Odd comment. NPCs inventing details for themselves is the draw.

NPCs will be limited by the game requiring the LLM to generate an action ("Move 5 units forward"), and then the game checks that it's a valid action, and rejects invalid ones.

If you don't like metagaming LLMs, don't do that, and enjoy a regular roleplaying experience

NPCs won't have irrelevant backstories. The backstories generated on the fly for them by an LLM will be incorporated into the overall story.

The overall story climax will happen based on player actions, indicating they're ready for the climax, based on the world created by the player's actions and specific instructions.

I think you're trying to cram the square peg of limitless, custom narration into the round hole of a premade story. You can experience a decent roleplaying session already with an LLM you can run on your computer. Compute is only going to get cheaper, and LLM capabilities will only increase.
That seems to be pretty optimistic with respect to geography.

Consider: "The pumps aren't working and there's nothing left up inside the local water-tower."

Then you'd have to travel to get any appreciable amount of water before even starting to filter it.

Bio-ethics is an extremely important aspect of the field in most research involving human and animal subjects. When we don't know about bio-ethics, we do fucked up shit as a society like the Tuskeegee Syphilis Trial. We did gain useful medical knowledge from that study but it had a massive human cost, most of which was borne by a poor community mostly made up of one racial minority. When bio-ethicists get things wrong there is absolutely a horrific cost and when I did bio research I had to take an ethics course every 3 years.

I honestly don't see what's so controversial here. For me, it's just another expression of the idea "you can do all this on a tiny device now". Kinda like that infamous Pokemon Red and Blue ad with the bus driver:

Or the other ads by companies like LG mentioned in the comments showing the same premise. Just feels like people are looking for things to get offended by now, and reading way too much into a simple concept that's been done to death.

Small nit - coffee beans are often times better after 10-14 days of roasting and have had some time for degassing when making espresso. Earlier than that and you will get a lot more creme than you really want if you are going for a balanced shot. But in the end it’s all taste so I can also be wrong for your personal situation.
There's a lot of completely intractable problems rolled up into this. The most obvious one is that there's no objective formal definition of "good" that you can use to reliably rank your different options by goodness. Given an amount of donated money, how many people would it need to lift out of poverty before that option is better than saving one life? Does the number change based on the situations of the people involved? Is saving the life of an old woman as "good" as saving the life of a child? What if the child is unhealthy or in a very dangerous environment, and your "saving" of their life only gives them the opportunity to die of something else three months down the line? Out of all possible options, finding the one that does the most good is akin to solving infinite trolly problems.

But let's say you somehow do that, and you find (for example) that investing in education always gives you the best marginal return on goodness per dollar. Now we have an interesting optimization problem that depends on a lot of factors. For starters, we always have the option of taking some of our available time and using it to grow our money before allocating it to philanthropy. Will you do more good donating $1B to education over 30 years than you would spending 10 years doubling the money with investments and then donating $2B to education over the next 20 years? $4B over 10 years? $8B all at once, 30 years from now? For effects that snowball, do we care about goodness accumulated after your 30 year cutoff, or is that just the limit in which we have to spend the money before sitting back and counting up the change in goodness for the rest of time? If we stop looking at the future after the 30 year cutoff, you'll end up choosing options that maximize short term goodness but are completely dwarfed in the long term by other options. If we do consider the future after the cutoff, then the best option almost always degenerates to some form of "use the money to continually amass more money and power until you have so much power that you control everything, and then unilaterally force humanity to do as much good as possible" which pretty much just turns you into a supervillain (again, "good" is relative). You will also need to deal with diminishing returns and potential value drift on top of your already impossible optimization problem, so have fun with all that too.

Of course, your more immediate hurdles are going to be administrative. Assuming you've found a pretty good cause to devote your money to, how do you stop that money from being used inefficiently? Greedy people are going to try and siphon money for themselves out of your philanthropy, and stupid people are going to waste some portion of your money that they control even if they have good intentions. How much of your money is it worth spending on hardening the rest of your money from misuse?

Lovely. Unexpectedly I feel more immersed with the sound off. When it's on it's like I'm watching just another video on the Internet, and the wind blusters through the mic in a way that sounds different to actually being there; whereas when it's off the unnaturally complete peacefulness meshes with the sound of my actual surroundings and the images seem to pop more.
Love it! I am fond of taking video while sitting/standing still, usually in snippets of 15-30 seconds.

For sure. As mentioned though we were in the middle of Norway, not north.

Well, actually the proper term for where we were at is East Norway. And I guess by official standards the middle of Norway is further north than where I consider the middle of Norway to be.

Based on the comments here about weird inconsistent keybinds and accidental file deletions, I won't be trying this for now, but I will keep an eye on it. I use ranger very heavily every day, but it being slow pythonware is sometimes a problem with extra large dirs and when changing the sort mode often. lf is too barebones for me, I don't know how to recreate everything I'm used to from ranger. Something fully-featured but faster than ranger would be ideal.

If you're taking suggestions, making file copies use rsync under the hood would be great. I used to copy files over sshfs with ranger a lot and then found out the hard way that it was occasionally failing/being interrupted and then silently moving on in the transfer queue, so I had partial and corrupted video files it took months to notice. I do also use rsync for transfers a lot of the time, but sometimes you wanna move a bunch of files to different directories, and something like ranger is just faster and easier. Especially when you don't want everything from the source on the destination for space reasons, so can't just rsync whole dirs to grab the new stuff.

The PC game port is a nearest thing to intentional GPIO that PC has.

This is one field where it's extremely hard to keep up with research internal to the manufacturers - or even fully understand what they currently produce. Hard to be relevant, basically. So well thought out, published, detailed reverse engineering is super useful - and at that scale, it's a research discipline of its own.

Even then, they seem to be only looking at space overhead (the dimension of the accessory circuits - besides the memory cell).
A lot of people have a lot of free time to spend online being angry about things.

There's an idea in game design called "negative possibility space." If your player walks to the end of a long hallway and it's a dead end, or they shimmy up a narrow ledge to the top of a building only to find nothing, they'll be disappointed. So either stick something interesting there, or block it off. This applies to NPC dialogue too. If an NPC can be spoken to, they should have something interesting to say. If they don't, you shouldn't be able to talk to them.

Giving a chatbot brain to an NPC who would otherwise only get a single generic line to say creates an infinite amount of negative possibility space. A player can waste a literally infinite amount of time probing a chatbot NPC for narratively interesting details, and all they'll get is chatbot slop. Now it doesn't matter if you put something interesting at the end of the hallway: You've wasted so much of the player's time now that they no longer trust you to. They assume you're just wasting their time. You teach your players to be cynical and incurious and to engage with your work as little as possible, because in their experience it's mostly meaningless.

For this reason, I consider the integration of chatbots into video games to fundamentally anti-artistic. It actively pushes players away from the work such that they get less out of it. Nobody wants this, actually. It sucks.

The tidal forces would be no different than using jupiter for an assist. You would still have the probe pass by at several thousand, several tens of thousands of kilometers. A close-in gravity assist may look better on paper, but the practicalities and speeds of such a thing are risky. One small error and the mission would be over quick, launched out at a radically incorrect trajectory.
I thought Ultimate Spider-Man was a severe downgrade over Spider-Man 2. The mechanics for swinging just felt a lot more automatic and were less satisfying overall. Spider-Man 2 had, in my opinion, nearly perfect swinging mechanics and did a great job feeling truly open. Its biggest problem was that the actual missions weren't terribly fun, particularly the boss fights were clunky and unfun.

Still, it's fun enough to just swing around the city that I can just ignore the missions and just play around.

Spider-Man 2000 was still fun. I haven't played the Dreamcast version, but I played the hell out of the PS1 version, unlocking nearly everything in the process.
Damn, this describes me too accurately haha. They're so cheap! How could I not at least try!? XD

Put the SQL that you would've put into your controller code into SQL functions, expose only those through PostgREST, and call it a day.
I’ve taught LLMs imaginary words and their meanings with minute amounts of data (two or three examples) via full fine-tuning, LoRA and QLoRA.

I have no idea where the myth of ‘can’t add new knowledge via fine-tuning’ came from. It’s a sticky meme that makes no sense.

Pretraining obviously adds knowledge to a model. The difference between pretraining and fine-tuning is the number of tokens and learning rate. That’s it.
Not really answering your question, but all the "alignment" of the big models is done through a combination of supervised fine tuning and RLHF. So all the chat and censorship and other specific behaviors are at least in part fine tuned in. Maybe that is closer to forms rather than actually knowing more...
Ideally, you want a self-hosted mode (no cloud-only) and a native UI. Even if as stretch goals. We don't like our source, and more importantly assets, hosted outside our control and native UIs are just better.

Alternatively, you put in load shed devices. They're basically fancy self-resetting circuit breakers that trip when the generator begins to be under too much load. They all trip at the same time and then come back up in a pre-determined sequence.
libc++ string is smaller with a higher SSO capacity which in many scenarios can overwhelm the code generation. So it's hard to draw an absolute conclusions.
Fascinating mission. I don't understand how microlensing events resulting from primordial black holes can be differentiated even statistically, given that they "can't be formed by any known physical process", but in any case it's exciting to discover there's much more of something up there than we knew.
