Jennifer Lawrence acts like she can act in this hard hitting movie that goes no where because the slow burn turns to an icicle

@sand oxide @proud jay for the literature connoisseurs in you, this movie was a book first. enjoy

proud jay

you need to know something before you can critisize it

chrome gull
#

can you tell me what "21:24" or "53:34" mean?

#

(im making the numbers up)

#

what do they refer to?

sour shuttle

the new icon be looking like glados and that's uncomfortable for some reason haha

I am not a fan of the icon either

Aren't you Australian, Calamari? Surely you're more likely to be a giant spider than a man.

I thought you were gonna say more likely to be stupid

Back in my day floats were 16bit

back in my day floats were things you used to float on water

pearl elk

We still use those in the troughs

lofty lark

I ain't ever had a float like that except for root beer float

Is that just fruity drink with a fruity ice cream?

We dont call em floats here.... theyre called spiders funnily enough

Ads in the compiler output, you can thank me later MS

#

Google is sitting there like, you guys put apps in your ads

fathom wadi
#

Amazon just announced that if you have Amazon Prime, they are going to put ads in unless you pay more. It's going to get the point you are going to have paid ads that you pay to get rid of next.

pearl elk

Yeah I saw that, dunno if thats different to the current ads or more ady ads. Atm its just promos for other prime shows you can skip

Googles been super aggressive with YT premium ads, pain in the butts

Mmm free goo

Impastas everywhere

bronze axle

I have, and I decided against doing so unless I can provide something new to the community. There are already many repositories of tutorials, blogs, etc. out there. I will be elevating projects, tips, and resources from the community on the website and via the newsletter for now.

bronze axle

They do not. Moderating the Discord server remains a volunteer position.

I wanna roll with, the slackers

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

don't call me out like that

pearl elk
#

There are vampires with jobs that slack here all night on their night job

fleet tangle
#

I slack off on here a lot, but half the time I'm learning stuff to help with my job.

#

I do actually do work as well though ๐Ÿ˜›

proud jay
#

for me it varies

#

if I can't focus, I just get on here and it gets worse

#

yes, I do hate myself sometimes

proud jay
#

I should really get into the nap game

#

my main problem is really build times I think

fleet tangle
#

Threadripper, go!

proud jay
#

cause like when I'm working in c++ it takes like 2 or 3 minutes to compile some small changes depending on what I'm doing

#

I can't just sit there staring at the screen

proud jay
fleet tangle
#

Oh dear.

#

And cool.

proud jay
#

we just have a very shitty custom build system for some reason

#

even if you don't make any changes it takes like 40 sec lol

fleet tangle
#

Management thought it'd be cool.

worldly sapphire
#

I won't lie, sometimes I put on a VR headset and pretend I'm testing something while I'm actually closing my eyes for a couple of minutes

proud jay
#

they're working on using CMake though

fleet tangle
#

Sometimes the UHT takes that long for me tbh. Just occasionally.

proud jay
#

but idk if that's gonna be better

proud jay
#

why the 40 sec time waste that does nothing

#

don't even dare mention someone having to trigger a full rebuild for everyone for some reason

#

then you lose like 90-110 min

#

now imagine that x200 engineers

#

we do have a shitty system with caching though

#

but for full build it's shit

#

some people also have a nightly local build enabled, but that just fucks with your git 80% of the time

#

so there might be hope yet

Did you ever play around with non-3x3 'rubiks cubes'?

#

pyraminx's, 4x4's, etc.

I'm certan you'd be able ot solve the pyraminx too

It's a pretty intuitive one, especially since you already have experience with 3x3

I got it as a gift from someone i think? I then used it as a gag in school/college when people would ask about wanting to try solving one of my cubes. Then I'd hand them the 1x1 kek2

Please not my Gan! It was a limited edition!

#

I was missing two cubes. Found another 3x3 in my spare room

#

Mirror cube

#

It's a shapeshifter. Which means the scrambled shape is a different shape than the solved state.

delicate minnow
#

cube

lofty lark
#

the xtreme skewb is a "simple" one to solve. It's like a 2x2 in the sense that turns divide the shape in perfect halves. 3x3 your turns divide the shape into 1/3 and 2/3 parts. 4x4 your turns divide the shape into 1/4 and 3/4, or halves (2/4 and 2/4). I hope that explains it in a sensible manner ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm more worried about the fact you have a skull as avatar sir

bronze axle
#

Skeletons can be friendly.

ivory lodge
#

Yes, weasels prefer skeletons to whole people.

#

Also my mentor, Skeletor.

zinc wagon
bronze axle
#

I'll take that into consideration.

#

It's always a challenge naming and branding something. No matter how much research and design you do, you won't know how people interpret it until you actually ship it.

Yeah, when I have to dive into the source, I'm not having a good day.

Hah, I can believe it! You never know what people will see in a logo.

#

On the bright side, some of you have already created some amusing memes of the new logo.

lofty lark

iirc, zomg was the first one to post a meme of it

bronze axle

I will probably iterate on it in the future, but for now I will leave it so I can focus on content.

bronze axle
ivory lodge
#

I made the lisp games logo. I was proud of that one.

median wraith

I mean the logo is cool, seems like what you said, a core and there comes the beam off, but I had a bad time searching the server the last day once you changed it ๐Ÿ˜…

i didnt dislike it. it was just a bit unclear for the meaning behind it

#

now it makes sense

#

and i dont mind it much

lofty lark

Apologies for any lack of clarity in the messaging so far. I am sure I could have done better. There were a lot of moving parts to launch this thing, so I will be improving things as time goes on.

I should clarify: a lot of people are saying they like "Slackers" because it describes the purpose, i.e. slacking off. I have never liked that association, which is part of the motivation behind changing the name.

median wraith
ivory lodge
#

You could install unreal for that much space. Or make your own game.

bronze axle
#

I like slacking off here in the fun channels, but I don't want that to be the primary call to action for the community. I hope that makes sense.

ivory lodge
#

When I'm not working I'm slacking. That's the only purpose of this discord. Unless I want to ask questions but this is not the best place for that.

bronze axle
#

I understand, and there are others like you, but most people come here to ask questions and connect with other developers.

ivory lodge
#

Although I did get some help yesterday making a C++ DataAsset.

lofty lark
#

But what are we, the community? Who are we? Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

ivory lodge

@lofty larkYes. And to create capital for the ruling class.

It's probably an indexing issue, and also may be proving my point.

I suspect what's happening is Google's crawler is reading the site content and misattributing it to the old name.

zinc wagon
# bronze axle I am conservative in regards to the current wave of AI technology. I understand ...

that's super fair. though as of right now im having a great time using AI not as a source of information and knowledge but as a way to do boring tasks for me. for example the other day i told it to write a very common struct type and it did it in seconds instead of me taking like dozen seconds to write myself. also it's pretty useful for naming variables and commenting my code tho i still do re-read and correct it if needed

bronze axle
# carmine frigate no for using their work

You jest, but I am reminded of a very frustrating incident that happened some time ago. There was an artist who was streaming on Twitch as they drew fan art of a Genshin Impact character. Someone who was watching the stream then took a screenshot of their half-finished work, prompted an LLM to finish it, posted it as their own before the stream was over, and then made a big stink about how the streamer was stealing their work.

zinc wagon
#

tl;dr i think the best use case for AI is if it's treated as a tool to help with a task, not to do the task for you

ivory lodge
#

I think Russia is using AI to plan their Ukranian offensive.

#

It's the only answer that makes sense.

carmine frigate

#

WarGPT is a terrifying concept

ivory lodge

Think about attaching shock collars to an AI.

zinc wagon
carmine frigate
#

you play the hype more than the art

bronze axle
bronze axle
#

The fact that someone had the audacity to do that and then ask for credit is absurd, of course.

unreal ether
#

Then you also have those that even when presented with the truth, refuse to believe it

bronze axle
#

Indeed.

bronze axle
#

It is more difficult than ever to discern the truth online, and many uses of AI are making it worse.

carmine frigate
#

i do agree that a sensationalized title gets a lot of hits and ppl dont really care for the conclusion... that that has nothing to do with AI

bronze axle
ivory lodge
#

I was shocked that many people have no concept of actual truth. It's just anything they can get you to believe.

carmine frigate
#

hell they will most often just read the title and draw conclusions from that

bronze axle
#

It's been around far longer than any of these LLMs have.

#

I am just rooting for the people who want to fix the problem instead of embracing it as the only way to live.

carmine frigate
#

there is no fix ๐Ÿ˜›

bronze axle
#

I guess you fall into the latter camp.

#

I disagree.

ivory lodge
#

Yes there is. Similar to washing our hands. We know about germs so we fight them. We now know about memes and need to learn to fight them.

bronze axle
#

There is no closing Pandora's Box, but we can still fight what was released. Living with it does not have to mean embracing it.

carmine frigate

#

Also, if you are concerned about amoral, profit driven super-intelligences taking over the world, it already happened. They are called corporations.

carmine frigate
#

#

so you get to see the accusation... but not the conclusion

#

@regal pecanThey are smarter than an individual.

carmine frigate
#

the guy that made the accusation prolly had no reputation from himself ... nothing to destroy... that should tell you enough

So some reputation based economy? Like in Eclispse Phase?

We will need to teach people new techniques for discerning and discovering the truth, which, frankly, is not unprecedented. Our understanding of the truth has always been evolving.

It's good to talk over the nuance, though. I encourage more nuanced discussion, especially around these topics.

personally if i stop smoking i start to drink more, if i stop drinking i eat more ๐Ÿ˜›

I think it's tedious in an unstructured discussion. We require legal or philosophical structures to make it worth it. Otherwise I may as well be waiting for Unreal to download.

Some will resist AI completely, while others will simply learn to work within the system. Either approach can be seen as virtuous, depending on your values.

get that running dopamine

ivory lodge

Are we going to have to deal with 70's amish, 80's amish, 90's amish, etc?

zinc wagon
# carmine frigate and they all replaced their habits and addiction with something new ๐Ÿ˜›

not necessarily. addiction by definition is the body relying heavily on something. heroin would provide the body with extreme external amounts of dopamine that the body pretty expects it. extreme sport on the other hand give you internal dopamine which the body actually producing it which stops the body from relying on anything external plus it's easier to stop extreme sport if needed.

Where they say "80's tech an no more!"

what is this? I created a paypal acc and was configuring two factor auth in it. For some reason there was a device called "kiev" in there. Kiev is the name of the main city in Ukraine.

I'm convinced T2 was just a list of visual effects they wanted to make and so they wrote a movie around them.

#

Yes. Like the matrix. I'm so glad they never made a sequel.

#

Although I feel stupid for not noticing the trans allegory.

#

Also i think people miss the idea of StarWars. It's subtle, but it's in the name. It's a delivery vehicle for WW2 stories. The Falcon? A Catalena Flying Boat. Han is an expat. Literally, he could walk in from the 70's. Once people started caring about cannon and fake history, the power was gone.

#

Example: Remake Midway shot for shot, but using starwars footage.

#

I didn't care for any of the disney movies execpt parts of the second felt right. Again, I think they mistook certain themes as starwars but forgot the actual root. Maybe if they wanted to look at the cyclic nature of war that would work, but outside of that.

#

96% installed... That should be close enough to start it up.

#

The likelyhood of me using any of the new unreal features is very slim.

#

I didn't come over here on the Unity Raft, but still...

#

There was a youtube video: "Unity: Good enough for bad games."

#

I chose unreal because I hate C# and Java.

Hello fellow Unreal Sourcers

upper oracle
#

It's definitely up to the developer, not the engine, to make a bad or good game.

I think people should make games they think are fun/want to make.

ivory lodge
#

@upper oracleYup. That's what I want.

regal pecan
#

I think people should make games I want them to make
but if they don't that's fine.

upper oracle
#

I have five games I want to make. My dream game was too big of an idea for a solo dev so I slowly lowered my scope four times until I got to where I am now.

#

But all five are from my favorite genres, taking what I loved from other games in that genre, leaving out what I don't like, and adding my own spin on them.

That way, when I inevitably get a max of 10 copies sold at least I'll have fun doing it.

austere stirrup

the issue is I dont like putting on headphone when im speaking

so idk if the speakers would cause an echo?

zinc matrix

you could try speakers

#

yeah probably

#

there is a good bit of background noise in his

#

@austere stirrup look at the Rode VideoMicro

#

idk if its any good i just was looking around and thought it would be a good one

austere stirrup
#

but do you need headphones?

#

because I have desktop speakers and when people speak it might echo back

#

ya maybe but I heard a few people complain about the quality of my mic lol maybe I should ask them if its the echo

fleet tangle
#

There's pretty good noise cancelling these days and parabolic mics will probably not pick up your speakers.

zinc matrix

whats parabolic mean

#

nvm im just gonna look it up

It means it only picks up sound from one direction.
