it’s time to reevaluate why you use the browser you do.

Saying this is an ignorant take is invalidating all the experiences I’ve had configuring Firefox back to being privacy friendly, and I don’t appreciate you calling me ignorant for that. If you disagree, that’s fair, but you can do it without attacking my credibility. And doing so by giving actual reasons would definitely help your case.

Been called an idiot for saying that I wouldn’t trust Firefox as far as I can throw it like 2 months ago after they made telemetry opt out.

I can’t believe that someone who is privacy conscientious would just stick to their guns rather than watching out for their privacy.

I just hope someone else picks up the shards and runs with it and then we can all just focus on making them better instead of getting riled up over a god damn browser lol.

Yeah the perfect amount of stupid where you actually wanna try to get good at the game. It’s awesome.

This might be a wild take but people always make AI out to be way more primitive than it is.

Yes, in it’s most basic for an LLM can be described as an auto-complete for conversations. But let’s be real: the amount of different optimizations and adjustments made before and after the fact is pretty complex, and the way the AI works is pretty close already to a brain. Hell that’s where we started out; emulating a brain. And you can look into this, the base for AI is usually neural networks, which learn to give specific parts of an input a specific amount of weight when generating the output. And when the output is not what we want, the AI slowly adjusts those weights to get closer.

Our brain works the same in it’s most basic form. We use electric signals and we think associative patterns. When an electric signal enters one node, this node is connected via stronger or lighter bridges to different nodes, forming our associations. Those bridges is exactly what we emulate when we use nodes with weighted connectors in artificial neural networks.

Our AI output is quality wise right now pretty good, but integrity and security wise pretty bad (hallucinations, not following prompts, etc.), but saying it is performing at the level of a three year old is simultaneously under-selling and overselling how AI performs. We should be aware that just because it’s AI doesn’t mean it’s good, but it also doesn’t mean it’s bad either. It just means there’s a feature (which is hopefully optional) and then we can decide if it’s helpful or not.

I do music production and I need cover art. As a student, I can’t afford commissioning good artworks every now and then, so AI is the way to go and it’s been nailing it.

As a software developer, I’ve come to appreciate that after about 2y of bad code completion AIs, there’s finally one that is a net positive for me.

AI is just like anything else, it’s a tool that brings change. How that change manifests depends on us as a collective. Let’s punish bad AI, dangerous AI or similar (copilot, Tesla self driving, etc.) and let’s promote good AI (Gmail text completion, chatgpt, code completion, image generators) and let’s also realize that the best things we can get out of AI will not hit the ceiling of human products for a while. But if it costs too much, or you need quick pointers, at least you know where to start.

I wanna punch racists and Nazis so bad.

Why the fuck do you think you’re better or worse depending on your skin color or ethnic background?

This is basic biology, how you are is almost completely disconnected from what you look like.

I’m so sorry for all that stuff. Hope you found a way to deal with it.

Basically by letting it linger in your mind and then when you make a song you remember certain things about it and some of those things you try out.

Now legally it gets complicated, but it always comes down to how close you are to the original.

luvcat - matador

Been absolutely obsessed with that one lately and even more so given they seem to be a small band with a really good song.

Right after Ubisoft added an offline mode for the crew 2 iirc
