I desperately need the whole gameplay video with narration. This is beyond awesome. Which game is this? Doesn’t look like Warhammer…

Hey, can’t write directly to you, so I’ll leave the comment. Thanks for your blog post about iTerm permissions. I wasted a whole day today trying to debug kubectl connection until I found your blog. Huge thanks. If you’re ever in Zürich, reach out for a beer!

Please explain me the logic. If by “robots” they mean AI then yes, they do pay taxes. AI is a service like Netflix and Steam…

Do you know if there are any web APIs planned to manage these consistently across platforms? Seems like it should be a standard…

I was checking comments to see if someone will mention that. Thank you 😊
I used to teach JavaScript and React and one of the first lesson was - never use w3chools, use MDN, even if W3schools is ranked higher in Google.

Is there a “Software Architecture” starter pack?

Path of Exile… As expected login servers are down. Is somebody actually playing after 4 hours from “Early Release”?

Next is we return to people having their blogs on personal domains and writing meaningful and valuable thoughts… Not posting “attention attracting pictures maybe” or am I going too far?

Situation
Task

STAR technique. Now replace “Task” with “Challenge” and you have SCAR, which not only sounds cool, but lets you say in a husky voice: “I need real leaders with SCARs in my team”.

And this term reflects the reality of work much better too.

“Show me your SCARs…”

Hot from publishing! My weekend read. Would gladly tag Martin Dilger, but I think he’s not on BlueSky yet.

Called Microsoft today, got a voice bot who could not switch to English and did not recognize “Azure” as a Microsoft product. Hung up on me afterwards. AI will take our jobs… right.

Oh well…

Will the corporate communication become a game of both parties using ChatGPT to artificially make the language more “corporate”?

- ChatGPT, tell Bob his plan is shit, but make it sound professional…
- Hey ChatGPT, Fred sent me this wall of text, what he means?
- That your plan is shit

Always on the outlook for great games to play with friends. Especially with a settings with rich lore. Would love to try it!

Missed that window of opportunity to buy PS5 30th anniversary controller, while it was in stock in Switzerland. Now they are re-sold for 120-150 bucks. Is it still in stock anywhere in Europe?

Training for a marathon in Autumn. So far this is as much as I can run in one go.

Time for a small upgrade. Installing separate SSDs to have dedicated hard drives for AI experiments. Still not sure which flavor of Linux to install as the host system.

Same as with everything Linux and deployment. Majority of developers are comfortable to rely on abstraction layers and have very little interest in how software actually operates beyond the local environment.

For me it could be a reason to feel proud even. “My knowledge contributed to this model and helped to make it better”. Seriously… it is like blaming Google for indexing sites (almost).

I understand why LLM training could be a concern for artists. But let’s face it, vast majority of what people post in social media is not art.

Our great purpose as human beings is to multiply the knowledge and pass it on to the next generation. I’m always happy when my tutorial, video or workshop helped somebody.

Therefore it is not clear to me why people get upset about their posts being used to train LLMs.

Recently - Remnant 2. After being a huge fan of Remnant: From the Ashes I was a little worried that the second game will drop the ball, but it came out great. Another studio that never disappoints is Quantic Dream. *Every* and I mean *every* game is great.

With all due respect, I would appreciate an explanation in what is exactly a problem with training LLM with this data? LLMs are very generic and depersonalized, and this data can’t be used (not in a straightforward way) to target advertisements, for example. I honestly don’t see the issue…

Workplace

Bluesky is giving that “old internet” vibe. I was still in school in 98 when I got my internet access (I had FIDO for some time before). There was no attention seeking or propaganda online. Just a bunch of lucky guys who were talking, playing DnD over email and dreaming big.

This month’s Humble Bundle is pure gold

Adding this to my ML library. I’m wondering if there are such things as open lectures in Unis is Switzerland?

Any good crafting-survival games out there?

Valheim - great, playing it again
Enshrouded - lacks good combat and variety
Nightingale - too early access, great potential, but lacks variety
Voidtrain - haven’t tried yet, looks interesting…

What else am I missing?

I think git “commit” hooks are mostly evil. Spirit of git is to commit whenever you feel like committing (push is another story).

Annoying when you can’t put current work on pause and switch to another branch just because “tslint” is not happy.

Morale - don’t overuse commit hooks.
