I’d say 30 GB? Though that seems like an unattainable dream lately. I still remember when the ~4 GB San Andreas felt really huge.

They said “honestly” didn’t they?

That sounds like no one really tried. Like, sure, you’ll get bullshit occasionally, but in the code you know exactly what the NPC is doing, so crafting a prompt based on that is not really that hard and will work most of the time, especially for the simple NPCs.

Just use Mongo, it scales so well!

Never understood why anyone chose Mongo. Though I have some funny memories getting rid of it because it was slowing the app down sooo much.

If you need something for storing JSONs and querying, just use ElasticSearch/OpenSearch.

If you could care less, why don’t you? Grammar stuff aside, as a European I feel pretty good about this. He got what he deserved.

You should see my former bosses, when everyone else was slowly realising AI isn’t a magic tool to solve everything they tripled down and implemented AI into every possible single process in the company.

The AI bullshit is like 40% the reason I left, the other 60% being micromanagement.

Well, computing stuff. In theory anything your PC or phone can do.

Like writing a comment on Lemmy. Or watching YouTube. Or playing Doom.

It will be slow as hell and you’d also have to implement a lot of stuff that has been created IRL for decades, but it’s possible.

A CPU is a CPU, it can do the same things all CPUs can, some are faster, some are slower.

I guess you could eventually run out of space to build the in-game CPU, but I also heard the maps are ridiculously large.

What would you expect out of Russia?

It’s not, it’s a term that means very specific things. Most people don’t even know that, but both free software and open source are not some catch all phrases. And in fact they don’t even mean the same thing.

You can for example have an open source software that’s not free software. The reverse is harder, but IIRC I’ve seen some license that would qualify (it’s been years, maybe I’m misremembering cause I can’t find it anymore).

Well, its importance is IMO overblown. MFA as it’s usually implemented:

• sms
• email
• TOTP

Sms and email are not really secure and TOTP is basically just a second password except you don’t use it directly, but use numbers derived from the password.

The more secure alternatives (hardware keys) are really uncommon even among tech people, let alone the general population.

Not saying I think it’s useless, I use MFA everywhere (because two passwords are better than one) but all in all it’s much less secure than people assume.

I can’t really apply “you don’t understand the code yourself” because I do.

So I do check the code if it’s something critical, but otherwise don’t bother. For example the Lemmy server I’m running I didn’t really check much because it can’t really do any harm to me.

But if I was running Lemmy somewhere on my home network, I’d either isolate it or thoroughly check it (but probably just isolate it from the rest of the network and put it in a VM, nobody’s got the time to read other people’s source code).

Since you’re asking specifically for “on my machine” I usually put stuff I don’t fully trust in a VM.

Well, I use Obtainium to install all my FOSS apps directly from the repository.

I also built a game for kids (available publicly) and then made a plugin just for my kid which includes some licensed characters, for obvious reasons I can’t put that onto the Play Store, so apk installation it is.

SailfishOS os daily drivable IMO.

Take a look at SailfishOS, it’s good.

Eat the rich. I remember when the Twitter account that posted where Musk’s private jet is all the time and holy shit, he travelled a lot.

Like, multiple times a week where this machine that fucks up the environment is used to transport a single person.

Or the disgusting mega yacht that Zuckerberg uses.

During my whole life I’m not gonna destroy the environment like every single one of leeches on society does in a month.

On your local system? In that case yeah, you might have fucked something up, if you for example replaced a root certificate authority or something.

Indeed, why would they do that.

Question is question. It’s made of question. Wtf is this comment?

Well, I do this for a living, so not viable I can get the proper tools. But the minute JetBrains does an Android build, I’m trying it.
