Although git.sr.ht is not responding, I saw this same page and noticed it is dated from December last year, so I'm not sure the cause is accurate.

(Unless it's supposed to be a continuation of the same event that has never resolved since December, but it's unclear?)


This is very interesting - I’ve tried to make custom syntaxes for describing dialog etc multiple times, for embedding into game projects, especially since things like Ink aren’t really amenable to porting to other languages easily. So the multitarget/multi-language focus is very attractive.

One thing I will say though - I think something that would set a language/toolset like this apart, would be a high quality UI for showing how different parts flow into each other (a diagrammatic view as an essential / main view instead of just eg an addon).

I mostly say that out of jealousy after seeing the kinds of tooling that companies like eg Obsidian have for writing dialog and narratives


I talk a bit about the roadmap there: https://loreline.app/en/journal/march-2026/, and yes, there are plans to make an actual app with UI that helps navigate and analyze the narrative content, it's just not the focus yet (better to have a solid language and runtimes to run it first). More should come on that subject during the year!

> ours seems to be climate collapse. It used to be nuclear war

Except climate collapse is actually happening already, gradually.

There were escalating tensions during the Cold War, but it wasn’t like there were actual nukes being dropped in slow motion


Collapse by definition is not gradual

This is really avoiding the obvious point being made.

Here's a other analogy to avoid your criticism: if a plane runs out of gas midair, it doesn't immediately crash, but it's going to.


Go watch a big chimney stack being demolished. It hangs around in the air for a long time, before it is suddenly gone. But it’s definitely collapsing the whole time.

"Gradually, then suddenly.”

(Feels like a Hemingway quote fits rather nicely here.)


Ahh, good, parsing words. I can tell you have a lot of useful and interesting things to say.

So tired of people trying to pass off pseudointellectual pedanticism as useful or additive insight.


I think the status page while waiting for generation is showing messages from across other users too? I saw a mishmash of different progresses, "Please provide dimensions" and then it returned to showing other random inputs

Wine configuration -> Drives -> Remove

It's like the most trivial thing to change


Disney's involvement with this was always strange. Their business lives and dies on the strength of their characters and their designs - why would you risk allowing a service to dilute them down and maybe misuse them?

If you can't beat them, join em?

But now that the deal is off, I'm sure their legal team will attempt to once again change copyright law in their favor.


The title here needs changing, this is for nvidia cards but it is not an official project and has nothing to do with them

(Feels especially deceptive when there is another top story right with the headline “nvidia nemoclaw” which is an official project)


Seems more like he had the patent long enough to build a sustainable business from his own work, and now he’s been able to earn enough from it that others’ implementations aren’t a risk to him.

Which is kind of the entire point of patents, just that they last way too long relative to the speed of technological progress


He said "holding on to it any longer benefits nobody", implicitly including himself. He may believe that it's to his advantage for the patent to be more widely used.

Which makes sense--I don't doubt that he is a subject matter expert where this patent is concerned. If this algorithm continues to be widely used or its use increases, then that would be likely be good for him.


How did you find out their game used this library? Maybe I missed it but didn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere


They mentioned switching to the Steam networking backend, which for games is essentially GNS.


Ahh thank you, didn’t make the link between the names


I would imagine it’s all UDP and the reliable+ordered is just a different mode which does the re-sending etc.

I would be surprised if they actually had TCP at all
