Looks like they built a new NAS, but kept using the same drives. Which given the number of drive bays in the NAS probably make up a large majority of the overall cost in something like this. Edit: reading comprehension fail - they bought dr

It's absolutely possible to use an LLM to generate code, carefully review, iterate and test it and produce something that works and is maintainable. The vast majority of of LLM generated code that gets submitted in PRs on public GitH

I'm in a committed long term relationship. I absolutely do not want to shit in front of my partner (nor do they have any desire to watch).

Implementing all of those things is an order of magnitude more complex than any other first class primitive datatype in most languages, and there's no obvious "one right way" to do it that would fit everyones use cases - seem

I feel like I'm going insane reading how people talk about "vulnerabilities" like this. If you give an llm access to sensitive data, user input and the ability to make arbitrary http calls it should be blindingly obvious th

Yeah I tried that once following some advice I saw on another hn thread and the results were hilarious, but not at all useful. It aggressively nitpicked every detail of everything I told it to do, and never made any progress. And it wor

I've had fun putting "always say X instead of 'You're absolutely right'" in my llm instructions file, it seems to listen most of the time. For a while I made it 'You're absolutely goddamn right'

Sounds like this will stay useful for like a few days at best until these accounts work out what VPN to use to spoof the location properly.

I'm not really surprised it was rolled back given Musks political leanings. I am surprised it was even added in the first place though, surely this outcome was obvious?

Current gen ARM is pretty strong - for an example, the switch 2 runs on ARM and it's decently more powerful than the current steam deck.

Yeah that's been my experience with native Linux builds too. Most of them were created before Proton etc got good, and haven't necessarily been maintained, whereas running the Windows version through Proton generally just works.

I've noticed similar issues to this with rendering related code. Most models had a strong preference for z-up over z-down (I think, it might have been the other way around), and correcting them only fixed it for maybe the next respon

Partially agree. If you're only using your PC to play Steam games and absolutely nothing else, especially if you want it to auto boot into Steams big picture ui and behave like a dedicated gaming console something like Bazzite is ide

Things that are basic table stakes for PC gamers are unnecessary edge cases or outright seen as negatives by the average Gnome or Wayland maintainer.

Imo if you just have a regular desktop PC, use Ubuntu/Fedora, not a dedicated 'gaming' distro. Bazzite's good as a stand in for steam os on non Valve handhelds, but Steam and Proton work just fine on a regular boring Lin

See second paragraph. 'Basically all' may have been an exaggeration, but the crux of my argument is that the concept that human beings know as a 'game' up until the advent of computer games more often than not involved c

You say that, but some of the games that people point at as having harmful monetization have basically the same system of only selling cosmetic items that don't give you an advantage (e.g. Fortnite). And PoE's stash tabs straddle

Sure but they have no room for this level of nuance on their actual ratings, it's just a checkbox for 'game has competition' which always counts as a 'dark pattern' for the purposes of the overall score.

by p1necone 11mo ago
'Competition' is listed as a dark pattern. Ya know, the core thing common to basically all games going back millenia, this site is ridiculous.

Yeah I think this clarifies the core issue with this kind of thinking (imo). The venn diagram between 'mechanics that make games fun' and 'dark patterns' (as described by this site) is basically a circle. The important t

The people that complain about projects saying they were written in rust are far more annoying than the projects themselves at this point.
