I made my first vibe coded game, made casino style slots with lines, bets, free plays, auto play, in a linux shell, with color graphics, amazed how well it came out. Amazed how well it came out, with fixing graphics and adding features.

Might be nice on older games that dont have 4k HD texture packs, or even games like Skyrim or replaying older Witcher 1&2. Its upto the user right? Let people play older games with some better looking gfx. Seems like an easy win, use it or dont use it.

About 50-75%, also depends on cpu workload and brightness.

Running a VM will probably give you better life.

New comment by IronWolve in "The FCC is a weapon in Trump's war on free speech"

IronWolve — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 20:56:01 +0000

With all these long blog/news posts, been asking for a TLDR via AI. It does a good breakdown on thoughts vs actions. Then if it sounds interesting, then go back. Fabric app (oh github) works well ollama or lm-studio (and llm of choice)

It also works well with long YT videos using the closed captions, no time to listen to a 2 hour podcast.

TLDR:

* Trump and Elon Musk are reportedly using FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr to target speech they disagree with, posing a significant threat to First Amendment rights.

* Carr has been described as a tool in Trump's strategy to control free speech, with actions including investigations into major broadcasters like ABC, CBS, and NBC for their coverage or internal policies.

* The Verge's Nilay Patel criticizes this as an unprecedented attack on free speech, highlighting how the FCC, under Carr, might punish media for their editorial decisions, which contradicts traditional First Amendment protections.

* The narrative suggests that this administration's actions could fundamentally challenge the freedom of the press and speech in the U.S., using government authority in ways not seen before.

Pretty sure that latency and desktop improvement projects upped the timer for smoother mouse and windows movements also. Nice to see that it also improves application improvement of AI and encoders too.

I've been using LLM's to do searches for awhile, its quicker and i get better results. What happens in the future when new issues are only mentioned in github, x or reddit, and a different LLM is trained on each, have to use 3 searches?

Grok has real time data, and its very good at data like mpg/price/etc. I use it as a search engine replacement, and it has good data.

so, it works for me

IronWolve — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 04:09:43 +0000

Again, asking a LLM to parse data isn't real life, thats not how life works.

And again, mentioning outsource/combine departs doesnt mean layoffs, and was not the objective of the query. If I ask it to give me the stats on gas crossovers with good mpg, I don't want a political lecture on why EV's are better for the environment.

LLM's shouldn't interject its own viewpoints when asked a question on data.

IronWolve — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 03:44:01 +0000

It was just a task to find issues and didn't even mention layoffs, it just assumed, just like you.

You do know asking chatgpt a question doesnt actually do anything in real life right?

New comment by IronWolve in "Why Self-Checkout Is No Longer Profitable for Retailers [video]"

IronWolve — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 00:15:18 +0000

From a legal viewpoint, selfcheck mistakes make you a criminal, and the stores make money for going after you for a settlement. Its already happening for customer mistakes to be prosecuted and settlements (walmart is the biggest culprit).

I'm buying groceries not getting into a possible legal issue, I'll avoid self checkout on a cart, maybe on 1 or 2 items self checkout is ok'ish.

Plus I feel using self checkout puts people out of jobs.

The political training in chatgpt has gotten in the way of asking funding and policy questions for basic questions.

I gave it a budget and asked it to give me the programs/departments/etc that have little return of value, overruns, possible fraud, spot problems, etc. so I could outsource or combine departments and save money.

It went on a long lecture that cutting funding was a horrible thing, and I'm horrible for asking, and refused to answer.

Really?

I'm asking basic auditing/restructure/spending, and it was trained to ignore my request and lecture against providing help, and refusal to give results.

smh, this isnt helpful.

I wonder if Apple runs statistics on controls and sees if a setting isn't used as much by the common user, so power users (audiophiles/etc), are hurt by these decisions.
