A friend of mine plays a lot of Arena and kept asking ChatGPT for advice, and as many of you know, it worked badly! It would confidently recommend things that didn't exist or had rotated out of Standard months ago. I thought it was a c

I'm Josh! I built Savecraft ( https://savecraft.gg | https://github.com/joshsymonds/savecraft.gg ). It's an open-source MCP server that parses game save files and gives Claude/ChatGPT access to

Oh this is really interesting! I hadn't explored Steam Cloud as a data source. Currently the daemon watches local save directories and parses through WASM, but if Steamworks exposes an API to pull save files remotely, that could work a

Savecraft is an open-source MCP server that parses game save files and serves structured game state to AI assistants. Point it at your save directory and your LLM can help you with gear, stats, skills, quest progress, everything. Upload a b

We use Talos really extensively in production. It’s been an amazing solution for our Kubernetes clusters. Highly recommended for a really smart, really directed Linux distro.

I think most people would agree there’s more to intelligence than language. LLMs don’t have anything except language, so they are not intelligent.

AGI is not a continuum from LLMs; true intelligence is characterized by comprehension, reasoning, and self-awareness, transcending mere data patterns.

I can and did say that. The world is easier for non-deaf people. I can’t imagine even many deaf people would argue against that statement. The correct way to argue against this isn’t to say that “objectively” the world is the same for deaf

“Objectively,” left-handed versus right-handed changes nothing about a person’s capabilities in the world, whereas being deaf does. Cultural norms is an interesting comparison. Despite there being no actual difference in capacity, cultural

Being LGBTQ is not a disability or handicap; it’s simply different, like being red-haired or left-handed.

Still no ligature support. There are better alternatives out there — kitty is what I chose.

Being free of violent extremism completely is impossible. Someone will always choose violent extremism as their method of political action. Considering their demands based on real, articulable, resolvable concerns validates their methods an

Actually poor people deserve justice and security too? Unless you're the richest person in the world. Because if you aren't, someone is going to outbid you on the security forces, and then it's their decision, not "the m

If violent extremists have no choice about how they act, then you should accept that society too has no choice but to reject them. It's just the rain falling, right? If violent extremists do have a choice, then we can also choose our r

It's a bizarre stance because justifying violent extremism creates more violent extremism, which endangers us all. Choosing this method of political activity should (and in my opinion does) automatically invalidate whatever political a

> In ethics, just terrorism is a well debated concept. In what way is terrorism against an occupying external force, and violent extremists targeting the legitimate and democratic government of their own country, the same? Why are you co

Whatever you think of the police, most police forces are not violent extremists. The idea of policing is mainstream in almost all societies.

This is actually the opposite point to what you were trying to make. Nazism was the result of violent extremism becoming politically mainstream, and is the danger in normalizing and sympathizing and treating with violent extremists. It does

by Veraticus 2y ago
I’m not sure I understand the framing of violent extremists as victims actually. There are many reasons to make bad choices, but that doesn’t mean we have to respect those choices or take the results seriously. So too here.

by Veraticus 2y ago
No, it’s simply one possible reaction — and a bad one. Methods matter at least as much as ideals in politics, and violent extremism is not a valid political method and we shouldn’t treat with it like one. Those who embrace it made their cho

Are you really claiming that extremist militias are actually a valid reaction to some kind of political problem? What a bizarre stance. We can solve political problems without resorting to extremism and violence; inability to do so is not n

You seem to have a misunderstanding of how US law works. Not all laws have legislatively-defined consequences for violating them. For example, consider laws against terrorism: even though terrorism is illegal, sanctioning individuals for te

TikTok has failed for years to comply with US laws about not sharing data with the CCP, despite numerous warnings to do so and even a forced partnership with Oracle. This is the final result of their noncompliance with local laws. Just as T

So if I try to access Twitter/X in mainland China, what will happen? Given that, would you say that Twitter/X is banned in mainland China? I don't see how the ban being the result of its noncompliance with local laws doesn&#x

So you acknowledge these apps are banned in China, and your assertion that what I said was "factually incorrect" was wrong?
