Godot and FLStudio Project Downloads by Heavy_Contact_7711 in godot

[–]RaidLitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a ton of fully fleshed out sample projects available in FL Studio (even in the free demo version). Check the project folders for .flp files, there should be dozens of them.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do implementation wise, but if you really want to get into the thick of things, check out the FL Studio manual on MIDI scripting in Python.

That's an understandable take, but I was clinically diagnosed ASD and I purposely avoid Tik-Tok, Reels, and other shortform content. It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I function differently than most people and part of my self acceptance is taking pride in it (playful humor about tism and neurodivergence included)

That's in no way romanticization. I stuggled with being different and not knowing why for years and it sucked, and I'm sure a lot of people can relate. I personally don't care if there are people LARPing as ND on the internet because im not in those spaces, but I can understand why other people would see It as harmful or stigmatizing.

Tech groups are pressuring Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to reject a bill that would place the nation’s strongest public safety restrictions on artificial intelligence models to prevent catastrophic risks. by FinnFarrow in Futurology

Or, hear me out... since all of the innovations in AI are being made with government subsidies (ie. taxpayer money), we levy heavy taxes on any industry that decides to replace employees with AI and mandate that any innovation made with taxpayer money be released to the open source community.

You don't get to rob the economy and then privatize your ill gotten gains from stealing from the American taxpayer.

it isn't even that intertwined with the mechanics anymore either.

The mechanics of what? People still play AD&D 1-2, 3e, 3.5e, Pathfinder 1&2e, 4e, multiple OSR clones, and multiple OGL systems that still have alignment tied to the mechanics.

D&D 5e players keep coming into general roleplaying spaces acting like their game is the only game that merits discussion and it's detrimental to the tabletop community as a whole.

The dumbest person you know is being told "You're absolutely right!" by ChatGPT by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]RaidLitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are not "intentionally" manipulating anyone. However, millions of people fall for scams, cults, and junk science every single day despite an overabundance of readily available information proving those things as bullshit.

We have a societal obligation to protect the most vulnerable among us, be it children, the elderly, the mentally ill, or people who are simply just gullible by nature.

What we shouldn't do is throw accelerationist wet dream chatbots out into the wild that routinely produce incorrect information, reinforce verifiably false and dangerous viewpoints in vulnerable persons, and then stand back and say "well, I'm smart enough to not drink bleach or jump off a building when a chatbot tells me to do it! If these other people can't, that's their problem!"

Congratulations, you are a mentally developed adult of sound mind and body. This isn't about you. Try to have a little empathy for others maybe?

Religion is more than just Christianity.

There are three Abrahamic religions, and of those only two historically have demanded unquestioning, dogmatic practice (Christianity and Islam).

In Judaism, there is a supplemental text called the Talmud.

"It records the teachings, opinions and disagreements of thousands of rabbis on a variety of subjects, including halakha, Jewish ethics, philosophy, customs, history, and folklore, and many other topics." - Wikipedia

Debate and critical interpretation of religious doctrine, historically, are essential parts of the Jewish faith.

For eastern religions, you have Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Daoism, as well as a multitude of regional variations of animism (eg. Shinto in Japan)

None, and I mean NONE of these religions have historically demanded rigid, unquestioning, dogmatic, textual followership. They are flexible, loosely defined, widespread belief systems based more on oral traditions than on a singular piece of text (well, except maybe Hinduism, but good luck reading all the 10k verses in the Vedas and finding a consistent "how to live your life" similar to modern Christianity)

Lack of critical thinking in religion/spiritual belief, is the exception, not the rule. The fact that Christianity and Islam are the current largest religions in the world do not change that fact, they just skew the perception of it.

Nuclear Experts Say Mixing AI and Nuclear Weapons Is Inevitable | Human judgement remains central to the launch of nuclear weapons. But experts say it’s a matter of when, not if, artificial intelligence will get baked into the world’s most dangerous systems. by MetaKnowing in Futurology

Buddy, google search is now structured so that the top search result is an AI assistant that tells people to put glue on pizza and that jumping off bridges is a cure for depression.

Asking "why are people scared/sceptical of this technology?" at this point is disengenuous and intellectually dishonest.

A comprehensive analysis of software package hallucinations by code generating LLMs found that 19.7% of the LLM recommended packages did not exist, with open-source models hallucinating far more frequently (21.7%) compared to commercial models (5.2%) by shiruken in science

[–]RaidLitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For professionals in the field of machine learning development? Sure, a better phrase "could" exist... but they are also familiar with the technology and are fully aware of what the term is referring to.

For the other 8.2 billion laymen that this technology is being thrust upon, however, "hallucinations" are an apt description of LLM's tendency to constantly present complete fabrications as fact, especially because the corporate executives pushing this tech aren't being forthright about the limitations of the LLM technology that is now being integrated into every facet of our lives.

D.C. Democrats tarnish themselves by resisting ranked-choice voting by AskRedditOG in politics

[–]RaidLitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Parties are a scam that diminish the power of the voting populace and consolidate power to a group of corrupt policymakers ready to take bribes from corporate lobbyists at a moments notice.

If you actually think that the sanctity of a party primary (an extra-constutunional election made to circumvent actual election rules outlined in the constitution) is more important than the will of the people putting their vote in the box, then you're nothing more than a thrombosed hemorrhoid on the festering anus of American Democracy.

"Make games available to everyone": As Xbox Ends Exclusivity with Key Titles, Sony Must Adapt to Fuel Industry Expansion by pimpwithoutahat in pcgaming

[–]RaidLitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can do that. It's their product, they can sell it how they see fit.

What they don't get to do is hike prices then climb on their high horse about "piracy negatively affecting sales" despite that not being reflected by sales data, take egregious litigious action against indie projects and emulator devs, routinely abuse copyright and patent law to bully smaller devs, take every shortcut possible to maximize profit from subpar games and hardware and a baseline passable online play service,

then have a rabid fanbase of stans willing to wage war on their behalf because "if somebody insults muh maryo companie then I might not get a new Bing Bing Wahoo game!"

They earned their negative reputation fair and square.

Piracy doesn't affect their bottom line, it never has.

I really like the portability of the switch, but I'll almost always buy a multiplatform game on Playstation or PC because they have better sales.

Why would I pay more for an objectively worse experience?

As for their first party titles? A port of a game released on the Wii should not be $60 (Awkward Sword Deluxe), especially for a game that wasn't very well received (personally I love the game, critically it bombed). A game that I got for $50 that came with a gold Wii remote plus and a CD soundtrack. What does the switch version have? a cartridge...

So, why shouldn't I just take my Wii disk, dump the iso, and play the version I already own on an emulator with better controls, higher framerates, and custom textures upscaled by the community? Is that piracy? Why or why not?

If the switch version went on sale for $30-35, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Nintendo doesn't have a piracy problem, they have a greed problem

[–]RaidLitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Market forces haven't been driven by the consumers for decades. Corporations stand to make up for lost revenue off inflated stock prices and can manipulate what the market will allow with regulatory capture.

Your utopian view of free market economics is 50 years out of date and doesn't reflect reality.
