I didn't even consciously register the release of the many sequels back then. Always assumed it stopped after Lemmings 2.

Lemmings Revolution reminds me a little bit of good old Nebulus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulus_(video_game)


Haven't seen any docs or so. Is this actually a general model, or does it need training on the the data set it answers? Finding it suspicious you never see some kind of prompt.

Edit: never mind, found https://docs.typesafe.ai/introduction/quickstart by now


1. yes a general model 2. no training at all 3. but it is focused on "System 1" tasks (more human judgment, less math reasoning)

It's very generalized. Can't wait until everyone can see it.

Pure marketing genius

How does it compare to current Plex? Are there proper, usable apps for Apple TV and iOS already?

Edit: Anyone is running Jellyfin on Qnap?


I recently switched from Plex's pretty terrible native players to Plezy (on iOS, iPadOS and tvOS).

Plezy supports both Plex and Jellyfin as a backend - I'm not sure if there is 100% feature parity.


Thanks, definitely will try that one.


Not sure if there is for Apple TV

but they have an iOS app for ipad/iphone https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jellyfin-mobile/id1480192618


Swiftfin, Moonfin are two Jellyfin clients for Apple TV.


Infuse is the best I've tried so far on Apple TV. They also make a version for iOS and iPadOS.

Neptune is an up-and-coming client that looks promising.


Second this. Even the kid who later chose a programming career hated Scratch.

Also, it'd be far too low level in comparison to what the guy did - ultimately, this is a game engine. Proper comparison would maybe be against Inform 7.


Yeah, while reading I was thinking "why does he call it a MUD and not a text adventure"?


If you're doing the gym right, you don't have the energy to ogle anyone, anyway.


This. If it's actually an illustrative part of the text, include it, even if it's AI generated. Not everyone who can write can do graphics.

If it's only decoration, leave it out. No matter whether AI, stock or custom made.


Most artists would prefer you to steal their art than paying a multi billion dollar company to steal it for you and make a worse inaccurate copy. And there are petabytes large free or cheap archives of clip-art, diagrams, and illustrations all over the internet.


For most people your blog is really for you, and if anyone is reading it on the regular than bonus points... but the vast majority of the planet who runs a blog the traffic is very low.

So do with it as you wish, if you enjoy playing with AI and having it assist you with any part of it it's your corner of the net do with it as you absolutely wish and everyone else can kick rocks.


not everyone who can think and solve interesting problems can write prose well, but there's still a lot of complaining about AI-generated text.


One of the reasons is that, most of the time, LLMs can't do graphics or write prose well enough either; otherwise it wouldn't reek of LLMs so much to people who put some effort to read it. Also, even poor writing or drawing can be elevated with some intentionality and personality, and using LLMs pretty much guarantees blandness.


You can use AI as part of your editing process. But it needs to be a process, back and forth with human input, and human editing at the end. What people primarily complain about it pure AI text. It has sentences a paragraph long using every punctuation mark invented by man. If you look at book you'll notice the same style of punctuation used but it'll be at 10% of the rate. You won't see n/m-dashes, commas, colons, semi-colons, and parentheses all used in a single sentence.


One of the most tedious ideas of recent years is the "great engineers are great writers" meme, unsurprisingly spread by writers.


Unfamiliar with this meme.

But I'd still rather read a badly human engineer written blog post than an LLM generated one.


Me, too. Plus, who cares if an LLM corrects the grammar or something.

If the engineer's a bad writer, the blog will at least restrict itself to the elemental information. There's too much SEO-influenced fluff anyway with people telling their supposed life stories as introduction to some technical tidbit. Same pestilence nowadays as with cooking recipes.

Nobody wants to read that shit, no matter who or what generated it.


You spelled Neovim wrong :-)


I liked Altered Carbon, at least season 1.

What I fear is another Foundation.


Having not watched Foundation, what was the issue there?

I loved Altered Carbon Season 1, but couldn't get into Season 2 and never finished it. I never read the book(s?), so the storyline was standalone for me.


My personal issue with Foundation was, that at its core in the books, it was about ordinary humans solving problems. There of course were people with special abilities, but that was, well, special, and so special that e.g. in the case of the Mule, it completely trashed all plans everyone had due to its extraordinariness.

In the TV series, everybody seems to have superpowers. A rather pacifist politician from the book is suddenly, in the series, a gunslinging person with mental superpowers.

I liked that the original was about more or less competent people making decisions, and seeing those decisions play out. I admit, I like competence porn. Almost everyone having superpowers feels like a betrayal of the values of the books.

Best part about the TV series are the three emperors. It's the one addition which really added something to the story... and which did not betray the values of the original book series, but was just a nice addition.


The books are loaded with statements against powerhungry politicans.. the TV series are not. It's like the people adapting the books for TV tried to make it palatable for everyone.


Maybe they just want it to be more difficult to sniff out who actually read the books versus saw the movies. :)


Seems there's no way to disable the <= ligature without disabling whitespace ligatures? I'm not all too crazy for real ligatures but whitespace adjustments otherwise seem nice.

Also, as it's so finely adjustable, would love if they'd offer some variants for dot and comma, to increase their size, because that's my number one problem with fonts since age 45.


Can you open an issue at https://github.com/MonoLisaFont/feedback/issues ? Maybe that's something we missed while restructuring ligatures for customizability.


Saw there's an issue already about the <= ligature. Will open a second issue with feature request for bigger dots.
