One of my favourite movies. Someone described it as a soldier movie with werewolves, not a werewolf movie with soldiers and I think that captures it perfectly.

Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep.

He waits.

When Marx said seize the means of production, he was referring to a server environment!

I feel like “a million Charlie Kirks” is supposed to be a pun or rhyme with something but I can’t see it.

Does Wendy’s have a chat bot too? Can we get them to fight without user intervention?

We don’t put maple leaves on our stuff anymore because when we travel we end up getting confused with Americans trying to pretend they’re not Americans by putting maple leaves on their shit.

That was a lot of words to say “I couldn’t get it to work.”

How do you know he was Finnish?

Set up a job to write the file names of everything in your file system to a text file and make sure that text file gets backed up. I did that on my Unraid server for years in lieu of fully backing up the whole array.

Have you ever burst through the door of the emergency room?

I have tried many times, man. But it’s always a really well maintained, automatic, glass sliding door. It leaves no wiggle room for dramatic bursting.

Right? Did that other asshole wish for an X-Wing, or an X-Wing and support crew, structures and materiel to keep it running?

Otherwise he’s gonna run out of fuel in a bit and be fucked, meanwhile other dude is just living his best life.

You need to tag Billie Eilish with her Lemmy username if you expect her to read this.

The version of this I heard growing up was:

A prostitute calls out to a man walking down the road “for $50 I’ll do anything you can say in 3 words”.

The man said “PAINT MY HOUSE”.

This joke didn’t age well. Partially because no one has a house anymore.

I heard about a Chinese rpg that did something similar. The conversations were wide open, and instead of clicking through limited dialog choices, you had to type your responses. You get some guidance on what the purpose of the conversation is, but that’s it. Like: “cheer this person up!”

I think it’s a cute idea but ultimately too unpredictable using the current generation of LLMs.

IMO AI is better used as a game design tool than something running live in game. I remember running around so many open world games where it was obvious you had left the area you were meant to be in. Suddenly there’s few monsters, no quests or NPCs, and the least thought given to foliage and landscape decisions. BORING. I feel like that’s a great use of AI - create a non-critical landscape players can continue to explore, even if they won’t make any progress on the main quest/story lines.

A game studio isn’t going to pay designers to create rich experiences in unnecessary parts of the world, but they should be willing to pay designer to review a region like that and get it into the game.

This exchange made him start the fire, despite his claims to the contrary.

Too late. He died today.

This is a good compromise. When I was tight on backup space, I just had a “backup” script that ran nightly and wrote all the media file names to a text file and pushed that to my backup.

It would mean tons of redownloading if my storage array failed, but it was preferable to spending hundreds of dollars I didn’t have on new hardware.

Holy shit, this has every cert I’ve ever generated or renewed since 2015.

Well that was fun! I’m confident this project isn’t malicious. It’s for sure coded using AI, and I think that’s what triggered a smear campaign. This removed Reddit post looks like there is just a downvote brigade out to get the project because the author admitted to using AI.

The only network traffic it’s made when I monitored it was local. Certainly nothing went to Asia.

I think it tries to solve a neat problem. There’s so many features packed in that it’s obviously vibe coded. That’s probably a huge turn off for AI detractors. If you don’t care about that, I think you’re safe to give it a try.
