"Quake Brutalist Jam III was created for explicit use with the Ironwail source port, version 0.8.1 and above. If using other engines, especially the Quake Remaster, expect issues."

Yes, the original post has the vibe of something a human wrote to express an idea, while your version has the vibe of meandering, insincere, sycophantic AI slop that obfuscates the original idea in service of congratulating everything.

Both express the same basic criticism; you've just replaced the neutral tone with something that's perhaps more effective as a vomitory than as a criticism.


Rather than AI slop the above comes across to me as genuine corpospeak. I guess the task wasn't so much generation as it was translation. I found myself simultaneously impressed and disgusted.

I wonder how well an automated tool to go in the reverse direction would work in practice? With an accompanying style transfer GAN to rewrite the Corporate Memphis hellscape.


That's the crux of it; they aren't.

> Is it possible (practical) to reverse engineer a synth that uses a custom and undocumented DSP?

Yes, that's what the talk is about. It's probably an interesting watch to you since they actually went through a couple of different approaches to end up with a working emulation.


The video covers their DSP56300 work briefly in the introduction, but the main topic is that of reverse engineering the undocumented Toshiba DSP used in Roland JP-8000.

Yeah, even an average household can afford 40k of slow DRAM if they cut down on luxuries like food and housing.

Maybe the rich can but not all retro computer enthusiasts are rich.

If you can afford to spend a few dollars without sacrificing housing or food, you are being financial irresponsible.

Busy cut down on the avocado toast!

Then I can afford eggs, ram and a studio appartment!

Maybe in Ohio

No apartment then, maybe just green, eggs, and RAM.

What would the intended use case for that be?

Doom has some star power and is instantly recognizable to pretty much anyone, not just video game fans. Its engine is Free software that's easily adaptable to pretty much any input or output method. In this case Doom might also have made a better candidate than another first person shooter because you can't aim up or down in Doom, so there's no need to account for that in the rats' input.


My understanding is that 764 are mostly active on mainstream social media platforms, where most "fringe networks that are off the radar and will take them to very dark places very quickly" tend to operate, contrary to GP's concern.


> I think it would've been far easier to build a decent GUI around that flow, with some email integration + a patch preview tool, rather than adding activitypub, but oh well.
