I’ve never met any Minecraft player that played Story Mode, but a few had primary school siblings that did.

SpaceX will not be selling itself to Boeing, surprising absolutely nobody

Gabe has said multiple times he would never sell Valve to Microshaft.

Every time I see these “rumors” I can’t help but think that they are a malicious tactic by Microshaft to try and influence their more longshot buyout offers-- Microshaft really really wants Valve, this has been known for at least a decade. And some overzealous young execs are foolishly ready to try and pressure Valve with these bullshit tactics, completely unaware of what dangerous game they are playing legally.

I have no doubt in my mind Valve will never be sold to Microshaft or come anywhere close to it so long as Gabe or his confidants are at the helm. They are ex-Microsoft employees. They built Windows 3.0. They know it’s inner workings and failings very intimately and they only begrudgingly tolerate Windows because it’s the dominant market share. That’s the whole reason SteamOS and Steam Deck exist, to chip away at Microsoft’s attempts to monopolize PC gaming. And that’s exactly why Microsoft is hoarding IP and restricting their most prestigious titles, like Halo, to Windows through anticheat.

Whoever is starting these rumors are either pathetically stupid and attention hungry or are spreading misinformation in a hail mary at the behest of Microshaft.

Bookmarking your comment so I can come back to it in a couple hours, if I hopefully remember to.

But yes, almost. I don’t think the interrupt is necessary and the return isn’t under certain architectures. I have a doc on my computer somewhere where I was investigating what the absolute minimum was to make a turning complete machine and, to my recollection, there was only 4-6 instructions that were absolutely necessary. The ones I remember off the top of my head are NAND, MOV, JUMPIF, and then I believe I included NOP in accordance with some principle. RET and INT were convenience features in this design.

there is an additional layer to this joke for those who understand turing completeness. And it elevates it to a whole other level of snark.

I literally said that I take the bus. And the shuttle.

Do people consider shuttles and buses the same thing? Because this sounds like a shuttle, which as far as I’m aware is completely different from a bus. I take a shuttle to the airport, which requires a reservation and ~$50 whereas I take a bus to get around town and it’s typically free.

Essentially it sounds like they are trying to dip into the shuttle market, not the inner-city bus market. Though maybe both?

So Team Fortress 3

Yes. That takes SIGNIFICANTLY less time and energy than proper (or even improper) teaching.

Yes. I am refusing to give a fish, and stating bluntly I have no time or energy to teach them to fish. I acknowledge they need to know how to fish, and was making light of it, now I am adamantly proclaiming that they need to know how and where to fish before they meet an orca.

I, quite bluntly, see no good reason to advise an internet stranger on their security practices when they can learn for themselves.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. But I’ve no time to teach strangers the beginnings of fishing, let alone what they need know in order to fish safely.

oh you sweet summer child

enjoy the CVEs

Let me reiterate: I have seen worse.

In fact, Disney once paid a lot of money for a game with even less concept art and design. Unsurprisingly, this game was never released and very little record of it remains. And when I say it was worse. For those who think they know: yes, I’m talking about the viking bears.

You know what’s ironic about all this is, as someone who has seen game dev pitches (not good ones), they arguably had their shit together more than most aspiring game devs. Looking back at the skeletals, ya know they actually may have had a chance of getting somewhere. They knew absolutely nothing about the technical side, but hardly any game devs actually do. They probably still stand a better chance today of developing this than some game studios asset-mashing in Unity or Unreal. That’s the true state of game dev.

Sadly for me it looks like I’ll need to go the DIY route with an esp32 board and an e-ink display, and drop any kind of stt + tts plans

Latte Panda 2 or just wait a couple years. It’ll happen eventually because it’s so obvious it’s literally unpatentable.

In all reality, it is a ChatGPTitty "fine"tune on some datasets they hobbled together for VQA and Android app UI driving. They did the initial test finetune, then apparently the CEO or whatever was drooling over it and said “lEt’S mAkE aN iOt DeViCe GuYs!!1!” after their paltry attempt to racketeer an NFT metaverse game.

Neither this nor Humane do any AI computation on device. It would be a stretch to say there’s even a possibility that the speech recognition could be client-side, as they are always-connected devices that are even more useless without Internet than they already are with.

Make no mistake: these money-hungry fucks are only selling you food cans labelled as magic beans. You have been warned and if you expect anything less from them then you only have your own dumbass to blame for trusting Silicon Valley.

Just give up hope. It’s really not worth it.

I loved Pop!_OS as it made Debian/Ubuntu extremely usable as a daily driver. Finally I got fed up with outdated package bullshit coming from different angles and went to Rocky. Wish I did it sooner.

Appreciate System76, but they’ve dropped the ball hard and I don’t think it’s recoverable
