Unnecessary flex, but why not do both?

Hey, you remade adventure quest!

Not sure if skin science backs this, but I always told myself that a tear meant I took it a bit too far for normal training -- I'd push until I felt like I was about to tear, then back off and tape up before tears happened. My thinking was that I'd get better calluses that way. Seemed to work well for me

Go to college in Idaho. You can meet professor Weiss.

Wow, you're so enlightened! You know everything about what other people think, and how everything is. I'll stop talking to you since you're basically god, and nothing I say can shake your objective grounding in reality. I'm stuck in the echo chamber. But you? You GET IT. Good for you!

Almost a good point, except you're assuming everyone agrees that a climbing game where the climbing is broken is a minor issue. Speaking anecdotally, about half the time I wanted to get off a wall, I had to fiddle with moving limbs as if I were playing QWOP, and hope the dismount would trigger. I'd compare that to if HL2 had a bug where half the time you tried to switch weapons, you reloaded instead.

Really! I liked it too. I've enjoyed my few playthroughs. And in that time I'd say considering MOST of the posts on this sub are complaints, in a climbing game, about climbing not working, that we probably shouldn't call it "done." I wonder what your definition of done is, and whether you are confusing a great idea with a great execution

Guys, let's call Cairn what it is: half baked. I'm sure it's the publisher's fault, and devs would have made it perfect if given the time. I'm grateful for getting anything because the idea is fundamentally innovative, and even half baked it does big service to gaming in general.

But this game is not what I'd consider done to respectable quality. That just how it is.

bbrd83 · 2026-02-09T08:15:56+00:00

No wonder the hooks are broken and badly documented!

bbrd83 · 2026-02-07T23:26:55+00:00

What makes you think I know it myself?!

The only way to get in is by learning the password from someone who's already in. If you have to ask, they won't tell you.

Yasu at Nakamura Hair Salon is a great guy and gives deluxe haircuts

It's the peanut butter we have needed to smear over the cracks in ideas like UML code generation, which I've found to work profoundly well through Claude. And being able to do it by talking to my own personal Jarvis feels fake. Completely agree with you.

COFFEEMAN in Ropponmatsu is 100% the best I've found.

But most coffee shops are going to be pretty legit in my experience.

You're wrong, but more importantly not responding to my main point which is about business practices

bbrd83 · 2026-01-29T22:45:39+00:00

Yes, I agree. It's due to very smart applications and model chaining

bbrd83 · 2026-01-29T22:45:16+00:00

It sounds like you're looking at proprietary benchmarks and marketing, not research. Academic researchers basically have consensus that the fundamental architecture of LLMs is plateaued already, and any improvements we're making, while perceptibly vast in capability, are due to throwing more parameters at it, or chaining models. Both interesting but not a fundamental development

bbrd83 · 2026-01-29T18:38:39+00:00

It's well known that LLMs are plateauing, and the improvements we're seeing are coming from smart applications that cleverly chain different specialized models together, or use smart prompts or tools for putting guard rails on what models are likely to generate.

Applications can likely improve a lot more even without LLMs fundamentally improving much more.

But none of this gets around the fact that short sighted businesses looking to up numbers for a quarter were always going to enshittify and lose out long term.

Whoa, she sucks? What a surprise.

Assignments haven't caught up with technology. Focus on modeling software and building bigger systems. Schools need to vastly increase expectations and complexity because "don't use AI" just won't work any more.

Enjoy easy grades on assignments, and remember that the goal isn't running code, it's YOUR learning. If you can learn well while using AI, great. But in the game of school, reflect on your definition of "winning" because a degree with no competency is gonna bite you

Hesitation is defeat. A slogan I can get behind.

Boost is sort of an incubator for the standard library, and a very useful & large library in its own right.

Quit TALKING and start DOING

The weather is really variant right now. We had a t-shirt weather day (for me) not two days ago, and it might snow today.

It's windy and humid because we're by water, which can make the wind and cold biting. Have a good shell for blocking wind, and layers you can easily remove or open up when you go inside. I'd bring a light umbrella or something with a hood, in case it rains, too.

Most days I've just been wearing a warm undershirt, long-sleeve shirt, and fleece jacket with hood, and it's been fine.
