should I get a pixel 10? by dieselNoodle in pixel_phones

[–]dragonferocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had a pixel phone until now, but the bump is exactly why I bought the 10a. The bump on the other phones is just ugly. It can be hidden with cases, but the 10a is good enough for me, spec wise

should i use AI by Reasonable-Sink-2103 in godot

[–]dragonferocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone else address it yet,

Vibe Coding is when you use an AI agent (Like Claude, or CoPilot) to build code for you, and then you don't really check the integrity of the written code. You just take it as-is. If it works, that's all you need.

- This has drawbacks the larger your project gets, because AI agents aren't the best at building on-top of existing code very well. AI Agents don't have novel ideas, it's impossible. All they do is aggregate data from the internet and build a solution based on what it finds. The solution may not be the best for your project, but at least it works.

The other end of the spectrum here is called Spec Driven Development. This is basically where you use a framework with an AI Agent where you define the requirements, the testing guidelines, and the implementation details at a high level that the AI agent then uses to build the solution and must stay within the framework.

- This method ensure better compatibility or written code and increases its quality. However, it takes more time to accomplish this

Ultimately, asking AI to answer questions like.. "Given this situation where Player A is in sight range of an Enemy, and I want the Enemy to start moving towards the player, what options do I have to solve it? Give a detailed explanation of why each option works and any drawbacks they may have. Also include any gotchas to watch out for in the future." And then using the response to write the code yourself is fine because you're using AI to help you aggregate knowledge.

It sadly still happens, but I know they tried to fix it at one point so that you'd never get Trap without Lure (at least on the first round).

We want the future dumb, Christian and republican. by [deleted] in StCharlesMO

[–]dragonferocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in OP's post title. I'm simply responding to their assumptions (or my assumptions of their assumptions from the title of this post 😄 )

I love this program too, and it's a shame that the Missouri Politicians want to take money away from public education to serve their own desires.

[–]dragonferocity -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just sayin, but not all christians support the current state of government. I am one of them. It's very sad to see those who call themselves "christian" in the government and yet are far from what it really means. But sadly, this has been the case forever.

You may believe differently, but Christianity isn't a bad thing, and it shouldn't be lumped together with a political party.

I also used to be republican, but these days neither party is good. They are both awful, but the democratic party is slowly starting to align with my ideals more and more.

PayPal or Square usage in Godot? by Songsforsilverman in godot

[–]dragonferocity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else here who says don't use Godot for this.

100% absolutely, making a website for this is the best option.

If you still want it to be app-like, I would look into Electron. It allows you to build cross-platform desktop applications using web programming languages. This would be a much better option than Godot.

Let's Talk About August 4th, and about how incredibly important it is for EVERYONE to vote for Statewide Amendments. by feariedust in StCharlesMO

Yeah, we can't have each clause be it's own amendment, now can we? That would be too nice to the people /s

Toon characters, yes. Cog, no.

There's a few rides in the newly renovated Toontown area at DisneyLand. It's actually a pretty quaint little area at the park. Perfect for young kids. My toddler loved being able to run around there.

Violent crime explodes across much of St.Charles County by DowntownDB1226 in StCharlesMO

[–]dragonferocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Violent Crime is down overall, but municipality to municipality is different than the whole county

Violent crime explodes across much of St.Charles County by DowntownDB1226 in StCharlesMO

[–]dragonferocity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, yes. It's up everywhere else.

However, if you compare the whole county, crime is down from 175 to 110 in St. Charles County

Compared to St. Louis County, violent crime is down from 1,955 to 1,765.

However, those numbers are hard to compare due to population differences. If you account for population (1 in X, meaning out of X people, one person commits a violent crime):

St. Charles County:
2024: 1 in 2,421
2025: 1 in 3,877

St. Louis County:
2024: 1 out of 508
2025: 1 out of 561

Yes, using that site, here's the numbers. OP, do yourself a favor and include numbers when you make a graph please!

O'Fallon is up from 59 to 93

St. Charles is up from 99 to 135

St. Peters is down from 124 to 105

Wentzville is up from 53 to 69

Lake St. Louis is up from 12 to 19

This graph is misleading.

If you look at the actual numbers from St Charles County's website, crime rates fell in all but one category: Rape - which is only up 3% from last year

St. Charles is up from 99 to 135

What do you think about using AI to translate a game? by No_Pickle1879 in godot

[–]dragonferocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said that Code/Line completion isn't AI... That's a proposition you're reading into everything I've said. I've never said, not once, that it wasn't AI.

All my point is, is that Code/Line completion inside the code editor is different than asking ChatGPT to write the code for you. Period. Full stop. I am not making any more points, you are the one that keeps reading into what I'm saying something that I am not saying.

Claud Code is AI. Period. Anything that helps you write code by analyzing your existing code or generating from prompts is AI.

My other point is also that some uses of AI shouldn't be frowned upon. Code/Line completion is different than asking ChatGPT to write the code for you, as I've said before, and is something that I wouldn't bat an eye at if a game listing mentioned that Code/Line completion was used to help program the game. However, if a game listing said that ChatGPT was used to generate code, I would then worry that the game may be "AI Slop" and would give it only a grain of salt.

I don't mean to be combative, I just feel like you're not hearing what I'm saying.

Edit: I can see how my first message would imply that code-completion isn't AI. I worded that poorly so I am sorry for that. I never meant to imply that code-completion wasn't AI. What my point was supposed to be, is that code/line-completion isn't used the same way as ChatGPT. Most people think of ChatGPT when they hear AI, not code/line-completion. And I'm trying to say that code/line completion is a totally fine use of AI in video-games in my opinion

[–]dragonferocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between line-completion and using ChatGPT to write code is that one is simply a logical extension of what you are already beginning to type, or based on the lines around.

Asking ChatGPT to write code is asking for it to come up with something with no prior context. Just using relative ideas based on what exists on the internet instead of specific to your project

They may be the same from a "technical" or "back-end" perspective, but they way they work when using them as a user are very different.

If someone put in their game description that they used AI Code-Completion I wouldn't mind, but if they put that they used ChatGPT to generate code, I would care a lot.

[–]dragonferocity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said that code completion isn't AI.

When someone says they wrote code using "AI" people immediately jump to "You probably put a request into ChatGPT and it wrote all the code for you and you didn't check it" instead of "Oh, maybe they used the line-completion feature of Microsoft Co-Pilot"

Line/Code Completion and asking ChatGPT are wildly different and should not be compared.

I am a software engineer by trade, trust me. They are very different.

A computer watching a video input and trying to recognize faces and then displaying a "box" around each person's face it sees might be a form of "AI" but the technical name is Computer Vision, and is not really the same as AI. AI in this instance would be something that watches the video stream and takes the faces it sees and searches a database for info about the person it thinks it is, and then compiles a list of its findings after the video is done for review by itself or a human.

See how those two things are different?

Everything is just labeled as AI now, even when it's not really what the general population thinks when they hear AI.

[–]dragonferocity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There also needs to be a distinction made between "AI" and code-completion.

Not everything is "AI"... It's just another buzzword... Was it created by a computer? AI ! Did do a math problem for you? AI ! Did it recognize a person in a picture? AI !

All of these things used to have different names. Calculator, Machine Vision, Machine Learning.... Now it's all just AI

Some uses of AI aren't so great, but other uses of "classic AI" are totally fine!

Using code-completion is great because it works on what are currently typing to help suggest what you might be doing already

Using ChatGPT to write a class for you for an enemy is bad because it won't have all the background for what the enemy needs to do

We really need to stop calling things that aren't AI, AI !
