I found 2 things helping a lot: 1. Use the desktop app instead of the terminal. It really helps with text readability and structure. 2. Avoid opus 5 - 4.6 and 4.8 work much better. 4.6 being by far the easiest to read and also just a good collaborator, you should try it again. Fable also if you can afford it.

Opus 5 writes absolute garbage, I do have the skill in question installed and it did not help much. Me and everybody on my team downgraded to 4.8 - instant improvement.

Severance is a truly amazing tv show


From the first lines I’ve thought the post was set in the series (probably because of the name Mark), but apparently there’s no connection here.

(Though thinking about it... severed people do play a similar role in Severance as LLMs do in our world, don’t they?)


I discovered the show recently and thought that was a part of the point, but apparently the show's development long predates LLMs!


Looked it up – the pilot script is from 2015, wow! (“Attention is All you Need”, the paper GPT-1 was based upon, is from 2017.)


> Though thinking about it... severed people do play a similar role in Severance as LLMs do in our world, don’t they?

…

What?


In case you haven’t seen Severance, here’s the premise: “severed” people in the series have their mind split in two personas basically, with separate memories and personality traits. The work persona, an “innie”, is then tasked with a dull job, while the “outie” gets the salary for it. https://www.severance.wiki/severance_procedure

In reality, we’re tasking the LLMs with dull work, and use their output for our benefit. It’s a stretch, yeah.


Well imagine what it would be like to experience the experience of an LLM.

Just imagine they are conscious for the time they are autogressing.

Wouldn't it be like the experience of the Severed?


It's only a change on paper, in reality it was unrealistically low for a long time


Is that ever since 1.8 made the whole game engine vastly less efficient? The game used to run with 256MB.


> The game used to run with 256MB.

These are system requirements - not how much the game actually uses.


There's modpacks, e.g. fabulously optimized. It makes mc playable but 256MiB basically gets you to the Java runtime nowadays.


Less efficient but faster, which is a fun combination. At least they seem to have improved FPS.


That's probably because you got a new graphics card some time in the last 10 years.


The stuff they're rendering has to come from somewhere.

They go hand in hand, the bigger the render area, the more game has to be simulated at once.


Not true. Render distance and simulation distance were decoupled years ago.


It's possible to simulate less than you can see, but it's pretty undesirable. The recommendations scale with this.


SPD has no integrity either way


Let's just remember that spd unironically thought the CumEx expert Scholz should be given the highest position in the government.

After that debacle I honestly cannot understand how anyone with even an iota of integrity can vote for them again and think any of them would ever act in the interests of their people


"After that debacle I honestly cannot understand how anyone with even an iota of integrity can vote for them again"

Well, there is actually a very old song about them, here in a new version (that is also already quite old by now)

But the answer is probably lack of real alternatives.


The slogan "Wer hat uns verraten? – Sozialdemokraten!" has a rather long history. Coined by communist during the 1918 November Revolution, it referenced the social democrats at least tentative support of the suppression of the communist revolution and the murder of Karl Liebknecht und Rosa Luxemburg.

During Weimar times it was popular with both right-wing and left-wing forces. The Nazis - who sent social democrats to the concentration camps - also used it in their propaganda.

As much as I disagree with many of the things today's social democrats say and do, it's worth remembering that this slogan was popularized and predominantly used by anti-democratic forces. It's not a particularly fair thing to throw around carelessly.


FUCK the US government. That's it, I am rooting for China now


Isn't composition (react style) better for GUIs anyways?


That’s a good point.

Usually when people say to prefer composition over inheritance, that does not apply to the inheritance found in GUI, but as an alternative way to share behaviors as a property, « has a » instead of « is a », like has a role instead of being a user, admin..

That do not work well with GUI, where hundreds of of components are reusing common containers, widget behavior, it would be very verbose and painful to always declare common behaviors, data.

I think, React is cheating because it’s based on the web which already provide DOM node components and JavaScript, a GC language where most rust issues do not apply, there is already an underlying composition framework, the problem is that it is not easy to reproduce in rust.


It does on COM, but FOSS tends to disregard learnings from commercial platforms.

See VB 5 and 6 (when VBX got replaced by COM), and anything WinRT, UWP, WinUI.

The work Microsoft has been doing on windows-rs translates quite good into Rust, unfortunately the team doesn't like using designers.


There is also a specific kind of human that produce the slop on their own, without the need of an ai. Eg you ask a simple question and they talk for 5 minutes


5-30% is what a sizable amount of people upgrade their hardware for


looks at ancient desktop rig still doing everything I ask of it

Huh.

I wonder if they're the same people who complain that they don't have enough money to live.


Denuvu anti tamper isn't kernel level though


But it won't launch without being logging into your steam account


It will if it's DRM-free. The login check is an optional call that the developer has to intentionally use. Usually if you're a small developer releasing a DRM-free game you'd make your game degrade gracefully if Steamworks doesn't work, so you can publish the same builds on Steam and on any other store.


99% of games that use that sort of protection can be cracked in about 5 minutes by simply copying a steam emulator library into the game folder.


thus is not truely DRM free.

I love steam but even if it can barely be called a DRM, it still is. People not into computer science will have no clue how to do it, and that's what matters when talking about owning your own games, you should not require knowledge to keep something you paid for


All I'm saying is that it's an imperfect but reliable workaround for archiving your games.

What other choice do you have if the game is only available on Steam?

Of course in an ideal world it would be available in a true DRM-free installer but in the real world you'll always need to reach for messy workarounds that just work. This is one of them and most people probably don't know that it exists.


yeah I do agree with you, it's just unfortunate that that's the world we live in


"Not into computer science" lol. I knew how to copy a damn crack at 13 years or whatever and a barely figured out windows by that time. You act like people are stupid. Sure there are some console gamers who only use their phone for social media and are clueless about computers in 2026, but most people know how to copy some damn files over. They do not need to be in "computer science".


tech aware, i don't care how you call them, english is not my first language that's just the term I came up with on the spot. Non-tech aware people will not know about the steam emulators

Also that's the point. You purchased something you should not have to crack it to keep it.
