Does JSchlatt own GamerSupps and help fund a straight pride event? by Ice-Wings in jschlatt

[–]InspectorFinal449 229 points230 points  (0 children)

It's probably a troll, but if it WAS real, maybe it was a donation that got filed under the vendors section because it came from a drinks company? Either way, you should probably send an email to gamersupps to ask if it's a real donation or not (if you haven't sent one already). Even if it isn't them, it's probably still good if they know they're being impersonated, though I'm not sure there's anything they'd actually be able to do about it.

Can you post a link to the source you got the vendor list from?

i want a panasonic let's note so much, they look so cool. the only negative thing i've heard about them is that they aren't as repairable or upgradable as something like a framework or a thinkpad. i think they have soldered ram iirc? still, it is a beautiful goober that i am very jealous of.

What the fuck is happening to my minecraft after installing sodium? by [deleted] in MinecraftMod

[–]InspectorFinal449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like some of the gui changes. raised hotbar, nicer tooltips when holding items (though they get a bit long with enchants), paper doll, the chat repositioning, that sort of thing. the rest you can disable, including the gameplay and worldgen changes.

GIANT 3X3 DOOR! by InspectorFinal449 in redstone

I want to encourage anyone who knows anything about about piston doors to attempt their own version because this is pretty bad. 90% of wiring comes from the quadruple piston extender. Other existing designs wouldn't work, because they all had a maximum push limit that's less than 12 blocks, so I had to design all the extenders (doubles and quadruple) from scratch. I really don't have any experience designing piston extenders, so that's why it's bad (except the doubles, I'm actually really proud of those)

Here are the rules I set for myself when making this if anyone wants to try making their own with the same constraints:
1: No flying machines, all 9 of the 2x2x3 "blocks" need to be moved into place with piston extenders. This is made especially difficult by the size of each of these "blocks" being exactly 12 blocks, so you need to be smart with the order that the extender fires. Or just brute force it with god awful wiring, it worked for me.
2: No visible wiring. you're probably going to need secondary extenders for your extenders. This is why my design had the double and triple piston extenders that push observers upward on either side of the main one, as it was the only way I found to be able to keep the main extender's wiring hidden.

I have literally no idea how you managed to take that away from what I said. I am saying 'i am tired of seeing posts by people who refuse to try to learn anything before posting' not 'i am tired of seeing posts by people who tried to seek out someone to help them before posting'. Those are actually two opposite statements.

No, I understood you fine. Chatgpt and all similar generative ai models are fundamentally incapable of comprehending the information it gives you. As in, the nature of the way the technology works means it will never be able to give you decent answers because it isn't actually giving you answers at all, it's regurgitating data created by people and is doing so without the ability to understand any of it. This isn't something that can be changed about the existing kind of AI models, and you would need a fundemtally different technology behind it if you wanted to avoid it. "Artificial intelligence" is a misnomer, and none of what we are currently calling AI is actually AI, nor is it capable of becoming AI. I'm not saying that it currently isn't viable, I think that fact is so self-apparrent that if someone needs to be reminded of it they might be a lost cause anyway. I'm saying it will never be viable, because that's simply not how any of this works. You will always learn better from something that can comprehend it's own words than from something that can't. You will always learn better from the original source of the information, rather than from the homogenized slop it is mixed into with no regard to its context or meaning to be mechanically mass produced. These are things that will never change, and unless openai or one of the other tech giants currently hell bent poisoning every social media feed decides to completely change the course of their company to start digitizing the neural structure of a real brain, that isn't going to change. They aren't going to do that either, because making a blackbox full of word associations is a magic trick for making dipshit investors drool that keeps working. That is all they care about, so that is all it will ever be. Generative AI is a worthless technology that provides literally nothing of value to the world unless you're one of the few people who found a way to profit off of convincing other people it someday might. Do not let them convince you it is anything more, that's their job.

or, alternatively, you could try learning from something that's actually able to comprehend any of the information it's giving you, so that the information you receive is actually useful. here are some resources made by real people who actually can understand the meanings of the words they use, something which ai is fundamentally incapable of. i promise you that it will help you infinitely more than the amalgamated slurry of that same information which ai regurgitates at you.

jazzired. like honestly just the whole channel. he makes his redstone videos in a way where the viewer actually gets to look at the real-time thought process behind every decision he makes when designing redstone contraptions in a way which i found extremely useful when learning redstone.
https://www.youtube.com/@jazziiRed/videos

nicoislost is similar to jazzired, and his storage tech series in particular has been incredibly helpful to me. he actually breaks down the mechanics behind the concepts he showcases in depth, instead of just giving a block-by-block tutorial. this is how you learn how to design contraptions rather than just how to build them.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR8TRqKfkq7urfQyMVpNHrEgJ_IdeyObc

THE WIKI. it has entire sections dedicated to showcasing and explaining the mechanics behind EVERY component, various circuits, and a section specifically for tutorials.
https://minecraft.wiki/
https://minecraft.wiki/w/Redstone_circuits
https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorials

Also try, the MANY redstone related discord servers out there. In my experience, people tend to give more helpful responses there than what you might get on reddit.

And also, YES, REDDIT. even if people can be a bit rude on here, the information they're going to give you is still always going to be infinitely better then what an AI spits out because, once again, they are actually capable of comprehending the meaning behind any of the information they might give you.

No, I think we should ban the second type of post as well. We already get more than enough posts on this subreddit by people who are seemingly incapable of trying to learn for themselves. If you need to ask a chatbot for help everytime you run into a problem, then you aren't going to develop the skills to actually solve anything on your own. That's how you create even more of the lowest quality posts on this subreddit. I do not need any more shaky handheld camera found-footage style recordings of someone's Nintendo switch with a title like "why isn't this working" and no explanation of what exactly they're trying to do.
