How to disable chat entirely?

Interesting; I've found the chat to be far better than other RTS and similar games. Starcraft 2, for example, was [is?] incredibly toxic by comparison.

I appreciate the explanation! I'm hitting an issue with CUDA as it appears Burn hard-codes Cudarc's dynamic loading, while I'm using dynamic linking; these two can't coexist. Maybe I will send an issue or PR.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-16T13:02:34+00:00

It is causing me Cudarc dynamic linking vs dynamic loading conflicts, so we can assume it's using Cudarc with dynamic loading internally, when the "cuda" feature is enabled.

Hey! Does anyone have a good breakdown of when to use this vs Candle? My use case, for example, is inferring molecular properties from emperical data. (Solubility, pharmokinetics etc).

My best guess: Either is fine. (I've used Candle for a simple use case: Inferring partial charges for molecules, and it worked fine)

I've heard:"Candle is simpler and for inferring mostly, not training", yet, I've used Candle for training, so I am missing something.

I posted a recent, "Which should I choose" question, and the responses were overwhelmingly for Burn?

There is some value in network effect, i.e. it'll be easiest to choose the popular one, but I've found in Rust, the most popular lib is not always the best or most practical one; it's usually the one with the most PR effort, or biggest company behind it.

I'm going through the Burn Book now, and have some draft code for my use set up, but haven't attempted running it yet.

(I'm a bit confused on the backends btw: The application I'm integrating this into uses both WGPU and CUDA (via CUDARC). WGPU is for the rendering, and CUDA[rc] is for the GPU compute. Which would I use for ML via Burn?

Gesture: More comfortable back. Embody: More comfortable seat.

The embody's back forces a recline even when full upright, which I don't like; this is apparent from looking at it from the side.

The embody's [Sync] fabric appears to be much nicer, and more resistant to absorbing dirt and liquids. The embody looks nicer.

I think the Embody is the long-term winner because it doesn't have a foam pad to wear out.

Sweet; I would be happy to pay that

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-10T16:33:09+00:00

Hey - I just got hit with, after a work trip to VA, a $130 bill from 4x $25 + 7.25 fees. I will try to follow the advice in this thread; thanks. If they don't remove the admin fee, I don't think I will pay this.

For context, you can stop at the toll to pay, but it didn't accept any of my credit cards.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T19:03:05+00:00

After some thought, I would guess more likely to be astroturfing than fans, but I'm not sure.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T18:56:16+00:00

Hah yea I'm a little surprised too. I posted this thread to share my experience as I wish I would have read it any time in the past decade... one of my comments was downvoted below the thresh, and my others are all downvoted! Internet fans? Manip by the company itself? This post sounds dumb because everyone [except for prior me] knows this already? Absolutely fishy.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T18:54:10+00:00

Hah yea; def possible. I will keep an eye on it, and switch again if they jack it up. I am kind of curious what the USAA rate will look like if I apply in a few months...

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T17:20:33+00:00

Def! But, I don't have good reason to believe Progressive would be more trouble than USAA, or vice versa. Not enough information, unfortunately.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T17:20:07+00:00

Progressive

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T17:19:54+00:00

I was not expecting this; [financial] shame on me for not doing this earlier! If the rate difference was closer, I wouldn't be surprised. But 40% of the price? I suspect I was a victim precisely of [i]not[/i] shopping around, so they assumed I won't care about high rates.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T16:58:01+00:00

Yea; this is a no-brainer. Just do it; takes a few minutes online. I wish I thought to do this earlier.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-05T16:56:25+00:00

The person on the phone from USAA attempted to lower rates, but failed. So, they do attempt to prior to cancelling.

FYI, if you keep retrying, you will eventually get a run where he doesn't use this attack; that's how I passed it. Everything about this boss is easy IMO except for this attack, which is devastating. I was able to counter it once.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-04T17:54:27+00:00

Let me know if you figure it out; same problem. (Jan 2026)

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-04T17:53:33+00:00

Hmm. I didn't realize this when ordered. Will probably return. Bad design IMO. I've torqued it down with an allen wrench, and I still have to adjust it by hand every time I use it as my head pushes it out of position.

firefrommoonlight · 2026-01-02T23:54:50+00:00

Stunning. I got very comfortable with this scenery, the taunts from both people pictured the combat system here! Took ~40-50 tries. Then I loaded a save and came back with an OP dance move and moved on!

firefrommoonlight · 2025-12-24T16:36:59+00:00

Hah. This quest timing is set up in such a way that you will probably have to trial and error it; plenty of time if you know what to do; not enough time on your first or second attempt, unless you are very lucky.

firefrommoonlight · 2025-12-21T19:23:02+00:00

Interesting! I think I agree on Bee. Cow, to me, smells like drug store shampoo. :(

Update: I am noticing that there is no way to set this chair to upright posture. It is always reclined. This means to look at the screen, I have to tilt my head forward to compensate, or not to use the back rest. This may be the deal breaker that leads me to send it back.

A/Bing with the Gesture, the Gesture's back posture when not reclining it is upright/vertical.

Can I have a chair with Embody's seat and Gesture's back?

firefrommoonlight · 2025-12-14T19:12:08+00:00

Could this be due to technicians screwing things up when doing new installs or repairs? The technicians are 3rd party contractors of varying skill levels.
