- Comment on Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to redefine open source so badly 13 hours ago:
I mean using proprietary data has been an issue with models as long as I’ve worked in the space. It’s always been a mixture of open weights, open data, open architecture.
I admit that it became more obvious when images/videos/audio became more accessible, but from things like facial recognition to pose estimation have all used proprietary datasets to build the models.
So this isn’t a new issue, and from my perspective not an issue at all. We just need to acknowledge that not all elements of a model may be open.
- Comment on Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to redefine open source so badly 1 day ago:
I mean, you can have open source weights, training data, and code/model architecture. If you’ve done all three it’s an open model, otherwise you state open “component”. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
- Comment on Will online only "Device Activation" become the norm for every device in the future? / Will everything require an app in the future? 1 day ago:
If you want to limit consumer decisions to subscription vs no-subscriptions than sure, but subscriptions are just one element of the choices people have to make.
You also have issues like data privacy, ethical labor, maintainability, etc. Too many things for everyone to keep up with and effectively vote with their wallet.
- Comment on Will online only "Device Activation" become the norm for every device in the future? / Will everything require an app in the future? 1 day ago:
There are a couple of problems with this logic and it’s why regulations are critical to a functioning world.
- Frequently people need something today(ish) and don’t have the luxury to wait. Food is a great example, but depending on the person/entity most things can end up being urgent (like I need a laptop today for work/school)
- No one knows the ins/outs of every industry. While Lemmys more technical users can see the issues with so many accounta/subscriptions, that doesn’t mean the general public does.
Its certainly more nuanced than that, but that’s just a quick breakdown of the challenges of voting with your wallet.
- Comment on Chatbot Software Begins to Face Fundamental Limitations. 4 days ago:
Some AI can do math, but LLMs and Neural Networks aren’t designed to do complex math, as all of their operations are (typically) based around addition. If it has enough pathways it can learn multiplication through sheer brute force, but only within the input space (hence the articles comments about 3 or 4 digit numbers).
At the end of the day, LLMs are for processing text. Multimodal models are generally converting audio/images to text so you have a common means of evaluation. However, none of that is concerned about logic, which is fundamental for math.
- Comment on Trump tariffed Columbia in response to not letting a plane of deported illegals in. 1 week ago:
The general issue with actions like this is that you expend political capital. You can build political capital in a lot of ways, but many of Trumps actions burn through it rather than build.
Why this matters is that the USA benefits from being a/the world leader, but that can only continue while other countries want that. Once the US shows itself to be unreliable or obstructive countries will look to places like China instead. So short term gains, long term costs - just like how many companies in America act.
- Comment on Discovery Plus is raising its prices 2 weeks ago:
Discovery is Warner Bros. which is probably why it’s mostly garbage. Disney owns National Geographic which seems like it’s still doing good things (and at least can be bundled with Disney+/Hulu)
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 5 weeks ago:
I should probably caveat that the last sonic game I really enjoyed and finished is sonic adventure (played some since, but none clicked). So I may not be the best “sonic” evaluator.
But I think I get where you’re coming from. A lot of the platforming is more “automated” and when it isn’t it does get a bit janky. However it did a good job of making me feel fast and felt less janky than any other recent 3D sonic.
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 5 weeks ago:
I think I used this guide reddit.com/…/metroid_prime_trilogy_primehack_a_st…
Basically you can install emudeck (emulation package) through the desktop mode and through that install primehack. I think it automatically adds them to your steam library, but could be mistaken.
- Comment on If it would solve world hunger, what would be the largest item you could fit in your ass? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure you understand what causes world hunger.
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing Sonic Frontiers, which has been surprisingly fun. It has a similar vibe to what “Mario Odyssey” did for mario, the mixture of 3D, camera controlled, and 2D segments was done well in my opinion.
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, both are okay in my book. Wonder spent to much time on the “wonders” that the platforming is just okay. And TOTK is just a more grindy BOTW.
- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 5 weeks ago:
If you have a pc/steamdeck there is a metroid prime hack pack that gives you more standard joystick controls for all three games. I’d recommend playing that way.
- Comment on My favorite 5 weeks ago:
It’s possible then you’ve never been to a “good” one. While they were never great food, back in the 90s early 00s they were all a higher quality than what you find now.

Ever.
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale Featured Deep Discounts - any recommendations? 1 month ago:
If looking for a good “actual fox” game I’d recommend tunic!
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale Featured Deep Discounts - any recommendations? 1 month ago:
I thought the game was okay. Combat was a bit wonky and the story a bit hard to follow, but do to the length it may be worth it. Especially if your into occult magic/cthulu themes.

It’s been called the first “English Kanji” as a joke.

I could be wrong, but I think she said he should be rewarded for brining the milkshake home, but his “loss” cause she’s on her period.
- Comment on Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD." 1 month ago:
I had no idea it had some basis in mormanism, but I also really wanted a sequel to it. It ended on such an interesting cliff hangar and with Orson Scott Card it seemed like the plot would actually go somewhere.
- Comment on Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD." 1 month ago:
“Doom” is a pretty good one.
“Advent Rising” you find out you are a god.
“Dread Delusion” prisoner to decider of gods fate.
A lot of Kirby games.
- Comment on Israel PM says ordered military to 'seize' Syria buffer zone 1 month ago:
I think the issue you’ll find is in the “by extension [insert group]” rhetoric.
This kind of logic becomes particularly problematic in this situation as less than 50% of jews live in Israel. So a majority have little to no say in what the state of Israel does.
- Comment on Patient gamers, what is your favorite Prince of Persia game and why? 2 months ago:
It would make you the least patient, but “Prince of Persia: Lost Crown” is one of the best metroidvanias I’ve ever played. It is old enough now where it is on sale occasionally.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 2 months ago:
I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned more. Unlike a lot of the other games, the world feels a bit more centered around magic. Also if you’re a fan of Harry potter it does a good job of capturing that setting (in my opinion).
- Comment on Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy 2 months ago:
This is the same type of criticism the paper made. The real intent behind the saying is given random output (where all outputs have nonzero probability) eventually you will create anything/everything.
Its a thought experiment around infinity, probability, and art.
- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Disbanded After Critically Lauded Platformer Fails to Meet Expectations - Report 3 months ago:
That’s a shame to hear, I recently played this game and it’s one of the best Metroidvanias I’ve ever played.
- Comment on My ship threw my bags out the window and left me 3 months ago:
I mean those kinds of things arent atypical in elder scrolls and fallout. It gives the world a little flare to it if done right.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 4 months ago:
Fair point then about the arguement around safety. For me the bigger issue is control. Cars with kill switches and conditions to use is a slippery slope. Just look at what’s happened with software and media. Don’t want to have to pirate my car or load custom firmware so I can use it as I want.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 4 months ago:
I don’t think there is a car where the seat belt is tied to anything besides a little notification beep. Seems like a different situation if the “safety” feature dictates how the car is used.
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 4 months ago:
If you played and liked any game like dead cells or rouge legacy, then Hades should be worth it.
Its basically an action rpg rougelite with a lot of unlock ables, story directly tied to the die/repeat cycle, and lots of interesting challenges.
