    That is absolutely not true unless if you have exact word matches, and anyone with half a brain knows it’s not about searching within discord, but about searching outside of it.

    Discord is a black hole of information. What happens inside is unknown from the outside. This is why every single FOSS project using discord loses the right to call themselves FOSS - an issues page is equally free, has way, way better features to relate an issue to patches and releases, and is actually indexable.




  • Don’t even need to make it about code. I once asked what a term meant in a page full of a certain well known FOSS application’s benchmarks page. It gave me a lot of garbage that was unrelated because it made an assumption about the term, exactly the assumption I was trying to avoid. I try to deviate it away from that, and it fails to say anything coherent and then loops back and gives that initial attempt as the answer again. I was stuck unable from stopping it from hallucinating.

    How? Why?

    Basically, it was information you could only find by looking at the github code, and it was pretty straightforward - but the LLM sees “benchmark” and it must therefore make a bajillion assumptions.

    Even if asked not to.

    I have a conclusion to make. It does do the code thing too, and it is directly related. Once asked about a library, and it found a post where someone was ASKING if XYZ was what a piece of code was for - and it gave it out as if it was the answer. It wasn’t. And this is the root of the problem:

    AI’s never say “I don’t know”.

    It must ALWAYS know. It must ALWAYS assume something, anything, because not knowing is a crime and it won’t commit it.

    And that makes them shit.

    I’m over 40 and finding wands in Noita fills me with joy.

    “So, this one homes on enemies, has triple cast and delayed explosions… Hmmm, but what does orbital and bouncy do together?”

    *shoots near beehive*

    >Entire screen explodes

    And I just restart the game with a grin. I feel like that game made what actual magic would be. Starting the game by silently teaching us about the dangers of fire was a stroke of genius. It’s always fire with magic, just weirder, bigger and wilder types of fire, and both me and my enemies don’t command it, we simply live in a world with it. Nothing but a video game could make me experience this. Nothing but a video game could generate near endless amounts of endlessly unlearnable amounts of raging wildfires to be amused by.



  • We literally split the atom and with it, came up with the cleanest and cheapest way to support a large chunk of our energetic needs.

    Then some people did a big boom with it, and then a cartoon decided to draw it as green rods of evil energy, and there, the entire world decided to stop using it. And we’ve not started doing it again properly for several decades, all while we uproot carbon off the biosphere and the ground and into the air so we can boil ourselves to a climatic disaster.

    Aliens would find nothing worth respecting.

    It is quite a weird thread. I’m seeing a lot of people saying Sync is the best, and honestly, it might be, but the logic that the others are outright bad doesn’t fly. The only app that is outright bad is Jerboa, and the only reason to use Jerboa was if you were on here since BEFORE reddit even started the API thing, when it was the only option. We have a TON of options right now. Everyone actually focusing on Jerboa feels like they’re not an actual Lemmy user.





  • Your story reminds me, that in our driving exam, not the actual driving one, but the theory one, I got a single question wrong, and I was not allowed to know which one. If you got more than 3, you’d be told and be allowed to double check if you were scored wrong. But if you pass, you get told that and are expected to move on.

    I asked how the hell that was supposed to help someone learn or be prepared to drive without endangering others, and they just told me I passed, what do I care.

    And honestly, I truly didn’t care, actually, and let it go. I mean, most people in the street drive like shit anyways, and the whole process of getting a license isn’t really “academic”. It’s possible they were being cunts for no reason, it’s also possible they do this on purpose to cheat the scores and just pass people who failed too many times, but it wasn’t a fight worth having to find out.



  • It’s on the internet, it exists to be modified. Tis the law.

    With that said, if I heard that, I’d either do things low profile or I’d not do it at all, because at any point the devs can just intentionally ruin whatever you use to make your app work. And low profile isn’t an option, RiF’s dev will always have at least a couple hundred who will try whatever they make, day 1. In their shoes, I would contact the Tildes dev directly and ask where we stand, then go forward with blessing, or leave.


  • Yeah. Take the state of game emulation for example. Yes, Retroarch DOES have like 500 emulator “”“cores”“”, all of which can be configured from a single general purpose UI and using a single input layer.

    But holy shit does hat UI and input configuration SUCK DONKEY BALLS.

    My Anbernic is very happy running 80% of its consoles though it. But I do wish there was something better looking when I have the actual emulation layer running.
