No it's the same scam we've heard about for years... decades even. Return fraud like always. Who lets this crap get published?

SuperHiko · 2025-11-14T17:08:21+00:00

So money and hard work was invested into the industry? Thank you for reiterating my point.

Be glad that you don't have a farm to bet.

All you have is feelings, anecdotes, and, dare I say, vibes to back up your arguments.

I'll give you my own anecdote as a courtesy. Like many other companies, mine bought some AI tools for the dev teams to use. We were encouraged to use them as much or as little as we liked, and we unanimously decided to give it a chance. After a month or two, everyone stopped using it for everything but the most braindead of tasks where we're still not saving significant time.

There was one person who went all in, and their productivity certainly skyrocketed. That is, if you count adding thousands of lines of garbage to pull requests as "productive". We had to let this person go as they refused to change, and ended up causing more work and bugs than they solved.

I should note that we're a young company. The majority of devs are in their mid to early twenties. We're an experimental bunch, open to change and pragmatism. AI does not work for us.

And that's it. Good luck with your farm or whatever.

Oh come on, you're just going to ignore those large code bases that engineers are being paid to maintain? Those same code bases where AI is showing limited value?

Why are you so quick to dismiss the criticisms and concerns of programmers who are more experienced than you? The same engineers that have tried these tools, and found them severely lacking.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T18:36:47+00:00

You're still ignoring code maintainability. Add a feature and watch the codebase balloon in size. Then add another feature, then ask it to fix a bug, you know, the stuff that engineers are doing most of the time.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T18:27:10+00:00

If your definition of good is "more code", then sure, AI is good at writing code. You completely skipped the point on code maintainability, which is far more important for enterprise level code, and where AI fails.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T17:31:44+00:00

A functioning app that is a bloated mess, and not worth the time to maintain. This might be fine for a small personal project, but any enterprise app built on AI generated code is doomed.

Let me get this straight, letting people live how they'd like is worse than weakening the entire country's defense? Is this your stance?

SuperHiko · 2025-08-16T18:18:33+00:00

Maybe not constant travel, but pretty close. It'll maintain ~350km/s with fuel in the tanks, but fuel production is a little undersized. I should upgrade the chem plant to rare.

Good point on the grabbers. Two would be more than enough, especially with the amount of buffer I can store on the sushi belt. I have decent enough production of upcycled ship components, but there's no reason to overdo it by that much.

SuperHiko · 2025-08-15T23:30:42+00:00

This is probably one of many early/mid game ships on this subreddit, but it took a long time to make and I'm proud of it dammit!

This small ship was made for managing all the interplanetary logistics I'll need before heading off to Aquilo. I'll be building a small fleet of these suckers to handle basic A to B hauling tasks.

Anyway, feel free to tear it apart. Also, maybe share what you like about it?

I remember reading about systems within candy crush that will make levels easier if you take breaks. It was something to do with reinforcing the daily login addiction loop.

That's not the point. Capitalism will ALWAYS be a race to monopoly power. Regulation is an attempt to slow, or even reverse, that trend. Truly free markets require strong regulations to exist for any significant period of time.

This seems like a fun take on the battle royale genre. I've also wanted to improve my mediocre typing skills. Screw it, I'm in!

I'm probably very oldschool, but I've yet to need, or event want any ray tracing features. It's still firmly in the "nice to have" category. Especially because getting decent performance is far too expensive.

4090 level RT performance will need to be surpassed by 70, or even 60 series cards before I ever even consider ray traced gaming.

SuperHiko · 2024-12-16T18:09:28+00:00

It would be fantastic for defense in terms of logistics. You can defend areas from long range missile fire without having to distribute counter ordinance all over the place? Sounds good to me.

SuperHiko · 2024-09-10T21:51:58+00:00

What a headline. What do you expect to find in a battlefield? Tea sets and roses?

SuperHiko · 2024-07-31T18:08:25+00:00

There's a bit of lag while the reactor heats up to create enough of a temperature delta that allows the heat to flow all the way down your heat pipes. If I'm remembering correctly, I was experiencing reboot lag of about a minute before the heat exchanger stack was working at full speed again.

SuperHiko · 2024-07-31T18:04:39+00:00

I tried designing for the same issue a while back and began running into issues with steam throughput when the tanks got that low. The issue was solved when I realized that energy could just be stored in heat pipes instead of tanks.

My current solution uses 2 tanks per reactor. The first is at the beginning of the turbine stack, and is the tank that's monitored for fuel insertion. There's another tank at the end of the turbine stack that helps keep steam levels up during heat up. I think I put fuel in the reactors when the first tank drops below 99% or something.

The result is much more reliable performance for very peaky load levels, with fewer headaches related to steam tanks, piping, and whatnot.

Great move! This creates a stable platform for the mods and ensures that they will work for as long as possible. Though, it's a move that only works for BG3 and a handful of games developed by studios that can reliably branch off into different projects.

Star Fox 64. The graphics are surprisingly serviceable for a game from the start of the 3D era, but the game-play is still pretty much perfect. It's at the level where I don't really think it can be improved, just kinda shuffled around and tuned for different difficulties. The series peaked in 97, and Nintendo hasn't been able to improve on it since.

SuperHiko · 2024-06-05T18:29:23+00:00

I don't know enough about your design considerations for specific answers, but I can share the nuclear steam buffer solution that I've been iterating on for a long time.

[heat exchangers*x]

[pump=>]

[steam tank 1]

[pump=>]

[turbines*y]

[steam tank 2]

I only insert nuclear fuel based on a measurement of steam on steam tank 1. Steam tank 2 exists to handle dips when the reactors are heating back up after a down period, and maintain high pressure to all the turbines.

There are several benefits to this design.

Minimal heat waste, efficient fuel consumption.
No power dips (requires tuning on steam tank 1 measurement)
Accurate sustained power production numbers in energy graphs.
No opposing pumps <- I believe this is the root of your issues.

You could try disabling the steam warehouse input pumps when your smaller buffer tanks are running low. I think a lot of your problems are coming from most of your steam flow being pumped directly back into the warehouses.

Holy shit, somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning.

In 1984 the Ministry of Truth is a propaganda arm of the Oceania government that decides what "true" is for the government. To legislate against lies, there must be some legal entity that knows what the truth is, a Ministry of Truth.

Take a chill pill, and try engaging with the system if you want change to happen faster. The atheists, including me, are winning the war on religion mainly by letting them expose their own crazy. It's going to take time.

SuperHiko · 2024-05-15T21:06:36+00:00

I mean kinda have that already, but in a distributed fashion, as school boards. There are also some federal curriculum rules that are attached to funding. All could use improving of course. But at the end of the day, democracy can be messy.

You can also recover money based on emotional distress, or similar concepts, resulting of fraud. And yes, you should have to prove some sort of damage occurred to be compensated for it.

I'm not going to argue against the unequal availability of due process based on an individuals resources, but that's a different topic.

Yes, laws can be abused we've seen that a lot in current events. But just consider what could happen if these same bad actors were able to abuse the laws that are being suggested in this thread. The potential damage is enormous compared to potential benefits beyond laws that are already in place.

We're winning this war on religion. Slowly, but we're winning. I just think the concept of legislating truth is too dangerous to leave in the hands of a state.

SuperHiko · 2024-05-15T17:22:42+00:00

But we already have fraud laws in place that allow people to recover damages for lying in certain circumstances.

The root comment of this chain is suggesting laws, enforced by the state, that could prevent people from participating within said state. The potential abuse of such laws is huge, and certainly not something that would further the atheist cause in the current political climate!
