    The Astronomy Thread

    Another version of your theory that's more feasible: some advanced civilization figures out that we live in a simulation and then figures out that everything follows predictable fractals or patterns or whatever, or something, and uses that to figure out where all the other civilizations are...

    The Astronomy Thread

    This would be like if someone dumped a 5 gallon bucket of 20 sided dice down a steep road, then went to one of the alleys a few dice rolled down, predicted the configuration of the dice in the bucket and the surface of the roadway based on the values their dice rolled and then used that to guess...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    This fact basically makes all the cool bipedal/quadripedal robots a dead end tech right now, but all the other stuff Boston Dynamics (and the rest of the industry) is doing for AI, materials science, mechanization, etc, is also important. Energy density is going up but there are chemical...

    Chat GPT AI

    I'd give it a rip. I think the current delay on ChatGPT makes it infeasible though in terms of being able to respond to kids. I also doubt that the voice recognition is anywhere good enough to be able to understand a typical <10 year old where you basically need to know what they are going to...

    Chat GPT AI

    The outsourcing to impoverished areas is pretty wild. We did a collab with one of those companies and the stories about the workers are fascinating. Basically the workers we worked with largely comprise of girls who can either live in shithole, marry their uncle at age 10 or label point clouds /...

    Chat GPT AI

    My understanding is they don't have a true "request filter" with human-curated terms as much as they have an indeterministic engine for filtering responses. I don't know all the inputs to that engine but it provides different results over time and for different people. If I had to guess there's...

    Lmao, i thought this was a satirical article at first. The idea that they have an army of people curating responses in real time is hilarious.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I brushed this warning off when I rolled by enchanter on Aradune, thinking that it couldn't be that bad. Sure enough after a few weeks of it I was tired of the burden and would rather just have a non-OP mage or necro pet. Maintaining the charmed pet while keeping buffs rolling while boxing a...

    The Mandalorian

    Gina's weight goes beyond just her acting career. Something like 3 of her 8 fights she's missed weight, which is hugely unprofessional. Watching her waddle around season 2 wearing a steel belted corset she couldnt bend in just made her role hilarious.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    The back alley stuff makes me think that the core game is rock solid so they're adding bells and whistles that a lot of players will totally ignore. Confirm/deny??

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    This is the truth. Most EQ TLP players want a candy corn carnival version of EQ and still manage to whale so hard it makes absolute bank for DPG. Live EQ raiding is also in an embarrassing state. I think every raiding force worth anything will kill all the encounters the first night they unlock.

    https://blog.elevenlabs.io/enter-the-new-year-with-a-bang/ This is probably the best AI voice I've heard. Better than speechify. I listen to a ton of audio books and would love to hear one where each character is a unique parameterization.

    Better for the potterverse media team to make a bit stink about it as some kind of book burning, repressive thing so edgy shitlords buy three copies of hogwarts legacy instead of two.

    Ah, ok. Good that they made an attempt and shame on the Vaniki leaders for trying to sandbag or whatever. Which people, specifically, did they talk to?

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I kinda hope they ditch the AB testing they do with a vanilla TLP mixed with an experimental TLP. It dillutes the playerbase too much. Yeah. Just having hard content that motivates people to spend $$$ has to be a motivator for DPG to continue to play with level locking or something that makes...

    Chat GPT AI

    The smarter these chatbots get the more introspective the questions of sapience, sentience, sagacious, being alive become. If we're really just a ball of survival instincts and sin with a thin veneer of higher-level thinking that concocts an illusion of intelligence, maybe these chatbots just...

    EQ TLP - Next Server Ideas

    Things that would interest me in a TLP: Harder content so everything isn't just faceroll. Vaniki had an interesting idea with this, would be nice to see some form of it refined. Something to reduce kronolords camping everything. I like the idea of everything being nodrop with corpses...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    NVIDIA, AMD, Intel etc should normalize having their own bidding shopping websites for when price hikes come up again. If they build that system now and auction off batches of stuff at around MSRP they can take advantage of it in the future.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I've never tried it for two sets of reasons: I think it would remove a lot of the fun I have personally playing the game and would make playing EQ too similar to work (I work as a programmer). I'm worried that I'd get banned and I wouldn't be able to be as public in how I play the game. I...

    If they release a playable Squadron 42 game with that kind of realized gameplay I'd play it this month and consider my $45 "investment" I made 20 years ago or whatever a smart choice.

    Yes. It would've been easier I think. Here's the full breakdown. I also have some other notes on the SK here too: Tuco's Setup (Critique Welcome!) Mk.

    I did SE with Krastorio 2 and i think it's not tooo big of a difference because SE only gets hard in the space stage. I put this game down after getting to the space stage because it started to feel like software development in a game but am planning to come back in a month or so.
