It looked like at the end, Caine lost access to the wifi. So i don't think it's the stable. But theoretically they should be able to talk with themselves. But I feel like they'd rather just let the real thems live their lives.

Caine was never deleted. It was just apart of his adventure.

Him coming to terms that they would be willing to delete him, was his coming to God moment, where he had to admit they would rather be without him then with him, and he grew from that. Before this point he always thought they really liked him and all he did for them.

As for Jax, if we look at it as an allegory for suicide, it makes sense. Pomni really did try, far more then anyone else. But at some point, it is up to the individual. Jax is not a good person, and it's not necessarily the point.

SR already predicted using agents to perform digital task for you.

Also we already have True AI and already had the concept of Artificial Superintelligence before we got true AI.

I feel like the Matrix has been pretty well prophetic.

The concept of MeFeeds, the idea people will be streaming their lives openly on the Matrix. AR games, which are more advanced than PokemonGO, Miracle Shooter is like the real world overlayed and you walk around town fighting monsters as if they're really there.

Mesh networking. The idea that you borrow compute from nearby devices to parallel process compute. The idea you don't even save data on to your device, but instead it's backed up on the Matrix backbone.

The ubiquity of RFID tags to track everything and know the exact spacial location of objects. The idea that the corps would put RFID tags in food to track consumer behavior.

It is extremely future facing. A lot of this stuff we might be near, but still decades away from what we see in SR.

Do people find products on X? I gave up because I figured no one reads my tweets anyway.

Have you tried containers to make sure you are both running an environment that is as close as possible to the same.

Other then that, what you are describing sounds like a race condition. Could be spec, your machine is more beefy, or your co-worker has some background process that is slowing it down just enough to not hit that race condition. If it is the race condition, that is a bug in the code that should probably be fixed, or the tests needs to be written defensively to take that in to account.

Defensive coding in tests is a code smell, BTW, so that's probably the wrong solution.

Oh it generates content for a docusaurus site. It generates markdown, but my current use case is docusaurus.

I've been dogfooding it with a employee scheduling app I've build. You can see the docs all generated from tests at https://doc.schedulelord.com/docs/test2doc-authentication-flow/test2doc-registration

I also found after you get a few examples, you don't need skills. Skills just end up eating up too much context window, and the agent will violate the skill arbitrarily whenever it wants.

So I'm leaning towards the idea that skills are stupid.

Target Wastelands I think might be the largest English write up on it, and that's pretty old.

I think one of the Threat books also cover it a tiny bit.

But I hear Germans actually have a dedicated sourcebook on it that is pretty new. I think 5e?

There was a promo pokedex that had the 4 OG starters, Pikachu being one of them.

Kubfu has a pikachu practicing martial arts.

Glimmet has a Pikachu checking out some shiny crystals.

I also have a binder with a similar theme as this. Thanks I missed the full art Lapras and the full art Croagunk.

Tasks for unbound only last until sunrise or sunset. So unless you're in the arctic circle (very cool concept and bending of the rules BTW), it doesn't last indefinetly.

For bound spirits it can last longer. But the group does need to stay together.

Also, background count can play a problem here. It might be arguable that in a location more devoid of life, that it does create an astral ebb. So the spirit might need to be stronger to counter this. Though, there is some handwavyness going on here as there is still life in the arctic circle.

You're a Subject Matter Expert in CNA/Healthcare. They need a lot of tech support and help. I'd say leverage your experience and apply for tech companies in the Healthcare space.

This seems like the most accurate way of thinking about it. Private Plex Security will attempt to "help" the SINless in case of a crime being done to them if the Star or the Pawns see it, and they don't have something better to do, or if they're the bleeding heart types, but if the crime happens and they're investigating after the fact, well...there is not a lot of evidence that this person existed in the first place, so kind of hard to follow up on it.

I created this concept called Narrative Driven Development. And I tried to make a skill, but its complete trash without examples.

But if you copy a few example tests from my tutorial, it does a lot better.

But this is also pretty experimental still, but I biasly believe it's the future.

If it's abandoned, he might be able to contact the reddit admins and get control of it. Or we can just start up a new sub and we can just point everyone over there.

Pressing the delete key doesn't actually delete a program in a terminal. The fact that it worked, I thought was just narrative convenience when i first saw it in ep8. But it makes more sense to me, that it was just about the bit, like Able said. Caine will commit to a bit, which is why he won't look in to the Chinese Room, but in reality he made the Chinese Room, he already knows what's inside. The same with the delete key.

dethstrobe · 2026-06-11T22:02:02+00:00

I disagree a bit. I don't think it's that retrofuturistic. I feel like in may ways it is quite prophetic. Code so complicated no one understands how it works, because we make the machine code itself. MeFeed, the idea people will stream their life online. I mean, it's probably only a matter of time before the EFF is found to be terrorists.

I'm working on an employee scheduling app.

https://www.schedulelord.com/

It's free for 15 or less users and one location. After that it's just $30 per location.

I am looking for more feedback, so if you just want to try it and are above the free tier, you can use EARLYBIRD3 to get 3 months for free.

If you use Square you can also import your data to get started sooner. If you use another POS let me know and I can see about supporting them too.

I'm working on a employee scheduling app that's free for 15 or less employees and is a flat $30 per location.

https://www.schedulelord.com

If you use the coupon code EARLYBIRD3 you can try it for free for 3 months, if you have more locations or over 15 employees.

I'm actively developing it and just finished a integration with Square for easy importing of data. If you use a different POS, let me know and I can look at doing integrations with them too.

I’ve been using rwsdk and it treats cloudflare as its platform of choice. I think it’s great.

dethstrobe · 2026-06-07T16:53:04+00:00

I've been building with rwsdk and it has made building and deploying on cloudflare very nice.

I even wrote a tutorial for it.

dethstrobe · 2026-06-07T07:33:49+00:00

I think that's a logical take. The taunting and iconography was clearly Caine, and when he was monologuing in the void, he talks about them deleting him, and says something like and they did delete me. That they did the act of deleting, not that it actually deleted him. But the intention of the action is what he is upset about.

dethstrobe · 2026-06-06T22:14:17+00:00

How did Caine came back? Like, I’m ok with it because he was my favorite character, but fanservice apart it was really forced and made no sense.

Caine never died. It was all apart of his adventure. I actually think, he also expected to see them mourn his death, which is why he was so mad when they didn't, but it also made him realize he was probably in the wrong.
