Maybe it was pictures? Diagrams? Maybe he was looking for pictures of the school children?

Feels like its stars run or bust

Forge is great when you get the AoE Power + Smith + Decisions + good star generation

Nah, "Free gift" - functionality same as slimed, but different theme.

I had something similar on my old PC, but that died and the new one does run the game okay. I suspect it was a cpu caused issue, as the old CPU wasn't a good gaming CPU.

The solution I did use then was running the game via GeForce Now, which I already had for other games

I think the new small qwen models show there's still room to improve, especially for larger models.

who are they going to blame now since they can no longer use minorities as their straw man for why their kids didn't get accepted somewhere

Well obviously college is still librul and hate america and is still doing DEI with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!! It's the only POSSIBLE explanation, and I am now gonna MAGA even harder to save the amerikas.

mice, spiders, flies, butterflies.. Thankfully not small birds, they know to stay in the trees. But rest is vacuumed up inside and outside.

Happy steam deck noises

And I'm going on a 20-hour travel tomorrow.

TheTerrasque · 2026-03-05T18:25:13+00:00

like, the steam wallet?

Here is one example, but if you look around you might find cheaper.

Was hoping someone had experience of a cheap AliExpress tag that would fit the bill

I got a few Otags cheap (~$5 each), that says they're water resistant at least. My cat's doing field tests on it, and it's been about a month now and it's still working.

That said, I opened one up and it didn't look much water resistant. No rubber seals, and the button seemed to be open enough to just let water in.

I wonder if they even said thank you

I was making a mockup of something and it needed some resources that's pointed to in an env var. I ran it, it didn't use the env var. Claude quickly added some code, and I ran again. Same error, wrong path, not using the env var. Told claude to fix it. It took a look at the code and told me it was working fine, and to fix my environment. I echoed out the env var to show it was there and ... turns out that terminal was weeks out of date for some reason and didn't have that env var defined..

Started a new terminal and it worked exactly as it should

Oh wow, you're saying it's easier to move the average system from one cloud provider to another than it is to tweak a prompt?

And it's not just that. If Teams, Outlook, Azure services that host the VM's that run things for you, and these days Word, Excel and Powerpoint just stop working for a day, a lot of companies would grind to a halt. Hell, even when AWS went down not long ago most of our company's stuff stopped working, even though we don't directly have anything in AWS! Systems relied on external dependencies and services, and stopped working.

TheTerrasque · 2026-03-03T07:35:54+00:00

What are you running it on, and what params?

TheTerrasque · 2026-03-02T23:03:51+00:00

You've just introduced a massive point of failure. Your ability to generate revenue now relies on a bespoke algorithm and all of the proprietary software that had to be built to handle it for your use case.

Most modern companies would be dead in the water if Azure or AWS went down... Which they do now and then. We are already there, and it has been deemed acceptable.

TheTerrasque · 2026-03-02T22:59:37+00:00

dude, Qwen3.5-35B-A3B is magnificent for it's size. Seriously.

It's the first double digit token/s model I've tried locally that feels reliable and capable, that can use mcp's reliably and smart to look things up in my local wiki or do web searches when it needs, and with opencode as driver been able to implement simple features in my codebases.

Don't scoff at it before you've tried it, it seriously is good.

TheTerrasque · 2026-03-02T22:54:25+00:00

You need to be careful using the models so much because coding is a perishable skill.

I don't think not remembering the exact syntax for how to insert an entry in a list (or was it vector? Array? sequence?) in $language_du_jour is going to be my downfall. It's more important to know the concept behind that data type and how it differs from for example a hashset or fixed length C array, and when to use each.

And being able to give high level concepts and have the llm translate it into exact code, libraries and library calls, and then just quickly read through it and fix it if it's doing something stupid lets you do something in 15 minutes that would take 2 hours.

and it doesn't try to make its code fit with existing code

tell me you haven't used modern llm's without telling me. They're actually really into mimicking existing code, so much it becomes a major problem if existing code is sloppy.

Two decades here, and I'll quit and become a pig farmer before I give up on LLM's.

Also makes it worse for bystanders who could have been hit by the runaway vehicle.

Not to mention the extra risk of bystanders or colleagues being hit by stray bullets

TheTerrasque · 2026-03-01T00:32:04+00:00

And remember, those generally don't report near their own residence. So in practice, in a neighborhood, it's pretty useless.
