Ruby is still fun to write, in fact I make the LLMs write the underlying libraries in Rust while I enjoy writing Ruby on top. win win

install LM Studio, download the automatically selected quant based on your hardware, start a conversation with the automatic context size. 10 minutes at best and zero effort

ah good to know. still since im already on the microg builds I'll keep using that until this phone dies so I'm still skewing the statistics

the LineageOS teams refuses to incorporate patches to support MicroG as a replacement for Google Services so anyone (including me) that wants to follow that path is required to use unofficial builds.

Ruby is always a pleasure to use. Another very good language for parsing binary is Erlang/Elixir where you can pattern match against the raw bytes specifying sizes, endianess, etc and its all too well integrated in the language.

I tried Gemini 3.1 pro once to implement a previously designed 7-phase plan. it only implemented a quarter of the plan before stopping, the code didnt even compile because half of the scaffolding was missing. it then confidently said everything was done.

Codex and GLM didnt have any issue following the exact same plan and getting a working app. So I would argue Gemini is the failure here.

this is great, specially the evaluation loop. the worst part of using AI to make games is testing things work as intended after every modification specially if its a complex game.

whats the art creation pipeline?

if no code is contributed back then why is there an ongoing problem with massive amounts of PRs?

how is discords freemium successful when they are trying to put Nitro in your face at every step? trying so hard to me that sounds like not enough people pay
