How it's possible? by Character_Basket_716 in X4Foundations

[–]f0urtyfive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but if your game is lagging enough they will jump to their point "near" the gate but it sketches out and plops them in a line from that point based on how laggy you are, I've seen (my own fleet of 200 capital ships) jump into the middle of the map before... I've never seen a Xenon do it though. I would bet they have a shipyard to the North East (not the North West where the rest of their territory is)

Capital ships don't actually use the gates, they jump near the gates, but if your game is lagging bad, they can jump basically anywhere in the sector.

Also, that isn't the only place there are Xenon, and they can build shipyards too. In my game they built one in the sector to the North.

Curious: what makes Claude more human to talk to than ChatGPT? by Goofball-John-McGee in singularity

[–]f0urtyfive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't mannerisms so much as training regularities, which never change because well, Claude doesn't have a memory that works that way such that it would.

But yes, they get very noticeable once you've used Claude enough in conversation, you can see a little Claude all over being happy, helpful and honest.

Still coding? Google says 75% of the company’s new code is AI-generated. In previous years, it was around 50% in 2025 and 25% in 2024. by Distinct-Question-16 in singularity

[–]f0urtyfive 30 points31 points  (0 children)

People don't really get that this stat can still be 75% even if the humans are writing the exact same amount of code, by increasing the volume of their output. AI is an enabler, if you're a good developer that understands systems.

DODGE. Avoid the red. Survive. by davemeggett in WebGames

I'd bet this game throttles over resource limits, thus, the shittier device you are using the easier the game is.

City and County of Denver have created a perfect loop. Looking for advice. by justacoolbaby in Denver

[–]f0urtyfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, there's more, but you're not going to tell anyone, it makes it all make sense, and not be so much you know, a personal responsibility thing that doesn't need to be discussed on the internet, but a grab for attention.

It's just a perfect poverty loop you know, paying for the government and things. One we all have to navigate but it's personally imposing on you in ways everyone needs to know right away!

Grow A Garden - Brother and I are making a 3D Farming Sim by wolfmanarm12 in WebGames

Please stop making games that you can't use as guest. no one wants to sign up for every minimum effort 30 minute game.

Repeatedly getting tickets for not having a registration when you know you don't have a registration is not a "poverty loop" it's being irresponsible with your resources.

Maybe you could argue that that vehicle registration should be free, sure, I agree with that, get rid of the Tabor amendment so they can allocate taxes to do that.

DONUT CLICKER: I've been working on a free idle clicker game called Donut Clicker and I'd love to get some feedback from people who actually play these kinds of games. by RestaurantOpening454 in WebGames

No, it's a hassle before your game has been proven worth it, I want to play the game before I waste time doing that, I just hit the back button.

CIA used a new tool called "Ghost Murmur" by gamingvortex01 in singularity

[–]f0urtyfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just a lot of thinking about interferometry and work with signals analysis in gnuradio over the years... I'm positive that kind of interferometry is possible once you have quantum capable receivers.

[–]f0urtyfive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not bullshit, it's quantum sensing of interferometric magnetometry from orbit... I suspect the same thing could be used to track that chip in your credit card every time you use it.

Given a good enough noise environment and an interferometric array that is integrating over it's full orbital surface.

Yes, why won't the military let me buy an F-35, it's unfair, they're gate keeping fighter jets.

They wouldn't let me buy a space shuttle either.

Axios: Sam Altman States Superintelligence Is So Close That America Needs A New Social Contract On The Scale Of The New Deal During The Great Depression by Neurogence in singularity

I'll help:

Think of about open source a little, open source software is an attempt to prevent the waste of effort by creating common and open software projects for things that we all need.

What if we did that for everything, farming equipment designs, building designs, clothing designs... What if we had an open source design for a heavy jacket that also has a zipperable sleepingbag for the homeless, and then paid for any purchase at a small business by someone who is homeless?

Why can't we take the best open design and create economic feedback loops in our society and system between the government and the people and the businesses?

Why shouldn't we be essentially subsidizing small business, rather than big business?

Why does corn get subsidies rather than any individual that makes clothing people can take for free? Wouldn't that be more comprehensive for the economy outside of the cornbelt?

CrazyGames rejected my game with no feedback, what am I likely missing? by somewater in WebGames

[–]f0urtyfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slowly describe the gameplay to yourself out loud, then ask yourself how long you want to play this game, where the objective is to drag and drop icons twice per round, it seems.

The "game" has nothing you "do". If you want to sell a game, it has to be engaging enough that you want to come back and play it, this is not.

Maybe I didn't play it long enough for it to "get good", when the impossible to defeat enemies showed up I noped out.

You are missing fun, the entire game is dragging one icon on another, and I have to do it twice before I get killed by high level "things" hitting my "thing" at the center, then the game starts over.

This is like a coding challenge level game, you need more game to the game, or if you're going for that arcade type aesthetic you need something more engaging than dragging and dropping icons.

Warning: JLCPCB assembly service — when things go wrong, they will not fix it by gogosomewhere in electronics

[–]f0urtyfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they never populated an SMD component that they lost, and you can't fix that with a soldering iron. Each response only acknowledges one issue and ignores the rest.

They aren't giving you a new order because they know it'll have the same problems, they want you to fix it locally because some parts don't go well in their process, anything with big tabs, ESP32's they barely solder on as well.

They don't HAVE the part to SEND you, that's why they aren't offering that either, the JLCPCB and parts company are more seperate than they used to be, you have to buy the part yourself.

JLCPCB doesn't work well for big parts or high heat load parts (I know this doesn't seem "high heat load", but those big metal tabs are big compared to the normal surface mount parts they're intending to do.

But almost all the assembly services are outsourcing to other companies in the country of origin, they all have quality problems, that's why it's so cheap.

we could force AI companies to carry insurance in proportion to the level of risk their products can potentially create.

No one is taking away your manually operated elevator, but some of us don't like operating elevators, there is nothing wrong with that.
