Neat. Linux port incoming!

Thank you for this, kevin42. So many great games around the 2000s. If Tim Sweeney could open UE1, a lot of games could benefit from it like Quake being open sourced did.

jakearmitageon Using ClickHouse to scale an events engine

> consider the cost of maintaining an OSS ClickHouse cluster I mean... it is pretty straightforward. 40~60 line Terraform, Ansible with templates for the proper configs that get exported from Terraform so you can write the IPs so they can see each other, and you are done.

What else could you possibly need? Backing up is built into it with S3 support: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/backup#configuring...

Upgrades are a breeze: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/update

People insist that OMG MAINTENANCE I NEED TO PAY THOUSANDS FOR MANAGED is better, when in reality, it is not.

Hello ATF.

jakearmitageon Re2c

It sucks that re2c simply can't parse indentation-based formats like YAML or Python. Had to resort to nom to be able to do it.

I knew I couldn't be the only one. Does this serve as a consolation prize, though? https://github.com/djyt/cannonball

jakearmitageon Midlibrary: Library of 4000 Midjourney artistic styles

How can I use this? For example: if I have a picture of my wife, how can I apply one of these styles to her picture? I've downloaded InvokeAI and it runs, but I can't get it to just apply a style to an existing picture.

I wanted to give her a birthday present and her picture using the style of her favorite artist in a frame would be amazing.

Did you write the CRT shader yourself? Because it looks really good.

jakearmitageon FTC judge decides Intuit’s ‘free’ TurboTax ads misled consumers

Are you assuming Democrats are inherently good and well-meaning and could not make this happen due to a missed opportunity?

Because corruption goes both ways. There's a reason one party blames the other for X when the other is in power, and then do nothing about X when they are in power.

jakearmitageon Stable Diffusion in C/C++

There's just something special to these C/C++ implementations of AI stuff. They feel so clean and straightforward and make the entire field of AI feel tangible and learnable.

Is that because Python's ecosystem is so messy?

Here's the paper: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplexmq/blob/stable/protoc...

Although, to be honest, I still don't understand how nodes propagate messages or find each other.

How would an anonymized directory service work?

jakearmitageon Senators to Propose Ban on U.S. Lawmakers, Executive Branch Members Owning Stock

I wish there was a tool that allowed me to follow Congress as if it was an index. Automatically buying and selling what they buy and sell. Right from my Fidelity or something.

jakearmitageon Wikipedia-grounded chatbot “outperforms all baselines” on factual accuracy

How did they manage to get it to stop hallucinating? I can't prevent my llama-index based chatbot from making up absurd things from my own documents, even though I've been trying to restrict it to that specific area of knowledge.
