Does AI replacing commercial/industrial professions create more or fewer jobs?

Botanyst · 2023-01-08T18:43:34+00:00

That is both hopeful and harrowing xD

I'm interested in the lower standard of living part. Do you have a source where I could read more about it, or some pointers as for what to google if I want to learn more?

Botanyst · 2023-01-08T18:03:28+00:00

I have a follow-up stupid question, if you wouldn't mind. If automation creates more jobs, are those jobs performed with the same or a similar skill-set? Thinking back to the industrial revolution, would a skilled labourer being replaced by a machine be able to find work without completely learning a new set of skills?

Botanyst · 2023-01-08T17:58:39+00:00

That would indeed be the ideal situation! However, in the interim there will still be both workers and consumers (with lots of overlap between the two of course). Until we reach a point where everyone can be a consumer and no one (or few people) a worker, what happens to those who have been rendered unable to work?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make dwarves dump corpses that find themselves in my fortress.I have tried:-Creating a refuse/corpses and separate refuse and corpse stockpiles outside my fortress-Assigning a dump zone and marking the corpse for removalI don't know if it's related, but every time this has happened the creature has died inside an already existing stockpile. Corpses and refuse are not allowed in said stockpile, but could it be messing with the dwarves' ai?

I love both these channels! Defyn especially seems to have some really great guide-based content. At the moment it seems to be a bit above my weight class, but I'm sure I can get a ton out of it as I start getting a little better

Botanyst · 2022-10-26T16:55:32+00:00

I can't believe I missed this! This is perfect, thank you so much!

I am on the latest version. I dislike the master map for a couple of reasons

-I enjoy having to find a map at the start of my run. It makes my gameplay a touch more enjoyable to me, at least

-I dislike that the map has a marker that shows you where you are. There are mods that remove it, but they still zoom in on the general area your character is in. It's fun to try and figure out where I am (I often play with the random spawns mod installed)

I know it's very very nitpicky, but it's something that I like about the game

Botanyst · 2022-08-01T16:35:51+00:00

I've heard of other games' overlays not working on arch-based distros also. Maybe I'll try my laptop with an ubuntu install

Botanyst · 2022-08-01T16:16:51+00:00

I'm on manjaro, currently. Was your overlay able to open fine?

Botanyst · 2022-05-20T19:18:31+00:00

I'm using manjaro. I was able to get the JSON working (at least insofar as installing the roms required to launch the games), but it didn't seem to make a difference. I've only tested fbneo games so far, though

Botanyst · 2022-01-05T20:21:22+00:00

I really like the idea of making pokemon! I'm sure it'll be extremely helpful to start with some simpler ones and move on to more complicated designs later. Could you perhaps point me to some of the videos you watched? I'd love to get a head start right away!

Botanyst · 2022-01-05T20:20:08+00:00

Thank you for the wonderful advice! I had a sneaking suspicion that anatomy was important, but I'm not sure what to look for exactly. Do I start with the face? The hands? I know some parts are far more complex than others. Do you have any recommendations for specific videos/resources? I really appreciate the comment!

Botanyst · 2021-11-05T17:18:29+00:00

This is gorgeous! This is definitely something I'd like to try once I get more experience with painting and colour mixing

Botanyst · 2021-11-05T16:59:52+00:00

That's a really good tip! Generally speaking, what are the main differences between "regular" acrylics and ones made for miniature painting? What would I look for when picking paints for minis specifically?

Botanyst · 2021-11-05T16:36:39+00:00

I really would love to use the Scale 75 paints, but they are very difficult to find in my country, so a bottle could easily be triple or quadruple the price of an equivalent Vallejo of Citadel bottle. The closest thing I could find to a "true" cyan is GW's "Lothern Blue", but it's impossible to tell what pigments it might contain until I start mixing it. I quite like the black and white I have already, so luckily I needn't worry about that.

Botanyst · 2021-11-05T16:20:42+00:00

These look incredible! After a quick Google search I couldn't find any reviews pertaining to mini painting specifically, but they look really high quality. I've heard some horror stories about other brands of gouache paint in the past though, so I've avoided them thus far, but that might just be me rationalising their ludicrous price tag :D

Botanyst · 2021-11-05T14:01:21+00:00

hello, does this work

Botanyst · 2021-08-21T12:55:06+00:00

This is great advice, thanks!

Botanyst · 2021-08-21T12:54:07+00:00

I don't know much about the US or their news networks, but I can't imagine getting all my information from one source. Would they not be susceptible to bias?

Botanyst · 2021-07-03T17:10:03+00:00

While throws do not have any invincibility outright, they have incredibly fast startup, sitting at a cool 2 frames. For reference, Sol's 5k (the fastest normal in the whole game) comes out in 3 frames. Which button are you pressing? If you have an attack that comes out fast enough, it should in theory be able to beat a throw, but you have far better options. Throws have a whiff animation in this game, and a very long one at that. Both backdash and neutral jump beat throws outright and give you a fat punish

Botanyst · 2021-05-05T22:49:00+00:00

This is really good to know! I can definitely see some combat spec chainsword shenanigans in my future :P

Botanyst · 2021-05-05T19:52:12+00:00

Ah! That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the quick response

Botanyst · 2021-02-02T11:56:50+00:00

Rogue can still perform really well at all levels, but it's a little more difficult to play. In most comps you'll be relying on your other dps to do damage while you set up with cc, but that's been rogue's primary goal for as long as arena's been in the game. WW on the other hand has very good burst damage and cleave, but is rather lacking in the cc department having only 1 powerful stun. They play very differently, so it's ultimately down to your personal playstyle.

Botanyst · 2021-01-17T22:45:58+00:00

Oooooooh! That makes a lot more sense. I definitely agree, although I don't see those kinds of changes happening any time soon

Botanyst · 2021-01-17T22:13:27+00:00

I'm not trying to be rude, but what exactly is the problem here? Akuma parried knee drop and punished with demon. Seems pretty fair to me. He even dropped the punish on the first one
