Thanks, this is exactly what I was trying to ask. What “motivation” potential modders have.
wotc would have to “admit” to doing what the community only suspects (deliberately restricting these tools in the contracts) to harass modders, right? That could be a PR disaster, hence I hope that means they’ll turn a blind eye.
What are people doing with these super expensive boards now? Like, I know there’s always the “top 1% first-person-shooter” niche that wants that last sub-millisecond of latency, playing games that don’t really respond to 3D cache, but… what else? That’s not a big niche. Modern CPUs have like no overclocking headroom, and even at stock are pushed way too hard.
I’d only spend that kind of money on an embedded Strix Halo board, or HEDT with tons of PCIe lanes. I just don’t see why you’d shell out for Arrow Lake like that when you can get 95% of the performance for a fraction of the price and power usage elsewhere.
The motherboard doesn’t matter AMD’s 3D cache CPUs, which are king for these kinds of games. From what I’ve seen, you’d be crazy not to get either a 5700X3D or a 7800X3D with a cheap mobo.
I am not tapped into the BG3 mod community, is stuff going to take off like Skyrim?
It seems more “character oriented” and less sandboxy, so that’s wishful thinking I suppose.
Good.
All this bill would have done is given OpenAI/Anthropic and such an effective monopoly (and probably destroy the planet with their insane scaling schemes) by destroying the open model ecosystem. I think fediverse vs. corporate social media is a good analogy, and this is kinda like sniping the Fediverse because it’s “too dangerous” if it gets too big, without actually being specific on how to deal with that, but actually sniping it because its a competitive threat.
And yes, OpenAI opposed this, but that was lip service. Don’t believe a word that comes out of Altman’s mouth.
Isn’t that a massive security risk?
Like, what if the U.S was using Roscosmos satellite links in drones? I’d certainly be raising an eyebrow.
It’s still everywhere in my news/internet diet.
It’s bleeding, for sure, but it’s big. Its gone bad. But I think its premature to say its collapse is a good thing, because it just won’t go away.
It’s not dead though, it’s still linked to everywhere, from big news to niche communities because it still has that critical mass and inertia.
And I have to be cynical of the Fediverse, but realistically, what replaces it, at least here in the US? Discord? No, thanks, I’d at least rather have information be public.
I’m speaking as someone who has never used Twitter, but I can’t ignore it, as much as I’d like to.
The behavior is configurable just like it is on linux, UAC can be set to require a password every time.
But I think its not set this way by default because many users don’t remember their passwords, lol. You think I’m kidding, you should meet my family…
Also, scripts can do plenty without elevation, on linux or Windows.
TBH this is a great space for modding and local LLM/LLM “hordes”

Futurama had it right, spammers are the ultimate destroyers.
Hmm, what if the shadowbanning is ‘soft’? Like if bot comments are locked at a low negative number and hidden by default, that would take away most exposure but let them keep rambling away.
Trap them?
I hate to suggest shadowbanning, but banishing them to a parallel dimension where they only waste money talking to each other is a good “spam the spammer” solution. Bonus points if another bot tries to engage with them, lol.
Do these bots check themselves for shadowbanning? I wonder if there’s a way around that…
This. I’m surprised Lemmy hasn’t already done this, as it’s such a huge glaring issue in Reddit (that they don’t care about, because bots are engagement…)
GPT-4o
Its kind of hilarious that they’re using American APIs to do this. It would be like them buying Ukranian weapons, when they have the blueprints for them already.
Jokes aside (and this whole AI search results thing is a joke) this seems like an artifact of sampling and tokenization.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Gemini tokens for XTX are “XT” and “X” or something like that, so it’s got quite a chance of mixing them up after it writes out XT. Add in sampling (literally randomizing the token outputs a little), and I’m surprised it gets any of it right.
The plan is to monetize the AI results with ads.
I’m not even sure how that works, but I don’t like it.
I dunno. My experience on Reddit is that even bringing up the word “AI” in discussions outside of it will almost get be doxxed. I asked a TV fandom if cleaning up a bad release with diffusion models and some “non AI” filters sounded interesting, and I felt like I had triggered Godwin’s law.
I did bring this up in AskLemmy, and got a mostly positive response, but I also felt like it was a tiny subset of the community.
On my G14, I just uses the ROG utility to disable turbo and make some kernel tweaks. I’ve used ryzenadj before, but its been awhile. And yes I measured battery drain in the terminal (but again its been awhile).
Also throttling often produces the opposite result in terms of extended battery life as it likely takes more time in the higher states to do the same amount of work whereas running at a faster clock speed, the work is completed faster and the CPU returns to a lower less energy using state quicker and resides there more of the time.
“Race to sleep” is true to some extent, but after a certain point the extra voltage one needs for higher clocks dramatically outweighs the benefit of the CPU sleeping longer. Modern CPUs turbo to ridiculously inefficient frequencies by default before they thermally throttle themselves.
Yes, but this is an offline game, and I’ve never seen such a warning without some plausible justification. There’s no basis for interfering with an online component here, so what would Larian even say as they sent warnings?
Using an legally purchased offline game “illegally” would be quite a precedent, no?
Yeah. Larian didn’t seem very interested in blocking this capability (they left all this stuff in the executable), like they did the absolute minimum they were contractually obligated to do lol.
