Yeah it just says “Michael Waltz has added you to the group” lmao

You were in my thoughts: https://lemm.ee/comment/18943187

In case you’re not joking, they are the government - see the linked context (I’ve added a second “context” link with the exact screenshot)

Hopefully no deceptive button pressing this time @cRazi_man@lemm.ee xoxo

So they literally agree not using an LLM would increase your framerate.

Well, yes, but the point is that at the time that you’re using the tool you don’t need your frame rate maxed out anyway (the alternative would probably be alt-tabbing, where again you wouldn’t need your frame rate maxed out), so that downside seems kind of moot.

Also what would the machine know that the Internet couldn‘t answer as or more quickly while using fewer resources anyway?

If you include the user’s time as a resource, it sounds like it could potentially do a pretty good job of explaining, surfacing, and modifying game and system settings, particularly to less technical users.

For how well it works in practice, we’ll have to test it ourselves / wait for independent reviews.

It sounds like it only needs to consume resources (at least significant resources, I guess) when answering a query, which will already be happening when you’re in a relatively “idle” situation in the game since you’ll have to stop to provide the query anyway. It’s also a Llama-based SLM (S = “small”), not an LLM for whatever that’s worth:

Under the hood, G-Assist now uses a Llama-based Instruct model with 8 billion parameters, packing language understanding into a tiny fraction of the size of today’s large scale AI models. This allows G-Assist to run locally on GeForce RTX hardware. And with the rapid pace of SLM research, these compact models are becoming more capable and efficient every few months.

When G-Assist is prompted for help by pressing Alt+G — say, to optimize graphics settings or check GPU temperatures— your GeForce RTX GPU briefly allocates a portion of its horsepower to AI inference. If you’re simultaneously gaming or running another GPU-heavy application, a short dip in render rate or inference completion speed may occur during those few seconds. Once G-Assist finishes its task, the GPU returns to delivering full performance to the game or app. (emphasis added)

Eh, I think that one’s mostly on the community / players giving up games as soon as anything bad happens (making the 30-70 and 40-60 games where you still have decent odds of winning more like 5-95 games which become a self-fulfilling prophecy), plus regular players getting better over time (mistakes and misplays are more likely to be punished and leads are more likely to be capitalized on).

The give-up culture wasn’t as bad much earlier in the game’s life, at least in my NA-centric exposure to solo queue.

Particularly with the voices of Sokka and Korra there :'D

It’s technically an option, yeah, but as you said it’s not something practically used as an “everyday” feed-sorting algorithm. It’s not as though it’s a default or suggested sort option - compare that to Mastodon where it’s the only sort option X_X

Definitely agree that the the common-with-Mastodon viewpoint of exclusively using chronological feeds seems to have over-corrected too far. Can you imagine if the threadiverse was sorted that way? It would be insane and essentially unusable at scale - so we can at least acknowledge that sorting algorithms have a useful place and are not some unsalvageable, irredeemable evil. I wish there was something like a bunch of open source algorithms which the user could choose between in whatever UI they’re using. At the very least there should be some acknowledgement that I, the user, don’t have an identical level of interest in every account I follow, or even in every topic which the same account posts about.

And while microblogging platforms seem to have it worst, there have also been times in the threadiverse where I’ve subscribed to a community/magazine only to later unsubscribe because the activity levels it produces in my feed are much higher than my interest levels in it. So even here (where we have sorting by “hot” etc), some kind of user-configurable weighting would be nice to better match how I actually want my feed to work!

edit: typo

Searching for the phrase, documentation matches for Taiga so maybe you’re right!

Would be curious to read the LLM output.

It looks like it’s available in the linked study’s paper (near the end)

In fairness this was already a couple days old before I posted it, I just couldn’t be bothered taking the two minutes to zoom, crop, alt text, etc until yesterday

Plus jerry’s an instance admin! So it’s pretty on-topic for him 😅

It’s not cheating, it’s a federated relationship

hey its me, ur nicole

For what it’s worth I generally agree with you, and especially think the people who treat /all as their own personal feed are nuts, but nonetheless it’s something that some people do 🫠

Everyone has their own preferences about how to use things!

Browsing the global/all feed is one way to find new communities, and some people just like using it in general rather than defaulting to a subs-only view.

Maybe in future I’ll have to inspect element to remove that and the ALT when posting Mastodon screenshots 😬

Just be aware that some places/connections have trouble connecting with it: https://catbox.moe/faq.php (under Connectivity Issues)

Crazy that this is how I found out about this. I guess that’s what I get for not being enough of a repost bot 😔
