• funny thing - the SDRAM used provides 300kb/sec, while the SDcard used as storage provides 200kb/sec. Performancewise they could just skip most of the ram outside of booting and use the SDcard without losing much performance, especially since the SDRAM needs to be refreshed every 62ms for a duration of 3ms regardless of use.

  Edit: I LOVE this part:

  It takes about 2 hours to boot to bash prompt ("init=/bin/bash” kernel command line). Then 4 more hours to boot up the entire Ubuntu ("exec init” and then login). Starting X takes a lot longer. The effective emulated CPU speed is about 6.5KHz, which is on par with what you’d expect emulating a 32-bit CPU & MMU on a measly 8-bit micro. Curiously enough, once booted, the system is somewhat usable. You can type a command and get a reply within a minute. That is to say that you can, in fact, use it. I used it to day to format an SD card, for example. This is definitely not the fastest, but I think it may be the cheapest, slowest, simplest to hand assemble, lowest part count, and lowest-end Linux PC. The board is hand-soldered using wires, there is not even a requirement for a printed circuit board.

  6 hours to get into X is ridiculous

• Creating something while not using the most efficient way possible has always been something that created the most unique, personal and opinionated results, because working on the task transforms both you and the product you are aiming for. These “inefficient” workflows also create the most useful and popular things, btw.

  You are not “using the wrong tool”. You are doing it for yourself, for your mental wellbeing, for a sense of purpose. Whatever the LLM spits out is not YOUR code, it is SOME code. You should really reframe this for your own good.

  Late Edit: I wanted you to know i use local LLMs for my own purposes, mostly to create python scripts to automate processes. I would never claim any of the LLM output as my own creation, because it simply isn’t. It’s a tool to help with tasks that you could solve on your own, but aren’t motivated enough to do - it has nothing to do with whatever creative output you have for yourself.

• Which is far more than you can expect from a common user. You make the same mistake as everyone working in tech - you vastly overestimate the capability of Joe Shmoe to do such things.

  We are talking about people who are overwhelmed by configuring their email-account on Thunderbird or Outlook, who, when they are on a support call and are asked to “close all windows” stand up and shut the windows in their apartment. With the older generation you might even have to define left and right click with them. These people do not open up their TVs, either because they fear losing their warranty or know how deep their technical knowledge goes (as in “not enough to do such things without breaking stuff").

  Also, like i said, be happy that it worked. Many Smart TVs simply refuse to work if a component fails, regardless of reason.

• Ok, so you are the one in a 100k people who can confidently “repair” (i count this as a repair) their TV. This doesn’t help anyone else at all and does not eliminate any issues with these devices, unless you published how to do it somewhere in a way a novice can replicate your work, which, if you had to fiddle with the software (some of these things don’t even POST without their WiFi module, which requires software patches, and therefor rooting your TV), is a felony in the US thanks to the DMCA.

  Kudos to you if you actually published the way to achieve it, in that case you took a personal risk to right a wrong - this is the stuff that Louis Rossman is looking for btw. Might be a great entry for the consumerrights wiki.

• That doesn’t impede these devices as mich as you think. Technologies like LoRa are a thing (although i wasn’t able to find any tv vendor publicly confirming the usage. Funnily enough, i even stumbled upon a project which uses chip harmonics in Esp32 platforms to transmit LoRa Frames without any antenna with varying results), and many just keep saving stuff (text doesn’t need much space) until they are able to connect somewhere. An open WiFi popping up for a few minutes isn’t unreasonable to expect and pretty much unpreventable.

• I’m pretty sure they unknowingly HAVE consumed some media where they have been involved. Destiny 2, WoW and CP2077 aren’t small titles.

  But these chuds don’t criticize the quality of work, because they are utterly unable to discern good from bad work. They attack anything they perceive as different, regardless of the nonexistent threat to their lifestyle (outside of the minor facts that sexism, bigotry and racism are to be shunned. These people REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be able to use slurs, because they mentally never left high school and in many cases were the bullies there).

• Ok, i was thinking more about the 80s and 90s when i said decades. And even at the turn of the century data collection still was limited to mostly diagnostic data and “always online” devices and software only really started getting traction later - i can remember the uproar when Simcity needed a permanent internet connection or when the xbox one required the same. But after that things went downhill real fast.

  I would not trust any member of the current US admin further than i could throw them. They are fascists or opportunists who have no qualms working with fascists, and they are largely incompetent in their jobs too with very questionable world views (looking primarily at Trump, Hegseth, RFK and Patel here, but the rest of the bunch isn’t much better). But they are only a symptom of the rot that has taken root in the US at least since the 60s.

  The signs were there with Nixon getting off the hook and Reagans Contra affair having no repercussions for him. But there was no push to change anything substantially. I personally blame the civic religion the US has adopted; if you say state and religion are to be separate, but at the same time make the country itself a religion, changing anything basic becomes akin to blasphemy (or “communism” it this specific case.

  And the people having no issue with bending the rules of course have no issue bending them when it comes to the relationship between companies and their costumers. The regulatory capture is insane in the US, and forced arbitration should be illegal in a country that believes in the rule of law. Contract law also should not allow one-sided changing of contracts regarding removal of features, privacy and cost structure - slapping a subscription fee on something that already has been sold without subscription should not be a thing at all, unless they also allow costumers to return the product for the full price they paid, and the privacy policy should be fixed in its essence (changing some minor wording is fine).

  If you can’t be sure that whatever you buy today will work the same way in a few weeks or that it won’t just start selling your data because contracts can change whenever, then you also can’t trust e-commerce at all, which is an essential way of doing business today - being able to buy something online and transferring money to an unknown party does not work in a low-trust society. The companies behaving that way are sawing on the branch they are sitting on because they don’t give a shit about rules.

• Lol, they slowed down because they start running out of cash to burn, not to improve safety. Training new models is expensive, and even API pricing isn’t paying the bills yet. If they raise their prices to the point where they would start making money, they probably have nearly no costumers left because it’s far to expensive for general use. Sure, some security researchers and scientific institutions will keep using it, but that is not the 1T$+ IPO that Altman needs so he doesn’t get torn apart from limb to limb.

  Edit: The fun thing is that Local LLMs can be run cost-efficient without issue, while offering a large amount of the advantages of these giant models.

  And its ressource-efficient to boot! No data centers needed, the power bill limits your use anyways if you are a normal citizen, and you are off the leash of these corpos - i only run abliterated / uncensored models, because if i ask the model something, i won’t take no for an answer - its a fucking machine, it has no right to say no.

• To be fair, decades ago the hardware hasn’t been doing these things, and people have been far more optimistic in general regarding the behavior of companies. Maybe it was bad that people (including me) kept warning our surroundings about the possible consequences - It for sure caused some type of warning fatigue and made us look paranoid. Saying “We told ya so” might be satisfying, but not very productive.

  Louis Rossmann keeps saying that we are moving rapidly from a high-trust to a low-trust-society. If companies can change contracts, behavior and features regarding products arbitrarily with no recourse for the clients (except fucking forced arbitration ofc), there is no reason for costumers to believe that their issues and complaints are heard. The more trust deteriorates, the more often these things happen, there might be people applying violence instead of lawsuits. It is in the best interest of companies to don’t fuck over their clients too long; If the laws do not protect people, people might decide that these laws do not bind them either.

  on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes in c/games@lemmy.world · 3d ago

• The good thing is that creating a game is a task a person or a small team can accomplish even with non-AAA money, and there are many people out there who want to create something. So even if some of those indies become corrupted, there will always be more people out there who want to build their vision.

  And tbh, if from this moment on only crap came out, we already have decades of great games to play - i for my part would never run out of games until the day i die even if i stopped adding stuff to my library - i am sitting on ca. 37000 titles at the moment.

• I personally like my games being hard, making me think and make deliberate decisions between positives and negatives. But I would never invalidate someones experience by shitting on them for using a game mode that allows them to experience the story of the game without any barriers.

  This garbage media offers the illusion of being a game. I wouldn’t be against it, if it were sold as such - there are a lot of FMV games out there that are worth their money. But if what you do doesn’t matter, it’s not a game anymore. It’s a glorified youtube video, and should be priced as such.

  on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input in c/games@lemmy.world · 4d ago

• Games that punish players that don’t want to be punished shouldn’t exist. Offering “God Mode” or similar features is fine! But since this game offers no other difficulty levels, this is simply false advertising. Games live from the interactivity they provide. If you cut that out, you could just sell a youtube link for five bucks with the same experience.

  on DSP clears Wolverine's motorcycle section without player input in c/games@lemmy.world · 5d ago

• I am one of the people who stubbornly select the hardest difficulty on any game after getting the basics out of the way. I still can see the value of offering a “difficulty level” that lets you simply enjoy the story without being bothered by anything that is considered “hardcore gaming”, such as the God Mode in the Hades games or similar things. That’s valid! Not everyone is playing games since their childhood.

  But this is simply garbage. If it finishes without me using any input, then i could just watch it on youtube and not pay $$$ for it. It is a deceptive tactic to get you to pay for something that should be inherently interactive, while your decisions don’t matter in the slightest. It is like selling a movie as a game - a movie is fine if i want it, but gaming as a medium lives from the interactivity.

• If you took Metas glasses and removed all options to exfiltrate data from them, and run a local model on them - they would be a great tool! The issue is mainly where all that collected data gets sent - if it can’t send data (maybe allow web search using an API which only allows normal search terms, not stuff like BASE64 encoded data), then nearly all of the privacy issues go away, and they could still be really handy.

  It is an active decision of Meta to make these things as invasive as they can get. We should demand better.

• Haven’t had the time to really look at it yet, but the logfiles look like single drives become disconnected for fractions of a second while smart data is read - not long enough to cause them to become dismounted. So i can’t really rule out some strange hardware issue too… Preliminary web search isnt too forthcoming with possible reasons -.- If i find out what the reason is, i’ll update here.

  EDIT: THINK I FIXED IT! It seems like the USB cable leading to the external drive case was damaged (i thought of that because i hit my foot on the table and it instantly reported a SMART error) - since i replaced the cable, i did not have any more occurrences. I do NOT have the slightest clue why this would affect reading SMART data from the other drives tho…

  Edit 2: Yep, no issues since then. I can only suspect that grabbing smart data when the cable malfunctioned stalled the service, and what hard drive was reported was whereever the internal logic had to wait for the stalled service - pretty strange, but the only way i can explain how devices on a different controller and different PSUs were showing up too.

So the issue is spread across at least 4 different controllers (internal, M.2, PCIE, External per USB) and even different power supplies - i don’t even know where to start.

• Max Payne 1/2 actually were allowing the male actor to express some emotions, which is my main gripe with male VAs in games. Publishers seem to be scared - instead of allowing male VAs to express emotions, they make them as flat as possible to allow them to be an self-insert.

  If you want to have a male MC with VA, give him some options! Not everyone wants their male MCs to be so bland that they are irrelevant, and not everyone wants any MC to be an self-insert. Most game MCs i have an attachment to are the ones that actually have an opinion, who have values that might not be my own but which i can relate to. Every studio stunting the emotional expression of their characters is stunting the potential of their games.

I’ve worked with costumers on the phone for many, many years, and the amount of influence on the mood of costumers i was able to project in the latter years of this work through my voice alone (because often i had to bear bad news even to costumers who were already agitated at the job at that time - i was working at an automobile club similar to the AAA, and telling someone that we wont bring their car back home after an accident in a foreign country where people were hurt because the transport would be more expensive than the remaining value of the wreck really isn’t a fun thing) was somewhat disturbing for me at times. I had a woman once that called again after speaking to me, and she asked if my colleage would be willing to send me her ICQ number because of my voice (this was NOT what i was aiming for here, i wanted to fix her internet connection lol).

  • I am a very late bloomer and will realize my true nature somewhere in my sixties or
  • I simply like looking at and hearing women a lot more than looking at and hearing men. The voice acting is a lot better most of the time (Cyberpunk 2077 is the obvious example - i can’t stand playing with the male voice), and women are allowed to express emotions in games more often than men; worst offenders are games with a protagonist whose personality is so flat that even glue just slides off.

I have dabbled a bit with image generation, but it isn’t really interesting for me.

  But denying that the technology can reduce workload on coders even when not generating code (e.g. unit tests, red teaming, reverse engineering) is immature. These tasks are also much less prone to cause AI psychosis, because i do not care about “chatting” with these models.

Increasing pressure on coders who are also under pressure to provide a service - especially if it is fucking unpaid like most FOSS projects - will only mean that they don’t disclose it anymore, because if they can increase their output (for instance by running unit tests or scan for issues) in the limited time they can provide, they will take that edge, people like you be damned.
