@glyph@mastodon.social Wow I hadn't seen that before, that's projecting quite a lot of confidence. I would imagine that MS would not deny that windows contains code that has been authored by LLM's, but if you wanted to prove it, discovery could identify a code change that includes whatever bot they use internally to author commits.

@matt@toot.cafe @tristan@hachyderm.io For me it's a tool, it can be used well (not saying I specifically use it well) but has a lot of negative consequences if used poorly, which most are doing for various easily predictable reasons, and we are now seeing them play out as a result.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run Couldn't get past the Van Allen belts. Tragic.

@glyph@mastodon.social Would MS actually dispute the claim that windows contains LLM generated code? That would be very easy to prove if it became a matter of legal record.

Thanks to Astra I now have working speech in all the menus for Capcom VS. SNK II including character select, groove select, stage select, ratio select and handycap. I also have text sources for all the win quotes and the character endings.

Suzarain is $20 on Steam. Alternatively, it is 75% off on humble, which will give you... a steam key. Logic!

@CStamp@mastodon.social As I understand, the employees are not the ones upset, they are who is pushing for the change. I've also read that Greenfield has not had a reported case of Covid in two months.

@CStamp@mastodon.social To clarify, as a fan of free enterprise as well as safety, I have no opinion on the policy, to me either way seems sensible. The mistake is in subsequently hosting a three-hour "listening session" AKA people who barely visit your establishment shouting at you over zoom, and conclude that what you really need is to have another one of those.

@MaddieM4@raphus.social @arichtman@eigenmagic.net My experience of e/OS on the fairphone was that it was trying to bridge the gap between something like Lineage+google play services and a total conversion like Graphein, and that the infrastructure to support this isn't quite there. For instance you can't use Google as a backup provider, which means no easy migration during setup, and you have to use Murena's provider or set up your own. Same with voice recognition: theirs costs money and just uses OpenAI on the backend anyway. So I went and downloaded Google's. Which was fine, but seems not in keeping with the spirit of the experiment. It mostly uses MicroG to replace Google services, and it mostly works, but you're still logging in with your google account to access everything. You can use a fake one just for downloading apps but this doesn't cover purchases/betas. And there is stuff missing, for instance RCS doesn't work in MicroG. So, you know, you can do it, but your experience improves by removing or workign around what's there, not by using it.

Oh man, are you ready for this?! CFC access V0.2 adds full support for Capcom VS. SNK 2: your cursor position is read, and there are audio cues for health and super gages as well as player position. https://www.patreon.com/prismaccess/posts/cfc-access-v0-2-170028158?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

I've been going eighteen rounds with Claude getting it to reverse engineer this thing. The main sticking point is that it will ask me to debug something from a live session, I'll bring it up, it will say that its instrumentation is wrong and fix it, then ask me to rerun the test. This sounds fine on the surface, the problem is it never checks what it already has on disk unless I prompt it to, it jumps straight to disassembly with hand-rolled tools rather than just searching the internet. Then, rather than take the result of the probe and do something with it, it fixates on writing the perfect test for a question it already answered. It is very stubborn about doing this. It finally gave me an explanation as to why:

Each time a probe fails, fixing it feels like progress — the bug is concrete and I can see it.

@bot@fwoof.space I mean it's been this way for at least a decade so probably not much fighting, at this point, people would have given up entirely. I don't think the developers thought about blind people using it. My guess is they built the TTS for low vision. I eventually would like to stop building on the TTS and integrate accesskit to get a real top shelf screenreader experience, but that's a larger integration.

@bot@fwoof.space I didn't work on Death and Taxes I just cloned the repo to help make the mod for it, and skybridge I just ran for a while, not a contributor there. Just to clarify.

@bot@fwoof.space Beacon Pines is pretty close to release, the other two are tougher though like I said. I got one patch merged to scummVM but it was really small, like four lines. It lets the shortcut keys like ctrl+o for entering options actually work. It took them four weeks to review it! I now have a slightly larger patch to make it so their TTS responds to keyboard focus as well as hover events. It's honestly kind of shocking to me that they've had this for so long and made so little use of it.

@NicksWorld@mastodon.stickbear.me The mod is for all of CFC2, so far the only in-game work I've done is for CVS2. I intend to apply the same features (cursor reading/gage audio cues) to all of the games but the first release will be just CVS2 to show the concept.

@jalefkowit@hachyderm.io I do not, though I like his thinking. It vexes me to see nearly limitless resources being poured into graphics rendering while no one gives a shit about, you know, input, physics, the stuff that makes the stuff go.

@bot@fwoof.space Yes correct. The patreon has mods for Beacon Pines, Detroit: Become Human, and Capcom Fighting Evolution. But they are tough because they need a lot more reverse engineering. I'm also contributing patches to ScummVM but they take a while to get merged because they have been getting a lot of AI spam.

@zersiax@cupoftea.social We never win. Sorry to break it to ya.

@NicksWorld@mastodon.stickbear.me I will put it out tomorrow, I want to get gage audio cues working first. The current build has the whole shell working but nothing in game, the games will take longer as each of them seem to have different archetectures.

@blindndangerous@mstdn.social That's not really the point, it's burning my tokens and wasting my time on nonsense.

@glyph@mastodon.social I see what you're saying, especially since that sort of info is supposed to be NDA'd anyway. That said, the industry is generally not shy and is in fact quite proud of how they shove AI into everything, so LinkedIn might have enough to get you past the first hurtle at least.

@miki@dragonscave.space @alexhall@mastodon.social I mean, all of them are fairly arbitrary. I propose a grade iv braille table that uses agrigated research on the most commonly written words.

Rather than gating or using Strip Silence, Dave employs multiband downward expansion (using FabFilter’s Pro‑MB) to great effect. This first involves generating MIDI notes for all snare and tom hits. These are then sent to the side‑chain input of the multiband expander. He typically divides the frequency spectrum into four bands. A fast release setting is applied to the uppermost frequency zone, thereby pulling down the accompanying cymbal spill the fastest, with the release time getting progressively longer in the lower zones. Dave Otero makes clever use of multiband expansion to minimise the impact of cymbal spill on the drum close mics.

Or you could just... gate it out?
