    I think there needs to be proof given when you accuse people of ai slop, this is not to say it’s not a slop mime of course it is: it’s I think people tend to forget why AI slop is not so great: the average person it trained on is not that great.

    Now sure if you find a Loading artist with the frames the same we know what it was lifted from vs it just being a mimic of style, sure AI or not we could say it’s a bit too close in style to be a independent derivative.

    But let’s be real you were not going to ever be paid for some off the top random meme the question is should op have bothered posting… Honestly likely not.


  • While many sources of fructose naturally and no reason to think they behave differently than HFCS, high fructose corn syrup to my knowledge uses enzymes to convert glucose to fructose to raise the percentage. (And then re-add corn syrup to adjust the fructose/glucose to a desired ratio)

    How much healthier a simple syrup (sugar split into a 50% glucose and 50% fructose) vs a 60/40 fructose/glucose HFCS is very debatable…

    Really just hates it when you buy something without sugar/HFCS and find it had artificial sweeteners instead… When I wanted no additional sweeteners. looks at canned fruit in cabinet









  • I see “gold rush” the company selling shovels is making out like a bandit, everyone else is make a profit on the previous gen but requires a 10x cost increase for the next gen. And thus 10x more shovels… As soon as 10x more shovels stops giving 10x+ improvements this is the wrong investment.

    Hints are we already reached this point.

    Some AI companies will pivot and improve in other ways with more linear costs/results… The ones hoping the line continues to the moon… I think they overshot… I just don’t know when it will fall back…

    This is the biggest problem wifh genai, it takes over the meaning of any other AI… At most theis hearing aid “AI” is a small neural network to remove background (noise) vs foreground (talk), more likely it’s not even that complicated but still focused on nearest conversation and not other noise.


  • While I’ve found uses for local LLMs (ie I host) and even the bigger chat bots:

    I feel the gen “AI” everywhere is just an excuse to collect data since they always use the online models… And if you are either not paying or paying api rates (per token… Or usually million token rate) it’s basically being provided significantly below cost.



  • Anything you can do in Jujitsu you can do in git… The big difference is a paradime change:

    -instead of a working directory that has pending changes you need to add than commit, all changes are in a commit that is lacking metadata.

    The system has better “editing” of local history to set that meta data. But once you push to a shared repo you run the usual risks of force pushing.

    I’m not sold, rather git not do anything until asked and just run git status constantly but I don’t have first hand experience… I would theory it would be more likely to add a file you didn’t mean to… Unlike those who use windows guis for git and forget to add new files.


  • Funny those are commands I avoid… They all have to do with editing history which I know there is a vocal group here that loves “clean” history but that isn’t what happened.

    sure merge full features so you can roll back a feature… And if something is really off I might start from a snapshot commit and cherry pick/merge a bunch in but usually history is histoy… If submitting to a public project I may make a new branch with the cleaned version but why edit in line. That is risking issues.


  • I am perfectly ok with android apps being required to be signed by not just a certificate (they always were just it could be self signed and just needed to match to upgrade without removing data) but a list of trusted entities.

    As long as:

    • I can install my own key on my phone (I’d I am trusted)
    • major distributors like fdroid and have a key installed without friction (like web CAs)
    • Google let’s me mark their key as untrusted (I probably won’t but I should be able to refuse things they trust (at install time, not disabling preloaded apps like settings)

    Without this it feels too much extending the monopoly despite being forced to allow 3rd party stores.




  • As I expected from the initial hype.

    Let’s just realize that these are not what make a good unique game:

    • Minecraft but better
    • Minecraft but not Java

    Many games of course have minecraft like elements, that work, they just do try to be their own things:

    • FortressCraft Evolved: Voxel factory game with tower defence elements
    • Colony Survival: Voxel building game where you protect and grow a colony

    Moving away from games with Voxel building for those that “want better graphics” you have games like

    • Valheim - build/adventure.
    • ARK: Survival Evolved - build/adventure/poop jokes (sorry never got into the game the let’s play poop jokes got old for me)

    Also might add there are minecraft aspects to the 2d games, but most have unique gameplay as well

    Factorio Stardew Valley Terraria - I really should like this… But every time I try it I don’t

    None of these are “Minecraft killers” because while they may allow for some sandbox play they are unique games. Same for some others I see in this thread.

    Sure you have Luanti as well if you want to make a highly modded minecraft like, or just other voxel game to play test, and maybe prove why its better. But it never tried to replace minecraft.
