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 not too bad if it saves you a lot of time.

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.

um.. i think you shared one of his video a year or so ago.  so i saw that.  visually it looked nothing like what i saw today.  that footage had the core gameplay but graphics were pretty place holder.   

i've never been one to watch the special features on a dvd about how they made the movie.  and watching dev streams spanning years sounds like the same thing but only 100x worse.  i just want final products and not "early access".  i don't care how the sausage is made.

Best modern lara was 2013 lara before they listened to fans and redid her for the sequels.

i assume this is accurate because i found it on the internet:



i like them all well enough but i generally agree.  2103 was great.  sexy but in a way that was consistent with a real human female.  i also like she was very dirty all the time which is pretty consistent with all the running around outdoors she did.
