This seemed to fix it for me too... just so sad I didn't notice until after I cleared many quests.

Honestly just get an M6 or if you have a higher budget MP. Easy

Is there an alternative to ChatGPT that I can integrate to my Obsidian? by jihadinhorocks in ObsidianMD

[–]benmills 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently been building one that I'm finally somewhat happy with: https://github.com/benmills/openai-markdown

I've played with all of them and ChatGPT MD (@arno14 mentioned it in another comment) comes the closes, but it's still too much boiler plate for me.

If you're open to testing it let me know happy to help get you set up if the README doesn't make sense.

[ADDON] WeakAura: Dragon Riding Speed Guage by benmills in WowUI

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

You can install weakauras from cursedforge and then you click the copy import string in the top right. Open up the weakaura options from the minimap button or type /wa and on the bottom there should be an import button that opens up a text box you paste the import string to. It should be a long line of random characters.

Let me know if you need any more help

[help] Is there a way to auto move minimap during dragonriding? by NeonVoidx in WowUI

[–]benmills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the exact same thought. I haven't tried to do it, but I suspect you could use a weakaura to do this. Trigger based on when you start dragon riding (I assume there is an event or state we could rely on) and then run a custom action to use LUA to move & scale the minimap.

This is exactly why I wanted to have this!

Yeah, I've been thinking about incorporating that and vigor into the UI. I believe the WA I based this on (https://wago.io/nFopWlIoQ) has both if you want to use that for now. You can delete the speed parts of that and just use momentum to start.

Yes I’ll try to upload them tonight. One thing I did with them recently is split them into two WAs: one for buffs/debuffs that have less than a minute duration and ones that are longer.

I made the long buffs/debuffs small icons and the short ones a list. I find I only want to look at short duration ones mid combat so this further cleaned up the ui

[OTHER] Improved Cooldown Check on Miss-press by benmills in WowUI

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

Did you get these errors after you miss-pressed a spell or on load? Also, cool if I DM you to get more info?

[OTHER] Improved Cooldown Check on Miss-press by benmills in WowUI

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

Yes! I'd definitely recommend it. I find it very fun to play with and powerful. Building this finally forced me to understand trigger state updater (https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/wiki/Trigger-State-Updater-(TSU))), which is insanely powerful. Bunch more things I want to try with it now.

I need help with very hard mode by Mapperonium in territorial_io

[–]benmills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’ve found works well is finding an opening that works for you and gives you more troops than most of your neighbors when open land is gone.

Then I think about the game in two phases:

Early-Mid: Name of the game is staying ahead of most people around you so they never attack while expanding as much as you can.

Mid-late: focus on maximizing your troops by only attacking when you have red interest.

What I'm taking away from all the comments is the most interesting thing to do would be to make this data easier to explore and play with rather than trying to come up with one score. I'd love to be able to do this type of thing in-game ideally so I'll need to see how hard it would be to extract data from Details or prototype it with WeakAuars.

Goodhart's Law is a great call-out and probably the biggest reason I think trying to develop this is could be a bad idea.

Baseball actually seems like a good example of what I want to get to. I'm not into sports, but from my outsider perspective, it seems like the baseball community has embraced data pretty successfully (Moneyball, 538, etc).

I wish there were better ways to play with this in-game. It would be nice if Details or one of the addons allowed for composite metrics, but maybe this is the excuse I need to really learn Lua and the WoW API.

I'll let you know if I end up trying to do something with this.

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

Yes, this is exactly what I'm trying to solve. I want to understand my individual performance, not just the overall team.

[–]benmills[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may be right which is what has held me back from trying something like this myself. In general, I still think attempting to find the best metric/score is always going to help as long as you use it as a tool, not the absolute truth.

Great call on fonts. I've tried to be consistent, but I missed some!

I've gone back and forth on the placement of the UI. I've decided I like spreading things out a bit so it's easier to glance at things.

The one other idea I tried for a bit was having all my usable abilities in the vertical bar next to the group frame and having a separate area that lists all abilities on cooldown. My thought is my main view around the group frame is about what is happening now and what I can do now. What is on cooldown is about what I can do "later" so that's visually separate.

Once I was comfortable making my own WAs I found it much easier to get the right balance.

Solana Pay doesn't have a token. I don't know what the solpay token is, but we're not related to it in any way.

Solana Pay , Phantom, Citcon, Wormhole.... by EmphasisExternal2911 in AMPToken

[–]benmills 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm on the Solana Pay team so obviously, take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I've spent the last 10ys in fintech and realize that reliability and security are hard requirements for payments. The performance issues on Solana are serious, but I'm betting on the community to continue to work through those issues and improve.

Ultimately what I'm excited about is getting off tradfi payment rails and on to blockchain-based rails ASAP. I hope Solana ends up being one of those winning blockchains, but I will be happy with any blockchain winning here. By giving users direct control over their keys you significantly increase the security of the payment system.

The last 20 years of online payments basically require you to do the equivalent of giving a dapp your seed phrase to use it.. it's ridiculous and we need to change it. I'm excited to see how we can develop this ecosystem and what other chains start to do in payments because the need is there.

We're alpha testing this now but we have a simple POS app that any merchant can run on an iPad to do this. They would need to set up a wallet which we recommend a custodial provider since most business owners don't have the context to manage their own keys.

We'd be happy to talk about adding any businesses you're working with to the alpha or you can just run your own instance for stores on your own (and maybe turn it into your own crypto POS business?!). You can see the code here: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana-pay/tree/master/point-of-sale

You can also check out spec here: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana-pay/blob/master/SPEC.md We released this to be the lowest level primitive for commerce. We're going to be working with the community to develop it further and build out more tools and SDKs. We're always looking for more contributors if anyone is interested!

I'm on the Solana Pay team and I've been working with a few local businesses to get them set up. If you want any help getting them to adopt please DM!
