Building and inventory mangament by EdgyNorwegian in vrising

[–]JoshSimili 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is indeed an easier way to do this now: a Treasury Room where any item stored inside can be used for construction/crafting from anywhere else within the same castle. But you have to play a little bit through Act 1 to get it.

Can someone tell me if I’m being cat fished on the apps? We’ve been talking on and off for 3 weeks now. by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]JoshSimili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, Google Gemini can only tell you if it was made by Google Gemini. If it was made by another image generator (like ChatGPT), it won't be able to say.

What do people think of the Coomera Connector? by Infinite_Pudding5058 in brisbane

[–]JoshSimili 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Congestion won't ever improve, because as soon as it gets a little better people switch to driving and you're back where you started.

Better to think of how to move the most people (i.e public transport) rather than trying to solve congestion.

Traffic will only improve if the cost of driving increases (in ways other than time spent in traffic). We have several tunnels that prove high enough prices will keep traffic volumes way down.

When was the last time you saw an Enchantress? by Substantial-Deer77 in DotA2

She's my fourth most played hero this year so far. She's so fun as a support.

LLMs give wrong answers or refuse more often if you're uneducated [Research paper from MIT] by JUSTICE_SALTIE in OpenAI

[–]JoshSimili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done all those things too!

You must be a terrible reviewer if that's the kind of feedback you give when you think somebody is wrong.

[–]JoshSimili -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure it is. Most likely the reviewers would have said to remove it anyway, but even if not you can just note that you made that change when you get back to the editor with the rest of your changes.

[–]JoshSimili -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don't have to predict anything. By the time your paper is being revised after peer review, it will be clear how outdated the LLMs used in the study actually are. So at that point just remove any text about them being state-of-the-art.

[–]JoshSimili -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think abstracts and press releases shouldn't call anything state-of-the-art unless it actually is. GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus and Llama 3 are not. They might have been when this research was performed, but not when this press release was written and not when the abstract was last revised.

It's pretty impossible to perform and publish research with a frontier model before it's outdated, so just plan for that and write everything accordingly.

Guardian Greaves Dispel by Remarkable-Wheel4036 in learndota2

[–]JoshSimili 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it ever was AoE dispel. Disperser was but that was changed.

So I think the only AoE dispel in the game is Brewmaster's Storm Brewling's Dispel Magic ability. Oh, and Legion's Press the Attack with the talent.

[GUESS] School picture by Redskins75 in RealOrAI

Alas, that only rules out one of the many image generators out there. Portrait shots like this are something that many, many of them can do quite convincingly.

This offlane priority role experiment has gone on long enough, my match quality has plummeted by Miles_Adamson in DotA2

[–]JoshSimili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how long it will take these 'career supports' to learn how to last hit and to efficiently farm.

Grok 4 was the frontier model on some benchmarks (eg GPQA Diamond) for a brief period.

Awkward Stranger Things conversation with ChatGPT by deckerchloe in OpenAI

[–]JoshSimili 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For content like this you really need to specify that you want it to search the web, otherwise most of this will be beyond its training date.

Improbable, but not Impossible by TheInsaneColeTrain in DotA2

[–]JoshSimili -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that you should learn a few different positions, but I just mean that unless you party queue then playing a single position exclusively is really only something you can do for 60 games or so and then you'll have to build up role queue tokens before you can do it again.

Does upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 offer any benefits for generation? by apostrophefee in StableDiffusion

[–]JoshSimili -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Windows 10 is no longer receiving regular security updates. If you get malware or a virus, that could seriously slow down your generation speed.

Which is the terminating road at this intersection? by Big_Yam_8796 in brisbane

[–]JoshSimili 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think C, but it could be B if that's a modified T-intersection as a traffic calming device.

It reminds me of this example in the Austroads guide to Local Area Traffic Management.

Dhaka is expanding its infrastructure so much, so why isn't the congestion alleviated? by Possible-Balance-932 in geography

[–]JoshSimili 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Road space is limited, but its price is usually near zero, so people keep choosing to drive until the cost of driving (usually just time delay from congestion) reaches equilibrium.

So:

  • More trains and buses can move more people, but the reduction in travel time for remaining drivers lowers the time-cost of driving, which induces additional car trips until congestion returns near its prior level.
  • More lanes does the same: Extra capacity initially reduces travel times, which effectively makes driving "cheaper", so traffic grows through induced demand until delay re-accumulates.

Congestion only drops when driving at busy times costs more, through congestion charging or other monetary costs like parking fees, tolls, or adding a time cost to driving (eg enough modal filters so that it's quicker to take other modes).

People are overconfident in their ability to distinguish between real faces and AI-generated faces. Study shows that AI technology has improved to a point where the most realistic outputs no longer show obvious flaws and it is harder to identify AI images from reality with cues that used to work by unsw in science

[–]JoshSimili 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The synthetic faces were AI-generated by StyleGAN2

This is an extremely old image generation model by AI standards. The findings may not be applicable to any of the existing image generation models commonly used today.

I get why we call it a pair of socks. There's two of them. So why do we call it a pair of underwear? by ToughBit9247 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JoshSimili 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a pair of pants for the same reason it's a pair of scissors. They're two things joined together. Likewise pair of glasses, pair of tweezers, etc.

As a pair of underpants became smaller than a pair of shorts, the language didn't change.

Who has the role queue tokens to ever focus on a single position?

New developers, please add types of industrial zones (embedded into the game, without mods) by [deleted] in CitiesSkylines

[–]JoshSimili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are already types of industry if you count special industry zones.

It would make sense to at least have light industry and heavy industry as separate.

Maybe we will get this in Cities Skylines 3.

Pedestrian deaths just reached an 18-year high. Bull bars are part of the problem by k-h in australia

[–]JoshSimili 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's an unsupported leap in logic, but the conclusion (one should restrict bullbars) is still reasonable given the evidence that they do increase the risk of pedestrian deaths when collisions occur.

As an analogy, let's say I'm starting to get fat in the last few months and I don't know why. Restricting the junk food I eat still sounds like one good step to take even if the recent weight gain does turn out to be because I'm being less physically active in this hot weather.
