Like for instance, monsters and other sprite objects in the original incarnation of the Doom engine have infinite height. So you can’t step on top of, or over, any monsters if e.g. you are on a ledge high above them. That’s because they’re 2D objects, and their vertical position on the screen is largely only cosmetic. This is why you can’t run under a Cacodemon, for instance.
“Actors” (monsters, etc.) in Doom do have defined heights, but presumably for speed purposes the engine ignores this except for a small subset of checks, namely for projectile collision and checking whether a monster can enter a sector or if the ceiling height is too low, and for crush damage.
This was rectified in later versions of the Doom engine as well as most source ports. By the time Heretic came out (which is just chock-a-block full of flying enemies and also allows the player to fly with a powerup) monsters no longer had infinite height.
Hi folks! After a couple of months of discussions around the topic, I have decided to go ahead and make the first actual anti-coporate community on lemmy, according to lemmyexplorer.org....

<p>In a world increasingly interconnected through the wonders of the internet, a case study published in <a href="https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12888-024-05667-6"><em>BMC Psychiatry</em></a> sheds light on a darker facet of digital interaction: online romance fraud inducing erotomania, a rare delusional disorder.</p>
<p>Erotomania, or de Clérambault’s syndrome, manifests as a persistent, delusional belief that an individual, typically of higher social status, is in love with the person experiencing the delusion, despite little to no interaction between the two. This condition, recognized in major psychiatric classifications such as the ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR, reflects a profound misinterpretation of social cues, leading to a one-sided and often obsessive pursuit of the perceived admirer.</p>
<p>This syndrome has fascinated clinicians and scholars alike, with its roots traced back to the musings of Hippocrates and the detailed studies of French psychiatrist Gaëtan de Clérambault in the early 20th century.</p>
<h3>A Patient’s Journey into Delusional Love</h3>
<p>The subject of this case study is a 70-year-old married woman from Hungary who fell victim to an online romance scam, leading her down a path of psychological turmoil and near tragedy. Her journey into this delusional state began innocently enough, with her expressing admiration for a musician’s work on social media. This admiration quickly escalated into an intense emotional involvement, fueled by fraudulent interactions with someone she believed to be the musician himself.</p>
<p>Over the course of more than a year, the scammer, hiding behind the musician’s identity, cultivated a deep emotional connection with the patient. Through clever manipulation and deceit, the fraudster convinced her of his romantic interest, leading her to undertake personal transformations and even financial sacrifices in the name of love. The situation spiraled into family conflicts and a serious suicide attempt when the scam’s financial demands became overwhelming and her husband intervened.</p>
<p>The patient’s background painted a picture of vulnerability ripe for exploitation. A retired cook with a history of feeling neglected, her life was marked by isolation, a depressive mood, and a lack of significant relationships outside of her marriage. Her mental state, exacerbated by various health issues and a mild cognitive impairment, created a fertile ground for the seeds of delusional belief to take root.</p>
<p>Upon admission to a psychiatric department following her suicide attempt, a comprehensive evaluation revealed the complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, and psychological factors underpinning her condition. The diagnosis of erotomanic delusion, induced by the online romance fraud and compounded by her preexisting vulnerabilities, presented a challenging treatment scenario.</p>
<h3>The Path to Recovery</h3>
<p>The treatment approach for the patient was multifaceted, combining psychopharmacological intervention with individual and group therapy. Central to her recovery was the gradual realization of the fraudulent nature of the online relationship and the processing of the associated emotional trauma. This process was supported by empathetic, accepting, and supportive therapeutic interactions, which also aimed to resolve the marital conflicts exacerbated by the scam.</p>
<p>The case underscores the paramount importance of early recognition and intervention in cases of internet-induced erotomania. With the pervasive reach of digital communication and the sophistication of online fraud, individuals with existing vulnerabilities are at heightened risk of falling prey to such deceptive practices, with potentially devastating psychological consequences.</p>
<h3>Lessons Learned and the Road Ahead</h3>
<p>This case highlights the need for increased awareness and understanding of the psychological risks associated with online romance fraud, particularly among those with preexisting mental health conditions.</p>
<p>“The presented case highlights the susceptibility of individuals with mental disorders to developing erotomanic delusions in the context of online romance fraud,” the researchers concluded. “It is crucial to monitor the online activity of such patients, particularly those with specific risk factors, as they are more likely to become victims. Identifying personality characteristics and psychopathological symptoms that elevate the risk of victimization is essential.”</p>
<p>“These may include dependent personality traits, unrealistic idealization, cognitive function impairment affecting situational awareness, reduced problem-solving abilities, compromised mentalization skills, experiences of loneliness and isolation, and relationship or family problems.”</p>
<p>The case study, “<a href="https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12888-024-05667-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Induced erotomania by online romance fraud – a novel form of de Clérambault’s syndrome</a>,” was authored by Nasri Alotti, Peter Osvath, Tamas Tenyi, and Viktor Voros.</p>

Video footage broadcast Wednesday by Al Jazeera shows Israeli soldiers gunning down two Palestinians on the coast of northern Gaza, even as one of them waves what appears to be a piece of white fabric. The video then shows Israeli soldiers burying the bodies with a bulldozer....
I completely disagree that “any other ally would’ve gotten the boot”. Look at Turkey’s history with their eastern minorities. I’m sure I could think of more examples as well. Can you name a time we’ve ever, in our entire history, “booted” an ally for atrocities?
Maybe I wasn’t clear; those allies are only allies because of what they provide us, and what Israel provides us is control and influence over the middle east. They represent our interests in exchange for us propping them up as a regional power (e.g. a VASSEL state). Sometimes barons form their own alliances and rebel, but they are still barons in the first instance.
They would get the boot if their behavior is in misalignment with the US’s interest, but coincidentally, genocide is not incomparable with what interests we have in the region. It’s just a bit ‘inconvenient’ to our brand.
It’s not liberty for everyone, it’s liberty for those strong enough to seize it
Which is why it is not ‘neutral’, it quite consciously gives advantage to hierarchical structures outside the state.
Unity actually gives any class with the name GameManager a special gear icon. You cant just forgo the cool gear icon!
(Its not too terrible from an organizational standpoint because most of the scripts are attached to game objects. MonoBehavior is a component of GameObject. For instance, you’d never have player movement in the GameManager class, you would put it in the component class attached to the player character GameObject.)

Apologies, you're right. I took care to double check the wording but neglected to spot the different username.
Hasn't it already been ruled that LLM outputs cannot be copyrighted, or was that just patents and I'm misremembering?
No, there have been a lot of misleading news articles with headlines like that but nothing like that has been decided in any jurisdictions that I'm aware of.
The most popular news story to get headlines like that is the Thaler v. Perlmutter case, if you do a Google search for that you'll find an endless stream of "U.S. Court holds that AI generated works cannot be copyrighted" headlines. But that's not remotely what the case was actually about. What actually happened was that Thaler generated an image using an AI and then went to the US Copyright office to register the copyright *in the name of the program that generated it." That is, he went to the Copyright office and told them "the copyright for this work is solely held by the computer that generated it. Nobody else was involved in its creation." The copyright office responded "that's silly, copyright can only be held by a person (human or corporate). A computer is not a person." Since the list of copyright-holders Thaler was claiming was therefore zero, the Copyright office ruled that the work must be in the public domain.
Thaler sued, and in the subsequent court case he tried to add himself to the list of copyright-holders. The judge said "no, that's not what this suit is about, knock it off. You told the copyright office you didn't hold a copyright to that work, and as a result their ruling that the work was uncopyrighted was correct."
If he'd tried to claim copyright for himself from the start there wouldn't have been any problem. There have been other instances where humans have registered copyrights for works that they used an AI to generate. The only reason Thaler failed was because he specifically and explicitly said that he wasn't claiming copyright over it. This has unfortunately turned into one of those "suing McDonalds for making their coffee hot" semi-urban-legends.
And even if a U.S. court did make a ruling along those lines, the U.S. isn't the whole world. There are plenty of countries out there that would be happy to take the lead instead if the U.S. decided it didn't want to be supportive of local AI-driven industry.
Ah yes, because rolling your own unreliable text generator is so much less expensive. XD
It really is. I run LLMs on my home computer myself, for fun, using a commodity graphics card. The models it can run don't quite reach ChatGPT's level of sophistication but they're close, and they have the advantage that I can control them much more precisely to perform the tasks that I want them to perform. If I wanted to use a more sophisticated open model there are cloud providers that could run it for me for pennies, I just like having the hardware completely under my control.

london would be the equivalent to america though. And i mean, in some capacity, that is kind of a name, miss america for instance. Still pretty silly to use because it’s a bad name but wouldnt the equivalent here be memey slang? Or is that lisbon, im not EU pilled. Lisbon is a terrible name honestly.
The paradox holds in an infinitely dividable setting. Take the series of numbers where the next number equals the previous one divided by 2: {1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16…}. If you take the sum of this infinite series (there is always a larger factor of two to divide by) you are going to get a finite result (namely 2, in this instance). So for the real life example, while there is always another ‘half’ of the distance to be travelled, the time it takes to do so is also halved with every iteration.
From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.
In my experience, once when you find your way into the correct circles the microblog-verse makes the “shitposting” of Lemmy look like r/memes. I do agree that discoverability could be better though, it took me 4-5 months before I got the hang of it. And now I barely check Lemmy despite my Lemmy account being older than my earliest microblog account (under this name, anyway).
One important thing is that your instance matters quite a bit more than here. Starting on a large general purpose instance (especially if it’s mastodon.social) and just following Large Accounts and Nobody Else like most people recommend for some reason is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Instead, get on a smaller interest-specific instance (rule of thumb: the weirder the domain the better your experience will be!) and follow the local timeline (and on good software, the bubble/recommended timelines). And post stuff/interact with people. Don’t be that one person that does nothing but boost news bots and occasionally butt into replies of people asking rhetorical questions they already know the answer for.
(Perhaps Lemmy is better at news or whatever, I wouldn’t know as I block all news communities I can find – I just don’t see the point as all the discussion around most news ends up predictable, unproductive (not that internet communities necessarily need to be “productive”), and unnecessarily angry)
Also in a world with usable™ Misskey forks and Akkoma I think the limitations of Mastodon the software are really starting to show, and I urge anyone who’s been disappointed in Mastodon to try other microblog software. (Quotes are already a thing if you know where to look! So are emoji reactions, because people have more emotions than :star:)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...
Yes, using existing works as reference is obviously something that real human artists do all the time, there’s no arguing that is the case. That’s how people learn to create art to begin with.
But, the fact is, generative AI is not creative, nor does it understand what creativity is, nor will it ever. Because all it is doing is performing complex data statistical analysis algorithms to generate a matrix of pixels or a string of words.
Im sorry, but the person entering in the prompt to instruct the algorithm is also not doing anything creative either. Do you think it is art to go through a fast food drive through and place an order? That’s what people are objecting to - people calling themselves artists because they put some nonsense word salad together and then think what they get out of it is some unique thing that they feel they created and take ownership of. If not for the AI model they are using and the creative works it was trained on, they could not have created it or likely even imagined it without it.
I’d like to ask you what experience you have with generative art, because I’d like to explain a bit of what I know,
There’s also a spectrum of involvement depending on what tool you’re using. I know with web based interfaces don’t allow for a lot of freedom due to wanting to keep users from generating things outside their terms of use, but with open source models based on Stable Diffusion you can get a lot more involved and get a lot more freedom. We’re in a completely different world from March 2023 as far as generative tools go. Take a quick look at things work.
Let’s take these generation parameters for instance: sarasf, 1girl, solo, robe, long sleeves, white footwear, smile, wide sleeves, closed mouth, blush, looking at viewer, sitting, tree stump, forest, tree, sky, traditional media, 1990s (style), <lora:sarasf_V2-10:0.7>
To break down a bit of what’s going on here, I’d like to explain some of the elements found here. sarasf is the token for the LoRA of the character in this image, and <lora:sarasf_V2-10:0.7> is the character LoRA for Sarah from Shining Force II. LoRA are like supplementary models you use on top of a base model to capture a style or concept, like a patch. Some LoRA don’t have activation tokens, and some with them can be used without their token to get different results.
The 0.7 in <lora:sarasf_V2-10:0.7> refers to the strength at which the weights from the LoRA are applied to the output. Lowering the number causes the concept to manifest weaker in the output. You can blend styles this way with just the base model or multiple LoRA at the same time at different strengths. Furthurmore you can adjust the UNet and Text Encoder by adding another colon like so : <lora:sarasf_V2-10:1:0.7> for even more varied results. Doing this allows you to separate the “idea” from the “look” of the LoRA. You can even use a monochrome LoRA and take the weight into the negative to get some crazy colors.
The Negative Prompt is where you include things you don’t want in your image. (worst quality, low quality:1.4), here are quality tags and have their attention set to 1.4. Attention is sort of like weight, but for tokens. LoRA bring their own weights to add onto the model, whereas attention on tokens works completely inside the weights they’re given. In this negative prompt FastNegativeV2 is an embedding known as a Textual Inversion. It’s sort of like a crystallized collection of tokens that tell the model something precise you want without having to enter the tokens yourself or mess around with the attention manually. Embeddings you put in the negative prompt are known as Negative Embeddings.
In the next part, Steps stands for how many steps you want the model to take to solve the starting noise into an image. More steps take longer. VAE is the name of the Variational Autoencoder used in this generation. The VAE is responsible for working with the weights to make each image unique. A mismatch of VAE and model can yield blurry and desaturated images, so some models opt to have their VAE baked in, Size are the dimensions in pixels the image will be generated at. Seed is the number representation of the starting noise for the image. You need this to be able to reproduce a specific image.
Model is the name of the model used, and Sampler is the name of the algorithm that solves the noise into an image. There are a few different samplers, also known as schedulers, each with their own trade-offs for speed, quality, and memory usage. CFG is basically how close you want the model to follow your prompt. Some models can’t handle high CFG values and flip out, giving over-exposed or nonsense output. Hires steps represents the amount of steps you want to take on the second pass to upscale the output. This is necessary to get higher resolution images without visual artifacts. Hires upscaler is the name of the model that was used during the upscaling step, and again there are a ton of those with their own trade-offs and use cases.
Not all selfies are art, but you can make art with cameras. I think the same applies here.
People are actively losing their livelihoods because AI tech is being oversold and overhyped as something that it’s not. Execs are all jumping on the bandwagon and because they see AI as something that will save them a bunch of money, they are laying off people they think aren’t needed anymore. So, just try to incorporate that sentiment into your understanding of why people are also upset about AI. You may not be personally affected, but there are countless that are. In fact, over the next two years, as many as 203,000 entertainment workers in the US alone could be affected
This EFF article by Katharine Trendacosta and Cory Doctorow touches on this. I think it’s worth a read.
You want to have fun creating fancy kitbashed images based off of other people’s work, go right ahead.
Just don’t call it art and call yourself an artist, unless you could actually make it yourself using practical skills.
This is just snobbery that people have always used to devalue the efforts of others. Punching down and gatekeeping won’t solve your problems, the people you’re really mad at are above you.
Art is about bringing your ideas into the world, anything beyond that is fetish. Spending hundreds of hours learning a skill isn’t art, it’s work. While I believe the effort invested in a work can contribute to its depth and meaning, that doesn’t make them better than works without as much effort.
I also need to find a way to do “window devour” in sway.
I also tried Hyprland and it was a total nope for me, I wasted my time reading the wiki pinning workspaces to certain monitors only for hyprland to tell me that shit was deprecated. I also found that I can’t move a floating window between displays in hyprland, as the move left/right commands move the floating window to the left or right of the display and don’t actually move it left or right, that means the window gets stuck in the left or right side of the display when trying to move it into the next.
edit: And my polybar is a long config for multiple displays as well that has several features I worked on and I really don’t wanna bother migrating to another bar:
I have indicators of cpu usage (which when click change the cpu scheduler), mem, gpu, etc, It also prints the names of the windows in the scratchpad which is the Xfce4-terminal Mate-calc in this case, the current workspace, the window class name and instance of the window with focus, the currently playing music track with playerctl, the volume in decibels, the current network speed, etc.

From the wiki article “Historocity of Jesus” that youve carefully ignored in other replies. Emphasis courtesy of the secular individual entitled, ‘me.’
"The criterion of multiple attestation looks at the number of early sources that mention, and evaluates the reliability of those sources. To establish the existence of a person without any assumptions, one source from one author (either a supporter or opponent) is needed; for Jesus there are at least twelve independent sources from five authors in the first century from supporters and two independent sources from two authors from non-supporters.[29][note 8] There are Christian sources on the person of Jesus (the letters of Paul and the Gospels) and there are also Jewish and Roman sources (e.g. Josephus, Suetonius, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, and rabbinic tradition[which?]) that mention Jesus,[2][31][32][33] and there are also many apocryphal texts that are examples of the wide variety of writings from early Christianity. These additional sources are independent sources on Jesus’s existence, and corroborate details found in other surviving sources as a “bedrock of historical tradition”.[33][34] Contemporary non-Christian sources in the first and second century never deny the existence of Jesus,[35] and there is also no indication that Pagan or Jewish writers in antiquity who opposed Christianity questioned the existence of Jesus.[36][37][33] Taking into consideration that sources on other first century individuals from Galilee were also written by either supporters or enemies as well, the sources on Jesus cannot be dismissed.[29][38]
[…]
Historiographical approaches associated with the study of the poor in the past, such as microhistory, can help assess what type of sources can be reasonably expected in the historical record for individuals like Jesus. For instance, Justin Meggitt argues that since most people in antiquity left no sign of their existence, especially the poor, it is unreasonable to expect non-Christian sources to corroborate the specific existence of someone with Jesus’s socio-economic status.[52] Ehrman argues that the historical record for the first century was so lacking that no contemporary eyewitness reports for prominent individuals such as Pontius Pilate or Josephus survive.[53] Theissen and Merz observe that even if ancient sources were to be silent on any individual, they would not impact their historicity since there are numerous instances of people whose existence is never doubted and yet were not mentioned by contemporary authors. For instance, Paul is not mentioned by Josephus or non-Christian sources; John the Baptist is not mentioned by Paul, Philo, or rabbinic writings; Rabbi Hillel is not mentioned by Josephus - despite him being a Pharisee; Bar Kochba, a leader of the Jewish revolt against the Romans is not mentioned by Dio Cassius in his account of the revolt.[54] With at least 14 sources by believers and nonbelievers within a century of the crucifixion, there is much more evidence available for Jesus than for other notable people from 1st century Galilee.[55] Non-Christian sources do exist and they corroborate some details of the life of Jesus that are also found in New Testament sources.[33] Historian Michael Grant argues that when the New Testament is analyzed with the same criteria used by historians on ancient writings that contain historical material, Jesus’s existence cannot be denied anymore than secular figures whose existence is never questioned.[56
[…]
The seven Pauline epistles considered by scholarly consensus to be genuine were written in a span of a decade starting in the late 40s (i.e., approximately 20 to 30 years after the generally accepted time period of Jesus’s death) and are the earliest surviving Christian texts that include information about Jesus.[40] Although Paul the Apostle provides relatively little biographical information about Jesus[70] and states that he never knew Jesus personally, he does make it clear that he considers Jesus to have been a real person[note 13] and a Jew.[71][72][73][74][note 14] Moreover, he interacted with eyewitnesses of Jesus since he wrote about meeting and knowing James, the brother of Jesus[75][note 15][note 10] and Jesus’s apostles Peter[77][note 16] and John.[79] Additionally, there are independent sources (Mark, John, Paul, Josephus) affirming that Jesus actually had brothers.[80] Craig A. Evans and Ehrman argue that Paul’s letters are among the earliest sources that provide a direct link to people who lived with and knew Jesus since Paul was personally acquainted with Peter and John, two of Jesus’s original disciples, and James, the brother of Jesus.[46][77] Paul’s first meeting with Peter was around 36 AD.[77] Paul is the earliest surviving source to document Jesus’ death by crucifixion and his conversion occurred two years after this event.[40] Paul mentioned details in his letters such as that Jesus was a Jew, born of the line of David, and had biological brothers.[40] According to Simon Gathercole, Paul’s description of Jesus’s life on Earth, his personality, and family tend to establish that Paul regarded Jesus as a natural person, rather than an allegorical figure.[81]
[…]
Non-Christian sources used to study and establish the historicity of Jesus include the c. first century Jewish historian Josephus and Roman historian Tacitus. These sources are compared to Christian sources, such as the Pauline letters and synoptic gospels, and are usually independent of each other; that is, the Jewish sources do not draw upon the Roman sources. Similarities and differences between these sources are used in the authentication process.[82][83][84][85] From these two independent sources alone, certain facts about Jesus can be adduced: that he existed, his personal name was Jesus, he was called a messiah, he had a brother named James, he won over Jews and gentiles, Jewish leaders had unfavorable opinions of him, Pontius Pilate decided his execution, he was executed by crucifixion, and he was executed during Pilate’s governorship.[33] Josephus and Tacitus agree on four sequential points: a movement was started by Jesus, he was executed by Pontius Pilate, his movement continued after his death, and that a group of “Christians” still existed; analogous to common knowledge of founders and their followers like Plato and Platonists.[86] Jesus is referenced by Josephus twice, once in Book 18 and once in Book 20 of Antiquities of the Jews, written around AD 93 to 94. On the first reference, the general scholarly view holds that the longer passage, known as the Testimonium Flavianum, in Book 18 most likely consists of an authentic nucleus that was subjected to later Christian interpolation or forgery.[87][88] On the second reference, Josephus scholar Louis H. Feldman states that “few have doubted the genuineness” of the reference found in Antiquities 20, 9, 1 to “the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James”.[89][90][91][92] Tacitus, in his Annals (written c. AD 115), book 15, chapter 44,[93] describes Nero’s scapegoating of the Christians following the Fire of Rome. He writes that the founder of the sect was named Christus (the Christian title for Jesus); that he was executed under Pontius Pilate; and that the movement, initially checked, broke out again in Judea and even in Rome itself.[94] The scholarly consensus is that Tacitus’ reference to the execution of Jesus by Pilate is both authentic and of historical value as an independent Roman source.[95][96][97]
