The bump system in Ys 1 is just an inferior combat system to what's used in the later games but the music original PC-88 music is amazing and maybe it's just me but the Chronicles music is even better youtube.com/watch?v=HplgXxaKu5

the vid isn't available 😔 but you just dug up a horrific memory, gameplay wise the first 2 games caused me so much trauma

AMD is the only x86 CPU vendor I will remotely bother with at this point, but folks shouldn't use x86 anyway if they can avoid it: theverge.com/2024/6/14/2417875…
in reply to Ariadne Conill 🐰

and for the love of all things, apply CPU microcode updates on your machines, *especially* with x86, where basically *zero* x86 cores have been taped out in the past 20 years that did not immediately need bugfixing in microcode

Startup Creates LEGO-Like Bricks That Can Affordably Remove Carbon Dioxide From the Air


"By nature, plants and trees are our best allies against carbon emissions. On top of “breathing out” oxygen, they capture CO2 during photosynthesis, keeping the world in balance. However, when they decay, the carbon they stored is released back into the atmosphere. Now, a startup called Graphyte has found an affordable and nearly permanent way to stop this process—sparing the world from tons of emissions through carbon casting."

A few weeks ago this girl complained at length about the lack of tasty food in her life. In an act of desperation I poured a tablespoon of water over her wet food and told her it was gravy. It's now her favorite meal. If she finishes her gravy before the food is gone she waits for more to be added before finishing her meal. #Caturday #OldCatsNewTricks

A good portion of their AI funding has been going to HI.

... to gig workers in foreign countries earning starvation wages.

... just another kind of theft, exploitation, and externalizing of costs and responsibilities.



I was grossed out when Apple got to image generation in their WWDC keynote, and I was grossed out when I read that Applebot scraped "the open web" to train their AI model, with publishers only being able to opt out after the fact. Disappointing to say the least.

Wanna know the best part?

According to our web developer's findings, the folks at Perplexity AI seem to be lying about the user-agent they're sending when scraping webpages.

They claim it should appear as 'PerplexityBot', but in reality, they mask it as Google Chrome running on a headless Windows 10 instance.

Details: rknight.me/blog/perplexity-ai-…

in reply to Federico Viticci

It's possible that there's different user agents based on if it's a request for training or a request for a user's query. To my knowledge of the topic, these models don't train live; it will not remember the page you asked to summarize, so likely these companies identify the requests differently.

That’s how Google works. You can block bard bot from LLM training, but you have block googlebot to be excluded from generative search results — effectively deleting you from search entirely. This is extremely problematic for a company that owns 85% or search. Give us your content, or don’t exist.

@Gargron That seems plausible but it's not documented at all and, worryingly, also not clear if user requests are then used to further train the model after use.


Been after a petrol strimmer for a while, but didn’t want to pay a stupid amount for one.

Found a non-running one for free locally. Wasn’t running because of perished fuel lines. £6 in parts and the thing is now running great. 😂

ok, I'll say it again in simplified English (should I drop all the U's from words and replace S with Z too? 😂)

I wanted a petrol strimmer (image below as you Americans probably call it something different, like a "spinny freedom grass chopper" or something). I got one for free as the previous owner thought the engine was fucked, but it wasn't. It just needed a service and some new fuel lines, which cost me around $8 for the parts.

That help? 😂

in reply to Kev Quirk

It always makes me giggle to say, but in the American South we call that a weed whacker.


Happy #Caturday from this jerk who screamed at the bedroom door to be let in, was let in, sat by the bed and screamed some more until I opened the curtains, then sat here, not even looking outside.

In nautical terms, this is known as the "Sith Wayfinder", and it works like a map or a compass or a homing beacon or something, I dunno, whatever the plot needs it to do, we literally never see it again, oh, and you plug in some 1/4" patch cables into it for some reason, what IS this franchise anymore anyway?

Amazing light work though! Hard to believe that's film and not some ultra-dslr. Where do you even get film negatives developed around here?
