  • I immediately skip any games that are described as "roguelike" or "soulslike"

    Jump

  • That's the exact opposite of my experience, souls-like require you to have a large chunk of time to put into the. Just looking at dark souls: you can be far away from a bonfire, have no idea where the next one is, dying means losing most progress, and you can't pause.

    Also, when facing bosses, taking a break in between can reset your rythmn meaning you lose some momentum if you put the game down.

    Dark souls games can definitely be fun, but I think rouge lites are better for a pick up and play mentality since runs will range from 15-45mins typically (depending on the game).

  • How Much Do LLMs Hallucinate in Document Q&A Scenarios? A 172-Billion-Token Study Across Temperatures, Context Lengths, and Hardware Platforms [TLDR: 25%]

    Jump

  • Thanks for providing the actual numbers.

    I think one of the more concerning things is, what if you think the answer is in the documents you provided but they actually aren't. What you think is a low error rate could actually be a high error rate.

  • Just for context, this is the error rate when the right answer is provided to the LLM in a document. This means that even when the answer is being handed to the LLM they fail at the rates provided in the article/paper.

    Most people interacting with LLMs aren't asking questions against documents, or the answer can not be directly inferred from the documents (asking the LLM to think about the materials in the documents).

    That means in most situations the error rate for the average user will be significantly higher.

  • there is a AI free fork of vim, called evi

  • It's probably better to read the synopsis online, but from what I recall the general plot is: >!Humans are forced to live underground, kid finds this spiral key which can be used to control mechs, they use mechs to free humans and take back earth, the eventually find out there is an evil force that caused this all, they fight the moon (which turns into a mech) and then have some space battles.!<

  • I don't think you understand what a monopoly is.

  • Trump looks increasingly desperate to restrict voting rights

    Jump

  • While I don't think this should ever pass, I think a huge issue is we're too close to the election to be changing how voting works. People could vote in the primaries and then not have the documents to vote in the actual election. Something like this would need to be phased in over time, just think about how long Real IDs took to implement.

  • Why China can withstand oil's surge past $100 more easily than other countries

    Jump

  • I always forget when looking at energy production, the US is at 40% renewable+nuclear (21% just renewable) which is actually around the same for China ~40% renewable+nuclear (35% just renewable).

  • Phoenix-based company's LUCAS drone changes war in Iran

    Jump

  • If it's like the sahed drone then it costs about $30k, has the range of a "medium-range" ballistic missile (which cost millions of dollars), but moves at ~115mph vs supersonic. They also have more limited payload.

    So the general principle is that you can produce them quick enough that you can deploy enough to overwhelm your enemies defenses. They also use satellite and interial navigation so can be fairly accurate.

  • Games you've given honest tries for and just don't find fun

    Jump

  • I thought TOTK was worse cause now you're also managing the parts inventory. It was so frustrating to get to certain places and find out you didn't have the necessary parts (like a glider) to do certain things.

    I even ended up using duplication glitches to skip resource scavgening and I still felt like I ended up wasting half the game managing my inventory.

  • Games you've given honest tries for and just don't find fun

    Jump

  • I agree with you, it's a decent open world game but a pretty mediocre Zelda game. I had hoped TOTK might improve upon the direction they chose to take the series, but it kinda doubles down on all the weaker points of BOTW (uninspired "dungeons", more one-time use resources, etc.).

    I think my biggest gripe with TOTK and Echoes of Wisdom is that you can solve 90% of the "puzzles" with one or two techniques. There isn't a lot of critical thinking needed when you can use things like the rocket to just skip most of the puzzle and similarly I think I solved a majority of the puzzles in Echoes of Time using the bed echo.

  • The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy

    Jump

  • That's a fair call out. My comment about systemic issues was to address the fact that it's somewhat unfair to compare apples and oranges. So when I said the economy was doing well under Biden, I meant in regards to the current systems in place in the US.

    That being said, the economy is generally measured in how productive the country is. If the economy is doing good, then generally we have lots of people producing lots of things. That doesn't mean we're producing the right things though, as that comes down more to policy and public sentiment/behavior.

  • The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy

    Jump

  • Under Biden wages were growing faster than inflation, inflation was coming down, unemployment wasnt growing, stockmarket/business were doing well. Meaning things were doing okay and had the potential to do even better.

    Also, a lot of the points you made aren't directly tied to the economy and are systemic to the country. No matter how good the economy is doing, privatized Healthcare is going to cause issues.

  • Coming out of the pandemic the US had one of the best looking economies. If he had done nothing he could have taken all the credit. Instead he decided to shoot himself and the country in the foot.

  • This is talking about American citizens killed by Israelis in Palestinian territory called the West Bank (Gaza is the other half). So isn't about the war with Iran.

  • This design reminds me of all the evtol cars that have been coming out. I wonder if it'll be a similar situation, interesting concepts/designs that just never really stick the landing.
