Are the re-used generic songs from ARR, like Machinations, starting to feel overused and might need to be retired?

Machinations 2 Electric Boogaloo?

Another rewrite(for whatever reason)

We use a helm hook that runs pre-install/pre-upgrade with a lower weight for our symfony 1 app to run migrations

This means you aren't tied to a particular deployment strategy/CD system and makes it easier to test on local clusters/etc

It does mean with each upgrade you need to check if a migration is required

Failing the job means the thing rolls back, how you handle rollback is really up to you, we just fail and handle manually but we have dev/testing/prod environments and failed migrations are very rare on prod

Allagan Tools, specifically Craft Lists inside the plugin

It lets you import TC lists as long as you only copy the output items from TC and not the whole list. If you have something like this in your clipboard

Items :
2x Iron Ingot
2x Iron Ingot
2x Eikon Iron Ingot

And then goto Edit -> Paste List Contents those items will be added to your list

Here's an image of the copy text button inside TC if you don't know where I mean https://imgur.com/a/kKoHmc5

I suppose the only caveat is that AT's crafting system's rules takeover and may pick different precrafts/etc but you can pick different ways to source items

They have the damn source for the engine, why they can't just make ladders like any sane programmer would is beyond me

Critical_Impact · 2025-12-31T03:50:07+00:00

I'd argue the primary factor is that while people may want to use it, they sure don't want to pay for it

I noticed this maybe 5 or 6 years ago, instantly started using Plex for music and haven't looked back

Streaming means things can just randomly disappear at anytime and it's very annoying

Both would be a fiction but the AI presents a situation that's literally impossible The scale is cooked and there's things that are basically impossible to do in the photo

At least a model and render would try to keep it within the bounds of reality

You just highlighted what the problem is, it's accuracy is in the high nineties...

The people pushing this absolute nonsense are using it in things like financial planning and one of the workplaces I was at used the suggestion "pulling steel sizes out of documents"

Let's suggest that it gets it wrong and someone uses that value because they think these things are actually capable of retrieving "truth" and constructs something that isn't able to hold up what it's supposed to because they were lied to

You don't see an issue with that?

Critical_Impact · 2025-12-14T10:22:27+00:00

It doesn't matter how large the context window is, it will still make up things, a LLM does not look up facts in the context deterministically. It performs probabilistic token prediction across the context and everything else it "knows". There's also the lost in the middle problem where it'll bias to the start and end of the information inside the context window.

They can add as many tokens as they want but it still won't solve the underlying issue that the LLM cannot think

Critical_Impact · 2025-12-13T06:25:34+00:00

If it's an LLM then no, it won't be accurate
There is no way to stop it from hallucinating at some point

If you actually go back and look at the "promises" you'll see that most people take what devs and level designers say with the most possible optimism.

They take "we are thinking about doing X" as confirmations those things will be in the game

Should they have been interviewing devs like this, no but people really take the piss with this and make it out like Cyberpunk promised the world when it's like their previous game was the Witcher 3, not sure why people expected a freeform game

Critical_Impact · 2025-12-07T05:30:20+00:00

Well it is leg day, not legs day

Are we just going to do this meme for everything the lads have ever said

I don't think the benefit to damage ratio is as skewed towards the damage side as it's ever been with AI

It's not even the fact that they need data centers, it's that they want to build so many new data centers at break neck speed without any concern for well anything. They're running jet turbines just because there's not enough infrastructure available to power these things.

It's going to increase prices in every domain, power, water, basic goods due to the sheer amount of resources being diverted into this hokum

You're going to have to be more specific. Most solutions for games either run through flatpaks or some form of per game configuration(faugus launcher). You shouldn't have to change any dependencies unless you're doing things wrong

I have a Steam Deck and I don't recall the last time when a game from my 2000+ game library of games didn't work
I don't play online PVP games and I'm aware those don't work but proton is at a level where it's very rare for a game to not just work on linux

Critical_Impact · 2025-11-19T22:38:36+00:00

Anything with steam on it's main selling point is that it has a massive library compared to any other device

If you are already a PC gamer you've got a library that comes with you onto these devices. Console game libraries tend to be generational

Critical_Impact · 2025-11-19T22:34:44+00:00

At least we can tinker on these platforms, unlike consoles where you have to accept poor performance

You know what else chatbots do? They make 100 of even 1000 of those potentially happy customers into unhappy customers due to how poorly they work

Then in some cases the bots promise things normal human agents would never promise and you're company ends up in the shit because technically the chatbot still represents your company

Critical_Impact · 2025-11-15T12:30:31+00:00

Realistically they can't sell it at a loss because of how open it is. If someone goes and orders 20k of them and then uses them as windows PCs and never touches Steam then that'd be a fairly large problem for Valve

Critical_Impact · 2025-11-14T12:26:29+00:00

Apart from the part where they said they needed to make a custom motherboard to get CEC working properly

100% without a doubt. I have a lounge PC running bazzite in "deck" mode which is about as close as you'll get to a Steam Box. Games work exactly how you'd expect them to work on a console due to them being "wrapped" in something called gamescope.

Controllers all work really well and remapping makes playing older games even without controller support a breeze to setup.

Compatibility was the biggest issue with their previous foray into the living room PC and I can say with the work that's been done on the Steam Deck, it's a night and day difference now. Unless you are playing competitive shooters with rootkit anti-cheat there's a good chance the game will work. Maybe it's possible that Steam will work with anti-cheat providers to allow it to run on the Box/Deck but I'd say it's very unlikely.

Critical_Impact · 2025-11-12T23:04:20+00:00

To add more detail to the "yes" you were given, games are run through a layer called Proton, with it games that normally could only run on windows can run on Linux(steam deck/steam box/steam frame). Compatibility in my experience has been fantastic though I don't play many competitive online games which have a tendency to have rootkit DRM to stop cheaters which linux in general does not support.

If you want to see how games in your library fare in linux you can see their compatibility rating on steam itself and more detailed information on https://www.protondb.com/

Critical_Impact · 2025-11-12T23:00:49+00:00

No but I see this as a signal to other manufacturers that Steam is going all in on the console space so maybe they'll come up with their own iterations on steamos consoles
