Would you still say that when you are in game and enemy team members crowdfund 1200 points on you while average kill score is 10? xD

I always have said. Open Source shouldn't mean free labor. I personally develop open source software and get paid. And I am really against advocating that because the project is open source, the maintainer is not supposed to get paid and do it in their free time, voluntarily, and as a hobby.

Meanwhile players discuss this...

Players on JMA CTF Discord discuss socialist, communism and capitalism in CTF

I'm not sure if by "materials" they also meant shotguns...

So many people think open source games are a no-go. But there are many good FOSS games. Luanti CTF is one of those games I really enjoy. It is based on the open source voxel game engine Luanti which has similarities with the closed source Minecraft game.

I have been playing this game since youth years. And now I also develop the game :)

Server address: jmaminetest.mooo.com:30001

Some YT channels posting CTF vids:

Edit: See this post from rubenwardy on history of CTF. He started the game. And as he lost interest, he did a wise choice to hand it over to someone else.

Edit2: This server, and also other servers in the JMA network is strictly family friendly. Bear this in mind when playing on the server. This also means it could be a good playground for your kids, if you've got any :)

Even without vibe coding, writing an app from scratch has always been the easier/easiest part. The hard part is maintaining the app and keeping it alive over the years.

 

There is a pro player on the server who kills you over and over?

This pro player is so annoying but also you are too noob to combat him/her? That's no problem!

We offer Capitalism as a Service in JMA CTF. You can use your match score to put bounty on the offending player. The teammate who kills the target, receives a sum of the normal kill score + the bounty you have put!

Furthermore, the game puts a skull above the target visible only to enemies. So the bounty hunters on your team can easier find the juicy meat!

Also, with /lb command short for "list bounties", your team can see a list of targets and the prices on them!

PS: I already introduced the game in this post

PS2: I am also a developer of the game. As I added the skull feature, I also became the first victim xD

Here's a chance I've got to rethink about copyleft.

In the case I'm wrong on this, we'll know in future :)

oh I thought this "one generation of suffering" only happens in me country! It happens in here for non technical stuff. When some new stuff gets widespread in me country for the first time, a lot of people misuse or abuse it. An example is telephone. Another is Internet itself. And lately, coffee has become widespread in here(Iran) and people don't know when to have an espresso and how many espressos per day is fine. There was a guy "I take 5-6 espressos per day and I'm fine".

In a similar way, many people spend too much time on social media rather than doing something productive.

Currently I'm not using any LLM. I want to have it locally and haven't found a time to launch it yet. But I am not interested about their current state, but also their future state. Surrounded by a big hype "LLMs will replace human programmers", I want to emphasize what an LLM is fundamentally not capable of, no matter how much advanced and how many billion billion of parameters.

Friendly reminder that many drugs like heroin and morphin can be life savers if used correctly. Either directly or by changing some of its chemicals. For instance, when people have heavy surgeries, morphin is a life saver to evade the insane pain. Needless to say that many of such these or a production of them are used as meds for mental illnesses.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I always wondered about Zig :)

Of course I can do me research in any language. But what will be the ratio of the effort put on the algorithm itself and its testing? vs the time you have to implement and change the algorithm in that language?

Generating a working assembly code is not a big deal. People were doing it before LLMs see slightest light of the day using various other heuristics including Genetic Programming. The challenge is writing an Assembly code which you can prove works well and will continue to do so :)

That's why Genetic Programming is very rarely used to directly generate a software.

Edit: But you can use GP for Machine Learning tasks. Tell it to generate a program, like an assembly code which plays chess well. Or can do a binary classification given a photo or other media.

 

At this point, this is just a theory. But I do hope someone can make this real in the coming years :)
