- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 6 hours ago:
A placeholder isn’t what they’re working on either. It’s a placeholder for something someone else is working on but hasn’t completed yet.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 19 hours ago:
It was a placeholder texture that was always intended to be replaced by actual art made by a human. It was overlooked accidentally and promptly replaced. So no, it isn’t a very different thing. It was never supposed to be part of the game or even a significant part of its development.

A stance that is perfectly relatable in 2025, but not as much when Expedition 33 was in early development.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 day ago:
Why not? If the tools weren’t available, they’d have used stock art or something super basic and crappy looking, which would’ve been just as good as a placeholder. But the tools were available.
In 2025 it makes sense for companies to have policies against using generative AI tools even for stuff like this. But in 2022, it wouldn’t have been a thing. Nobody would have thought twice about it.

The only takeaway is that the Indie Game Awards’ rule is overly restrictive. Woops, one of your contracted artists used a GenAI model to generate a music playlist to set the mood while he was working on your game, you’re disqualified and the fact that you didn’t come forward with this information immediately makes you a liar. Obviously absurd. If they’re going to take a strong anti-AI stance, it should be more realistic. At some point, maybe even already, every single competitor should be disqualified but isn’t aware or forthcoming about it, so what’s the rule actually doing except rewarding dishonesty?

“the truth” being that a few generated placeholder textures were accidentally left in and promptly replaced? crazy

There are non-standard models of arithmetic. They follow the original first-order Peano axioms and any theorem about the naturals is true for them, but they have some wacky extra stuff in them like you mention.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 3 months ago:
If you mostly play Souls games, I have to lean towards E33 due to the real-time parry mechanic. Both games are amazing and you won’t regret playing either.
- Comment on number box o number box 3 months ago:
Which is really a roundabout way of saying a tensor is a multilinear relationship between arbitrary products of vectors and covectors. They’re inherently geometric objects that don’t depend on a choice of coordinate system. The box of numbers is just one way of looking at a tensor, like a matrix is to a linear transformation on a vector space

I’ve been using a reverse proxy on a Hetzner VPS pointing at my home plex server for years without issue. Maybe this only applies to people running the actual Plex software on a Hetzner VPS?

- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 5 months ago:
So I’m not advocating for speeding, and I think getting a ticket for going 38 in a 30 is reasonable enough, she should be more careful. But “the probability of death given a collision” is an astronomically low contributor to the risk to pedestrians compared to “the probability of a collision.” We all know getting hit by a car is extremely dangerous even at low speeds. The risk of hitting a pedestrian doesn’t go up much between 38mph and 30mph under normal conditions, so the risk to pedestrians doesn’t change much. It’s probably within typical margins considering the difference between drivers who may be older, have slower reaction times, have slept less that day, etc.
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 5 months ago:
it’s not like you can accidentally go around 30% over the limit
When that 30% is 8mph, yes you can

In the context of differential forms, an integral expression isn’t complete without an integral symbol and a differential form to be integrated.

The mathematician also used “operative” instead of, uh, something else, and “associative” instead of “commutative”

- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 5 months ago:
It’s a number and complexity refers to functions. The natural inclusion of numbers into functions maps pi to the constant function x -> pi which is O(1).
If you want the time complexity of an algorithm that produces the nth digit of pi, the best known ones are something like O(n log n) with O(1) being impossible.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 5 months ago:
The direct connection is cool, I just wonder if a P2P connection is actually any better than going through a data center. There’s gonna be intermediate servers right?
Do you need to have Tailscale set up on any network you want to use this on? Because I’m a fan of being able to just throw my domain or IP into any TV and log in
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 5 months ago:
I just use nginx on a tiny Hetzner vps acting as a reverse proxy for my home server. I dunno what the point of Tailscale is here, maybe better latency and fewer network hops in some cases if a p2p connection is possible? But I’ve never had any bandwidth or latency issues doing this
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 5 months ago:
It gets around port forwarding/firewall issues that most people don’t know how to deal with. But putting it behind a paywall kinda kills any chance of it being a benevolent feature.
- Comment on The Legends is among us 6 months ago:
It’s got a very high barrier to entry. You kinda have to suffer through it for a while before you get it. And then you unlock a totally different kind of suffering.

You can imagine tracing a path along a Klein bottle to see that it only has one side. To get more precise than that requires some topological context. If you slice it down the middle it turns into two Möbius strips and an orientation of the Klein bottle would induce an orientation of the strips, which are non-orientable. Alternately it has zero top integer homology, which you can get from looking at a triangulation. The orientable double cover of a Klein bottle is a torus, which is connected (if it were orientable, the double cover would be two disconnected Klein bottles).
