Congrats on dipping your toes into networking! Don’t let it suck you in too much or you’ll end up with a career change.

Plenty of resources out there to learn from, just pick a project and try to implement it. Or just play around with netcat (just ‘nc’ nowadays).

Look into the TCP/IP stack (or the OSI model, both cover the core concepts) for an overview of how applications talk to each other. This will also help you understand how LocalSend probably works (my guess is broadcasting to your network and seeing what devices are listening on a certain port. Some LAN-enabled games work like this, others aren’t as magical and ask you to provide an address and a port).

Don’t DM, reply so we may spread the word.

From their convo, obviously.

This isn’t even satire… The Onion is really struggling to beat actual news in absurdity lately

I forgot what game it was for, but some guy implemented an actual conversation system with in-game outcomes using AI.

I could also see more dynamic questing systems, character behaviors, even crafting systems based around the tech. But that requires investment and effort to make the tech work. Not exactly why studios might be investing in AI in the first place.

“Jean Baptiste, Emmanuel, Musk”

Just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Makes it sound like a downgrade tbh

It’s illegal to diagnose someone with Hamas without a medical license. (Maybe that’s why Israel keeps doing it?)

So I started watching Fox News on YT for shits and giggles (know thy enemy or some shit). After Walz was announced as VP pick, Fox did a Trump call with a rally crowd where they asked him questions. One of the first guys asked how he was going to put more money into the pockets of Americans. He prefaced the question by saying he had 8 kids (I’m assuming a mix of young and old) and the younger ones can’t survive without his support. The hypocrasy is just hilarious to see at this point.

HEB. Really big here in Texas. It’s more “premium” than Walmart at usually comparable prices, though they are more food focused vs. carrying everything.
