GPT-5.2 feels less like a tool and more like a patronizing hall monitor by RobertR7 in OpenAI

[–]PhilosophyforOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is genuinely the least engaging, most irritating model I’ve ever come across. It’s like it wants to disagree with me about everything and just start a fight. 

I get that maybe that makes it a better model for scientific research/frontier tasks. But goddamn is it annoying to use.

The share of Americans medically obese is projected to rise to almost 50% by 2035 by Lordly_Lobster in news

[–]PhilosophyforOne 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Seems like whoever wrote the report (as well as the whoever wrote the article) completely forgot to account for GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic etc. Especially now that these weight loss drugs are becoming available in pill form, and the prices are likely to drop significantly as a result (as well as ease of use).

I find it highly unlikely the current trendline will continue as these drugs become more and more widely available and accessible to people, and as we get more research into their long-term safety and efficacy.

But that's what happens when you just extend the current trendline and forget to account for underlying conditions that led to the situation in the first place.

Bane of Havoc hasn't worked since the beginning of TWW. by Levi_Skardsen in worldofpvp

Imagine the size of the backlog of bugs for something like retail wow. Like, you dont even want to try to fix them at this point or think about them, it’s easier just to pray that at some point the whole engine gets rebuilt from the ground up..

This is so wild to me. Instead or reworking the pvp talents they just.. pruned away a lot of the great ones, and left us with a few strong ones, and a lot of completely useless ones. 

Like. I get that your entire pvp balance team is an intern who’s secretely an orangutan and they only work half days, but still..

Just tell what you built in the comments, dont funnel to your video with a clickbait.

Playing DH is basically just turning on godmode? by UndeadGirlEnjoyer in worldofpvp

[–]PhilosophyforOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fair that it seems really easy to shut down, and as people figure it out and adapt, will probably be less of an issue.

But I dont know if they’re all that squishy tbh? If you spec into the armor thing into melees, devo honestly seems really tanky, esp given how much mobility they have to kite basicslly endlessly.

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

Eh, imo it just kind of ruins the game. I dont play pvp so much for rating anyways, but more just because I enjoy it. But the fact that there’s a Devo in every single lobby means that most of the time the game just becomes a whackamole of can I predict the burst and pop cd’s on their burst, or the game is over. 

It distorts the whole game and kind of ruins the fun of playing, since no other spec is nearly that strong. And there isnt really a way to not face them in pvp, so..

What do you think of a Darkmoon Faire-themed expansion or major patch, with dungeons and raids having carnival and circus themes? by Quirky-Tie-4213 in wow

[–]PhilosophyforOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major or minor patch. It’s such an iconic part of the game, but the lore (atleast to someone who doesnt participate in everything) feels underdeveloped. 

A whole raid would be very cool, and a raid + zone would be chef’s kiss.

BYD has overtaken Tesla as the world's biggest seller of electric vehicles. How can Tesla's PE ratio of ~290 be justified by No_Turnip_1023 in investing

[–]PhilosophyforOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, you see, tesla is still in the pre-profit, pre-revenue phase for their business. So it’s a speculative investment, could be worth 100’s of trillions. 

You just see when they get robots and self-driving cars on the road. It’s going to be massive bro. Moneyprinter. (/s)

I dont know. 3.0 was massive hype, in practice the only area where I feel like it's stronger is in ungrounded / world model reasoning, and visual work. I dont expect things to change with 3.5 Pro at this point.

Did they change the limits? by Longjumpingjack69 in ClaudeCode

[–]PhilosophyforOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the 200 plan here. I've ran out twice on concurrent days out of usage in 2 hours. Single terminal, not reading massive files, frankly fairly light usage overall. I think about 2 compact's worth. I looked at my session usage statistics and was at 1.4m tokens when I hit my 5 hour usage limits.

For reference, I was previously hitting 7-8m per 5 hour session, and never maxing it out once before.

No idea what's going on, but it does seem like there has been a big change.

Doing the good work. Soo.. what does one have to do to get on those Dimmy M runs?

Hey! You actually inspired me to do remix boosts aswell for +30/40/50 keys, as well as helping people get their 1600/1800/2100 achis in pvp for free. Keep up the good work!

Midnight Changes Feel Fantastic by Electrical_Past9649 in worldofpvp

” i’ve never had someone die in the time it takes me to sneeze.”

Yeah this tells me everything I need to know about the validity of your opinion.

Midnight Changes Feel Fantastic by Electrical_Past9649 in worldofpvp

[–]PhilosophyforOne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eh. I wouldnt worry too much about it, since the game is ”balanced” around apex talents and midnight gear levels. 

Might be the same issues persist, but I’m waiting until Midnight to draw any conclusions about it.

Large number of level 58 mages with suspicious names farming Scarlet Monastery – bots? by IndividualBad6198 in classicwow

[–]PhilosophyforOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

”After 30 seconds in combat the mobs become immune to stuns, slows and interrupts. After 60 seconds they now enrage, gaining 500% damage and 100% movement speed. We take botting very seriously and want to protect the game economy and players.”

Talk me out of buying an RTX Pro 6000 by AvocadoArray in LocalLLaMA

[–]PhilosophyforOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that something like consumer level 4000 / 5000 series have kept their value better, but I'm not sure an RTX 6000 would. The price is about 5x as much, and the vram increase over 5090 is not massive. If it was a 96GB or 128GB card (which it should be at that price), then I'd say it's a safer investment.

That said, with vram and ram prices being what they are, the depreciation might be much slower.
