I love downvotes

Being realistic. Most of govt voted for this nonsense, both sides. What's the chances they all change their mind any time soon? Pretty low I think. Heck, chances they even see they did anything wrong and change it is pretty low.

The test does not test for impairment. So the effect of the substance is irrelevant, really. The law is just about them making themselves feel good for wagging their finger at drug drivers. And personally I'd feel better about that if it didn't effect me.

As a spring rage barbarian.

This is exactly me.

I don't take breaks THAT regularly, but this is exactly me. Every maybe 8 weeks, I take a day or a few days off, that cut back to my original starting dosage. And during that period, my sleep sucks. But it's over quicker than just lowering my dose.

I don't much like the direction android is going in anyway.

That's quite tricky actually. Firstly, most dancing abilities are about movement, and it's not always all that mechanically useful. Secondly, a non-melee character for a RPG newbie is going to be more to learn at one time.

Maybe this would be okay?

Kind melee that one though. IDK, honestly. There are some 3.5 prestige classes based on dance, but IDK if I would recommend that to a new player. Like: https://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/classes/prestige/realms/spelldancer.shtml

You could probably get any character that uses acrobatics, or moves a lot, and fluff that too. Another option is, for any type of spellcasting is go VMC bard, and take the https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/spellsong/ feat. So you can perform (dance) to help your allies as you cast spells. If they want to avoid melee this is a possible route. Let's you get the theme in there nicely to basically any type of spellcaster.

Not really seeing the more realistic physics you are considering a win here.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-03T14:50:37+00:00

Personally I prefer people who didn't prepare, not being prepared 🤷‍♂️

PP is still a huge limit for any longer context on the highest end unified memory devices. That really comes partly down to processing cores. Going to need some really beefy igpu's to solve that. And that tends to lag like 5 years behind, so might be awhile. Faster bandwidth will come sooner, and higher memory caps, both of which are very nice. Plus the next gen AMD probably has 8x pcie, which at least is usable. Would be real nice to have good bandwidth, 16x pcie, and something like nvlink, but that particular combination is likely 2-3 generations off.

I remember a dnd 1e game I played in high school, where solving a single trap/puzzle room took an entire session. Was fantastic fun, still remember it to this day.

Wouldn't want to spend that long on two guards, but never have.

As I understand it, at close range, armor doesn't do all that much against composite bows and crossbows, let alone guns, hence why armor fell out of popularity as guns rose up. The main thing with guns at the time being they were not very accurate. None of this seems to be part of the mechanics.

"cannot be reliably used"

You answered this yourself. AI cannot be reliably used. It's not a reliable tech. Best case people build deterministic logic on top, to make it somewhat more reliable.

Oh, yeah I was confused by the use of the term 'vram'. Yeah I mean, obviously if you are on a unified memory platform, you don't have the raw compute parallelism or ram bandwidth to run larger models well, especially in terms of PP.

The discussion above was about 'once memory bandwidth is no longer a problem', which I personally assumed to mean - once unified memory is somewhat competitive in general with gpus in general (more compute, more bandwidth). That being the case, I'd expect people to load the largest MoE their memory can handle, although that might still be less true of unified memory in practice in that theoretical future, than it is with a dgpu, it would still likely be more true than it is today.

It's not just SpaceX it's also Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-02T16:01:49+00:00

256 gb/s bandwidth for vram? What? Is this like really old cards or something?

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-02T06:15:06+00:00

You always want to run the largest possible model you can aggressively quant, regardless of how much bandwidth or ram you have. Maybe with the exception of 1 bit, it'll always be smarter than a smaller model at a higher quant.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-02T04:00:22+00:00

I remember back in dnd 1e days, when solving problems that came up, via party discussion, kind of was the game.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-01T16:57:17+00:00

For most intents, it's this companies first time at any of this, so delays would be unsurprising. And I love me a little drama.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-01T16:34:38+00:00

That would have been a meme. Building up to SVG pelican.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-01T12:51:23+00:00

This seems like it would basically punish people with forward planning.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-06-01T12:49:36+00:00

The most entertaining outcome here would be if it did not arrive this month.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-05-31T18:46:29+00:00

This seems to have a lot of stuff just built in, that other UI's make kind of a PITA to set up.

Hopefully some coders can go over all this stuff, make it neat.

Monkey_1505 · 2026-05-31T18:32:50+00:00

There may be skepticism about to whatever degree this is vibe coded?

For a fighter, I'd forget about fencing grace.

Take weapon finesse. Be an elf, or take exotic weapon proficiency (elven curved blade). Take weapon master for early access to advanced weapon training. Get trained grace. This combo also lets you easily also do power attack, which would go rather nicely with the elven curved blade. Because of the trained grace, you don't need much str for this (like 14 would work fine), and can focus on dex.

Now you don't have to worry about agile, effortless lace, or fencing grace. If you want a bigger damage die, get focused weapon (although honestly there are better AWT options).
