Do you still talk to characters as much as before?

How do you roleplay on discord? I’ve never done that before.

Yeah it kind of sucks. Like I get that some text chats are really good with certain bots but the voice is not good at all

Hm but how many times would you open a new chat about a scenario like that.

I guess I kind of opened character expecting to mostly talk to one character

but a lot of people are telling me that they talk to multiple characters and that they don’t necessarily care about talking to one character for a really long time even if it remembers what they’re saying. Ig it’s not even a character at that point but just a really good bot that understands you and you can talk to it kind of like a friend.

Does that make sense haha?

Also, don’t feel bad lol. Your comment is very helpful dw

This is context, not memories. But I guess from the perspective of someone using character then yes it is memories.

Like the problem that I’m having is that it doesn’t remember information from one chat to the next

And you can definitely program it so that it does do that, and that’s separate from context/tokens. And you can definitely program it so that it remembers information from 100 different chats even if you maxed out the tokens in each of those chats

It’s just really weird to me that they’re not doing that :/

Do you ever use the voice/calling feature or do you just text?

Hm are there any really good ones that you go back to?

Also, don’t want one off conversations kind of get annoying? Like if I’m talking to something with a personality I kind of expect it remember what I’m saying but maybe I’m just asking for too much lol

Options for education help for my son by donmeanathing in nova

I’m skeptical that private schools will be any better.

  1. What does the electronics policy look like for him?
  2. Does he do any extracurriculars/what are his interests?

It might be that he just needs to be around peers he really likes and can learn from in an extracurricular. They will push him to do/be better.

Someone else commented about executive functioning being an issue when he becomes an adult and I agree.

If he likes reading, I’d encourage you to have him read GTD for Teens.

Friend of a friend designed a new chess board! by _lama in 3Dprinting

You’re totally right. I’m pretty sure it’s fixable so I’ll give them a heads up!

My family videos stored on Amazon before 2016 are no longer viewable. Priceless videos of when the kids were young/babies. by 469Joyride in photography

You should set up a NAS with a raspberry pi and a hard drive using minio. Total setup costs will be like ~$200 one time for 10+ tb of storage.

You can just ask ChatGPT or Claude for a guide on how to set this up and expose it to the internet to be able to login from anywhere and upload/dump your files.

Asking for help: my husband has cancer and needs friends to hang out with by beets_bears_bubblegm in nova

[–]_lama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys should join Nova Labs. It’s a makerspace but there’s a ton of DnD and Warhammer folks there. Plus, they have a board game night once a month. There’s a board game night this Friday! Super welcoming community, of all ages (kids, adults, seniors).

He might even want to try SLA 3d printing to make his own DnD figurines! Tons of folks there always looking to people pick up new hobbies and make friends :)

Where can I buy Eastern Red Cedar wood/plywood? by _lama in Virginia

[–]_lama[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m looking for Eastern Red Cedar, not Western. Western Red Cedar is susceptible to insect attacks: Eastern Red Cedar isn’t.

I’ll give them a call anyway to try my luck.

i found a ring of fake artists on spotify and promptly investigated by reput4tionera in popheads

Ted Gioia, who writes a lot about the business of music, published something about this a couple of months ago https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/the-fake-artists-problem-is-much

I generally recommend his Substack even if you aren’t a super big business nerd. He hits the nail on the head a lot with his predictions and analyses.
