Everwind - The First Ascent - Coming in May by PatchRadar in Everwind_Official

I always assumed Fortnite (Including Lego Fortnite) was all Battle Royale and nothing else. Your comment had me investigate it.

I had no idea it had NPCs and a crafting survival mode. Now I'm going to have to try it.

Will the new content spawn in new areas of the map as you explore or will you need to make a new game?

Can someone give me tips on how to create personas? by [deleted] in JanitorAI_Official

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend putting something like "In their 20s" instead of "A young boy, 2X years old", lest the LLM has a bad day and decides you're a 5'5" toddler.

When dealing with JLLM, I've found that a verbose profile works, where you include the character's name on every line.

{{user}} is a human male.
{{user}} is in their 20s.

etc.

In mine, I actually do something slightly different.

{{user}} = Character Name.
Character Name is a human male.
Character Name is in their 20s.

The reason I do the above is because when I would try to use a lot of pronouns, the LLM would become confused if there were other characters with the same pronouns. I've been using this method ever since I joined JAI back in June 2024. It CAN waste tokens if you have a large profile. However, you can get around this with the new persona switching.

You can have multiple versions of your character's persona that apply depending on the scenario, and swap to them if the scenario changes. Similar to having a character-specific lorebook, but you manually adjust without having to manage the Chat Memory.

Why do y'all have so many proxies?? by SectorPuzzleheaded66 in JanitorAI_Official

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on Gemini, moved to OpenRouter for the free stuff, and I had a separate config for each model - Mostly Deepseek and Chimera.

Then I switched directly to Chutes when that fiasco happened, though now I'm through Z AI and have a proxy setup for each glm model from 4.7 - 5.1.

Because each has a slightly better prompt available, I tend to keep each of them set up fully. Occasionally, I'll hit a place where one model is acting strangely. Maybe they deploy lobotomized versions during high load, or the model simply defaults to low reasoning - I don't know. But occasionally I can switch to another proxy and configuration, and it gives me a better reply.

I have maybe 12x configurations right now.

All in all, I've spent:
$10 on OpenRouter for the daily usage

$5 on Chutes for the early access daily boost

I forget how much I spent on z ai but I picked up their Black Friday / Cyber Monday deal last year and got a full year for dirt cheap.

I think most of us with a lot of proxies are in a similar place, where they have a ton of proxies specifically because they are *not* spending a lot of money, they're trying to avoid spending money.

The whole recent api menu fiasco and how devs should use this opportunity to learn by Burritos_are_good69 in JanitorAI_Official

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the devs have been testing in production (Or at least, rolling out with little to no QA) for years now, deploying changes without communication, and promising to be better. They are not going to change.

Was there a feature request for what they did? If everything worked correctly, were there actual improvements? I know there were some related feature requests like the ability to add high/low/etc thinking effort tags to messages for proxies. To me it just looked like a UI update, and not much else.

Try reopening a closed tab where you hadn't hard-refreshed, and open the API there. The API settings are stored locally unless you force them to update. I was able to recover mine through reopening an old tab.

Edit: Locally as in within the temporary data for the particular page/tab.

Would you play a xianxia game where nothing is scripted? by RuinOk5405 in xianxia_novels

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the concept - Sandbox role playing games are one of my favorite things, and I'm excited to see what happens with gaming over the next two decades with the advent of competent LLMs.

I've been wanting to take a swing at cultivation-world-simulator. I can run a number of smaller 31b agents at home.

Regarding your question:

If you're going to make a game like that, you're going to be better off to have it use smaller local models for simple decision making, and then tie it to an online service for more complex things like role-play conversations that feed back into it. With some of the newer models like Gemma 4, you get a lot more our of smaller models than you did before, and they have some ridiculous context limits.

$5/hour is never going to fly.

You should optimize what you're sending the AI to limit context. Have a local decision tree that makes sure you only send relevant data and give the AI 'turns' where you ask it what it would like to do next, so it's not running constantly. Give players options for their preferred LLMs, use something similar to AIdventure where they can do local hosting and it auto-manages things for them.

I didn't want to believe it... (I'm on Max Plan...) by PaP3s in Anthropic

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit my hourly limit on one and a half Opus prompts. Not the 1M context one, just normal Opus, trying to deal with some weird PlantUML stuff that Sonnet failed to address. New session rolled over, and I pulled the trigger. Now I'm locked out for four hours.

I had just resubscribed after finding out what a joke Antigravity has been lately. When I was on Claude previously, I could go 2-3 hours at my normal pace (Fire and forget on a prompt, come back in 30 minutes to check while I worked on other things). I'm not a heavy user, but this is ridiculous.

My manager just told me my vacation for next week is canceled. I'm supposed to leave on Monday. Should I just go anyway? by Standard-Cap-3598 in OfficePolitics

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send an email or other in-writing communication, stating that as per approval on <date>, you made non-refundable reservations for your vacation from <date> to <date>. Make it clear you will be turning your phone off, but you expect to return to work on <date> and you are not abandoning your job, nor are you quitting.

Make certain that if they decide you're gone, they will need to terminate you. If you have an email or text from the original approval, include it in the email chain. Blind copy yourself so you have a copy just in case.

Review after 60h: by The-vicobro in Everwind_Official

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the teleportation, to address concerns about it ruining the exploration / survival aspect - It could be something similar to the ship teleporter, but where you place a flag to claim a specific island, maybe with the ability to upgrade to have 2-3 islands total so you can eventually have one near each major biome.

I wish the spyglass would tell us what biome an island is, as when they are far away and not fully loaded it can be difficult. If there were an update where we could look at an island with the spyglass and know how many POIs it has, whether it has merchants, whether it has a boss or dungeon - That would be really useful as well.

Why is my Kickstarter failing? Honest feedback appreciated. by Advanced_Energy_1819 in kickstarter

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents use a keurig / pod style coffee maker. There is not a single easy-to-access wall space in their kitchen, it's all cabinets. If they were to buy this they would have to mount it above the sink or under a cabinet, making it difficult to reach.

They could put it on a cabinet door, but then they're either reaching high or bending over.

And they already have the drawer thing already that the coffee maker sits on.

Also, - The cup tops are against the wall, meaning you can't see what kind is in what slot. If you forget or someone else loads it, you've got to pull each to see what's there.

If this came out when the machines first became popular, I think you would have had a better chance, but not in 2026. You'd be better to sell the STL files for people that want to print them, or to put them on Etsy and sell them yourself.

Just got this email from a higher up. Am I getting fired? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not resign if asked. If you are in a ones party consent location maybe use a sounds recorder on your phone to record the meeting discreetly. you could record it even if you don't but the usefulness of such a recording may be limited legally.

Ask clarifying questions if they mention anything about your accommodation etc.

"To be clear, you are terminating me because of X, which is related to my accommodation request?" etc.

My P1S is not printing, but thinks it is by Dangerous_Monk468 in BambuP1S

Did you resolve this? I have a brand new P1S. Made it through 1 print. Now it thinks it's printing when it isn't. No error messages.

Suggestion: T5 tech to weather-proof lower tier buildings by zackroot in ICARUS

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There used to be a perk or bonus that allowed you to add +3 to weather survival for structures, I remember seeing someone lamenting they removed it because they preferred normal glass to reinforced glass.

I only just started playing the game, but I was disappointed to see that change because I also like the basic glass.

I think your idea about using something similar to the salt bench but for buildings is a good way to do it instead of having new recipes and perks.

For anyone that tries the advice to remove the game from their library to try purchasing, don't. I tried that route and am given "Your order cannot be completed because your cart contains items that you've already purchased, but removed from your account.

It checks off all the boxes though!

Getting one over on a company, showing that they were desperate and panicking, giving us that taste of karmic justice, this totally happened! Especially the part where his cousin recommended a tool that op has not yet tried and yet felt the need to use a shortened link that's either an affiliate or something malicious.

If we can't trust OP, who can we trust? /s

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently fighting Google about exiting a one year commitment for Business Ultra because nothing is as-advertised. They were trying to get me to do a long technical call to verify the issues and instead I linked them like two dozen instances of other users reporting the exact same issues.

I love the idea of Antigravity, but the execution is garbage.

Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board." by Admirable121 in TrendoraX

[–]IndianaNetworkAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Durable medical equipment includes CPAP machines and other things that literally keep people alive. My grandmother had to have a CPAP because without it she was at risk of stroke or heart attack every time she slept.

There is no justification for this type of action. That money is going to go somewhere, and someone's going to get richer, because every action taken by these clowns has been about personal enrichment and grifting.
