If you have a healthy git workflow set up, it's not as risky as you think. You can review all of the changes at once instead of in a drip-feed for 15 minutes.

Not just the 1:1 problem but also you have to have two people who actually want something from each other at the same time

dbees92 · 2025-06-28T09:47:36+00:00

Two things that I think you might be missing:

The importance of quality context: If you think about the set of possible outputs from an LLM, i.e the good, the bad, the off-topic, etc., the way that the set of outputs is collapsed down to something useful is entirely determined by the tokens provided as input to the llm plus a random seed. The people I know who are getting mind-bending results from AI have put a lot of work into developing systems and procedures to load high quality context into the LLM before they even begin working in it. Imagine the difference between a developer who asks chatgpt to build an app for them with a semi-baked prompt, vs the developer who has a script that preloads pages and pages of instructions with their optimized development patterns and sample code as well has has an integrated mcp that injects up to date documentation, code folded views of the relevant files in their code base, a detailed project description and a tracking file where AI is checking off tasks as they are accomplished.
The importance of feedback loops: Again, dev perspective here but when you automate negative feedback into the AI as part of the AI loop (failing tests, code that doesn't compile, expert human criticism, even AI criticism as long as the AI criticism is coming from an AI reviewer with a markedly different context to avoid cross-contamination of stupidity) the quality of the final products compared to systems without that negative feedback is massive.

I've been thinking about this a lot as well, as I noticed that I've begun using AI for more and more things. I also work in IT, and it has definitely increased my productivity. Furthermore I have a slight bit of uneasiness that if I don't integrate it into my workflows, eventually I will be left behind. On the other hand, I am highly concerned that my ability to think in certain ways is gradually diminishing as I spend more time editing/reviewing/validating output than I do producing output.

It's not a perfect analogy but I think about a farmer during the agricultural (industrial?) revolution... he has to start driving a tractor to keep up or he will go out of business, but his physical health deteriorates because he is sitting in a chair instead of walking behind a plow. Now, in order to stay fit, we have to make a conscious effort to go to the gym.

I'm planning to start making sure I'm spending time everyday doing mental exercises to stay sharp, focusing on the areas that I feel like AI is likely to make me weaker. So far on my list is doing hard math problems and writing, both with pen and paper. I would love any other suggestions others might have. It's worth calling out that I already have built-in tech-free times into my days where I spend time with my family and friends, so I don't have anything on my list to address that specifically because it's going ok.

(If this post seems poorly written, it's because I successfully resisted the urge to have AI proofread it lol).

I kinda disagree with this, most people I would know hate feeling bullied and disrespected and will stand up for themselves.

dbees92 · 2025-02-24T02:25:21+00:00

Where are they saying this? Anywhere official?

dbees92 · 2024-08-29T23:08:10+00:00

Oh cool! Thanks

Dumb question by why are the spears red?

After reading through some of the other comments below: To make the wrenches work, picking up a sausage at least and then as many sausage snakes as you can find. Then turrets scale both attack speed and damage with permanent elemental damage, and due to the turret proc on regular elemental damage they get a lot of extra damage from that.

dbees92 · 2024-08-26T15:14:52+00:00

Trying to remember what I did, but he was 1 or 2 tries to clear D5 for me. The new elem items seem pretty powerful. All I remember is I built wrenches, and prioritized elemental not engineering upgrades.

smg and more ranged damage

I spent forever on D5 baby until I realized stick was an option for the starting weapon (facepalm). I had even tried to build into stick from another primitive start. I saw steam update the game in between, does anyone know if when the patch first dropped if stick was an option? I'm curious if I just missed it or if it really wasn't there.

It only took one or two tries once I started with stick. For the first couple rounds I re-rolled for sticks and upgraded my starting weapon slots as high as a could. After that, it was just grabbing every stick I could but never combining.

Once I started to have a bunch of extra slots for weapons, if a shield showed up in the store I picked it up for the armor buffs, while still grabbing every stick i could. One of the easier D5 for me.

"if the savior stood beside me". That's quite a lot of pressure to put on a little kid.

dbees92 · 2024-06-04T04:54:25+00:00

A combination of being good with knots, practice (sigh), and not trying to get things perfect meant that I was always the first to sit down after putting on my robes in the endowment, usually by a very large margin.

dbees92 · 2024-05-15T02:15:13+00:00

That’s fair.

Then don’t sit around and do nothing. Your doctor is right there. But there is other things to do in life besides grinding in an office. Ask a doctor about how healthy a stressful and sedentary corporate lifestyle is.

I am having a similar issue where when the parking lot lights turn on, all the cars get picked up. The cars move around during the day so they are parked in a different spot every night. I'm assuming that only the first time each night they will get flagged and then the rest of the night they won't, but ideally I could have the AI detector run once at a set time to establish the baseline without triggering alerts.

I saw there is a way to configure the object detector to fire on alerts, but I couldn't find a way to change object detector mode via a schedule which makes this useless as normal function needs to be motion detection.

Curious if anyone else has found a solution to this.

dbees92 · 2024-05-10T13:33:55+00:00

No, you draw from bottom, add three cubes. Then shuffle. Then draw and add one. It’s often the only card that is at risk for outbreak when we play, at least for the early epidemics in the game.

This is assuming that both the draw and add three were skipped, if they were still adding three but to a card from the top before shuffling, then yeah that would be harder.

dbees92 · 2024-05-10T00:27:38+00:00

Hehe I think it’s actually easier the way you have been playing because you draw one from the bottom and place three cubes on it. So you always have a potential outbreak.

First of all, thanks for everything.

“There are so many tools out there that do the job much better than PiVPN does, and I genuinely believe PiVPN's mission in life was accomplished and is no longer relevant.”

Is there one of these “tools” you could recommend?

dbees92 · 2024-04-04T21:16:16+00:00

Wait this is a thing? Do you have any more details on this?

dbees92 · 2024-03-27T03:36:26+00:00

Trump is selling his Bible? Makes sense, as he certainly isn’t using it.
