I’m closing in on 2000 hours, and it’s such a great game if you like challenges and discovery.

I started playing it after one of the devs said, “I don’t think anyone will ever make another game like it.”

It’s a terrific implementation of a very pure concept.

I really hope that, despite the development challenge it may present, “noitalike” becomes a thing.

I think it’s an engine that would integrate really well with ML world/asset generation, too.

Programmers don’t have the luxury of using inferior toolsets.

but for how long?

servers are for availability and storage durability

I think it sounds cool ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Maybe this is the point, but that might cause SUVs to be prohibitively unsafe, because their center of momentum would be so high relative to impact height. For example, if an SUV with one of these low bumpers hit a barrier, it would probably perform a front flip over it 😂

It’s intended to be much more local and decentralized than the fediverse, under the assumption that over time large fedi instances will exhibit the same issues as large centralized social networks (profit seeking, manipulation, etc)

• Instead of many people connecting to the same server, people only connect to people’s devices that they know
• It uses the resources of users “daily driver” devices for hosting
• It leverages “real life” personal connections and trust to deny access to large centralized entities

The internet, in particular social networking, needs to become personal.

I fleshed out an idea for building a personal social infrastructure system that will hopefully accomplish just that, but haven’t put “code to disk” yet.

As time passes it’s becoming more clear that this is ultimately the right way forward, but it’s a big project.

Check out freetheinter.net and send me some feedback :)

Happy to see noita here, it belongs

After 1500 hours I beat nightmare mode, but still haven’t beaten the 33 orb kolmi

I don’t know why more people haven’t mentioned tilix.

Makes me wonder if I’m missing out by using it 😂

hardware deceleration?

I’m in favor of a “ML-GPL”, where models must be made available for free to those whose data was used to train them.

more businesses could facilitate more work, right?

oddly enough, there are models trained to generate different angles of a given scene!

you’re right about the importance of trust. leveraging and scaling interpersonal trust is the key to consensus.

I’m already benefiting from it on a daily basis, and I’m neither of those people.

Capitalists will always capitalize, but that doesn’t necessarily negate usefulness. On the contrary, by some estimates llama3 cost nearly $1B to develop, yet it’s free on huggingface for anyone to download and use.

I’m not trying to argue with you.

It seemed that you were trying to make sense of the gun nut mindset. Gun nuts do indeed think firearm ownership is a fundamental human right, so considering it as such is necessary to understand their perspective.

If you really want to understand their perspective, consider an analogous argument involving some other fundamental human right, ideally one that you strongly support.

An easy one is free speech. Many countries without this right believe it is dangerous and stupid, using a litany of rational assertions and examples to justify themselves.

Consider all of the harm caused by people spreading lies and propaganda. The right to free speech ensures the most evil ideas and people can utilize our most powerful social constructs to attack the very foundations that a stable society depends on. etc…

Every right can be abused, and likewise an argument can be formulated against them based on their potential for abuse. Those that support some right typically believe the benefits outweigh the costs.

Hope this helps.
