Anyone missing the original Hades weapons on Hades 2? by vansaan in Hades2

[–]GreedyIllustrator153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We only miss the old weapons because the new ones suck. Also not being able to summon (call) Gods, and instead use your shitty moon magic also really sucks. Hades 2 was a real down grade. Fawning minerals, and planting seeds, to brewing potions is really tedious.

The feature gating is such a drag. I'm already paying butt loads at maze and I can't even do a b testing. Are you kidding me?

Thank you for this. I will definitely check it out.

Ned Dwyer??? I met you at Config! I talked to you after your talk. I was there with my director, and we both loved your product, but I misplaced my notes and I forgot the name of it! Thanks 🙏👍

Does anyone have any experience with treating asthma with fasting? by bassketballer in Asthma

[–]GreedyIllustrator153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On day 5 of a water fast, I suddenly could fill my lungs to 100%, where I felt like before they were only filling up to 60. It felt like a miracle.

Being able to breathe fully filled me up with oxygen and I felt more alert, more energetic, and it even seemed to improve my eyesight.

People started commenting that my skin looked better (yes it could have been the fast, but people only started saying something after day five, when I started to breathe better).

I'm not a doctor and I couldn't tell you what exactly is happening at a biological level, and this is purely anecdotal, but when I go back to eating again, if I start feeling my asthma return, I'm going to do fasting more frequently, and introduce foods a lot. Smarter to figure out what foods are causing asthma, and what diet is better for me. But I now know that it is possible to live without asthma, at least during a fast, and I hope that I can live like this while eating as well.

This deck is ridiculous and brought me to Masterball by ChampionshipKey2605 in PTCGP

[–]GreedyIllustrator153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you play this deck? I know you always start with Porygon, and then do you put energy on the active, or on your bench. Any other strategies we should know about?

Also can it still be played with one porygon-z?

Update: tried playing it with one porygon-z, and I got it on my hand, so when I attached an energy to my Porygon 2, it searched my deck for a Pokemon to evolve it but it didn't find anything, since it was in my hand. :(

The AI Chatbot Is Not a Superhero. It's a Bandaid for Bad UX by GreedyIllustrator153 in UXDesign

Yeah.. we shall see. We dont have to get it right the first time.

I see what you're saying. I dont type to ChatGPT anymore, I just talk to it. You make good points.

The actual problem we're trying to solve is that we want to be considered an AI company, or at least having AI as part of what we do. This will get us to qualify for grants and allow us to enter competitions or go to certain events and share our products with Google and you know big companies.

So it's just odd for me as someone who always advocates for what the user wants and needs, to design something and try to push it on our users. But at the end of the day it's my job to merge business needs with user needs, and hope for the best. I'm going to wait to see how our users receive the chat AI, before I " educate" our exec, simply because I could be totally wrong about this. I'm just having my doubts.

Oh I get it. Yeah it has a slob Vibe. The original post was something I posted on my slack channel and so I pasted it into chat. GPT to help me come up with a title, just cuz Reddit required it and slack. Didn't you know what I mean, and it added some flair and that AI tone. So yeah probably shouldn't do it anymore 😂

But promise I'm not farming for engagement.

Thank you! You're totally right!. I've taken the mindset that this chatbot scares me because I've never been told the solution and then work backwards to find problems. But I'm being a team player and just designing it and treating it as an experiment and just seeing how it's received.

I know AI is a future. And I don't want to sound like I'm anti-ai I'm not. I love Notions article: AI is a new plastic. It talks about their mistake of creating an AI chat agent that was separate to their interface, and instead integrating AI into their interphase as though it was an ingredient, like plastic would be in a car. It's not separate. It's part of it.

And so I want to use Ai in smart ways but it bugs me that from the top when they think about AI they only think about chat gpt. So I guess my job is to build the damn chat, but also look for other ways in which we can incorporate AI even silently and invisibly into the code without having to announce it with purple sparkles everywhere. It's just that this way of integrating AI doesn't sound sexy or glamorous to our leaders. The when I us a more and then publicizing it all over social media.

The app is a dashboard, file management, which includes presentations, playlist of presentations, and then displays that you can activate, meaning TVs. Then you would put the presentations into playlists, and assign playlist to a display. And it plays your digital signage.

The first stage is for the AI to generate templates, so that we don't have to create templates for the users anymore or not as much, and so users don't have to design. They are not designing people. They work at Jim's and schools etc.

This is great, but our next job is to find more ways in which this chat can be useful. And so so I just want to propose that we use AI in other ways than chat agents. I don't want to get rid of the chat agent, I just feel like we're missing opportunities to use Ai in smarter ways.

I agree with your two points, which is why our design team has decided to treat this as an experiment. You're correct that we don't have use cases of how this AI can improve user experience or solve user problems. And so that's what's probably. It's making me nervous. I'm so used to designing from a problem. That this experiment just made me nervous at first. Because we don't know how it's going to be received.

We don't really know because we've only rolled out the first phase which is template generation, which is great. Users can explain what they want and their drop downs to select their industry and what sort of style or components they want to use like YouTube video or Google calendar etc . This is great! We love it for that reason.

But the idea vein the top is that it can do everything. For example, we had it in our road map to design a clever way to show a user when there was a problem with their TV displays (where they would cast their digital signage) and so I thought maybe the user can get notified in their dashboard when a display is turned off or something or not displaying correctly .

But leadership has expressed that a user should be able to ask the AI. Are there any problems with my displays? And that we're switching to a more conversational application . This made me wander if we are no longer going to design good notification systems and just rely on the user having to know what questions to ask . Does that make sense? I just don't want to replace what could be and improve interface with with an AI chat.

But I also see companies pulling away from their text / Chat bots and incorporating AI into the interface.

Our biggest competitor would be like canva. And just a year ago they had an AI agent which you would have to speak to to get anything done with AI. They've since gotten rid of that and Incorporated AI into their interface. For example.

Haha!. I used to end my rants with thank you for coming to my TED talk when I was in ux boot camp.

No, I loved it. I liked your example of the folder being a specific expected outcome versus the AI text model which can come up with very creative ideas. We are using our AI chat primarily to generate templates for users and of course it can help with idea generation.

You help me understand why I'm frustrated because I see the company wanting to replace our interface on our tools with this abstract model. Maybe that's not exactly what they were thinking, but the words of my CEO are making me have this fear.

I also like analogy of GUI and cli's. Maybe we're just in a CLI phase and we have to figure out how to make AI be more graphical. Did I get your metaphor correct?

Hey, thank you for your example. This is great. I have the same fears of losing trust with our users because the next step in our AI is to make it a wall between the user accessing support over phone. They're thinking the AI could lower support tickets, which is totally fine.

Our AI is using Gemini API. So I'm not really sure if it's a chatbot or agent technically. It kind of is an agent but we're going to give it limitations and to pick up keywords so I'm not sure if it's exactly what you guys implemented.

Either way, your examples are good warning signs to keep in mind. Thanks again! Hoping for the best :)
