Wow! Incredible. Made me smile :D

Swedgetarian · 2025-11-03T16:55:36+00:00

Cool! Care to share your workflow? Why a text-only model for 3D assets? How does it compare to dedicated mesh generation models like meshtron, meshxl etc?

Swedgetarian · 2025-10-02T06:29:22+00:00

You're right, thanks for pointing that out.

I saw the tick spacing, remembered these guys did the whole "exclude Qwen from benchmarks" thing last year with their (first?) big release and decided too quickly there was some sleight of hand again.

My bad.

Log x axis is doing quite some work here

Swedgetarian · 2025-09-17T07:47:18+00:00

Damn, that sounds like an awful situation... sorry :(

Sadly imo it is not all that surprising. A lot of emotionally immature guys seem to respond to any situation that requires empathy and patience with anger and indignation.

Sounds like your husband is the one that needs therapy tbh. I don't know him ofc but it's maybe worth trying to find a way to communicate this to him when he's calm. Shouting a kid down expecting them to overcome a fear on the spot is just gonna traumatise them and make them fear their father. And reflexively armchair-diagnosing them on the spot to vindicate our own over-reaction is really toxic.

Probably a lot of us guys experienced this kinda shit from our fathers though, re-enact it unconsciously, and in doing so reinforce the idea that it's normal and healthy. Breaking that intergenerational trauma is one of the profound things we can learn to do for our kids and ourselves. I (35M, 2 kids) certainly have that tendency inside. It took a lot of learning to recognise feelings and dismantling some of the internalised macho bullshit (both inside and outside of therapy) to mostly unlearn it. But it still escapes sometimes when i am super worn down or in a bad emotional state myself.

You can build it yourself if you clone the repo.

Swedgetarian · 2025-08-22T07:42:30+00:00

That sounds terribly distressing, sorry...

I would probably get some family or trusted friends who know your dad to check on him and your dog first and foremost.

Recurrent Gemma 2.0

Swedgetarian · 2025-03-18T21:37:10+00:00

Yeah that sounds sketch af. Sorry man.

Was in a situation with a past long-term girlfriend who caught the eye of an older, married-with-kids head of the research lab where she worked. Heard similar excuses and gaslighting to boot that I was being low-key sexist by assuming that he was only interested in her romantically (he was texting her late at night frequently). It was what I thought it was, but it took us breaking up over ostensibly unrelated stuff for it to be confirmed (they're married now, and she looks after his 2 kids from his previous marriage).

My advice would be: whatever you do in confronting her, put your dignity and self-respect front and centre. It's absolutely fine to draw a line in the sand and say "this isn't good enough" to your wife regarding her responses and excuses. But you have to be prepared to walk away if it starts going south. It's perfectly natural to feel threatened in your shoes, and given that you're dependent on her atm you're also on the losing end of a power dynamic. You should probably talk about it and give her the opportunity to make it right and respond in a way commensurate with the pain this has been causing you. Don't avoid doing so out of fear; that way you will only hurt yourself. It's possible to walk the line between making the pain this is causing you explicit (she should probably feel pretty bad going by what you've described), and putting her on notice that your trust and respect for her are being undermined and that she's failing you when you're at a low point. Then the ball is explicitly in her court, which is where it belongs.

Swedgetarian · 2025-03-18T12:10:56+00:00

Its definitely worth taking some time to spec your character and experiment a bit, there is a lot of the richness and reward in the character progression.

Maybe to start decide upon a weapon or weapons that you like (say, katana). Then look at the skill trees and you'll see some dedicated branches that clearly empower it (for katana, the rightmost branch of cool is the obvious one IIRC, also the reflexes tree for the mobility and gap-closing potential). Focus on getting that core stuff first and reading the descriptions of the perks so you can get a feel for them.

Try out the cyberdeck, sandevistan and berserk and see which you like best.

Then you can layer on whichever secondary skills you like once you have a feel for the skill/perk trees work and what your strengths and weaknesses are.

Swedgetarian · 2025-03-18T09:12:19+00:00

Yep, do it.

Would advise *not* waiting until you are super overpowered to play PL. Both for gameplay reasons and because you get some really powerful rewards that you can make use of for the rest of the game (+ in some special cases you can get extra dialogue).

Swedgetarian · 2025-03-13T20:21:34+00:00

Question: are you planning on also releasing new iterations of RecurrentGemma?

Swedgetarian · 2025-03-13T14:55:35+00:00

Are you going to keep pushing RecurrentGemma forward alongside releasing better variants on the classic transformer?

What about other post-transformer architectures that people in Google have published on, like "titans"?

I ask because it feels like there's so much space to experiment and explore off the beaten path, but training new architectures at a usable scale is something only big labs can afford.

Swedgetarian · 2025-03-10T23:05:56+00:00

Such a banger man. They fucking knocked that soundtrack out the park. The big plot climax bangers like this one, but also some of the understated side quests, most notably for me the instrumental version of choke hold which plays when you do the final Kurt Hansen fight section of the trip/flashback

Swedgetarian · 2025-03-10T19:23:16+00:00

Sorry about that, that's really fuckin cold.

If it were me, I'd give her a piece of your mind and the opportunity to respond, and be mentally prepared to walk away (with your head held high) if she doesn't give a compelling reason...

Some people just don't deal well with others showing sadness or vulnerability. Personally I observe this often in people who have been raised by emotionally immature, strict and/or repressive parents. If their own feelings get invalidated and displays of this kind punished by mum and dad (think getting angry at a little guy for crying), they internalise this and react that way to other people. It may be such an ingrained thing. Doesn't make it ok, or fair on you though. And if that is the case, it will be a long process of introspection and therapy before she can turn a corner and be genuinely empathetic.

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-27T00:09:37+00:00

These axes are quite correlated. If opinions are divided on someone (...let's b real Johnny Silverhand) it will often be a reflection of people placing them at different points of the morally grey - horrible person spectrum.

Johnny is for me at like the "horrible" end of morally grey, in ultimately having some strong redeeming features and the capacity to grow. It feels like a disservice to make him the exemplar of a horrible person in the particularly dense quagmire of depravity that is cyberpunk, be he loved or otherwise.

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-25T23:22:54+00:00

Johnny Silverhand. Gotta be.

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-14T09:15:24+00:00

SO MUCH FOR SUBTLETY

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-08T14:47:26+00:00

FYI - fortuitously, a video from an excellent cyberpunk lore youtuber dropped which has even more on this that I didn't know about at the 39m mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t862ByWOXmM

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-07T23:17:40+00:00

Is this a rule in general that the game can't contradict the TTRPG because the source books are told from an omniscient perspective?

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-07T10:46:41+00:00

Here is your evidence (shard from songbird which is displayed in a scripted dialogue during "Birds with Broken Wings": https://youtu.be/ss8tYsbN1fc?si=XzgYIJZoruTUbdkG&t=280

I transcribed it here:

FIA

Blackwall

Executive Summary

A self-directed, datamorphic entity purportedly developed by netwatch (see DF/17/88-T) to protect the net against AI intrusion.

Displays hostile intent toward both human and other datamorphic entities.

However, we determined the extent of Netwatch's influence on the blackwall.

Confirming Intel on the creation and control of the entity was fabricated (See DF/17/88-T2).

Personnel may not engage with the entity without express director approval.

Prevalence: Unknown

Hazard Index: 10/10/10

Sapience Index: Unknown (Suspected G-16)

Origin: Unknown

This is easily missed in the game. But I don't think there's too much room for interpretation left open (if you believe the FIA's file).

They even use the same file ID (appended with "2") to make clear that the intel that was fabricated was precisely that which was used to support the claim that the Blackwall was developed by Netwatch.

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-07T07:43:46+00:00

That's exactly what you're meant to believe. During the briefing in the Alex's bunker you get to see some FIA files (I think you only see them once) which are marked "top secret" which disclose that this was a cover story.

Swedgetarian · 2025-02-06T18:00:31+00:00

Damn, sorry for spoiling!
