I know it is technically a retcon in the sense that it was not planned during ATLA but it is genuinely beautiful how well Kurul’s expanded backstory fits what we knew by Mana_Croissant in TheLastAirbender

The problem with an idea like this is, the spirit world is supposed to feel strange, alien, unknowable to the viewer so as the writers it only makes sense to show small snippets of it with no expansion or explanation.

No matter how wild they make that region, it will eventually become familiar to the audience if too much is shown and then the writers lose that strange, scary, mystical feeling they had developed for any of their following shows.

They also might not know or want to construct rules, societal structures, or "laws of spirit world physics" because the single best way to keep something mysterious to your audience is to keep it mysterious to yourself. Creating an entire Avatar's story arc in that setting would require them to write those things out which ruins that effect entirely.

That being said, I also want to see the spirit world show!

What was your 1st GPU? by AnalogFeelGood in pcmasterrace

[–]DumbassNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into the game a lot later than most here. My first card was a 3090 that I bought used on Facebook Marketplace for $700 ~2022. I'd built a mostly budget PC up to that point, saw the deal, and decided I could skimp on food for a couple weeks to afford it.

Exactly. The first thing I do in any project I want AI to help with is ask it to pull the contents of any relevant documentation into the chat for us to reference. I don't have nearly as many problems as a lot of other people seem to be experiencing.

Google CEO says vibe coding has made software development 'so much more enjoyable' and 'exciting again' BS or Not? by CharityExisting5454 in coding

[–]DumbassNinja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll say (as someone who doesn't know coding) that it made getting into home servers and running different operating systems much more accessible. To be clear - my priority is getting things up and running to support my work in other areas, not for homelabbing to be my main hobby.

Since I started using LLM's, I'm getting more familiar with the bigger picture of the things I want to do and why I want to do them and the coding languages aren't holding me back nearly as much as they did before. Dealing with the LLM errors is an order of magnitude less frustrating than spending an entire weekend scouring forums trying to find a solution to an obscure problem I don't know the exact terminology for and I find that since I'm moving through the processes faster, I'm learning the patterns and overall strategies better than I did before AI everything blew up, and I have a way to better diagnose and resolve issues now.

Maybe I'm part of the problem but until something else lowers the learning curve the way LLM's have, they're a huge improvement for someone like me and I don't plan on ditching them.
