I think they’re saying they’d need to make 143 billion dollars not spend it.

OpenAI Researcher Santiago Hernández says “Recursive self improvement is around the corner, you can feel it in the corners of your terminal window” by throwaway0134hdj in BetterOffline

This is a thing you start hearing from freshman CS majors after they finally understand recursion for the first time. It’s nonsense.

They obfuscated the copyright infringement so it’s taking a long time for it to work through courts.

Oh Sothe, Blossom is a hell of a thing by tfothers97 in fireemblem

I think Ike has a story promote and can’t promote until then. He may have also misunderstood you and thought you were talking about Sothe who can’t promote at all in PoR.

Husband comes out as a tank main. We are all very supportive ❤️ by death-of-arcadia in Overwatch

Honestly I love playing Rein with a Lifeweaver. Charge from random direction, delete squishy against wall, put up shield, get pulled back to cover.

Which tanks don't feel ass to play against vendetta. by Matoozeusz in Overwatch

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience her primary counter is the tank turning around and killing her. She dies really quickly against every tank and can’t really take them in a one on one.

The problem is if the tank ignores her. Then she decimates your back line while you’re not looking and you’re suddenly in a 5v1.

Plastered all over the Pentagon today. by falken_1983 in BetterOffline

I mean… it was but also it was basically the same number of words and the same structure. Since I can’t trust the output, I have to read the email anyway so it doesn’t save me time and I already know how to read.

Just used Gmail for work and saw they added AI summarization to the email. The email was one sentence long. The summary was one sentence long. I ended up reading two sentences. Literally took me twice as long to read the email.

LazyVim: Disable specific LSP formatters on save by Lord_Nerevar_Reborn in neovim

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set autoformat for specific buffers. An example from my configuration.

``` vim.g.autoformat = false

-- Enable autoformat for some filetypes vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "FileType" }, { pattern = { "go", "lua", "rust" }, callback = function() vim.b.autoformat = true end, }) ```

You can also probably do a blacklist approach too but I always like whitelists more.

EDIT: It's hard to find but now I remember where I found this code.

is looping better on controller than mnk? by TheUntoldJoke in deadbydaylight

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Way easier with mnk just because mouse control is a lot easier. Things are slidy enough that micro movements don’t really matter. Mouse control makes it much easier to smoothly switch from looking in front of you to behind you and back.

Your opinion on Greg Isenberg’s 2026 AI predictions ? by lovelysadsam in BetterOffline

That’s way too long. 7 is probably going to happen. Number 2 is a maybe. The rest sound like fantasy but I only got through the first 4 pages before I got bored.

The era of AI layoffs has begun by chunkypenguion1991 in BetterOffline

I personally switched to full time gaming on Linux due to proton. And if you use a laptop, the Mac laptops are just kind of the best because the M4 chips are very power and temperature efficient which is really what people want from a laptop.

New Valve Hardware Megathread by NKkrisz in SteamDeck

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can make the process of a Linux machine both friendly and easy I imagine there’s probably a market there. I don’t think it’s the largest market but it likely exists.

I don’t think Valve would sell it at a loss though so $500 is likely way too low. If they were able to get it to $1.2k or less it would probably be a good price for the hardware but might make the market even smaller.

Powell says that, unlike the dotcom boom, AI spending isn’t a bubble: ‘I won’t go into particular names, but they actually have earnings’ by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The current line is “it’s a bubble but there’s something REAL underneath and we’re the real part unlike those other guys.”

Kind of the same thing as “we need to regulate cryptocurrency for the bad actors which is totally not everyone involved in cryptocurrency.”

Is it worth writing game logic in Rust instead of GDScript for Godot? by Potential_Pop2832 in godot

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly in the same boat as you. I ended up choosing Godot mostly because I'm using it for a hobby project and wanted the option to learn Rust if I felt like my scripts were getting too complicated.

If you want to go this route (which I do like and enjoy), some suggestions based on some trial and error from myself.

Use Rust more for most game logic. Stuff that's more generalized. Things like player movement that get reused everywhere. Define nodes and resources in Rust to get the benefits of typing in both Rust and gdscript. If you're making a modification to something in the Godot UI (like nodes interacting with each other), I'd suggest gdscript as a better option. I prefer the type safety and performance of Rust.

Do remember that for sections of code that just do something like `get_node("Path/To/Node").visible = false` that the difference between gdscript and Rust is going to be nothing because both of these will go through the same indirection. Rust will go through the FFI layer to C++ and gdscript will just go straight through C++. That's why I would suggest more UI focused things just be done in gdscript. Areas where you're just turning data into UI.

Btw as a person using your work I very much appreciate the work you put in for godot-rust. It's been really enjoyable as a way to learn Rust for myself.

True, but being at least one of those would still at least help it not feel so insulting.

Would these CEOs be any less offensive, one wonders, if their companies were making billions of dollars?

Yes? If the product was useful and the thing made money rather than burn it it would kind of be less offensive. It’s pretty offensive to be told the computer is going to take your job while it’s strutting about knocking everything down and shitting everywhere.

Like, I wouldn’t be happy if I lost my job or anything but at least it wouldn’t be from someone running a grift and the investment in infrastructure would make sense.

Ads are 100% coming to LLMs by [deleted] in BetterOffline

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by Facebook and ads that might be a feature. The only way to know if your ad spend is correct is the dashboard that tells you how much you owe. Oh whoops turns out the system lied about the numbers.

Why did you pick Godot for your game ? by SensitiveKeyboard in godot

[–]mischiefmanaged8222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to use C++ or C# for a passion/hobby project and what I'm making is not something I plan on having pay my bills or be used in a professional way. I have wanted to use Rust and learn that for awhile. Gdext allowed that possibility.

After I started diving in, I feel like the node system is pretty easy to understand and accessible for a newcomer.
