Not related but I think I finally know how it must have felt to the generation prior to mine, when we tried to explain computers to them; because even as a retired 30 year plus software engineer, I have no idea what the comment says.

I felt a little panic when I understood every word of what was meant to be adjacent to scifi-style garbled engineering speak, and I think I'd rather be on your side of the spectrum.

I hate that I understood the post.

Unc you're so cooked it's not even funny younger than me but you're out here aura farming in the negatives fr fr. NPC-ahh behavior, 0 aura, -1000 rizz. Couldn't be me

Sorry couldn't resist ( ・ั ﹏ ・ั )

Not sure what you didn't understood in their comment though, maybe the raph loop (and jev which was just released)? Isn't the rest completely self explanatory?


It's almost all related to LLM's, which is fairly new.

Basically he's describing an LLM assistant setup that does coding on a vps or Mac mini ( some contradiction with Openrouter though) where you can communicate with the assistant through telegram


OK I do use AI in the browser but haven't tried anything like what you describe. I Googled telegram in case it wasn't what I was thinking, which was used in the 1800's but found their website. It's apparently another messaging platform. Thanks for the interesting view.

The tl;dr of the tl;dr is treating the model setup like an autonomous robot with its own machine to use and just telling it what to do via chat rather than directly supervising it, which is bonkers in some ways (all the open internet/service access/permissions stuff you would imagine), and smart in others (a fully isolated machine means it can fuck up something locally or run high-load tests without taking down your important systems).

>some contradiction with Openrouter though

No the joke is that you need to protect the review server from a runaway humanoid robot pulling the plug on the review server.

Or the opposite, the runaway humanoid robot is controlled by an openclaw server that can't be located and shut down.


I agree, Kubuntu here last 4 years, Ubuntu before that starting 2006.

While I used to.distrohop a bit at the beginning of the century, my current Fedora 44 install dates back from Fedora 25 or 26 which I believe was released somewhere around 2017. It has moved from one laptop to another as I couldn't be bothered to reinstall.

I don't define myself as a linux user either. Using some kind of Linux or BSD has simply been the pragmatic choice for around 3 decades compared to what always looked like opaque and user hostile proprietary operating systems.


I agree, it would be easy for a security research to discover if a TV tried to do that and would result in an even greater stuffstorm than LG is dealing with now or that Samsung dealt with in the past.

More advertising money (the irony) by conflating capabilities of a Turing complete OS with actual behaviour

> A TV not on the Internet is basically worthless these days, unless you have a third-party streaming device like a Fire or Shield--and then you're just moving the trust point from the TV itself to the streaming device, and the same concerns exist.

We use a Kubuntu Linux laptop behind the TV with a wireless mouse and keyboard (for searching and stuff), stream in Chrome, works great. And yes, we trust this combination.

> Do you trust Amazon any more than you trust LG?

We don't use Amazon device products just because we use Kubuntu Linux on PC's in our home but yes based on LG's behavior we trust Amazon more and we don't put our LG TV or any of our LG appliances we bought a few years ago, on the Internet.


We do that but use a Kubuntu Linux laptop behind the TV and a wireless mouse and keyboard (when we want to pause a movie in Chrome and search for something, like details about an actor in a movie).

> I pick NMS when I want to chill and feel lost in the endless world, and when I want challenge I play other games.

Wow, I bounce around several space games and play each for different reasons. Your statement explains it perfectly.


> Mechanics are not complex compared to simulator sandboxes like E:D or more in depth survival crafter games.

Everything about ED is what I like about NMS and vice versa for that matter.


> This is why a cool tech solution (procedural generation of "levels") by itself isn't good enough.

It's more than good enough for me and the roughly 10K typical players per month, and that's just on Steam.

I prefer procgen, I do not prefer hand crafted planet games, nothing changes in them.


Indeed, https://steamdb.info/app/275850/charts/ shows it ticked up with Cosmos but the typical average of around 10K players isn't bad.

I specifically do not want hand crafted planets, it's one of the first things I look at for a space game, 1. is the planet procgen, 2. does it let me land on planets, 3. can I dig/shape the terrain (voxel). I'm aware of NMS and Empyrion - Galactic Survival.

In some ways, Empyrion has better planets than NMS in my view and far fewer of them, it might be the game you're looking for.
