- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 13 hours ago:
Exactly, I’m glad more people are seeing it this way.
The goal of capital is to gain power and leverage, they don’t really care about some numbers.
It’s the dream of all tech companies to become a monopoly, they even say it with a straight face. They want as much control as possible? Why? So they can use the leverage for even more.
The beautiful/horrifying part is, the system weeds out anyone company that does not do this. The only way is for the end users to push back.

Sure but there wouldn’t be enough power, especially if you need things like AC.

What if clans of pedophiles have been starting wars for a while now, and that this is so incompetent and blatant that reality feels weird now.

There was no hunger meter when I played, maybe that’s due to the difficulty setting?

Every time I see this I am reminded by how tiny and thereby underwhelming it looks in real life. The original was more majestic.

I heard some great things about the game.
Tried it out and didn’t see a point. Everything in the ocean is dangerous and you had no objectives.
So you could just stay on your ship forever.
I like to think I won the game that way

- Comment on G-Assist is ‘real’: NVIDIA unveils NitroGen, open-source AI model that can play 1000+ games for you 2 weeks ago:
But that’s cheating no? The challenge is playing the game using user input with all the delays and extra steps that can happen along the way.
Also, optimizing a neural network for just one narrow use case is not what’s being discussed here.
ML is very, very good at narrow use cases, same with other tools of automation going back a century, they are talking about generic all purpose ML

Great,
And I’m guessing like all gen AI, it would be mediocre at best and never reach the top players.
Now all they need is a way to turn mediocre gameplay into money, surely that part would be easy
Also, I don’t think they could use it for testing as there could be plenty of false positive or negatives.

- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 weeks ago:
And what’s great about it is that it’s a positive sum game, you being a data dragon only ensures it’s easier for others (seeding and it becoming a trend).
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 weeks ago:
IMO piracy and self hosting has great cost benefits.
Sure it costs money to buy a mini computer and a hard drive, but after, you can spend a long time building that library and it won’t cost you a dime.
And the computer and hard drive is more like an asset, you don’t really lose money when you buy it.
And it kind of pays you back, eventually you get a little tired of building your library but then you can use said library and integrate it into your lifestyle while you get a new obsession.
