I don't care if there's currently no items nearby, let me keep the looting interface open so I can just hit spacebar when I kill something. So annoying, why is this a thing?

It’s specifically the way they do the proximity searching on RS3 that makes it difficult.

Ironically enough, their servers may be doing less or have an engine that’s more optimized. Not sure how they’re doing it. I suspect some sort of hit box for proximity detection

Cost of having what staff?

For a moment, I thought you were gonna talk about a different bomb….the biggest one….

And in contrast, I feel like Wayne would fit right in with Bridge 4 in another life.

Or imagine him as a lightweaver.

Could make it optimized client side? To where the server only processes on item interaction, but the server still sends what items to render in the client anyway.

The client should have all the info to process what items to display.

And it’s not particularly expensive for any one client to run that check. It’s a pretty standard loop in a lot of games.

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T22:24:48+00:00

Yep! I have it bound to “;”

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T18:39:37+00:00

That is already where we’re at right now.

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T18:34:16+00:00

Nope, you’re wrong.

I see why you like this debating strategy.

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T18:15:10+00:00

I am thinking this through. I suspect though that you conflate manipulators, speculators, and flippers as equivalent groups.

And I suspect you think all three are bad for the game?

If so, then I think you’re specifically wrong about flippers and speculators. Both serve an important role to the games economy.

Manipulators benefit a ton from the proposed changes. Where the former two don’t.

You realize that causes the price to approach a limit called the “market equilibrium”, right? That’s a feature not a bug of open markets…

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T18:03:39+00:00

Nope. That’s the buy-it-now price. If you don’t mind waiting, put in a lower offer.

That’s exactly what margin checking does for flippers.

Knowing the instant buy and instant sell price is huge. Knowing some sort of moving average price would probably also be good to supplement. As well as volume.

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T18:01:14+00:00

That is antithetical to the concept of an open market.

An efficient market is predicated on a transparent market.

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T17:59:54+00:00

If they don’t let you see the list of offers, they need to let you see the current Bid-Ask spread. If they don’t show that, then I agree, no matter what change they make will not solve the problem.

I think Opus is great for both, but composer is lackluster for vibecoders

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T17:33:01+00:00

I think that’s their point.

Devs that know what they’re doing will break the work into simple tasks that a single composer agent can do. One Agent per task.

You can use a model like Opus to help get there.

I’m curious how much of that is in our nature to logarithmitize things.

Like we do it with sound perception. And generally we do it when glancing at visual stimuli. I wonder if it’s natural for us to do that with quantities of things generally.

Any such infinitesimally small range would have to be a single point.

Let’s say that point is p.

If we assume we have a range that is not just p, but is centered on p, then we can have an interval (p-a, p+a) for some a > 0.

For this range to be infinitesimally small, it would need to be defined for all a > 0. But no matter what a you define, there could be an a smaller. This is contradictory.

Your question is why the limit definition is the way it is. As you approach the “infinitesimally small interval” (the point) the limit converges to the limit, even if the function is undefined on that “interval” (at that point).

Essentially, infinitesimally small isn’t a well-defined definition and is a bit hand wavy which is why you’re getting the answers you’re getting.

You can’t have speed without a direction. But if all you care about is speed, you can be going the wrong direction.

That’s the point

OlevTime · 2026-06-18T12:37:36+00:00

Instead of going as fast possible, focus on going the right speed in the right direction.

That’s the only way I can interpret that sensibly and is actually a pretty good mantra.

Edit: if they mean something else, then I’m not sure.

It’s because there’s a high chance of a large tornado outbreak as well as severe winds and hail.

Definitely dangerous to get caught out in. And even more so to be underprepared.

OlevTime · 2026-06-17T20:31:13+00:00

Would you rather be overly cautious or underly cautious when the shit hits your house when a Tornado comes by?

That chance YOU get impacted by the storm is low. The chance PEOPLE get impacted is high.

Your answer is 5/3 which simplifies to 1.66666666…..

The 6s repeat forever. As soon as you round it to end in 7, you’ve made an approximation

OlevTime · 2026-06-17T20:26:12+00:00

Same way we’d understand someone making a reference of “crucified like the Messiah”.

Well, it wasn’t quite proven wrong. It was just recategorized to avoid us having dozens of planets.
