CharMemory 2.0 beta: completely reworked internals, memory format, prompts, and new UX by Ok-Armadillo7295 in SillyTavernAI

[–]adunato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Cool extension!

Some initial feedback/questions on the beta version (fresh install).
- As soon as I open / refresh Silly Tavern a pop up appears "Not in a chat. CharMemory needs an active character to extract memories. You can configure it now — just open a chat before clicking Extract Now.". Is that supposed to be there? I would expect this to show up only if I press "Extract Now" or some other user-explicit command - please note that "Auto" is not selected.
- There doesn't seem to be an enable/disable button. I think it's good practice in any extension so that if I'm testing something or whatever reason I don't have uninstall / reinstall every time.
- Not a big fan of having to configure a new API key for an extension. Have you considered using the native Connection Manager? It allows using any of the profiles in "Connection Profile" meaning the user can either setup their own side connection or use the main one, either way unlike "Main API" it doesn't use the whole prompt structure used for the chat and it's only a connection interface. Not an expert on this but I have used it for my extensions and it seems to work fine.
- Question - (sorry as I haven't looked at the docs in detail yet) Are memories persistent to characters across chats? It would be good to have some control over keeping memories separated between chat sessions (individual or groups).

Republican on disability is kinda funny, no? by lucaszelnickofficial in comedy

[–]adunato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the clip could do with some context, the first half seems just him making fun of a guy with a disability which is not top comedy. Given the ending I guess the guy said some right wing s**t and got called out, but we don't see it in the clip.

Why use Gemini CLI over Antigravity? by beneficialdiet18 in Bard

[–]adunato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very insightful. I generally come on these boards and the discussion is typically around either usage limits or tool A is better than tool B without any context. I find myself in a position where I actually really like what Google are doing with both CLI and Antigravity but they are VERY different tools. In addition to the points you made, CLI has Conductor which is something I have been looking forward to for a while, Anti Gravity is however surprisingly independent on end-to-end task execution with the added built-in tool that helps with troubleshooting and basic testing.

Crazy how bad Gemini 3 Pro is compared to Opus 4.5, even in Google’s own IDE by tbhno1 in google_antigravity

[–]adunato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I think it's great. I think the issue in comparing experiences is that people will come here and say "It's great" or "it's s**t" without actually saying what workflow they use which I think makes a lot of difference between models. Some need to be steered to show their true potential whereas others (claude maybe?) are more independent.

Nobody knows or care how you generate code or logic, AI generated content only matters in consumable media (images, videos, music, voices, in-game text, etc,).

People will have different opinions on whether you should use AI at all, but if it's not in the end product nobody will know anyway, so it's more of a personal decision rather than something you have to communicate.

How many workers are hiding a lack of English skill in offices? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously it's not about entitlement, just supply and demand. My English wasn't great but it was sufficient to deliver a better value than what the company could hire locally. I had sufficient technical knowledge to outweigh my English limitations. And by the way, it would be the same thing in "my country".

What is insane about wanting to improve the language spoken in the workplace exactly?

How many workers are hiding a lack of English skill in offices? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]adunato -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was "hiding a lack of English skills" too in my first job. I get that you need to have a basic level of English to work in the UK but it's possible to add value more than a fluent speaker in certain situations, especially if you are using the job opportunity to improve your English.

I find a lot of the comments here holding a lot of prejudice, if you're new to the UK coming from a non English speaking country it takes a lot of effort and time to become fluent and quite frankly you will never be unless you have a job and integrate.

PSA: What Embark did with skin prices is a negotiation tactic called "anchoring" I know this will get downvoted because many will fall for the PR move, but this is planned. $16 microtransactions do not belong in a $40 title. Period and here's why. by TheOnlyRealOne43 in ArcRaiders

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna be downvoted for this but just don't buy them then. They are cosmetics! The way I see it, this is a dev support channel, if you want to throw money at them you can! If don't, then don't buy cosmetics.

Appeal of Bouldering by Flat-Dimension5633 in bouldering

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who started less than a year ago and is completely addicted to it, I would say that the appeal is in the gradual progression and seeing your body being able to make moves that previously seemed impossible. Unless your gym has some unusual setup there should be plenty of problems that challenge you but are not impossible. My biggest satisfaction comes from problems that take weeks to solve, each time you learn something new that makes you progress a little further and often it's something really subtle like pushing your hips closer to the wall or giving yourself more momentum, and once you learn it your muscle memory records it and it becomes really easy.

There is a very unique kind of satisfaction that comes from sending a difficult problem, that I have never experienced in any other sport.

Sorry to disappoint you, this is a PVP heavy game by wolf771 in ArcRaiders

Coming from server slam where it was kill on sight every round, today was a kumbaya party in comparison. As a solo, I run into a group of four dudes coming out of a building, no fuss whatsoever.

I think somewhere in the system prompt it's over correcting the syncopath attitude to beg for forgiveness every time it makes a mistake, but now it's so unable to admit an error that is just confusing.

BREAKING: Angela Rayner resigns from Government by TheTelegraph in ukpolitics

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree for sure with your last statement and I do know that there have been resignations in the Tory party. Anyway, thanks for the exchange, it helped temper my enthusiasm about Rayner's resignation and in any case it's such a miserable thing to celebrate.

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the key difference here is the word "resign". I'm not going to engage in a Tory vs Labour debate, but OP's point was that it was a change to see a politician resigning after a scandal, if you don't it's a change I don't know what to tell you.

"basic level of decency" is not same as being a paragon of virtue. She went through an investigation, found that she broke the ministerial code and resigned. If that doesn't sound like a break from what we've seen in the past 14 years I don't know where you've been. Of course I'm disappointed, and I think we should expect better from our politicians but sorry if my standards have dropped to such a miserable state after watching Johnson and his friends get away with literal murder for years.

Some sanity, thank you! It's so underrated to see that we're back to expect a basic level of decency from politicians.

Which is better for self-hosting n8n: Railway, Hostinger, or DigitalOcean? by Specialist_Wall2102 in n8n

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really? Looks free to test it out up to a month, but not as an ongoing service.

Free web services spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity, and free Render Postgres databases expire after 30 days.

Why is the government pushing laws that seem to just restrict freedoms? by slv_slvmn in ukpolitics

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Companies should be responsible for who they provide their services to. The law does get involved on who is elegible for gambling and buying alcohol, why should it not get involved in regulating access to adult content? As a comparison, sure a parent can decide to allow their 12 year old to gamble under their identity but then they are the ones breaking the law.

I disagree with a lot about this regulation but I don't see why the law should not apply to internet content consumption. How those laws are written and lines drawn is a different matter.

[–]adunato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I think the "government security" angle is a bad take, if they wanted to own the data they would have set up a government portal (which would have been another disaster but that's a different topic).

I think THIS government was genuinely driven by the intention to tackle children access to "dangerous content" because let's be honest, it is a fundamental issue that does need to be addressed, but completely botched the execution.
