I streamed Expedition 33 to my deck when it was my shift during the night to look after our newborn whilst they were sleeping.

Honestly can’t remember much of it since that period of time was a blur, but what I do know is the streaming worked great, although I had to change a couple of settings as games would sometimes freeze. I think it was something to do with the encoding and decoding, so you may have to look at that if you have the same issue.

Eurovision song contest makes me feel otherwise 🥲

I think that is only an issue based on what Passkey attestation is configured by the relying party? From what I have read a lot of public facing companies implementing it will have passkey attestation statements configured as None, which typically means there isn’t an authenticator certificate verification.

If you can’t drop the use of AI for your own learning, use it for learning. Tell it specifically that you want guidance on how to do something, not to do it for you, perhaps have it create a html guide you can follow without it giving you all the answers.

If it does something in a way you didn’t expect, ask why. Ask if the way it has done something is the best way of doing it, and then do a bit of research and challenge it when it’s wrong, and it will definitely be at times.

There needs to be a rating system.

• Runs (but borderline unplayable)
• Plays well (but not perfect)
• Plays great!

Tried to run Expedition 33 on it and although performance seemed ok, it looked a right mess.

Many years ago when I was on a trip to America I visited Brick Lane Curry House to do the Phaal challenge. It was described as excruciatingly hot. I’ve had a Phaal in the UK, and suffered through it.

They brought the dish out and it was no hotter than a UK vindaloo. I was quite disappointed when they gave me the Phaal curry monster certificate, I’d genuinely hoped for a challenge.

Lie to yourself for a bit, I suspect it’s like muscle, the more you do it the better you get at it. That’s kind of what positive affirmations are, you keep telling yourself certain things (within reason…) and it is supposed to steer your subconscious.

Not sure on the size of your team, but you could perhaps form a small subset of AI “champions” who can try to help drive new initiatives. Just some ideas:

1. Start out with foundational usage of AI agents, ensure people have the right mindset and ownership of using the ai agents. Ensure there is always a “human in the loop.”

2. Arrange for some training for people (not just Devs) on the right way of using AI, such as not throwing sensitive information into it. Educate people that it’s far from perfect

3. Get standard boundaries in place for your current and future projects, get context files (agent.md) for your projects so those who do use the agents will be doing so from the best position.

4. See if you can arrange with the higher ups to arrange some company time do a Hackathon with the use of AI to help people see what they can do with it and the challenges they’ll face. You can also take some learnings from it.

The way I see it, you’ve been given the position of head of AI because you’re indifferent. It’s your job now to drive engagement (because that’s what your bosses want) but in a controlled manner. If they put someone that was overly enthusiastic about AI they would end up with a huge bill and lots of AI mess to clean up.

They’re not really a thing where I’ve lived in the UK, at least I’ve not seen them in the 35+ years I’ve lived in the country! I wonder if climate change will affect that eventually?

Ah that’s fair! Yeah in the UK a lot of homes have casement windows where these things work great.

It may seem that way from a picture that it’s enough space for a cat to get out, but I’m telling you from experience it isn’t! Purely a recommendation based on myself having two house cats and using these on 6 different windows in my house, and a variety of friends having used them with their cats too.

I recommend getting some window restrictors rather than messing about with netting. There is a company called Beego that makes them, they are meant for kids but are perfect for cats too. I use them and recommended them to my friends with house cats, they use them now and it’s so much more convenient than using netting.

They look like this:

Machines cannot take responsibility for problems, which is why I feel containment barriers cannot be entirely AI.

Where I work AI is being pushed hard, but the company has made it their policy that there must be a human in the loop. Ownership of the code written by AI is down to the person using the AI. “Oops, don’t know why the AI wrote that!” Is not a valid answer to bugs being introduced into production.

I’m seeing senior engineers of 15+ years no longer writing code and churning out a ton more work. They are disappointed they don’t write code anymore but working with the AI is the job they have to do to be able to afford to live. They say the cognitive load has shot up for them, they are constantly spinning plates.

To make the plate spinning job easier they have implemented guard rails to ensure the agents don’t do anything stupid. I’m seeing a number of stories posted to Lemmy where the AI does dumb shit but the stories don’t apply any accountability to the developers using it.

I love Supergiant games, but Pyre really didn’t click for me either. The presentation was great, but after Bastion and Transistor, the gameplay just fell flat. I’m glad to see people enjoyed it though.

I love Hades and Hades II, however I’m hoping the studio will try something new for their next game.

Can’t be expecting the peasants to share in the success of their hard work! Better to fire them and rehire them for cheaper when they are desperate.

Here’s hoping we can get something like Skies of Arcadia. It’s probably nostalgia but it was such an amazing game back when I was younger.

I recall someone at some point calling it cuckoding, that gave me a chuckle.

Enjoying it very much. For a game that isn’t even complete it is so solid on the gameplay. Feels different enough from the first game, but also the same.

Not sure if it will become my favourite deck builder over Monster Train 2, but it’s still a fantastic early access game.

“Almost 20 years after the end of the original series, Malcolm now lives a happy life with his daughter Leah and girlfriend Tristan, having distanced himself from his birth family. He is forced to bring them into the family’s chaos when his parents Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.” source

I don’t know if it’s still good, but when I had my headset I loved Synth Riders. At times I felt like I was really dancing. Some of the “experiences” were great too, there was a Muse one that was really well done!
