I did “buy” (attention on the quotes) the anime Ghost in the Shell (1995) on Amazon Videos, this is my favorite animation, and I watch every year. I’ve DVDs, BlueRays and such, when I moved abroad bringing the devices to watch was a hurdle, so a online purchase was the dream. Guess who lost the access to this animation due to “contract reasons with the reseller, not with the customer”…

This was my spark to start a homelab. One step at the time. One day I’ll have everything that I need on my lab.

And I fully agree with you. ||And I’m the author of the text.||

On the essay I needed a simple way to explain a “baseline”, something that can’t go below that. And I tried to move the reader to get that this isn’t a perfect solution, but a baseline. And I fully agree with you. Without a good definition of the kind of harm, measure of the harm (after all, harm is a simple term, but it does have weight), it’s hard to properly go there.

But my point was, baseline, we can’t go below this one. Even if a community considers “bad taste joke” as “no harm” while other community considers the other way around, it’s still possible for both communities to “exist”, wouldn’t co-exist, but would exist.

And since both don’t want to harm the other they would discuss up to some agreement on the kind and level of harm.

I understand you and to a certain degree I agree with you on the “no single person as ownership”, but when we need to make decision, it’s often a single person. On the federated it’s better, but my dream still runs on the fully cooperative communities. Which is a far dream in the current world stage.

Also,

People within the community have to accept to a certain degree, that people don’t think exactly the same as them on everything.

This is pure poetry. I love it.

Ps.: Thanks for the reading and bringing the topic. And I think I should have done a better job on the definition of the harm too. A lesson learned.

Game design is fun!

To the point that I kind of live making GDD for games that I’ll never make.

But it’s also fun to make something from ground up, making music, making graphics, making everything.

One of my annoyances (if I can murder the language), is the fact that it was released a version 1.0 with dozens of issues. Quality of life is fine, but the lack of a vast majority of details kind of breaks the game. This isn’t a 1.0 final product release, it was a Alpha 2.0 release.

Strange, I used to have similar type of VPN, changed because I needed something a little bit more secure for my line of work (some software shite). But in theory should be open.

Glad that worked in the end.

Ohhh shoot… I do use a very strict VPN and I can access. Would you mind sharing which VPN are you using, maybe it’s something that I’ve done wrong.

Just as a double-check I validated in a DNS checker, all the countries are enabled. I do have a heavy anti-bot measures on the page, with a lot of traps, if you ask a bot to crawl the page it will suffer.

Again, sorry for the trouble, and let me know the info so I can validate the VPN and check the access.

Like the other already added, you can tweak the value, but if you add your bases in “easier” island the raids gets easier to handle. Additionally, if you circle your base with walls without any doors the raids are completed ignored. The merchants too.

I kind of got your frustration, I also would love for more options in the marcher for “steam machine-like” consumer hardware, almost like a “console” version of the steam machine.

Yet this is my problem, A tool that “waste” tokens, is slow (with some tasks taking 30~40 minutes) and generating a result, while a model running locally can do the 70% in 5min. It’s a huge difference.

And don’t forget, at the end of the day, I would still need to look into the code and fix some stuff myself.

And if compared with Deepseek (which had fit best on my use case), it’s even faster like 1~3 minutes, to get on the 90% of the result, on a fraction of the cost. This is the points that I’m focused, and a enterprise should either understand that the market have changed, or pay the price. And looks like we will pay the price.

Thanks for the reading, the original post was somewhat unhinged. It was a very long debugging session for the alpha thing, the AI tooling weren’t helping. And I was losing my mind over my morning coffee. But I fixed the little details.

I think the reality of the AI tooling for coding fall in the “middle”, it isn’t the 10x or 100x described by people, it’s closer to a 10%~15% performance increase in my humble view. With some better harness (like the PI that I discovered) I think this can be sightly better, but far from the 50%. I would say that if the increase in productivity decays over time, the amount of code generated I had to refactor and clean for most of the week.

But for sure the Claude was a huge disappointment, very bad quality for it’s price, and super slow for the needs of a “start up mindset”, let’s put in this way.
