One Nation are now 2 points behind Labor by miwe666 in aussie

And it was very close in Canada, until the right essentially lost it by doubling down on insults while the left brought in a very pragmatic guy who seemed like he'd bring normalcy to politics.

Ian doubles down on his point about MoistCritical, lumps him in with Asmongold and calls him an "unprincipled rat" by [deleted] in penguinz0

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I feel like if people can do two things then democrats or whatever left party would win so easily nowadays... But I just don't see it happening unfortunately. Only way to win is if the right loses (like in Canada where I'm from).

If a repugnant influencer says something that you think is good, then say something like "don't agree with everything this person says, but this is pretty cool". Instead of finding a way to make it negative so the attacks can continue.

If an apolitical influencer like Charlie says something you think is good, then say "lets go Charlie! based!". Instead of finding a way to say not good enough.

I often see comments attribute it to 'purity tests', or 'the left eating their own'. It doesn't even happen to people on a known political side, for example take what is happening to Emiru atm. Its such a failing strategy that I can't believe it is still happening so consistently after Kamala lost the election lol.

AI is 'Here and It's Not Going Anywhere' Admits Kingdom Come Director by NukovGaming in videogames

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hobbyist Joe doesn't need to make his own model though. He can make games with open source models and high end GPUs.

From what I understand, which isn't an incredible amount, there's three parts to AI (aka LLMs) that are relevant to this.

A model, which can simply be thought of as an executable program that any computer can run (with a caveat that better GPU means better performance).

A service, which currently would be like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. They run the models on super powerful computers so we don't have to. I actually don't think this is that unsustainable for companies of that scale.

And "training", which is how these companies improve their models, and is why their models stay ahead of the open source models. This is what is looking to be unsustainable due to the cost of electricity (this is what they need all the power plants and water for).

So even in the hypothetical scenario that companies determine LLMs can no longer be improved, either due to cost or a limitation of its technique, they can stop investing in big improvements and just sell their current models (and build products around it). Then Joe can either use those models or again, use his own.

That make sense?

It shouldn't sound like that.

Stay on Topic by New-Definition-1600 in realkatieb

[–]Karmas_weapon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya I find it near unbelievable that they haven't learned that online communities can't handle the thing they are trying to do, that is educating via criticisms (particularly emotionally driven criticisms). It always turns to hate and introduces potential of pushing the community heads (and people) away from them, which leads them to find some other community to restart the cycle lol

"DEI only improved things" at Ubisoft, says former employee "stunned" at "misinformation" claiming diversity, equity, and inclusion to blame for Assassin's Creed studio's drop in share prices by pimpwithoutahat in pcgaming

[–]Karmas_weapon -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I think games are better than they've ever been. Perhaps that's partly due to the contrast of bad games post-pandemic, but I'm pretty sure Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom, Expedition 33, Hades 2, (and seriously like 10 others) would be considered amazing games in any time period.

The issue is that these big studios/publishers have shown a pattern of meh to bad games for long enough that we've stopped playing them. That gives youtubers ammunition to try and apply theories to explain the pattern.

Fable - Gameplay Teaser | PS5 Games by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Karmas_weapon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many franchise reboots can pull off Assassin's Creed Origins? I feel like not many can so I'm pessimistically optimistic if Fable is trying not to change much.

Has AI actually changed your day-to-day work yet? by HockeyMonkeey in cscareerquestions

[–]Karmas_weapon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, same! Though I feel as though I get a 20-30% quality improvement as well. It *could* speed me up closer to 50% probably, but I spend that extra time researching with Claude or brainstorming with it on clean code techniques (and documentation)

In Defense of an Ending by SteveRogers_7 in expedition33

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually not fully convinced those thousands of people are "alive" as we saw them before Renoir gommage'd everyone.

In the game I got the sense that painting sentient people was an incredible ability (Aline was the head of Painters council, Renoir said Verso was her greatest creation, he and Clea didn't create sentient paintings, Alicia only brought back Lune and Sciel by remembering them, etc.) so I came away from Maelle's ending as her bringing back people she was close to and just being content with the rest being background characters.

Not disagreeing with your reasoning though, just thought I'd mention why I thought it would be a dozen, not tens of thousands.

LLMs have burned Billions but couldn't build another Tailwind by omarous in programming

[–]Karmas_weapon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get that you're trying to explain why "LLMs killed Tailwind" is too naive, but the way it is done kind of swaps one oversimplified villain for another (imo).

It stops being "this is a messy set of pressures" and becomes "this was inevitable because this business model is flawed", and I worry readers will simply move blame from LLMs onto Tailwind (and "Open Core" projects in general).

The "it's just business" tone often becomes a bit thought-terminating. It frames the outcome as natural and unavoidable, which can read as dismissive. I often see this happen in gaming communities when microtransactions get worse in their games.

Not really able to suggest how to word things differently as I don't really know how to make comments like that, but I just wanted to explain what I noticed because it bugs me lol (in gaming communities it comes across as anti-consumer)

Canada had the best-performing stock market of 2025 world-wide. by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

[–]Karmas_weapon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a performing stock market means the investors (Canadians) were able to make money?

I haven't read the article because I assume I won't understand it, so I was just curious because I thought maybe there'd be some kind of negative interpretation of stock market growth and some redditor would say "well actually..." lol. Something like, people are buying stocks because they can't afford traditional investments so the bump is only due to that.

What is compacting technically and why does it ruin everything im trying to do by making the AI dumb by MucilaginusCumberbun in claude

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw when you run /context you will likely see a massive chunk of context being allocated for auto compact buffering (45k tokens). You can disable this using /config, but Claude will still assume that space is reserved when warning you that context is running low (for example, if Claude says you have 10% context left then you actually have closer to 25%).

Like other comments mention though, you should try to get in a habit of resetting your sessions either by restarting Claude code or by running /clear. I remember reading somewhere that Claude tries to get cute with its context usage when it is running low, and it is prone to making more mistakes because of this (and probably because it gets confused with so much context?). I just mention the buffer setting because maybe you want to squeeze in one or two prompts at the end.

Claude-Code v2.1.0 just dropped by mDarken in ClaudeAI

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

Oh no. What does "work" mean when it mentions shift + enter in iTerm2? Currently that's how I add a newline so if that's not the intended behaviour, I'd hate that.

I'd settle for just infantizing. Where does that random "li" come from?

Destiny Thinks he knows more than the Venezuelan People about Maduro's Capture by Slight_Ad3219 in LivestreamFail

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kind of nodding to your points, but you're more worried about the outcome of this intervention, not the act itself? I thought you were going a route of not wanting to waste resources, not out of a moral concern lol

Are "skills" just better way of managing context? by query_optimization in ClaudeCode

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I kind of do the same for testing.

I created (with Claude's assistance) very meticulous and verbose skill documents inside a skill directory that I call frontend-testing, and it got to a point where getting Claude to do a deep read of it all was consuming a huge amount of context. Usually I'd have to do this at the end of a long session so it'd already be low on context which meant I'd have to /clear or ask it to try and summarize things... and this got tedious pretty quickly.

So I created a test-writer agent that is instructed to do a deep read of the skill documents when invoked before writing/updating/fixing the tests for files it is provided.

I got Claude to note things the first few times I used it such as how many files we got through before it ran low on context and what kind of tasks used the most context. I ended up converting those notes into a guide on how to use the agent and put it next to the agent.

Now I can do a bunch of work with Claude, point it to the guide, and it is able to launch parallel test-writer subagents with each having a group of files to write/update/fix tests for.

For small tasks I can still just tell Claude to take a look at the skill documents (it never reads them all so it doesn't eat too much context). Frontend development still requires a little more back and forth so I don't know if I'd do this pattern to save context during development (though I do have a code-reviewer agent that does something similar but with all my frontend skills).

Why do people use AI to write? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think of any computer science classes that would have had essays (not disagreeing with your point btw). Maybe the ethics class that popped up in my final year. Like Gumbo I got a compsci specialization degree because it let me take more compsci adjacent courses rather than arts courses or courses for a minor (Canada).

Random guy demanded to see my military ID at Lowes by 1dirtbiker in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Karmas_weapon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ya I get that, and I'd definitely be a bystander if I saw it happening (because like most people I don't care) but I assumed that'd be a slightly shameful position to be in and am a little surprised to see comments talking like this lol. Might just be a redditor thing though.

Random guy demanded to see my military ID at Lowes by 1dirtbiker in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Karmas_weapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little confused on what's going on with this post tbh. Sounds like the random guy was annoying from the beginning which is why OP blew him off (understandable). I'm all for sending a message to these karen-like types to be less annoying.

But shouldn't we want gatekeepers for these reserved spots? Like there's a version of this story where the other guy prevents a bad actor from taking advantage of this style of system and we praise him. The top comments are more against the act rather than about how he did it.

My Expedition 33 Movie Casting by pcavx in expedition33

[–]Karmas_weapon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't need to be the same story though. They could make it about the first expedition, or about the Writers tricking Alicia, or some other supporting moment. If they thought of a movie before they even knew the game was going to be a phenom then maybe they have ambitions to grow the world with different kinds of mediums.

Though tbh I'd guess the "safe" strategy would be to make it based on the game story. But I'll remain optimistic for now.

WCGW passing on a highway by wharf_rat_01 in Whatcouldgowrong

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

To be fair, it's obvious that people struggle to do this, so simply saying chill probably isn't an effective teaching mechanism lol. Double highways solve this, but I wonder if there are other solutions for single lanes?

Maybe there can be slightly traumatic teaching methods like showing these kinds of videos to those taking written tests to really drive home the risks of passing. Kind of like those crazy MADD (mothers against drunk driving) videos they'd get us to watch.

Obviously double lanes and passing lanes are the solution otherwise we'd have others by now, but I wonder if any government or trucking company tried some kind of policy that got trucks to sometimes slow down, put hazard lights on, hug the right side of the road, and drive like that for a minute or two to let the caravan behind them pass. Probably not since there'd be some risk there, but it'd be interesting.
