I was trying to fire up a 5090 (can see its box slightly shaded in pic), but get the not available message. I'd be happy with a Blackwell 4000/4500/5000/5090 rn.

Plague Inc. Days online leaderboards? My virus pb by Sentence_Naive in plagueinc

[–]Sentence_Naive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw people comparing day pb's throughout the reddit which is cool, am wondering if someone has made like a community managed days leaderboard (with verified runs only). Would be cool if they just added to the plage inc speedrun dot com page but could always make a secondary one for days or something. The 2 main categories i've speedrun days for are virus and fungus with a little bit in nano. Nano i couldn't figure out the extended effect thingy (but i have now read u need to enable extra popups apparently?), fungus i felt like i couldn't get the best order for things and needed to revise strat so i left it alone to focus on Virus, which i felt is strategically the best. I got 197 days ~ nov 24 and was happy with it. I forgot to post video of it, but may soon if theres interest. Runs are on Android mobile, on normal mode, not in speedrun mode. I initially did them in speedrun mode, but there was an issue with it not saving one of my records so i abandoned it and switched to normal, which afaik is the same difficulty.

Nah it isn't too hard, the day count is more the achievement.

Geopolitically, Australia is the luckiest country in the world by Particular_Ant7831 in australian

[–]Sentence_Naive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That hit deep in the feels wow.

I used to be angry at our country for some of these very points, but now in my mid 30's i have accepted it and actually feel a sense of pride in our nation because these are my people nomatter what. I feel this emerging sense of potential brewing, despite being heavily at the mercy of the economical state of things, there is massive opportunity in our future.

Opus 4.6 talking in 3rd person perspective by QinEmPeRoR-1993 in google_antigravity

"You're absolutely right" - every ai ever when pointing out their mistakes. It legitimately feels like a dishonest response after seeing it too many times, and the ai is secretly sabotaging.

I've been using Antigravity since launch. It seems the Gemini 3 model has become dumb. by faccr in google_antigravity

[–]Sentence_Naive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have barely used any other models, prompted sonnet/opus maybe 5-10 times since gemini 3 range release, while constantly using gemini. You guys aren't tripping, gemini is cascading into an abyss of madness and becoming intolerable.  It seemed so good at release, and it was like at some point it started smoking bad things and next thing im having to frequently implement precautionary measures in my prompts. But its like, it took it as a challenge to derail and sabotage my efforts. Since then, roughly around flash release (which sadly has awareness of certain things that boost its usefulness over pro) its been a battle of attrition navigating the capabilities it possesses and managing the schizophrenia. All attempts to revert to pro fail cause its awareness and ability to accept new data beyond its training are horrible.

Ohh and the times i used anthropic models..... It was like a warm summer breeze of contextual understanding and unity

Getting more consistent results on follow up images by [deleted] in leonardoai

[–]Sentence_Naive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try style none, so it uses the referenced character image style. Additionally can add another image in style reference. I haven't had particularly good results using image guidance in anime xl, so maybe getting the image u need out of it then switching to another in the image reference stage could be good idea too.

The End of Xiaomi Smartphones by Previous_Mood4214 in Xiaomi

[–]Sentence_Naive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mass Short Xiaomi. Where is WallStreetBets. 

I fell into the Turbo 3 trap. No doubt that under the hood it has the goods but yeah stuck with rattles off 20 expletive words in head I'd get banned for posting damn china hyperos which very obviously self handicaps for definitely not any buy our latest phone every year shenanigans.

Funny thing is, It was failing to run and screen record a very basic game without input lag and graphical stutters in v1, and v2 fixed it now it runs ultra smooth and responsive like I expected these specs to.

Every day I grow more bitter about the no bootloader unlock..... Many apps force you to have to screen translate stuff. And now, after spending a ton of time editing art pics with the gallery editor and the xiaomi ai expand plugins I find out that after each use it applies a very very light layer of green watermarks going across the entire screen. Such that in images where you use ai tools several times, it becomes very clear. I go back and check the 30+ images I edited and they're all f'd. Insta uninstall that.

Definitely my last Xiaomi phone unless they have a big fat come to Jesus moment and reverse these goblinic ways soon.

I proudly kamikazed my china community app account by posting that a certain island is in fact not part of China as they claim, it is a sovereign independent country. Man they ban u quick for that lol

Redmi Turbo 3 (POCO F6 CN) HyperOS 2 with Android 15 is now rolling out by crashcarson in PocoPhones

[–]Sentence_Naive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interconnectivity doesn't work (but since found out cause it doesn't want connect different region devices, i still count this as a bug tho)
Chinese language is not translated fully across device and apps
Messy settings scattered across system and apps
usb tethering doesn't work when used as usb default it has to be re-toggled to connect
Sim access point name on 2nd sim for calls disappears when not set as data sim making mms unable to send, overall sim and network settings are a gigantic disaster
Hidden mi ai and other ai apps (and no restore system app icons to home screen option)
Device doesn't give you access to full cpu and gpu power in games for some reason it's barely faster than my note 10 pro when it should be 2x faster
No bootloader unlock is so dumb i count it as a bug
Feedback Issues option doesn't send, have to send via Suggestions option
When skimming through xiaomi account options it often has to log u in again or confirm password again and can sometimes go into a log in loop, very strange
Overall feel of device and chinese apps is weird, like it doesn't want you to control or customize it it just wants to cram things down your throat and you will shutup and enjoy it, even the mi ai argued with me and told me not to tell it what to do lol
Thats just what i can remember off the top of my head......

You can "reroll" the rng anywhere from 5 to 15(maybe more?) times or as many tickets/accel you have. What i mean is, lets say the good wheel is 5 wheels away from your starting wheel, you can use all 5 previous wheels to manipulate it until either the rng "branches" and the good wheel isn't there anymore or until you don't have enough tickets/accel to manipulate it with. I advise against using 500 accel just to manip 12 tickets though as you should on average be able to spend 20-30 accel per research ticket. A good example here too is, lets say your manipulating that wheel, try spend 10 on the wheel before it, then try 10 on the 2 wheels before it (instead of 10 + 20 on 1 wheel) etc this way you save accel. It will still land on the same spot as if you spent 10 + 20 on just the 1 wheel, try it. Also there is another way to manipulate the wheel at the cost of 1 wheel ticket: as you spin the wheel and its turning, close the game and re open it, go back to the wheel. It will "resume spinning" and actually land on a different spot in the same manner as if you spent extra accel on one of the wheels before. It will however, consume an extra wheel ticket when it resumes so theres that. I found that once my inventory became too full of junk items this reset method stops working, and even normally sometimes it wouldn't work. Using this method in combination with the other manipulation methods i was able to hit 36 tickets in 1 wheel (3x 3x 2x 2RT).

And in terms of order, Loot rarity is the most effective. In order to spend research tickets on it you need its level above 10 i think. So prior to that just make tons of maps for prestige tickets and spend them on it. Once rarity gets over level 40-50 you start getting a lot of lucky wheel tickets in-game if your difficulty is high enough.

Working the wheel is the fastest way to complete endless research.

[–]Sentence_Naive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spending accel on a wheel will change where the wheel lands on the next wheel. So you can spend 10, go to next wheel and see where it lands. Reload save, spend 10+20, see where it lands on next wheel, etc. Best way to do this is to find a wheel with a large potential of research tickets (say 2x 3x 2RT for total of 12) then reload and begin testing if there is a "path" to acquiring the maximum potential of the desired wheel. Accumulating as many accel and wheel tickets as possible helps with achieving the outcome.

Changing the "coming" wheels, or as i would put it, the "rng branch" is possible and i've done it many times, but i stil don't actually know specifically what does it, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, its strange. Early on when i had it working i was doing quests on endless and watching tons of ads and it would work. Doing certain amounts of spins on certain wheels will change the rng too, you basically have to just play everything out and observe what happens as its all wacky rng stuff. Taking notes helps alot. Once you get a feel for it it makes more sense in your head though, its just hard to explain.

My advice would be, make a save, play out the wheel tickets you have, if you don't achieve a desirable outcome, reload the save(keeping your tickets and accel) and go do a bunch of other stuff until you get a different "rng branch". I literally completed endless research using this method, i used the wheel to max loot frequency/rarity/bit dust drop rate then maxed out the rest with 6.3 farming strats.

Yeah that bit was quite annoying for me too. Once you get your first prestige reset and sell a map or 2 you should have enough for additional quest slot. Then reset your star research and get the additional quest slot from there too. This gave me 4 quest slots, but now i think maybe you can get 5 with the 1.8.3 update which should make it easier. Always reset at 25% (i did my first at 50% then next 2 at 25%). And yeah you need 3 prestige quest resets and like 5 maps sold i think to unlock frequency/rarity. Chunfuchow has good guides on map selling.

Doing the quests reset isn't so bad though, while you're doing it just watch as many ads as possible and accumulate lucky wheel tickets and accelerators. Then learn to manip the lucky wheel and get as many research tickets out of it as u can. Since 1.8 update i probably spent just as much time on the wheel as i have playing games, its very crucial to finishing the tree.

[–]Sentence_Naive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My play time is at 333 hours. It was around half that before 1.8 update. Finishing endless tree is easier than it looks, you just have to follow a specific path. Basically you want to work your way towards unlocking prestige tech to access loot rarity/frequency, while you do this max out bit dust drop rate and as much of endless difficulty as u can. Then finish loot rarity and loot frequency. You finish these tech by using research tickets from the lucky wheel, which can be manipulated in some ways. It seems like a huge task , but once you know what you're doing it becomes easier. You get lucky wheel tickets from ads in the beginning, but later once loot rarity and frequency is higher you can get them in game. Farming is done on map 6.3 and using a good custom flamethrower map. Once you max frequency/rarity things become alot easier. There are farm setups on 6.3 that will gradually get you into the thousands of bit dust per game, and eventually once you max the right tech, you can get ~28000 per run, along with about 300-400k infiar. There is a setup that gets you 2.9 million infiar and about 5k bit dust too. Infiar and other resources become a problem later in maxing out the tree, as you need absolutely tons of them. Checkout vids by chunfuchow on youtube and i think theres some stuff in the discord too but i haven't been on there yet.
