Currently replaying The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Also have a save going for Stardew Valley and Baldur's Gate 3 (well, I have a few games going for BG3; I have my solo game, I have a game with my partner, I have a game with my partner and a friend, and then I have a game with my partner and two of his friends). I should also get back into Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but I think at this point I need to restart my save because it's been so long.

I do video editing myself in Linux and Kdenlive does pretty much everything I need. The UI is a bit odd to learn but I'd imagine any new editing software is gonna have a learning curve of some sort.

Just a note that Proton VPN doesn't allow P2P on their free plan.

There is, however, still the concept of the Chinese Room thought experiment, and I don't think AI will topple that one for a while.

For those who don't know and don't wish to browse off the site, the thought experiment posits a situation in which a guy who does not understand Chinese is sat in a room and told to respond to sets of Chinese characters that come into the room. He has a little booklet of responses—all completely in Chinese—for him to use to send responses out of the room. The thought experiment questions whether or not the system of the Chinese Room itself can be thought to understand Chinese or even the man himself.

With the Turing Test getting all of the media spotlight in AI, machine learning, and cognitive science, I think the Chinese Room should enter into the conversation as the field of AI looks towards G.A.I.

Vs code

I would actually recommend VSCodium; it's the same product but without the Microsoft telemetry.

I'm glad I'm not the only person to dislike this game! After going through like three of the chapter 1 missions for the characters, the game felt very very samey, and on top of that, it's probably one of the only story games that I haven't finished.

 

I'm looking to getting back into VR gaming. However, with my switch to Linux, that has made things a little more complicated. I don't own a Valve Index (although I've heard that there are some issues with the Index on Linux), I own a Rift CV1. As far as I'm aware, the Oculus Rift is pretty much completely incompatible with Linux. I do also own both Beat Saber and SUPERHOT VR on the Oculus Store (poor choice of platform, I know).

So, unless there's something I've overlooked, my options are as follows:

  1. Sell my Rift and stop playing VR games (weird option to choose but it's an option).
  2. Sell my Rift and save up to buy a Valve Index (despite its issues)
  3. Sell my Rift and save up to get a Quest 2 (or 3 when that comes out, although that plays into Metz's pockets).
  4. Keep my Rift and do tiny experiments with it (again, weird choice given the title of the post, but it's an option)

Does anyone have any advice for me here?

 

These tracks are an assortment of tracks I made while studying modular synthesis in university and created with VCV Rack and Ableton Live. The link listed here is for my Bandcamp (as that supports me more than streams) but my music is also available on most major streaming platforms.
