So what’s the reason? They are not consistent enough and changes in light/heat output would kill any life that arose?
- Comment on Why do I lose my temper if I'm blocked from a community or by a user? 1 week ago:
Being silenced hurts, rejection hurts. Whatever you were hoping for by writing in that space, whoever you were trying to communicate with, you can’t do it anymore, whatever part of yourself you invested in it, you lose. It does matter and it’s fine to let yourself grieve that loss.

Some games can take 10 years to make, someone should start now
- Comment on Why is AI dialogue so fucking bad? 2 weeks ago:
Because all of the funding is going towards making them more competent at following instructions and not being offensive to corporate sensibilities, and making an AI model good at those things makes it worse at producing creatively interesting text. There are models that are attempts at retraining to be better at that, with limited success. I think there just aren’t a lot of resources being devoted to improving this area.

Shouldn’t it help that it separated them out with underlines? How does this text break down in terms of tokens?
- Comment on So Lemmy, what are your thoughts on Mixtape? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a great game, doesn’t pull punches with its social commentary and actually has something to say. If you don’t play it you should at least listen to the soundtrack which is amazing on its own.
- Comment on So Lemmy, what are your thoughts on Mixtape? 2 weeks ago:
I watched most of a playthrough of it. I don’t agree with most of the criticisms people have that are about disliking the characters and their motivations, and a lot of things about it seem competently done, but what I don’t like about it is how it comes off as a pandering corporate slop take on a certain kind of indie game. Maybe people should play games like Night in the Woods before this.
- Comment on Anon was bullied 5 weeks ago:
Why should it make your life worse? It could, but that shouldn’t be the assumption. The older I get the more I value any memories I can feel the same about now as I did back then, because most of it fades into nothing, only the most intense emotions have staying power. What you hate defines you just like what you love defines you, grudges are important for holding on to your humanity.
Of course it’s good to come to terms with things, and therapy helps, but I strongly object to the idea that the mature thing to do is entirely let go of old resentments and never share them, the opposite is true.
- Comment on Anon was bullied 5 weeks ago:
Therapy is no substitute for well earned grudges
- Comment on Exclusive: Microsoft To Shift GitHub Copilot Users To Token-Based Billing, Tighten Rate Limits 5 weeks ago:
Does that mean you think there is no difference ethically? Have you thought about what corporations like Microsoft are going to do with the power they are accumulating here? Regardless, it’s worth considering that from the perspective of a programmer who is looking to incorporate AI into their work and learn to rely on it, there are risks with using these services that work against their interests, and that’s true independently of any ethical considerations.

If you’re not using local models these companies have got you by the balls

- Comment on Anon has a very specific goal 1 month ago:
It’s funny that instead of imagining finding people who are actually into that, anon defaults to the frog boiling manipulation approach
- Comment on [DCSS] At last, Pandemonium runes are mine 1 month ago:
Respect, that’s an accomplishment for sure. It’s been a while since I’ve played, but what I really like about DCSS is how it’s about exercising good probabilistic judgment under high stakes, it challenges you to manage your emotions and reflect on your biases in a way not a lot of games do.
- Comment on Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do? 1 month ago:
The show Pluribus had a cool scene about this
- Comment on When if ever did "Throw Money at The Problem:" actually work? Instead of being about 75 percent useless? 1 month ago:
Yes, there is empirical evidence that giving people money directly is effective, just denying it doesn’t refute that: ubiadvocates.org/9-successful-ubi-pilot-programs-…
As for why that is, poverty is partly about mindset and decision making, but all of that is strongly influenced by the effects of being in a financially precarious situation and being around others who are. Just knowing that you aren’t at risk of your life falling apart because of relatively minor problems makes an enormous difference and allows people practically and psychologically to think beyond the short term and not get taken advantage of financially. Fill a bucket with water, the crabs will get out.
- Comment on Normies 1 month ago:
Makes sense, I overall agree, I’m mostly just unsure about the idea of a “snap”, “break” or gaining self awareness, as opposed to something more passive. It’s been a while since I saw the movie though and I didn’t read the book so I can’t make much of an argument about it.
- Comment on I've been waiting for this for a long time. 1 month ago:
Yeah I have no idea where people share pirated mods, definitely would like to know, Beat Saber has something like this also with a different system (where somehow third party mod managers have ended up implementing this sort of check), and steam workshop as you mention. Anyway I do own Factorio (though not the expansion), it’s mostly just something that seems like a relevant factor.

UBI pilot programs give a lot of evidence to the contrary
- Comment on Normies 1 month ago:
Maybe I didn’t understand the scene, when I watched it I assumed he had planned to kill the guy all along and that was just stuff Bateman was saying to make him think everything was normal
- Comment on I've been waiting for this for a long time. 1 month ago:
One area where Factorio is tough to pirate is, they actually locked their mods behind a sort of DRM scheme where you have to confirm having it on Steam to download them. It’s a great game as just vanilla but I’m not sure how to get around that if you want to use mods.
- Comment on How do you fight abandonment issues when people keep abandoning you 2 months ago:
I think you are correct to identify it as a contradiction, and shouldn’t fight your feelings. For lots of people absence of durable connections inherently just hurts you and you can’t change that by pretending like it doesn’t. How you are treated is experienced as an opinion, and in a real sense it is one. Something that helps to cope with it though is realizing that the opinions about you that society expresses by being such an environment are disingenuous and deluded. So much about the way people think about and treat each other is wrong, both factually and in terms of whether it makes for a good way to live, but even if you can’t ignore it you can object to it through the way you treat others.

I only really get brown lentils, the two things I tend to use them for are the main ingredient in soup (along with carrots onions potatoes etc), and for fried lentils on rice.

- Comment on Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website 2 months ago:
I don’t like the thought of first-party javascript being able to fingerprint me either though
- Comment on Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website 2 months ago:
Afaik even Tor can be vulnerable to some kinds of fingerprinting, if javascript is turned on, which is required to use some websites, I’m thinking of this as something that could be used in conjunction with Tor
- Comment on Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website 2 months ago:
The reasons they want to do this sound horrible, and I wouldn’t want to use any such thing Google puts out, but I was thinking the other day about how something like this might be useful for enhancing privacy by preventing websites fingerprinting you. Think something like an Invidious server, except for any arbitrary website instead of only youtube; you can indirectly interact with javascript features, maximize the browser to fill your whole monitor revealing its resolution, but the end server will never know you are doing this stuff because all they see is the way your middleman server is configured (which will be as generic as possible).
- Comment on Crimson Desert Players Think They've Found AI-Generated Art In-Game 2 months ago:
Using it like that for in-game paintings kind of sucks, wasted worldbuilding opportunity. If a game has details that imply you should spend time looking at them, they should have content that has to do with the game and isn’t arbitrary filler.
- Comment on To make video games for Gen Z, be authentic 2 months ago:
They’d rather spend hundreds of dollars on skins that’ll give them a sense of identity than $70 on a one-time experience.
ugh
