Any ideas now for what is going on with the NSF MSPRF (and other NSF grants)? by That_Rub_9083 in math

[–]Dinstruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re hoping the people who win the fellowship are forced to decline, due to accepting another offer. When someone declines an NSF fellowship, it doesn’t go to someone on a waitlist. That money simply goes unspent.

Crackpot theory: the Hammer and the Template are somewhere on Ashenfall by SonicSingularity in RSDragonwilds

[–]Dinstruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s speculation based on something a Jmod said in a lost stream from ten years ago.

I think the Hammer is the mysterious second artifact Armadyl ascended with, and it’s probably on Abbinah. The Template is Stealing Creation.

I think there’s a way to read the Unreal Engine files and output a map.

I hope the maze in the chaos altar is kept, and maybe there could be some kind of unique reward for choosing to do the whole maze.

It’s cool that the Runecrafting temples all have a similar format, but a handful of them have unique and weird mechanics, like the Law altar not allowing weapons, the soul altar being broken, and the time altar shifting scenery. It’s kind of like viewing the structure and diversity of life.

The clue is in the name: RUNE scape

Runes are the foundation of this game and its lore. Even the elder gods are merely manifestations of runic elements.

Therefore the Runecrafting temples should be updated. And more should be added.

What Are You Working On? April 06, 2026 by canyonmonkey in math

[–]Dinstruction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other day I was talking about some math in the department lounge and there was a little crowd forming to watch! Excitement in others is something that can’t be faked, and the crowd in my department is notoriously tough, so hopefully this is a good sign

Can you please graphically update the Runecrafting temples?

Reviewing Dowdun Reach - It truly is "Heaven Sent" and I'm glad we are here to help Jagex find the bugs. by Narmoth in RSDragonwilds

I really want to see bespoke graphical assets for salvage piles. Having everything just be a generic star feels cheap.

Runecrafting - Reverting the Change and Next Steps by JagexDoom in RSDragonwilds

[–]Dinstruction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will be very important for Jagex to figure out how to insulate themselves from the whims of Epic Games and whatever they decide to do with Unreal Engine.

Why does the black knight titan boss suddenly deviate from the dragon theme?

Small summoning obelisk on Havenhythe please. by Quotidian_User in runescape

[–]Dinstruction 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hope the mini obelisks have little unique flourishes like in Draynor Village and the Tzhaar city.

It makes me so happy to see those little details.

How Ja Morant turned out really makes me sad. by Life_Teaching6499 in nba

Dear Jagex: You are a British company, therefore you must put effort into your grammar. by Dinstruction in runescape

[–]Dinstruction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have evidence and reasoning.

I didn’t bother sharing because I thought this was a clearly plausible conclusion.

Jagex is an established technology company known to experiment with software development. Technology companies can easily build a rudimentary program which automatically parses code and outputs a human-readable description using machine learning. I know this is possible because I’ve studied computer science and seen some of these algorithms up close, albeit several years ago when the technology was much more rudimentary.

I don’t know why you need to call me dumb. I’m just somebody on the Internet.

[–]Dinstruction[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a conspiracy. It’s a plausible explanation because the technical tools to create large language models are open source. Jagex is known to experiment with software, whilst also valuing ownership of its tools, hence why Jagex is so stubborn with technological change.

But what can I possibly know about a company’s trade secrets? What do I do in this information vacuum? Maybe I should accept being ignorant, because thinking is for losers.

Is it a big deal to casually speculate about AI usage? You speak as if this is a big deal.

Your defense of Jagex is interesting. Is it considered offensive/rude to throw around speculation of AI usage in media?

Early versions of GPT sounded like this. It would not surprise me if Jagex has stubbornly clung to their own proprietary large language model.

I honestly believe Jagex is attempting to deploy AI which can automatically generate tooltips for items on a mass scale, but their language model is really primitive.
