kcaseg··on Cyberpunk Video Games
Even worth playing through with a guide for the story, pretty trippy.
kcaseg··on How I use Obsidian (2023)
I tried Obsidian a couple of years ago when all those „Hack your brain with Obsidian“ videos were flooding YouTube, I even had a subscription.

Turns out my brain is beyond saving, while the program was pretty neat, having to have an extra window open was just beyond my attention span. Now I use a notebook, it is chaotic and has coffee strains but I actually use it.

kcaseg··on Multi-User Dungeon (MUD)
Is there any good book/documentary/longform article on MUDs you could recommend?
kcaseg··on Meta readies $25B bond sale as soaring AI costs trigger stock sell-off
Last time I commented something very similar thinking it was the least controversial no brainer thing and multiple people reacted as if it was some Leninist ragebait lol
kcaseg··on Meta readies $25B bond sale as soaring AI costs trigger stock sell-off
Ok, Metaverse and AI didn’t work out. But maybe betting billions on the Next Big Thing, while your actual product is descending into anarchy will pay off!
kcaseg··on Esports scholarship at Deutsche Bahn (German railways)
Cannot wait for the clickbait YouTube video: Factorio pro [1000+ hours] ANNIHILATES deathworld (Sachsen)

I really hope it's Transport Tycoon
kcaseg··on The Buchstabenmuseum Berlin is closing
Probably the money gambled away on slop AI startups in a single week could sustain thousands of museums like this for decades
kcaseg··on In Defense of C++
C++ is the third programming language I ever tried to learn, I got bored and gave up on both Python and JavaScript after like a month, I now have 150 active hours of learning (I tracked) in C++, and I love it, somehow I find it mentally more stimulating, not sure why.
kcaseg··on Conway's Game of Life, but musical
I had very high hopes, because I have initially read: "Conway's Game of Life, but A Musical". Still pretty cool!
kcaseg··on Counter-Strike: A billion-dollar game built in a dorm room
Haha I remember almost crying when I was 12 because I couldn’t get a single kill in ET. Crazy that no one makes a modern ET clone, such a unique gameplay, it would be an instant hit, just add some buzzwords „mission based tactical shooter with classes and progression“
kcaseg··on Study mode
I know it is bad for the environment, I know you cannot trust it, but as an adult learning C++ in my free time, having a pseudo-human answering my questions instead of having to look at old forum posts with people often trying to prove their skills instead of giving the simplest answer ChatGPT is something I cannot just ignore — despite being a huge LLM hater. Moral of the story: none.
kcaseg··on Wttr: Console-oriented weather forecast service
We need more little ANSI suns in the age of AI slop
kcaseg··on YouTube No Translation
I wish there were a YouTube app with this + no reels, I have YouTube premium, I am already paying, stop forcing stuff on me.
kcaseg··on Start your own Internet Resiliency Club
I guess being dependent on the daily mood of some random guy in Texas isn't really resilience.
kcaseg··on Start your own Internet Resiliency Club
saveitforparts has multiple videos on meshstatic, if you want to see it in action, it is super interesting, but not without flaws apparently

Bit masking : the game
kcaseg··on White House releases health report written by LLM, with hallucinated citations
Reminds me of this “AI study” on climate change

https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.39798G2

It is not the “minor citation errors” what are the most worrying, but rather the fact that LLMs aim to please you, even if you really believe your prompt was neutral (which I doubt when it comes to Kennedy and vaccines for example).

kcaseg··on Show HN: I made a football/soccer formation and squad app
Nice!I would reconsider the AI icon, I know it is a free app, but I am sure there are other free alternatives for that. Not because AI is inherently bad or anything, I just somehow associate it with low quality/scammy stuff and my brain would probably filter it out when scrolling through the app store.
kcaseg··on Uxn
First time I saw 100r on HR I have read the entire website like a book, amazing people!

Uxn is also cool, I especially liked the Orca ROM, but I couldn’t really figure it out how to make it work with MIDI, so I ended up using the Linux version.

kcaseg··on Mastering Osint: How to Find Information on Anyone
"Gather the Data: Use various tools and methods to collect information."

"By following a structured approach and leveraging specialized tools, you can effectively gather, analyze, and verify information from publicly available sources."

Am I paranoid or was this partly written by an LLM? Or is it just naturally so vague and generic. I mean most of the tips are kinda legit, but after the title I expected a little more than this.
