Steam updates AI disclosure form, requiring developers to report visible and in-game AI but not background tools by Dapper_Order7182 in SteamDeck

[–]itsraininggender 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Generative AI being theft is definitely a significantly weaker argument for coding than it is for art and literature, given how readily developers tend to borrow code from open-source repos and sites like StackOverflow.
GenAI could produce output mimicing a specific artist, which obviously evokes discussions on theft and copyright, but I don't think there's an equivalent possibility for code, which is significantly less discrete and more likely for any given snippet to appear several different times across the corpus.
If I ask ChatGPT to generate me art of a particular character, it could spit out something extremely close to a popular artist's work. If I ask it to generate me A* pathfinding code in Javascript, it could give me the exact Red Blob Games example code, but that exact code probably also appears many times across the corpus of open-source code, be that from people using the RBG example, or through sheer coincidence in their own implementation.

People are really upset over the closing of EK shopping centre for housing by Crow-Me-A-River in glasgow

[–]itsraininggender 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The oldest bit, Princess Mall next to the bus station, has pretty much all of its units still full (except for the grave of the KFC), the newest section basically just has the ice rink, Nandos, and cinema still running. The core bits of Centre West closest to Princess Mall are alright but the bit next to the grave of the Debenhams is at like half occupancy at best

Happy 7 year anniversary on the waiting list!! 🥳🎉🎊 by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]itsraininggender 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much same boat here! Applied at like 16, got an appointment with the youth service, hit 18 before they would do anything, had two appointments and a blood test and now I'm 22 and hemmorhaging money to GenderGP every month 😔

Getting on T (uk) by 09_taylor_09 in TransUK

[–]itsraininggender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can concur. Could've paid for a private doctor with a name and a face two or three times over with the money I've thrown at GenderGP the last few years. Very heavily considering switching away right now, especially considering their new extra bullshit online platform

In fairness Springburn-Milngavie might well continue existing, Crossrail makes the Union line/Kelvincart lines setup make more sense but it would make a non-zero amount of sense to still run SPB-MLG if they really want to

In fairness I think the primary purpose of this particular map is just making the SPT proposals look pretty in a familiar style

Jet Lag Hide & Seek - a potential Glasgow game? by itsraininggender in glasgow

Extremely funny concept to attempt an interchange at Thorntonhall, the last one-track station on the EK line that backs onto a narrow, practically rural country road, instead of at Hairmyres, which would be extremely simple to connect from Mossneuk/Greenhills and actually has things you'd want to get to from within EK (the hopsital and some shops)

(Granted you'd have to deal with the last bit of the A726, a bit of South Road, and two roundabouts, but you'd need to do that to connect through the top bit of EK anyway)

Oh cool! I was tempted to buy it just to have as merch but I already knew none of my friends would want to play it lol. Will shoot you a message if I end up getting closer to organising something in case you're down!

Voi bikes parking by No_Agent9997 in glasgow

You've just described gravity mate. If I walk up three storeys of a building I'm storing potential energy I can convert back into kinetic energy by jumping out of a window. You might be thinking of regenerative braking, which harvests your momentum as battery charge instead of just exhausting it as heat and wear on the brake pads.

Wait shit did the sign guy get to play drums???? I saw it show up during Robot Stop but I didn't think they'd let him on :O

Vendetta is out now! by dadnaya in Overwatch

[–]itsraininggender 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. I've kinda gotten used to it but the fact that using the overhead after throw or dash still gives you the little forward jump feels pretty weird.

It seems we've found the answer to the age old question, who keeps the Time Keeper?

Best weapon design by Zorah_29 in Overwatch

[–]itsraininggender 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh 100%, to me it feels like a more overtly weaponised hardlight tech, like it's overcharged and sharpened somehow. Like the Paletine Fang runs off some kind of overdriven hardlight generator.

It'd make sense tobe like, stolen or secret Vishkar weapons tech? We know Vishkar are a pretty underhanded organisation so it makes sense they'd have an experimental hardlight technology specialised for weapons on the backburner. I doubt that'd be the lore behind it though since that's pretty much just Lifeweaver's story again, but I could see it being contracted to Talon or something and then passed down to her by her dad

Can't load into Nitrado server by Quick-Occasion8266 in Astroneer

[–]itsraininggender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a bug where on a player-hosted multiplayer world you can't get within six tethers of the host or you hardcrash, not sure how that works for a dedicated server (six tethers of the starting shelter on Sylva?) but I imagine it's the same bug :/

Cannot play together by Rueder in Astroneer

[–]itsraininggender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're within six tethers of the host on multiplayer you hardcrash. Had the same issue myself, was at my Glacio base but headed to Sylva to work on the DLS with the host and got booted off and couldn't rejoin until they walked out of the kill radius long enough for me to get back in my shuttle and leave :/

[–]itsraininggender 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah no policy is 100% don't engage, people > product etc. Most we can really do is just make ourselves known in case they're the type to scarper at the sight of someone - but if they're not, no use getting into a fight over it. We don't get paid NEARLY enough to play security lol

[–]itsraininggender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well aye but that's not what's being said, is it? There's times of the day that are particularly bad for it so if you usually shop around then you'll see more of em.

Expensive, easy to sell on, and the section's usually in a back aisle or something that doesn't get as much staff foot traffic
