- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 days ago:
most procedural algorithms don’t require training data, for one. they can just be given a seed and run. or rather, the number of weights is so minimal that you can set them by hand.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 days ago:
generative ai is a subset of procedural generation algorithms. specifically it’s a procedural algorithm with a massive amount of weight parameters, on the order of hundreds of billions. you get the weights by training. for image generation (which i’m assuming is what was in use here), the term to look up is “latent diffusion”. basically you take all your training data and blur it step by step, set your weights to mimic the blur operation, and then when you want an image you run the model backwards.
- Comment on GitHub - scallyw4g/bonsai: The procedural generation voxel engine 3 days ago:
no apology necessary, i find it an interesting question. i was aware of things like worldedit but using a pure voxel editor for terrain work is new to me.
i think the relationship is probably reversed here though, it’s more likely that tools like avoyd can be made to export things for use in luanti and/or bonsai.
- Comment on GitHub - scallyw4g/bonsai: The procedural generation voxel engine 3 days ago:
but those tools are built for minecraft right? this is a different system with (presumably) a different format, and from what i can see, no builtin terrain generation algorithm. it would be easier to just build one in luanti.
- Comment on GitHub - scallyw4g/bonsai: The procedural generation voxel engine 3 days ago:
how?
- Comment on GitHub - scallyw4g/bonsai: The procedural generation voxel engine 3 days ago:
luanti is an engine and so is bonsai. i don’t think they can be “used together”.
- Comment on AI surpasses 2024 Bitcoin mining in energy usage, uses more H20 than the bottles of water people drink globally — says AI demand could hit 23GW and up to 764 billion liters of water in 2025 5 days ago:
so that’s… seven percent?
- Comment on AI surpasses 2024 Bitcoin mining in energy usage, uses more H20 than the bottles of water people drink globally — says AI demand could hit 23GW and up to 764 billion liters of water in 2025 5 days ago:
why measure against bottled water? that can’t possibly be a big percentage of the water people drink.
- Comment on Word. 5 days ago:
i mean, it’s equivalent to using a typewriter to edit a printed page. pdf was that designed to be edited.
- Comment on Word. 6 days ago:
expecting word to edit pdfs is like expecting excel to edit compiled matlab programs
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
point being that the active firefox forks are heavily dependent on upstream, just like the active chrome forks. if firefox dies, the forks die, unless they can scramble the 400ish full-time devs seemingly required to keep gecko current.

sounds like you want this thing but smaller
- Comment on All-Screen Keyboard Has Flexible Layouts 1 week ago:
if the one i saw on fran’s lab was any indication, your keyboard would have to be about 10cm thick.

- Comment on Gender corn 1 week ago:
i mean, think about it. the more people you have, the more counters you can have. you make your districts so there’s at most a few thousand people per district, and you designate a counter (or three) from each district. then you get a few central counters per region to verify the district counts. the more people you have, the more you can decentralise.
takes about a day or two to get the results.
- Comment on Gender corn 1 week ago:
no, voting is a lot older than computers.
- Comment on Gender corn 1 week ago:
put it this way, do you know how all the software in your phone works? because i could describe to you every step of our voting process and you can request to be present at every step to follow, open, and tally the ballots. with electronic voting, all that’s out the window.
someone brought a voting machine to defcon a few years ago as a “try to hack this thing” project but it basically turned out to be pre-hacked.
- Comment on Gender corn 1 week ago:
if they ever went electronic i dont think i would ever vote again. that shit’s dystopian

- Comment on What are you using n8n for? 2 weeks ago:
yeah this project has been on github for six years and seems to have been closed source before that. it’s a graphical automation tool.
like, everything can be used with ai. github itself has “ai agent” plastered everywhere. it’s just a buzzword. doesn’t mean it’s built specifically for ai.
- Comment on What are you using n8n for? 2 weeks ago:
could be one of those cases where some c-level asked an engineer “could we use this for ai” and the engineer said “i mean, technically yes” and then marketing changed every single mention of the product
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 2 weeks ago:
i like how everyone got hooked on the cgnat thing when i gave the actual solution in the main post. but yeah there’s always the option of not doing anything until i see issues.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 2 weeks ago:
i’ll worry about the nat traversal when i get my bouncer back up, but it will probably be less full-featured than pangolin. previously i just used a reverse ssh setup but that was a bit too rudimentary.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 2 weeks ago:
that’s also a possibility, but i’m going to have to whine to my isp.
