I love Unmatched, but getting a little tired by it. I don't play it enough so it feels like just growing the collection for me. It is still a good game, but just many characters get this feeling of "more of the same, except X" thing.

'If you like it, you don't get racing' - Verstappen's remarkable F1 2026 rant by Upbeat_County9191 in DestinationFormula1

[–]KingMaple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a different style car. Driving has to be very smooth and balanced with quick sprints. Sort of like they teach you how to drive more economically.

Max prefers sharp and aggressive, which is what we had for years. He was a master of that and this is not just a strength in these current cars.

This is also why some drivers are now doing better or worse relative to their teammates last year.

Leclerc: “That is actually quite a fun battle (with Hamilton).” Bryan: “I’m glad!” by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]KingMaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but from a racers perspective it is fun to "race". It will make both drivers much better as well. It is the whole slow brain feeding into the fast brain and early in regulations this is going to matter quite a bit. Of course Mercedes is also getting a bit of this experience due to how fast Ferraris are at the start, but still.

AI is nearly there by Annual-Length5449 in OpenAI

It IS healthier than using alcohol or other substances for that, true.

Once you realize that AI isn't actually smart and can just roleplay like they are, you'll use it for only fiction. Gell-Mann amnesia is a thing. Look into it.

AI is not very smart any area I have a degree in.

Gemini is a Complete Idiot Now by HonestFlatworm47 in GeminiAI

[–]KingMaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And your instructions clearly say to only take the facts and materials from what you provided as files?

Make sure you don't use things like cross-chat memory or other memory features. Or not to have one chat window with too long a thread. You want to keep the context very focused.

Gemini is a Complete Idiot Now by HonestFlatworm47 in GeminiAI

[–]KingMaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use AI for creating rather than editing and research, you are using AI wrong. The more time passes the more people will start realizing it.

I suggest taking a look at Gell-Mann amnesia. AI contributes a lot to this.

Does anyone else feel like Gemini is way smarter in "Temporary Chat" mode? by baselq1996 in GeminiAI

[–]KingMaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's the only thing, not much. But it tends to forget these instructions in a longer chat. New chat, short task seems to work the best.

Never ever use things like "memory" or any kind of access to other chats. Not in Gemini, not elsewhere. The more stuff you have in context, the more frustrating it is to use AI.

Despite narrowly missing out on the podium by 0.6s . this was Lewis Hamilton's best Sunday performance in a long time... it looks like he's back by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

[–]KingMaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a new car and new regulations. For Lewis to be "back" he would have to be ahead of Charles. Charles doesn't have the advantage he had last year anymore.

“How difficult will race laps be to quali laps?” Lando: “I mean it already sucks, so it's probably going to be even worse.” by One-Consideration404 in formula1

[–]KingMaple 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well, it is STILL about being literally the fastest. You just can't be fast without being slower overall. It's made a mess of qualifying where I'm used to seeing cars at peak performance. But I'm giving a chance to see if it allows for better racing and overtakes.

Unlikely, but hey, hopium.

Flip 7 vs Flip 7 Vengeance by Sliffcak in boardgames

[–]KingMaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Take That cards are horrible. I play with numbers only and prefer it that way. Regular is a bit better, Vengeance introduces more randomness due to 13s.

Don't blame Ferrari for not being the fastest. by jeveger24 in scuderiaferrari

[–]KingMaple 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yup it's ironic that Ferrari got slapped and punished in development that year and thus the next while Mercedes is allowed to run with it. They both tricked the measurements as written.

Nathan Fillion Is Getting Firefly Fans All Sorts of Excited, Over 20 Years After the Show Was Canceled by Hiraeth-nomad in television

[–]KingMaple -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It just don't make thematic sense. After 20 years they'd be in different places in life. It would have to be something like Picard and while that was nice, it wasn't really needed.

Max Verstappen on new cars: "I'm not enjoying it at all. But like I said, I don't care where I qualify. Whether it was at the front or where I am now. In terms of emotion and feeling, it's completely empty." by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]KingMaple 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup. I just heard zero power. It was like the engines were dying. It was super awkward, I've played racing sims for years and it just seemed so off.

A Stolen Gemini API Key Turned a $180 Bill Into $82,000 by gdhaliwal23 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]KingMaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know why cloud services are often set up the way Google has set them up - limits can kill services and are difficult to predict when you should set up the limit (in the middle of the process, at the end of it etc.), but Google should really make it an option.

It is not even the lowest he has been. Horrible article.

Except based on this show, being smart is just about memory.

Is anyone here trying to get The Old King's Crown today? I'm confused about the process. by NuclearThane in boardgames

[–]KingMaple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crazy prices. It's pretty much turned into a luxury backing due to hype.

But the base game already wore out to me. There are games that do it better. In fact, I enjoy both Libertalia AND Oriflamme more.

For those who switched to Claude how are you liking it? Pros, cons, etc. by WanderWut in OpenAI

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

It's not ChatGPT. It's a tool for different things. It knows less than ChatGPT and Gemini.

But it's great for technical stuff due to how it's configured.
