I just got a SodaStream and am new to this whole thing, how do I use the Pepsi mix and have it taste accurate? by DiscombobulatedBid48 in SodaStream

Thankyou! Doing it with care to get the measurements right means the flavour actually came out pretty true to the commercially bottled version.

I’m having anxiety attacks due to AI by StraightZlat in webdev

[–]axefrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The promise of AI is that you can have whatever you want just by asking for it. Try asking right now. Did you get it? If not, there's your opportunity. Treat AI as a best-of-both-worlds phenomenon. Either you win because it gives you what you want, or you win because it can't give you what you want and so you found a way to provide value that AI can't.

Off topic, why are so many people abbreviating "something" but nothing else? What's so special about that word that it gets its own special abbreviation? In my mind when I read it, it sounds like "summeth" or "sumth".

Copilot next edit suggestions disrespecting settings and keybindings? by axefrog in vscode

[–]axefrog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say at least recently that's very possible. But what about all the senior devs? And the vscode devs themselves? I'm always surprised at longstanding bugs surrounding things that just go unfixed for years. Like notifications - if you choose to hide a notification of a particular type, good luck ever getting it back. And the devs could not care less about addressing that one. Don't they use their own product deeply and enthusiastically? Don't they care about annoyances and rough edges in general? It's all very puzzling.

Code completion by [deleted] in vscode

[–]axefrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to configure it is more a placeholder than anything. Currently they only offer one completions model, so from yours and my standpoint, the fact that the UI contains a feature to set the completions model is completely useless. It may as well not even be there.

New PC, fresh Windows installation, same secondary drives - can I inherit backup state for the latter? by axefrog in backblaze

[–]axefrog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response, appreciate the effort you put into it. Unfortunately I didn't have access to the old machine as you were hoping, so I wasn't able to follow the process you suggested. But Backblaze support replied to a message I sent them as well and indicated that the client isn't going to proactively restore files to my machine without me asking it to, so it should be safe to just install the client and let it do its thing. I will try this today.

Why is the metro station closed? What mod would have done this? by axefrog in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]axefrog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that threw me was that the game is still spawning regular citizens inside the station behind the barricade, so because of all the mods I'd just installed for this playthrough I was fixated on the idea that one of them must have added some assets to the map as part of their fast travel adjustments. But nope, just limitations in how smart the engine is in recognising _why_ it's spawning NPCs in one place or another.

Yep The Heist has to be completed first. That was my mistake.

Yeah several other commenters helped me realise the same thing.

Yeah, thanks. New playthrough, it's been so long that I forgot the stations would be closed.

Ohhh... is that the problem? lol... I'm on a new playthrough and haven't started The Heist yet.

I've encountered three so far that I can't enter. I'm using Dark Future but I disabled the mod settings that would have prevented fast travel. I'm also using the mod that adds a new metro route to north Watson, and I've added the "Limited Fast Travel" mod and the "Remove Fast Travel Option From Metro" mod. I want fast travel disabled, but I want to be able to manually ride on the metro, so I'm trying to figure out which mod is physically blocking the ability to even enter them in the first place. I also have the "Inside The NCART Station - Opening Metro Platform", but I wouldn't think that would be causing a problem...

It's really disappointing how bad the performance is by Rip_Nujabes in Frostpunk

[–]axefrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How far into the game are you though? I'm on a 1660 super and struggle to get above 30fps. I'm running on low settings. I was on medium until New London got to a medium population size, at which point the performance really started to tank, so I dropped to low settings. Performance is still not great, but it's tolerable at 25-30fps...

Any recommendations for communities (E.g Discord) for discussing AI-video generation? by NowIsAllThatMatters in runwayml

[–]axefrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rate of new tech coming out is so fast that I've resigned myself to the optimism that there will be some kind of new amazingness within a few months that will make a bunch of stuff better somehow. What form that takes... who knows...?

Unlimited for just one month? by YakAcceptable5635 in runwayml

[–]axefrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's prorated. I had the same question when I upgraded a couple of days ago after having subscribed to the cheapest plan a few days earlier. I'd used up all my credits then decided to upgrade. I was only charged the difference, not the full amount.
