I prefer using my own model for privacy reasons. A crude summary is fine, I don't need GPT4 level quality. My PC has the capacity to run llama 2; I need a model to summarize my personal text documents and am looking for one optimized

My sentiments exactly! It is a tribute to the wine developers that these 20 year old games run as well (or better) on linux and modern hardware than on the ancient PC's and MS-Windows versions they were designed for. One recommendati

The racing sims include dozens of cars and tracks, Combat flight sims, which simulate entire wars, include terrain and hundreds of vehicles and munitions. There are dozens of games in this package. There's no need to install them all

The car and flight sims are engineering simulations - differential equation solvers employing multiple degrees of freedom, flight models and tire models validated vs. data, etc. Game manuals, which are hundreds of pages long, describe how

There's a python script that makes the organization more clear. Once you've installed the games package, run "./launcher.py" at the ubuntu command line to see a text menu "Top Level Menu" which launches t

The open source clones of Alpha Go are my favorite AI sparring partners. There are several to choose from, and also several Go board applications. My favorite open source Alpha Go clone is Katago https://github.com/lightvec

It's noteworthy that two people who worked on Dam Busters also worked on Star Wars 20 years later, as described in link [0] above.

So the original Star Wars, which has spawned so many copycat movies, is itself a copycat movie? Let's see. The formula seems to be: take two successful old movies, such as Battle of Midway and Hidden Fortress, and create a mashup set

Debates about which sim is more accurate bring up a philosophical question about sim design. My take is that designing a realistic simulation is like solving a physics problem, in that it's impossible to capture all of reality with a

I agree completely. The other two games in esports-for-engineers are open source, while the GPL demo is free but not open source. (I didn't have enough space to explain this distinction in my one-line hacker news post.) iRacing is cer
