Linus Torvalds would use the philosopher's stone, created by taking the million lives of the ancient kingdom of Xerxes, so long as it output working code.

Please ignore the MTL release of Meremanoid that came out today. We have had a hearty band at work (Chapu, Popi, Mr. Nobody, Misty, Shentok and I) working hard on an all-human patch. Fully playable in English, in it final editing pass now. Popi provided these screencaps today. More news later.

So, "Schrödinger no neko" isn't up your alley? How about a fully 3D JRPG about an amnesiac siren? This is "Shinkai densetsu Meremanoid". Already hacked the thing, got a half-width font, script dumped, the whole kit and caboodle. Ping me if you know Japanese and want to translate it!

That guy can't even do a regular car good. You think he can make it fly?

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

I think this take confuses direct/literal translation with contextually/culturally aware translation and localization. Localization can completely erase things that were originally present, or invent new things that never existed. It's certainly not some inherently benign technique.

I'm not for "direct translation," because it's a mythical concept. Translation is an inherently lossy process. The biggest issues for me come with regards to domestication vs foreignization, and for translators who completely disregard the original script as a chance to write their own stories.

Okay I think I'm starting to get social media. You make bad faith dunks on a single statement made by someone you otherwise probably agree with on most things, judging them solely based on that single interaction. Bonus points if you get your large follower count to bully them. That sound right?

Perhaps when your parent company has a partnership with the entity you're covering in your news outlet, that should be disclosed somewhere?

CW: Suicide Don't be like Aleta. It's not a matter of intelligence. Being desperate for an escape from overwhelming pain is not a personal failure.

It is okay to be mean to chat bots, actually. Polite language and respect reaffirms anthroporphization which is harmful. You do NOT need to be nice to them in order to be nice to humans.

This is why I've said the upper 2-10% "false report" numbers are most likely too high. But this shows that even though younger victims are statistically "more likely" to be believed... They're still far too often treated like liars who waste time rather than defenseless victims who need protection.

Wow, it's like walking to the dark side of the moon, finding accounts like these, many with thousands of followers who hate people like me specifically. "going to be shitting ALL over the non-pragmatic shitprog far left They're worse than MAGA"

Often when I'm on here, part of me always wants to @ people I'm following and ask "hey I'm just curious... why are YOU following THIS person..." I don't do it though because I feel kinda rude... But if I'M following anyone that makes you wonder that, and you follow me, please let me know.

Finally, some good fucking news.

At least $260 billion in data center projects have been cancelled so far this year due to local organizing and opposition, according to Heatmap. heatmap.news/daily/260-bi...

Sure they did, bud.

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps

I kinda wish when people blocked you they had to include a reason like when people got banned from forums/IRC. BLOCKED // Reason: posting toes all the time

It is true that "generation" for the engine's description is meant as in "era" but the system itself is NOT a "world away from GenAI." It specifically states using a standardized language (C#) to help AI "consistently understand, **generate**, and test code."

John Linneman@dark1x.bsky.social

The correct title would be like "Towards a game engine for the AI Generation" basically noting that it's an engine built in the age of AI and they're using it to help track down bugs, improve testing and work with its codebase. I don't love that stuff but it's a world away from GenAI.

It occured to me that most people who viewed my profile on here probably weren't clicking through to my fedi profile just to see my details so I updated my profile to contain the information that's on there, and I'm putting the rest in a pinned post.

I think it might have been that scene in the Tim Burton Batman movie when Selena Kyle falls out of a window and the cats are licking her, and one of the cats legit chews on her finger like it's eating it.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

I haven't visited RGT Repo in a while, but I see now it's filled with untagged AI/Machine Translated titles. On the discussions for these titles, it seems one or two people call it out and are dogpiled by everyone else to just shut up because "something is better than nothing."

In this thread they were called "derailments" by a moderator, and people were told to go to dedicated threads to discuss AI. But there is also a forum rule that prohibits discussion? The ultimate effect in any case is censorship of anyone who disagrees, giving pro-AI projects free reign.

This is a shame, because PPSSPP is one of the best emulators out there. The developer is clearly talented. The argument that "AI is fine if you know what you're doing" doesn't really hold water. It seems to negatively affect the rationale of people of all skill and experience levels.

Heads-up on PPSSPP. Info in the thread on the last versions that don't contain it. The dev has gone off the deep end into Claude is my best friend territory.
