out at the minute but via era:

November consoles sales (usa) lowest since 1995. 

ps5 down 40%
xbox down 70%
switch 1 + 2 down 10% despite being switch's first holiday.  

CoD down double digits.  


I think this is a bellweather of the bad state of the economy.  maybe PC is killing it but with how expensive components cost I highly doubt it.

What a weird turn of events. He was unnominated because he had past donations to democrats, but then he was renominated somehow.

Anyway now it is official! Just got voted in.

Time to make nasa go all in on crazy cool stuff.

ask my wife.

i've been swamped with work this year.  everyone in the world is mad at me for declaring our software release to have too many bugs to release.  everyone knows its true but everyone wants me to just declare it good enough anyways.  they don't like it when i said we're in this boat because you lied to management about the state of the software months ago. 

in short i'm stressed the F out and not getting to many of my family responsibilities lately.    good news is i'm projecting the delay won't be long.  just a few weeks.  mid january.


i can really see how video games ship in a mess right now.  dear god the number of know-nothings talking a bunch of BS about a report saying things are amazing and i'm stupid and too pessimistic.  i'm the god dang product manager and you're the VP of marketing...

Ouch.

That's pretty cool! Context is everything.

I want to set up AI search for this forum. Load every single message into context, and let it rip. You could search for things even without the correct term.

It's that language learning server you're in, if you want to mess around with it. 

There is some weird issue I'm seeing with the Discord API. Not sure what to do about it. But it mostly works.

I feel like in practice, you'd probably want to train a lora by sending in messages like: 

post number #, author: , date:, post contents.  

Otherwise, you'd have a huge context...

I updated my Discord server's bot, to call the Ollama endpoint to generate a response locally.

Context of the last 10 messages, which it can find confusing. And it currently responds to everything except itself.

Yeah just wondering if my meh reaction is since it didn't show anything new to me.

As a fellow puzzle game fan,.. yes i think you are jaded from all your prior knowledge.   But i do agree with you above.   This looks great for puzzle game fans and not something the mainstream will care about.
