Yeah the internet seems to think coding is an expert thing when 99.9% of coders do exactly what you described. I do it, you do it, everybody does it. Even the people claiming to do big boy coding, when you really look at the details, they’re mostly slapping bog standard code on business needs.

My dream was to get an external one as an additional surface but when I looked it was almost impossible to find one. That was some years ago so the market may have cleared since.

I didn’t find it too silly as it was in context. Just stating his job to contextualize his answer, it didn’t feel to me like he was waving his resume around.

I’m a fan of unusual control surfaces and this thing has had me salivating for years. Sadly they’re pretty difficult to procure so I haven’t had the chance of owning one (and probably realizing they’re not all that great irl)

It’s pretty silly to through around credentials.

What’s the deal with Lemmy being so abrasive all the time. Sometimes I think some of us should be put in time out with just hacker news for a month to teach us some manners…

Real meals come back when you’re out of Rochers and the only sweets left are those disgusting cherry Brandy things.

Boooom dat da mmmmmmmh dat da Hiya

Not everybody is an AI single issue voter

Yes absolutely. Not even repeal the laws, just quietly stop enforcing them and look away while loudly whistling. Doing anything officially will only anger the bully. Just count on the bully’s short attention span and inattention to detail.

It’s actually pretty realistic cause the cop dog never does anything significant it’s always the proletarians builder dog and the garbage truck dog who save the day. But still the cop is the fans favorite for some reason.

You can’t prove that I do, I can’t prove that you do. Those metaphysical arguments don’t have much punch in a scientific conversation.

I think the moat is that when a human is born and their world model starts “training”, it’s already pre-trained by millions of years of evolution. Instead of starting from random weights like any artificial neural network, it starts with usable stuff, lessons from scenarios it may never encounter but will nevertheless gain wisdom from.

I guess that’s where we disagree. I’d rather have sloppy talented bastards than little robots. One Kurt Cobain over a million Joe Satrianis, any time of the year.

You can train a monkey to be rigorous, I’m sure at EA sports they’re really disciplined with their file naming but I’m not gonna play their games to find out.

I mean, it’s a completely reasonable habit that prevents issues of this kind, i’m not disputing that. It’s part of a million little discipline things that will make your life better for an insignificant cost. But it’s also not a big deal and if you start caring about that then you should also care about all the other things that “should already be the standard by most devs”. And then where will you find the time and energy to punch above your weight class and release a masterpiece ? When you engage in that sort of task, you always have to neglect stuff that “should be the standard”. It’s cool and people should be cool about it IMO. Nobody’s gonna love you for being super rigorous about your file naming schemes and never being lazy, they’ll love you cause you have good ideas and work them hard.

I don’t find it nice when the internet is always back-seating every little aspect of what creators do, and being super demanding as if they were a mega corp with infinite resource and not a small group of every day people trying their really best to push out something great in a reasonable time-frame while not burning out. Maybe that’s not what you’re doing, man, it’s just one of my pet peeves.

Every process can be theoretically simple but they never have zero impact. So you come up with this process and some other guy comes up with another, there’s an infinity of things that are simple and quick. Imagine the uber-crunch a small team needs to go through to produce an AA title. It’s just cruel to just come up after the fact and be like “oh yeah you could have done this and that on top of your actual work, it would have added zero quality to the finished product but it’s oh so important to a few people”.

Like… When will gamers ever respect workers giving it their all? They’re just human ffs.

That’s just ridiculous standards when you apply them to a small team doing their best to pump out a unique piece of art. Yeah sure you can add a million processes to avoid inconsequential things like that but that’s time you can’t spend on making a good game. Zero value except for appeasing superstitious busybodies…

I totally missed that ! Thanks for the reference I’ll try to find it.

I used to hang with a crew that was really into crystal pvp, this brings back memories. Personally I find it pretty boring but the coding part on their custom clients was pretty fun.

Yes! I went kind of hard into technical Minecraft during COVID and used it a lot. It’s more of an automation framework, it’s a terrific piece of software but not “AI”.

I’ve dicked around with a baritone+LLM setup but it’s really hard to get the model to do anything worthwhile. The model doesn’t really see the world around it, just whatever textual representation you manage to make of it. It’s slow and frustrating and only gets the very basic tasks right.

I would imagine a vision+interaction model would be leaps and bounds better at any interesting application. Ultimately I’d love to see a civilization of bots building its own base with mega farms and shit…

Honestly I’d be curious about what a couple Minecraft bots could do. If you gave them a roadmap to endgame gear, what kind of farms would they build?

So the boomers are edgy-posting on Lemmy now?
