Interesting, i’ve heard of it, but I’ve never played it. I’ll have to check it out.

Don’t. Just because a conflict exists doesn’t mean you need to pick a side.

I would not say “often” better academically. It’s up to the resources the parents have. Poor families doing homeschooling end up poorly educated, wealthy educated families are more able to educate. Humans already did this up until the advent of modern public education systems.

In a public school, the idea is that both the rich family and the poor family are offered the same education, and this is better for society as a whole. I will agree that public education isn’t perfect and could be improved in almost every way, but opting for private education is leaving your child’s future up to random chance as dictated by your social status.

At some point you will try to socialize your homeschooled kid. If you live in a rough community where drugs, gangs, and teen pregnancies are relatively common, you won’t be able to avoid the same influences you’re trying to avoid in public schools. Except now it will be all they know.

IMO exposure to a larger population of people in a public school gives kids more reference for all the kinds of people in society, and control over who they want to interact with. Then it’s the parent’s job to make them feel empowered (not pressured) to make the best choice they have available.

If there is an HR dept, I would raise this with them. If you are no longer on the clock at 5pm, there’s nothing stopping you from hopping out of the vehicle wherever it is and going home. Keep a record of everything, what was asked of you and when, what action you took and when, and maybe even have a witness sign off. If they try to fire you with cause, you can sue for wrongful termination. Just remember that HR is there to prevent the company from being sued, they are not your friend.

At the end of the day, the real solution is obvious: this is what unions are for. Collective bargaining is how you even the odds with greed.

One of those is turn based, the other is a real time simulation. How were you envisioning time would pass?

Massive Chalice comes to mind, but it’s more like tactics + sim.

A bunch of people who couldn’t tell their left shift from their right shoelace think you don’t know what you’re talking about lol.

I agree, to a person who knows the machine, an AI is like a compiler: you know the output you’re going for, the tool helps you get there faster. Expecting you to do something the slow way because someone else doesn’t know how to code is nonsense. There is a massive difference between using it as a tool, and blindly taking generated code.

If the internet existed in the 70s, I bet people would have asked for a disclaimer on compiled assembly.

I’ve not heard of those, but to me this is a competitor to the much more ubiquitous Obsidian. Which works great, and has a whole community of support, but is not open source.

Personally, I don’t need my notes app not be responsible for syncing across devices either. I already have that for other file types (photos, media, etc).

I’m not against these features being added, but this app is young, afaik it’s one person writing it, so I’d rather see their time be spent making the note taking experience as good as it can be.

I also generally wouldn’t trust one person to properly audit the security of the networking and encryption features. If I wanted those features, I’d still give the community time to peruse the codebase.

I think it makes sense to handle this at a lower level. After using other notes apps, the thing I want is for it to not have some arbitrary opaque file hierarchy that locks me into it. I want a plain dir of .md files, some resources they link to, and that’s it. If I want disk encryption, there are solutions for that. I can use something like LUKs to encrypt my whole drive, or even just the notes directory.

For android, afaik everything uses disk encryption by default.

The unix philosophy is do one thing really well. We don’t need a note taking app that also handles encryption.

No one has ever gone out of their way to run windows. At least not in 25y.

That seems as reasonable as suggesting they could pass a law requiring everyone to hire a govt licensed computer user in order to interact with their devices, and otherwise touching a keyboard or touchscreen would be illegal.

It doesn’t feel like a realistic estimation of what they would actually try to do. There’s too much that is currently dependent on Linux, you’d do better to just dismantle and ban the internet.

Doesn’t even make sense. Virtually all Linux distros can function completely offline. How do you do age verification completely offline? Classic politician who doesn’t understand tech trying to look like they’re doing something to save the kids.

Damn…any good forks of bcache yet?

Yeah, my first thought was Kveikur. Such a vibe.

They’re mostly not AI specialized, though. That’s why they’re so inefficient and why their demand contends with consumer hardware in the first place. Which makes sense, because AI is still in rapid development. They don’t know what the right answer is yet, but they know they need a bunch of fast memory and parallel processing.

The AI specific hardware being added to GPUs is still pretty general. CUDA cores are just parallel compute. Tensor cores are for doing parallel compute with fewer bits of precision. Yes, there are niche applications for fp16 and lower, but rendering is one of those applications.

We also need to accept that this isn’t the crypto bubble, this is the dotcom bubble. Like it or not, there is a real advancement in technology happening here, and it’s not going away. The bubble will pop because there’s far more money being invested per unit time than can be returned as profit per unit time, not because the tech is a farce. Yes, 99% of AI applications right now are a farce, but that 1% are giving us actual useful abilities we simply didn’t have before. Point being: our world after the bubble pops will still make use of AI, so any hardware over-production will still be useful to the general public for AI applications.

I agree. But you see how that’s beside the point, right?

The big problem is that nobody thinks about those people that don’t have the hardware right now.

Literally yes they do, because even though they don’t have the latest and greatest hardware, they have some money to spend. That’s the argument being made: until now the assumption was that new hardware would get cheaper over time, and people would gradually move to new hardware. Devs spend years making games, and historically bank on that assumption so that when the game comes out, it has the largest audience available to purchase it.

The fact that it looks like that won’t be the case in the near future means devs have to shift their behavior to accommodate what their playerbase has, i.e. continue developing and optimizing the same hardware.

That said, this is all temporary. Whether they widen the pipeline, or the AI bubble bursts, in 2-3 years there will be a deluge of hardware hitting markets. (Provided trade/actual wars don’t get in the way, which is the bigger concern imo).

For the record, the science shows that Destruction Therapy is not effective at actually managing anger, and may actually cause more harm long term, as you’re normalizing that behavior in your brain.

But as for why we don’t see more games along those lines, I don’t know. It does seem like a genre that would sell well right now. I remember there was a series of desktop games when I was a kid called Stress Reducer that would give you a set of animated weapons to “destroy” your windows desktop (an image of it).

I’ve invented a new type of Vegetarianism: instead of eating veggies for every meal, occasionally you’ll add meat to your diet as well. It’s really the best of both worlds.

I don’t know what is typical, but when I use AI locally I’ve been running llama-cpp with models grabbed from HF (ex. QwenCoder). Then in my VS code plugin (RooCode) I use the “OpenAI compatible” option to point it at my local server.

Not sure how hard that is to get working, but my hope is that “OpenAI Compatible” helps.

Yes, and it is a masterclass in both narrative and environmental story telling.
