My favorite question: "so can I access this without patreon?" No. That would defeat the purpose of putting it on patreon.

While the old system couldn’t carry on a conversation, you knew what you were getting. Gemini sometimes goes off on a tangent or forgets that it does, in fact, have access to a particular tool. That can make it frustrating to use for what’s supposed to be a quick voice interaction, but this is the future.

Google needs an intervention😭

@Tamasg@mindly.social Also the studio has been around for a long time, the engine had been around for at least twelve years before that, so they probably were just used to it at that point. There are always valid reasons why things are the way they are. Doesn't help me out though!

@Tamasg@mindly.social Like I assume no actual dev actually wrote less than b r greater than into the code, they made a design tool and it just outputs it that way, because someone else had a weird dependency or they thought they were being clever or something, IDK. But yes, over all the whole thing feels over-engineered to solve problems that are already solved.

In Detroit: Become Human, the game I am currently modding, you interact by holding a mouse button then dragging the mouse in an indicated direction. Or on controler, move the right analog stick in that direction. The direction indicator is an arrow. So far so good. Arrow glyphs already exist in unicode: ←↑→↓. Screenreaders read these no problem. So logically, one would expect them to have simply copy and pasted these arrow symbols, since that is perfectly reasonable and straightforward. Did they do this? Hahaaaa nope! The arrow asset is a movie clip containing the image of an arrow, with instructions to rotate said arrow by the amount specified by an engine variable. I hate everything.

@kev@dragonscave.space I mean, the bible and the Tora does feature rather a lot of killing, in righteous and not-so-righteous contexts. On the other hand, there is the whole thou shalt not kill thing. Presumably they would say the commandments only apply to how jews treat other jews, the Palestinians are the other so they can go fuck themselves. That's kind of the whole debate, who does or doesn't count as your people.

@ToniBarth@troet.cafe @jonathan859@someplace.social @matt@toot.cafe You can turn credits on or off, or you can set a monthly limit, what you can't do (as far as I know) is tell it to only use your useage credits for fable work (which isn't part of pro) but to not use useage credits for opus (which is included in pro). It will just use the cash if it's there, unless you tell it not to, but then you can't use fable either. And you know you want to!

Gaza Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
A hundred IDF soldiers staged a mass desertion of one of their bases, because the commander had some signs taken down. Not over the raping and pillaging of Palestine, that would be silly. https://www.timesofisrael.com/soldiers-stage-mass-walk-out-at-southern-idf-base-after-row-with-their-commander/

@matt@toot.cafe Part of why I never moved forward is I couldn't decide what language I should learn, for a few reasons:

  • Some languages stick around because they are better at doing different things
  • Other languages do not stick around because they suck and get superseded by new languages
  • Some languages really suck, but stick around anyway
  • Some languages are really good but are uncommon so learning them doesn't help you get a job as something more generalized
  • Most languages have really weird sintax about certain things
  • The language is evolving (usually in a better direction, but still) making your ground truth obsolete after a few years.

So really, you shouldn't learn one language, you should learn three or four to be on the safe side. That all seemed like entirely too much work.

@matt@toot.cafe I understand at a certain point I am just railing against things being the way they are, but like, having that understanding of, "this type of languages does things this way, because it's trying to do this, and so it's probably going to be good for doing that." So I can structure the learning. Would be good. On the other hand, if the answer is something like, "well, c is really hard, but you can do basically anything with it so you'll probably end up there, but Python is simpler and has really good docs and you can still do a lot with it. So that could be a good starting point!" Just says to me "come back to the serious stuff in five years when you're a real engineer" which I know isn't actually how it is but you get what I mean. It is demoralizing.

@matt@toot.cafe For what I'm currently doing, I think I need an LLM. The bredth of basic knowledge it has about different coding languages and frameworks means I can point it at just about anything and say "do x," and it knows enough to get started. But I could be doing something else. If I were to design my own app, better tutorials would definitely be good. I need to get invested in how learning the thing will make me better at doing what I'm trying to do. A lot of programming concepts are reusable and a structured learning that takes you through those things, then focuses on languages, would probably help with the choice paralysis. I can learn a concept, then see how that concept gets implemented, then learn more about the ones that I, erm, vibe with. From there, it's just a matter of familiarizing yourself with the tools, conventions, etc. of the thing you've chosen.

@nolan@gts.thewordnerd.info @zersiax@cupoftea.social @menelion@dragonscave.space @matt@toot.cafe Yes exactly, even with the Unity games, they are all on different engine builds with different middleware and yada yada. I would spend years learning how to do something that's either unmarketable or uninteresting. This is taking months to learn something that is interesting and marketable. I unfortunately have to optimize how I spend my time doing what I enjoy so that it earns its keep, as do we all. We have just been made to accept a lower standard of tool for getting that done than our sighted peers.

@ToniBarth@troet.cafe @jonathan859@someplace.social @matt@toot.cafe Did you see what they did with Fable? You can't use it with the monthly plan anymore, it needs useage credits. So they gave me $100 in promotional credits! "Oh yay," I think to myself, "I can reserve these for the Fable work." Wrong! It uses useage credits whenever your subscription runs out. You cannot stop it. That $100 was gone in less than a week. I predict more of these shenanigans in the future.

@nolan@gts.thewordnerd.info @zersiax@cupoftea.social @menelion@dragonscave.space @matt@toot.cafe I feel this too. The big hurtle in Date Everything was getting autowalk to work, which involved computing a map from the offline geometry and a thing to move the camera to point the right way. That's a bunch of math, vertices, working out how to drive the camera vectres, reading those locations for objects, and on and on and on. Beyond the complexity of all that work, none of that knowledge actually interests me, it's just something I need to get the thing working. Hooking the screenerader is way more interesting and reusable for what I'm doing.
