2·20 days agoI know we had games. I think we borrowed an Atari for a while. I definitely remember the Superman Atari game.
But the first one I remember buying was when we got an NES. I think my dad went all out and got Super Mario Bros 3 and Megaman 2 all at once. What a day.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•It's free real estate
33·1 month agoIt was a list:
- to explore strange new worlds
- seek out new life and new civilizations
- boldly go where no one has gone before
^^^ Yes OP! More info please!
Or maybe he’s not getting it because he turned into Mr Hyde I guess?
Mr Hyde is the crazy one though

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•‘I Didn’t Vote for This’: A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump CountryEnglish
96·4 months ago“You cannot fire our firefighters. You cannot fire our trail crews. You have to have selective logging, and water restoration, and healthy forests,” Zink said. “People in Washington D.C., on the West Coast, East Coast — they don’t understand what that means to us out here.”
Meanwhile people from all those places yelling at him that Trump will cut all those things and to not vote for that
Also probably if you played Descent

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC
12·7 months agoI have almost this exact mini PC. It was ok for things like StarCraft 2 and the Sims 4. I tried playing a newer game like Stormgate and it couldn’t keep up.
I’ve since spent a bunch of money getting an eGPU set up, and have yet to have more than 5 gaming sessions in a row without a crash.
I probably could have saved a lot of money if I’d just gotten a PC with some headroom for upgrading, but I really didn’t think I’d want to.
I’m just happy that I saw some news on it instead of nothing

Technology@lemmy.zip•Chatbots can be manipulated through flattery and peer pressureEnglish
1·8 months agoOk, that’s easy. If I make an LRM model of your dead grandma, is that your grandma? Why not? What’s different?
Your bug fixing teams are begging for automation. That tells me you have an unsustainable setup. You are providing a bug fix suggestion tool, I don’t see how that fixes your problem. Seems like you need better coding practices and possibly more people.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Chatbots can be manipulated through flattery and peer pressureEnglish
3·8 months agoA couple of things:
- we are talking about chat bots talking to people in this post, and how you can steer the simulated conversation towards whatever you want
- it did not debug anything, a human debugged something and wrote about it. Then that human input and a ton of others were mapped into a huge probability map, and some computer simulated what people talking about this would most likely say. Is it useful? Sure, maybe. Why didn’t you debug it yourself?

7·8 months agoI will 100% admit to not reading papers and keeping up to date. I went ahead and spent about 30m looking up various explanations and summaries of LRMs. Ok, so you take an LLM and tell it to break the problem down first. It’s still not reasoning. It’s running a simulation of a natural language conversation, and giving you the center of mass of the statistical distribution for the intermediate steps. Does this kinda sorta replicate the sounds a human makes? Absolutely. But it’s irresponsible and unethical to make any claims that this is a human like entity you can chat with, or that it is doing any reasoning.
When I get some time I’ll check this paper out: https://ml-site.cdn-apple.com/papers/the-illusion-of-thinking.pdf

5·8 months agoNo, just because they say they want it to reason, does not mean it does




I have yet to be able to vibe code anything relatively involved. The closest I’ve come is a ffmpeg wrapper script to edit out scenes from a video with a fade in/fade out title card. But even then, I ended up at some point having to debug and add my own arg support because it kept screwing things up. The first draft did do something, though.
I find at this point that it’s still only useful if I have a very clear goal in mind with a lot of context on the area I need to make changes to. That lets me get a more specific prompt, and then I’ll still need to review the output. I have only ever gotten a successful one shot like this with tests.
