If you're a good enough dev to determine the output of a LMM is valid and worth submitting as a change, you're likely good enough to not need an LLM to begin with. No one should be submitting AI generated pulls.

Observed Traits:
1. Intense focus on specific topics
The user writes frequently and at length about niche technical subjects. Linux desktops, memory management, retro gaming systems, low-level programming, and kernel internals.
This narrow but deep interest in a few topics is consistent with autistic "special interests", where an individual becomes highly knowledgeable and invested in a domain over time.
2. Formal, precise language
Their tone is usually very factual, sometimes pedantic.
For instance, they correct minor inaccuracies, cite specific versions or system behavior, and show a low tolerance for vague statements.
This aligns with the autistic trait of preferring clarity, precision, and correctness, especially in communication.
3. Low concern for social cues or audience tone
Many of their posts are direct or even dismissive, e.g. 'that's completely wrong,' or 'it's not bloated, you just don't know how to configure it.'
They appear less concerned with how their tone might be perceived emotionally.
This could reflect difficulty in modulating tone for social harmony, which is often found in autistic individuals.
4. Literal interpretation of discussions
Some responses suggest they take other users' questions or comments very literally, missing subtext or humor.
This might point to reduced instinct for implied meaning or sarcasm, another common feature in autism.
5. Resistance to ambiguity or generalization
The user often pushes back when others make broad claims or assumptions, offering exact technical explanations or exceptions.
This need for specificity over generality is also in line with certain autistic thinking patterns.
6. Obsessions about mod point in line with certain autistic thinking patterns.
What this could suggest:
There are indeed several traits here that align with what's seen in some people on the autism spectrumfocused interests, literal communication style, detail obsession, and a direct tone unconcerned with social smoothing.
These don't confirm autism, but they do suggest a cognitive style that might be described as "systemizing" (per Simon Baron-Cohen's theory), which is common in neurodivergent individuals.
Lets put aside for a moment that you are literally describing yourself without even realising it (evidently), I would take 10 overly-concise aspies over.. Whatever the fuck it is you're doing. Not even mad. I just hope you get the help you so clearly need.
Yet you block quoted text from the submission, which you appeared to respond to by saying "you blah blah blah". To everyone else, it looks like an old man talking back to the TV presenter, which based on your low UID, might in fact be true. Lrn2quote.
I need a handful of these for my various NFC based projects around the house. Would be nifty to try and clone them to work on some public systems as well. Fecked if I can work out where to buy them though, only seems to be standard cards available via the few websites I have been able to successfully cram through a babelfish.
It's nuts. The muppet in the hot seat, Bureau CEO Stuart Minchin, cited switching from HTTP to HTTPS as one of the main points during one of the regular grillings he has been getting from the media over the past few weeks, because apparently the data of Australians was on the line. On a website which requires precisely zero PII, or even general information (short of location) to use. Unless a giant infrastructure also went ahead in the background (like, from the feed horns on the radar back) it makes no sense if you're not living in the pork barrel yourself. If that did in fact happen, they need to fire whoever is in charge of their PR.
Meanwhile, just for shits and giggles, at least three consultancy firms have come out with their own versions of the front end which are objectively better in all regards than this new piece of junk, just to demonstrate how hard web dev isn't.
Gotta justify your budget somehow I guess.
Plenty of hate groups flourish on discord servers and whatsapp groups, with far easier ability to conduct and control raids real time than you ever had on a 4chan thread.
You're a naive fool to think that taking one website down will stop whatever part of the human condition it is that seeks these behaviour out. Until all the pipes are blocked and the cats are dead, there will always be another ocean to piss in.
> username checks the fuck out
Can't see the forest for the trees, or, more accurately for [$CURRENT YEAR], the fire for the flames I guess.
Did Climate Central grind out their flooding projections on a Beowulf cluster or something?
The sad thing about coming across a nugget of sense while reading through pages and pages of psychoposting on your user page is the realisation that sometimes, you are not like this. I can't imagine how depressing it must be for you to face the evidence of your illness (assuming you're self concious enough to backread from time to time) only to be drawn back into it before you can do anything about it.
I hope you get help, life must be exhausting for you.
The comments on that video are terrifying.. "OMG so smart".. "I never knew chimps were so smart!c etc etc.
Jesus fucking christ.
Yeah, that's fair, didn't really consider it like that. If you're demonstrating a technology, it's generally a good idea to at least provide the base functionality of the technology you're trying to improve was my point I guess. Maybe the AI renderer it can't keep up with a 180* whip around like you can do with mouse *shrugs*
When we're talking about Wolf3D, Hexen, Duke Nukem or Rise of the Triad, you go ahead, take a sip of water, clear your throat and prepare to chime in. Quake 2 was always point and shoot, and this sloppy AI fart doesn't even get that basic mechanic right.. Or get it at all.
Can't even use the mouse to drive, a fundamental of FPS games.
Large chunk of functionality missing? On brand for microshafts I guess.
> as it left the factory = no repairs?
Assuming the repair used OEM, or functionally identical aftermarket parts, repairs are fine. Replacing an OEM 4 way joystick with an aftermarket 8 way joystick (not functionally equivalent) like old mate Billy did, is not as it allows movements not intended by the game designers, thus making the game play different to the stock commercial cabinet. If they had a category specifically for DK with 8 way joysticks, he would be golden.
> The rules allow repairs.
Of course they do.
> As for coin slots being changed to differnt coins / tokens?
> card system?
> DBA?
> CC reader?
> free play button?
Do any of these have an impact on the function of the the game ROMs? How the sprites move on screen? The timings of the mainboard logic or how the play field is rendered? No. No they don't.
> What about official from the factory rom updates? That in some cases are installed in later runs of an game?
> factory official conversion kits?
There would be categories for each revision. The rules are available online, rev up that search engine my dude.
The whole premise of how Twin Galaxies operate their high score ranking is that the score must be done on original hardware, as it left the factory. Those are the rules you play by. Using a better stick is not using factory hardware, therefore the run was invalidated. You're in their house, you play by their rules.
It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
