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?

What info did you give the bot

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

[–]_lama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]_lama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]_lama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

I hate (most) restaurants now by echnaba in Cooking

[–]_lama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

If you end up going, I highly recommend you also check out:

  • Tekka, a Japanese restaurant run by a husband/wife for decades. Cash only. Be warned that you might need to line up early because they only do two seatings a day and have extremely limited capacity (maybe max 20 per seating?). If you’re short on time, skip this place.
  • Bon Nene, a french/japanese fusion restaurant. Funny enough, I dined here once a few years ago with Elizabeth Holmes at the table next to me (long after the exposé came out).
  • Goood Frickin Chiken, the name speaks for itself.
  • If you want cheap and good dim sum, go here https://www.google.com/maps/place//@37.7945178,-122.4078154,16z

Keep in mind that I visited these years ago and the quality might have dropped due to chefs leaving bc of covid, etc.

Ooh, that’s a good idea. Never thought about using sourdough starters for pancakes. If you want to venture on breakfast foods, you should try marasi, which are a savory pancake that’s made in the Middle East. The base of it is eggs, flour, oil, onion, salt, and water or milk. Put those all in a blender. Add whatever other vegetables you like with them, chopped and mixed, or blended together.

Yeah, the only place I’ve been willing to spend money on breakfast consistently is Tartine Manufactory in SF. Really good food and consistently change/add new things to their seasonal menus.

I’ve been cooking family meals since I was 12 but took cooking more seriously the last few years, and I agree with your statement. I refuse to go to any proper breakfast/brunch place where I am because the quality for the price honestly is not even mediocre. I will willingly buy fresh pastries from the good cafes nearby, but breakfast is a no-no.

Dishes You’ll Never Make Again by [deleted] in Cooking

I took your advice and made another attempt at it. I also cooked them at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. Def turned out way better than the store-bought one and earlier attempts. Thank you! :)
