You can assume these days any indie/emulation/mod project is using AI pretty heavily behind the scenes.

Isn’t this it right here? https://github.com/Djihads80/Eglantine

Something is deterministic if given the same conditions and inputs it produces the same output.

If you give an LLM the same parameters, seed, and prompt, it will produce the same output.

That’s certainly deterministic. As deterministic as any other procedural generation of content.

Good tools have many properties LLMs lack - they are predictable, reliable, deterministic, of bounded function, hopefully simple etc.

These are all things that LLMs have but are typically stripped or hand-waved away for the sake of convenience or ease of use.

Predictability? Reliability? Deterministic, bounded function? The same seed pushed through a model’s weights ends with the same output. You can change the behavior for how the weights are processed, what tokens are more important than others, etc.

Simple they are not and likely won’t be, but most models are way more controllable than most people realize. The problem is the thing that makes them interesting in novel isn’t what we can control about them, it’s about what’s not controlled. The fact that they can produce seemingly novel information is the thing everyone wants to sell, and what everyone thinks they want to buy.

AI (in as far as an LLM is concerned) is a tool being sold, bought, and discussed as if it was something more than what it is, and articles like this don’t help the fantasification and anthropomorphization of them.

Yea your spec was about the same as Gamers Nexus, theirs (and yours) DIY spec wasn’t much more powerful than the steam machine:

Here’s the video talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QzlDewigE

It’s not worth the cost.

For those of us with already existing hardware, but Gamer’sNexus showed that a system built today with comparable specs costs about the same.

If you’re building a system today you’re staring down the exact same Sam Altman shaped wall that Valve is.

Usually to make numbers bigger you have to hit the little plus sign then hit another number

Works the same way as any other software optimization: lower quality computation as a shortcut.

The predicted frames don’t use the same full stack of data that a true frame uses to render, they just use the previous frames data and the motion vectors. The rest is a very efficient nueral-network guessing algorithm based on those two pieces of data instead of the full shader stack.

I think beeper plus has a bunch of integrations, I wouldn’t be surprised if that included LLMs

You can use matrix to bridge all those to an internal matrix server.

If you want a solution where that’s pretty much already done you can try Beeper

Why are all these pills shaped like suppositories

The program I use with WINE requires network access to authenticate and because it was for audio production, it had access to my filesystem for samples.

Ten bucks says you downloaded a compromised VST.

I think a good evolution of roguelite meta-progression is actually extraction mechanics.

Like escape from duckov etc. is essentially a roguelite where you have to survive and extract with your meta items, which I think is better for keeping you on your toes and feels less “grindy” than traditional roguelite meta-currency.

There’s a grease monkey script that lets you download collections in one go without the client

Limo is closer to Mod Organizer than Nexus Mod Manager (honestly the only interesting part of the nexus one is the mod collections feature for “mod packs”)

Just in time for disc rot to set in

Most AAA studios at this point have in-house AIs and training, I’m not sure it’s the equalizing factor people think it is.

For a lot of people for a long time your insurance card (that didn’t have a photo) was the only “identification” you had. Otherwise you had to bring your school ID, work ID etc.

Most people don’t have drivers licenses cause they take the train. When you sign up for banks etc you usually have to get a bunch of official documentation from the local ward office with your information.

Proof of identity in Japan has always been a bit of a hazy problem. You sign most documents still with a family stamp, so the idea of what legally is defined as identifying is kind of vague.

Most local offices aren’t networked up, so when you move you have to register with your local ward office and the japanese beauricratic army goes and gets the previous ward office to fax over your info.

“My Number” is the japanese governments attempt to get all that stuff wired together in one database.

Yes the “my number card” (national ID) was mostly a volunteer thing but now that it’s needed for health insurance it’s required of everyone

Japan just hooked up the national health insurance to the national ID.
