Some people got jobs or worked their way up with portfolio pieces, but in the end this didn't really change the brutal boom-bust cycle of the industry, or give it more stability and broader audiences through cultural prestige or seriousness. So maybe free games, accessible tools, paying some attention to what the rabble are up to, etc, hadn't actually done anything? Of course the industry had enclosed and hoovered up what was amenable to it, but expecting practices, communities and values based on voluntary association and non-commercial exchange to transform your commercial industry into something more sustainable is kind of like expecting some eggs you got from a goose to keep laying eggs.

merwok • 2020-08-14 The limitations apply to the PNG carts, which are meant to be the released, public versions of games. For development, if you do all your changes in a P8 file, you can always save even if you are over the token limits. (The P8 format also lets you use any text editor, copy/edit sounds, use version control and see differences between versions.) So this workflow should help: develop with a P8, save as PNG to publish. Another trick is to have all your debug/ inspection code in a separate lua or p8 file and have '#include debug.lua' at the top of your code, so that you get access to your functions during development (include is like a direct copy of the source code), and you comment the line out and remove all debugging function calls before saving as PNG. merwok Previous message only answered your question about limitations for development. If the game itself really needs more data than available, we're talking about over techniques. • not enough tokens: rework the code in big or small ways to make it shorter • not enough sprites/sfx/map: encode data as strings, load them at runtime and write them to the right memory section to replace what's there • still not enough sprites/etc and not enough space in code to encode data as strings: publish only your level 1 on the BBS, make another version using multicart (one cart can load sprites/map/etc from another cart, up to 16 carts), export that to HTML so you can publish the full game on your website or itch dot io

"Model development today is like a big family tree. Most models are related to each other because developers synthesize a lot of training data with models even from different companies," Hamilton told me in an email. He, Mimno, and their colleague Rebecca M. M. Hicke found this in a 2025 paper where they looked at specific words used across models. OpenAl's first ChatGPT model, GPT-3.5, is the root of the family tree because it was used to make WildChat, a training set that's since been used to make other training sets. "WildChat contains 1 million real conversations with ChatGPT, and 166 of these contain the name 'Elias' like here and here," Hamilton added. "These are written in that familiar 'lighthouse' style. Models trained on WildChat copied this style, and developers unwittingly replicated it when using those models to generate newer datasets. It's like a virus."

r/SteamController 1d ago Toikka PSA: Watch out for the exposed contacts of the Puck! Almost started a fire due to metallic smartwatch strap Steam Controller (2026) So my smartwatch's metallic strap accidentally touched the Puck's exposed contacts and started sizzling due to a short circuit. The smartwatch was on its own charger and the strap of it hit the Puck at the exact wrong angle. Almost started a fire. I consider this is completely my fault, so don't worry about me blaming Valve for this, I won't even open a support ticket. Just be careful if you have a metallic strap for your smartwatch or other metals around the Steam Puck, as when it's on the exposed contacts will start heating up anything they touch. Keep the Puck 1-2m separate from anything that can warm up or be metallic. Xbox series elite controller has a similar exposed-pogo-pin design, as does my Pixel watch charger. So if these two are in close proximity they may arc. Thankfully I caught it just in time, the damage is visual. My Pixel Watch 4 and Steam Puck are both fine. I'll wait until you can order Pucks separately. EDIT: The Steam Hardware team has been in touch and is investigating. I'll send them the items soon so they can reproduce the issue. They'll send me a replacement Puck. EDIT 2: The watch is actually a Pixel Watch 3, sorry.
