Fan Mission: "The Maybury Idol, Part 1: A Trip to the Museum"
taffernicus replied to Jnon's topic in Fan Missions
congratz on the release Is this supposed to be impassable or not? Because I can't get out this way : that's in the building where Jeffery Combs is located i'm on TDM 2.14 -
I remember posting this before, but the context was different. In current affair, I don’t like Sony’s decision to remove the disc drive from the next-gen PS, and I can’t believe Microsoft’s Xbox is following suit. this is a satirical remark from gamesir and dominos pizza: Domino's mocks Sony's digital-only PlayStation shift with viral post

I wish i had winter here The effects of climate change are indeed gradual. I have a special focus on arctic cold air outbreak or polar vortex The closest places I can visit are Japan and New Zealand which have winters Here, I can only enjoy the mountainous areas with their fairly thick fog.

If heat waves are becoming more common in the 21st century, I’m curious about the pre-industrial era (or did it even exist?). The bad news is that they’re becoming more common

I’m confused as to why houses with high ceilings aren’t popular in my area; they seem somewhat effective for tropic hot weather and high humidity. From what I’ve observed, walls are rarely insulated here, but this can be compensated for with thick walls in the case of houses. Eaves vents seem to help, but I still rarely see them installed. Roof vents ( Roof turbine vents or whirlybirds) seem to only help reduce moisture and temperature in the attic, these can be paired with eave vents And don’t forget plenty of windows. A concerning trend is interior doors that lack ventilation space above them or in the door itself, resulting in stuffy air. If none of that works out, I’m going to crank up that 9,000 BTU split AC. But it can’t run 24/7 because of the electricity consumption, I think I’ll go with a Mitsubishi inverter air conditioner.I rarely see centralized HVAC systems for residential use it's all window AC unit, portable and split Aircon unless it's SOHO building,apartment,etc *I hope the heat wave passes /over soon

taffernicus started following Poll: Why don't you use Linux?
-
regarding linux on old / low end hardware, MGLRU is the least discussed topic, but it seems it will have an impact on low-end devices. The “MGLRU on Android” section in this post is also interesting (since it was already implemented on Android 3–4 years ago) : What is to be done about MGLRU? [LWN.net] The Linux kernel 6.1 introduces a more mature MGLRU feature i found the nice layman writeup as well : Android Memory Management is Getting Better with a New Linux Kernel Feature

Well, I’m still keeping an eye on the news to see which divisions are being affected and which ones might face cutbacks. Meanwhile, government agencies here seem to love creating animations and infographics using AI, and to be honest, it’s boring. They used to be able to hire graphic designers or animator for that matters

Based on my observations, at the same price point, the equivalent build is a better value, especially when paired with SteamOS—in fact, SteamOS is the one getting more attention. My concern is what will happen if the PS6 or Xbox follow the same pricing standard, which is just a hunch of mine.

anyway i have full access on Gemini pro and gemini apps and other AI model at my workplace but rarely use it lmao Yeah, I also hope those cards wont be ultra-luxurious anymore

I somewhat agree with the part about “making us dumber.” I try not to rely too heavily on AI or show cognitive surrender when using it. Especially when it comes to completely eliminating fact-checking. In my opinion, AI can certainly be used as a second opinion, but the decision ultimately comes down to you. Lately, many people have been touting AI’s ability to boost productivity by 10x—including some of my acquaintances who’ve said the same thing. The “10x developer” buzzword, which has been around for a while, is starting to make more sense. It’s undeniable that there are many types of AI, but I’m particularly concerned about these large language models (LLMs and gen AI). Back when buzzword like “deep learning,” , "reinforcement learning", “expert systems,” and “neural networks” were all the rage, it was clear that many people wanted to dive into the technical aspects especially the calculations behind them. AI development actually teaches you not to hate math like advanced statistics and when it comes to LLMs, there’s SFT, RM, and RLHF behind the scenes. But what’s worrying now is that many people I’ve met (including the developers mentioned earlier) have been more focused solely on the prompting aspect for generaive AI or LLM. Of course, people do tend to focus on specific areas of knowledge based on their needs so i cant fully blame them Whenever people mention “Gen AI,” I always think of generative adversarial networks which were all the rage back in the 2015 and that just shows how out of touch and outdated I am with the world of AI (and this isn’t even my field). 2022-2026 AI progress is basically too much for me and hard to keep up i am concerned with reassurance seeking and validation epidemic, Here's an article that's pretty close to that : When AI Becomes a Compulsion: Reassurance Chatting. Sometimes AI pleases you too much and i think they're optimized to please, not for the truth Basically, I treat AI as a tool for executing mundane tasks and am aware of its limitations.

I just want to share this: https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-andrew-macdonald-ai-token-spending-harder-justify-2026-5 https://lantian.pub/en/article/fun/ai-agent-bankrupted-their-operator-scan-dn42lantian.lantian/ https://www.verysane.ai/p/did-anthropic-ask-for-this By the way, today I was surprised by a website demo created with Vibe Coding by a colleague of mine. One developer was bragging about how cool the new Claude Fable is. Others were complaining about frequently running out of tokens and encountering bugs. I’m often looked at strangely by both my colleagues and acquaintances for rarely using AI for work to create X, Y, Z, and so on. Behind all that, personally, I feel that the excitement and passion were still there before the current LLM craze, back when everyone was still focused on ML buzzwords—how cool Word2Vec, GRU/LSTM, RBMs/DBMs, MoE, Google BERT,probabilistic graphical models, geometric deep learning going beyond euclidean data, and various neural networks were. I followed these discussions on HN throughout 2016–2019/2020. since ChatGPT became a sensation and AI started training on people’s data indiscriminately, it all stopped being fun. From there, I also came across discussions about books authored by Peter Norvig and Marvin Minsky, as well as articles about them. I also learned about Geoffrey Hinton from there. I’m glad I found that forum. The overuse of AI-related jargon has also contributed to that dwindling excitement. What I’m still curious about for the game developers here is: how does AI help with your workflow? *edited : An interesting topic from Ilya Sutskever’s podcast,i remember this came up there : Ilya Sutskever — We're moving from the age of scaling to the age of research

My view on current hardware prices is becoming increasingly contorted and biased. I think $1,000 might eventually become the standard price for all hardware, given how random and unpredictable pricing is right now. Or maybe that will be the benchmark for “cheap” prices starting in 2026 and beyond until the next AI boom crash which is nowhere in sight. to put it simple : perhaps $1000 is the new "cheap"? If it’s priced that high but performance is capped at 1080p and isn’t all that great, it seems like a big loss and a DOA.

gonna say that i stil like this band to date
