You know Llama is a Meta trademark, right? If you want to compete with the big labs then step one should be to avoid handing them a loaded gun to shoot you down with.

I agree and already got two minipcs I selfhost a lot of stuff now. I just now realized it is basically the future Gabe Newell predicted and wanted to make with Steam Machines [1], but he was wrong by targeting gamers and a little too early (perhaps?). Maybe they will succeed precisely because of this revolution.

I got soooo tired setting up a gaming system for parties on my projector. There are so many various problems and tweaks, gamepads disconnecting if you put a hand between the gamepad and the pc/playstation etc. BSODs on windows, driver problems and stupid obscure things varying from pc to pc. I want plug and play, but consoles have their own problems and limitations. I am too old to debug this stuff to play a game for so little time, I would rather not. I didn't really believe in steam machines at the time, but now I sort of do, especially with game streaming and local LLMs that might be hosted there now.

Valves big misstep with the Steam Machines was that they expected developers to port their games over to Linux natively, on their own dime. Needless to say that didn't end up happening at any significant scale, so when they resurrected SteamOS they refocused on Windows binary compatibility through Proton instead.

What happened recently to bring this on? MediaLab acquired Imgur years ago.

It’s what wealthy people use human assistants for. If AI could do it as reliably, people would use that.

It's not looking good so far. When OpenAI introduced product searches back in April I tried running one of their own example queries from the announcement post, and it obliviously cited "reviews" and "recommendations" from LLM-generated affiliate link farms. I just tried it again and it still falls into the same trap.

Has anyone tried to go after online video game cheaters with lawsuits?

What about criminal charges (e.g., CFAA)?

jsheard · 2 days ago
Not the cheaters themselves AFAIK, but game companies have successfully gone after cheat companies.

Someone near a computer that is feeling generous should buy up all the typo'd domain names and hand them over to Microsoft.

Microsoft should rename the registry. This is a horrible name. I know I've typo'd it before.

Microsoft is paying top dollar for MarkMonitor, aren't they supposed to proactively register obvious typos so this kind of thing doesn't happen to their clients?
