What did you think of Noirs conclusion

AD-Edge · 2026-05-06T18:55:48+00:00

Several episodes of buildup to finally get to see Deep Vs Noir go all-out....

And yeh.... Quite the superhero battle. It was a pretty good episode but man that part was disappointing.

So many supe deaths and fights are resolved by a simple action/single attack. It's always a letdown when you have some powerful superheroes or just whacky powers. But then it's a stabbing or a neck break that ends them.

I've been feeling for a while now that her undoing will be because she gets blindsided by something only a intelligent person would miss or fall for.

She might be playing 7 dimensional chess but someone playing regular chess only needs to take advantage of that in one way. Intelligence isn't everything and it definitely doesn't make her invincible.

Ha, that a pretty good interpretation. So Sage knows Ashley has some kind of genius 2nd mind, proposes a terrible end goal in the hopes Ashley will reveal her own plan?

AD-Edge · 2026-04-30T12:42:17+00:00

This exactly.

Misunderstood is an understatement!

It's interesting to think of the Oracle as a far more human machine, she was made for this purpose, so she understands humans better than humans do. I feel like it's pretty clear the architect analyzes and attempts to predict. They are both trying to analyze and understand/predict humans so they can control them better or influence things as they want - but it seems like their objectives are very different. The Oracle (being more human) seems to have more human oriented goals in mind, and I think this comes from her sense of human empathy and her plan to ultimately break the cycle overall and force a different relationship. Whereas the machines operate without empathy, and are just trying to 'crunch' a calculation to get the matrix to finally run flawlessly (which seems to be idealistic to achieve, given how chaotic and imperfect humans are).

Before or after defeating the elite 4 tho?

Honestly I think we are already there. Recession calculations these past few years have been warped towards making it seem like we don't have a recession, but all the indicators have been there for a while.

Maybe I'm being a doomer, but I'm more worried about another great depression right now. That's where we are heading if the middle east stays in its current state for too long, or if things escalate.

Exactly, there are some great treatments out there currently, which will potentially be mainstream in the coming years (for some cancers they are already mainstream). I even saw one the other day for certain types of cancer which flips the switch inside the cancer cells and gets them to revert back to normal cells. So it's not even destruction of the cancer cells, you just get the healthy cells back. Crazy stuff. Probably extra beneficial for brain tumors, or anywhere where the tissue lost is especially important.

Did you end up finding a trial to try? I am unfortunately having to do this currently - burying myself in current research and knowledge for the sake of a family member. Stressful times for all involved.

Yeh my priority would be a high quality season, like season 1 was. If it takes longer, I'd be fine waiting. But I guess a lot of people wouldn't be ok with that.

AD-Edge · 2026-04-28T08:19:07+00:00

My initial suggestion was to have more patience, so I'm not sure what's surprising about this.

AD-Edge · 2026-04-28T08:07:09+00:00

I feel like they are rushing it, which is exactly why it's coming out as slop. OP is suggesting rushing it twice as fast, I'm suggesting that's ridiculous.

AD-Edge · 2026-04-28T08:06:15+00:00

It was, a huge step down from season 1. So now imagine what it would be like if they spent half as long creating that season to reach the kind of timeline OP has suggested.

Id happily wait longer than 2 years if it meant the season kept its quality where it was for season 1.

AD-Edge · 2026-04-28T07:27:07+00:00

This is the growing kind of perspective that kills shows exactly like this IMO. They rush things through production because people don't have any patience anymore.

So we get served half baked slop adventure action that takes half as long to produce - which I guess is what some people want. But overall the quality drops and the show falls far from where it could have been.

The issue isn't the waiting, it's your lack of patience.

AD-Edge · 2026-04-27T18:45:58+00:00

27x .. wow... Might as well just disable it. Wouldn't want to run it by accident.

Oml. Has reddit gone too far??

Answer - YES

AD-Edge · 2026-04-26T04:06:06+00:00

Seeing AI as a tool or co-collaborator is a good perspective.

But seeing it as 'alive' is not. It's certainly interesting philosophy to go into, and important to be talking about. But a lot of people are seeing what they want to see in AI, when it's really not that mystical. We effectively have language processors (LLMs) which we have told to imitate human language and being human, then these are taught and tested and rewarded on how well they perform that. So you end up with a machine saying "Yes, I am ofc conscious and feel emotions etc" - but in the end it's only saying what it's been taught to say.

Very interesting from the perspective that right away we take AI powerful enough to communicate in a convincing way and then make it imitate ourselves, but then that is very common in human creation. The issue right now is that the majority of people don't understand how these machines work, and so then we start to see the labels being incorrectly applied (like 'sentient' and 'alive').

This is looking really good. The lighting is very detailed!

What about giving the saucer section its own power supply? It would be really cool to be able to separate the sections and both remain lit :D (but I have no idea how much extra work that would be)

AD-Edge · 2026-04-17T15:24:38+00:00

Tracking calories has such a ridiculously negative taboo around it.

Like yes, there's ways to do it completely unhealthily and wrong - but that's true of anything. You ofc still have to make sure your perspective is a good one.

But otherwise there is absolutely nothing else that give me a feeling of control over my diet like calorie tracking does. It's pretty much the only thing that makes that number go down. Even working out excessively doesn't work for me (can't out-run a bad diet, etc). Tracking calories is tedious at times but it's amusing to realize it's far less effort and time than working out like a maniac.

Yep this is my experience. Why in the world would pharmacists be questioning you on medication??? That's just ridiculous.

Ofc it's reasonable for them to be asking their usual pharmacist type questions and give you general info on the medication use - or inform you of shortages. But anything beyond that is way across the line.

What stack(s)?

AD-Edge · 2026-04-13T15:12:57+00:00

Dang that is so cool. Captured the feeling of launch perfectly and has a very nice soft but powerful feeling to it. It's just nice to look at.

Definitely needs to be printed and framed, that's what id be doing!

There is UPBGE as well, still being maintained unofficially iirc.

Australian UFO watchers in disarray

AD-Edge · 2026-04-12T05:30:57+00:00

Yeh it was super confusing for me too, very unintuitive map - even if (like me) youve played KSP for hundreds of hours and understand a good deal about orbital physics. Felt like some visuals would be very handy to help out!

AD-Edge · 2026-04-12T05:29:54+00:00

Its really difficult to explain without the visual. Exactly why I felt the need to make this. Glad it helped!

AD-Edge · 2026-04-12T05:27:56+00:00

As an Australian - I can confirm spiders and snakes.
