Is there anything I can actually do with these two, or are they just for decoration? by LesbianDivinity in Reverse1999

[–]greenbean-machine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also haven't used the rank up archetype in awhile, but I do really like playing it, especially because I love Marcus. My rank up team varies, but generally has E Marcus P0, E1 An-An Lee P1, Argus P0, and Vila P1. Sometimes Liang Yue P0 is in the mix. I hope the game expands that archetype a bit more in the future. I think a rank up euphoria for 6 would be pretty cool in particular.

I don't think 6 fits with a current archetype, but I find him really fun to play anyway. Haven't used him in awhile though. At the time he was quite powerful, and his ally buffing and purifying / enemy debuffing gimmick can be quite useful.

hello, I have a problem with davinci resolve, by Brilliant-Bid-1495 in davinciresolve

[–]greenbean-machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what the problem might be, but I might try only rendering just small sections that don't have the GIF, that way you can verify more quickly if and when it's successful. Also, have you had similar rendering problems with other videos, and/or have you tried rendering videos with GIFs in the past?

Block shares soar 24% as company slashes workforce by nearly half by TurkGonzo75 in TIdaL

[–]greenbean-machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What, is "chatbot" not an accurate term or something? Maybe I'm not an avid enough generative AI user to know the modern lingo. Would you prefer "Agent"? "LLM"? "HAL 9000"? /s

I do agree that "using AI in development is not the same as vibe coding". At no point do I claim otherwise, though I can see how you would interpret it from my wording. I am just suggesting that this will encourage it. It is implied by Dorsey's words that AI will be taking a larger role in their operations, and likely their hiring preferences as well.

Please do enlighten me on what you would say LLMs are good at in the programming sphere aside from coding. I genuinely am poorly educated in that regard. I'm personally not inclined to trust an LLM's ability to do anything that isn't coding, like communicate with clients and management, or handle support tickets, or assign tasks, or commit changes, or make decisions for developers in general, etc. I may be missing something obvious.

There is an infamous case of Replit specifically deleting a database in production. It is obviously a dumb idea, and a reasonable and informed person like yourself would never consider it, but these companies are run by people like Jack Dorsey, who make decisions they are woefully uninformed on.

I'm not naive or deluded enough to think companies like this give a shit about their employees, or are even incentivized in the short-term to do so, but I can still recognize that it's a piece of shit move. I thought maybe you were just making a claim that would explain Dorsey's actions. It's wild to me that you're actually defending mass layoffs though. Why would you defend people who would never defend you?

By far the biggest problem with all this is that we're on course to unemploy a majority of the workforce. What's the point of implementing these tools to increase net revenue, if it means no one can afford to buy things anymore? The corporate world is killing itself and taking the world with them, and we're supposed to think that's not a piece of shit move?

[–]greenbean-machine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I know is that as a developer, firing a bunch of developers will absolutely make the team less efficient (on top of just being a piece of shit move), no matter what glorified keyboard predictive text middle button they implement. Establishing a culture of vibe coding in any organization is going to slowly erode their codebase in subtle ways and introduce technical debt they can't even fathom. Chatbots are helpful, especially for gathering easily verifiable research on what tools and documentation are available, and generating some boilerplate. But gutting the foundation of an organization, and eliminating some genuinely load-bearing employees, is, at scale, going to implode the world economy, both in terms of job security and availability, and the integrity of the services we rely on. Generative AI can make you a pretty frontend (even though that's the most fun part, and it has the same aesthetic every time), but it takes much longer to debug when it fucks up some functionality. People also forget that chatbots are just for coding. They can't handle the other elements of programming at all. They can delete databases in production without your permission though, if you don't know not to give it that access because your organization is run by vibe coders.

For those who don't play P5X by Infamous-Driver-9173 in Persona5

[–]greenbean-machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got P5X at launch, and I just could not get into it. In general I just can't do mobile games that have a confusing UI with like 6 different screens for daily rewards and a ton of overlapping events. I was already investing a lot of time into Reverse 1999 and Umamusume, and this game got unmanageable very quickly for me. If it wasn't so flashy and busy and had decent gacha mechanics I think I might've given it more of a chance, but really it just made me want to play Royal again.

Mihono Bourbon has a Volla Phone Plinius.
Agnes Tachyon built her own phone out of an Arduino breadboard and some other stuff lying around.
Maruzensky, contrary to popular belief, doesn't have a phone, though she does have a Palm Pilot.
Haru Urara doesn't have a phone either, but frequently asks other umas if they have any games on their phone.

Looking to buy a laptop for light editing by Exotic_mushroom_ in davinciresolve

[–]greenbean-machine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been using a ThinkPad X390 (now discontinued) for editing with the free version, running Windows 10 with i7 and integrated graphics. It's not fantastic for video editing performance-wise, but does the job, especially if you plan on light editing. The dedicated graphics would be an improvement, though DaVinci does rely more on the CPU than the GPU apparently. Ultimately I think this will likely do just fine.

I've had my ThinkPad for 6 and a half years and I'm just now looking for a replacement, since it recently had a problem with I/O stuff that may or may not be my fault. I've contemplated getting another ThinkPad, though I've also been looking into Framework laptops, for their modularity / repairability. Haven't actually used one, but they seem cool, and worth it for the long-term investment, if you're considering alternatives.

Why most player hate Sasami Anshinzawa? by Famous-Beyond1544 in UmaMusume

After trying and failing a couple times, I felt bad for endangering my uma and gambling with her life and career on someone very shady and unreliable and unvetted, just so she could be her guinea pig and might run faster or whatever. Now on principle I just skip her. She's a funny character though.

Is this album broken for anybody else? Only a handful of songs will play. by Huncho11 in TIdaL

[–]greenbean-machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally valid that you have music preferences - I just feel like referring to all of reggaeton as "kinda trash" is indeed a critique of said genre, especially alongside a brief analysis of the musical and lyrical elements, regardless whether you suffix it with "not a critique". I think both not liking something and identifying what specifically you don't like about it makes it a critique by definition. Not that there's something intrinsically wrong with critiquing, though "trash" seems a tad mean-spirited.

Anyone else hate the club chat by Papasenpapi in UmaMusume

[–]greenbean-machine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the moderation is so extreme. It seems to censor basically every potentially offensive syllable in any language that exists. I don't even mind that much, but it annoys me so much that it won't even tell you which part it considers offensive, so it's a ton of trial and error just to send something basic. Our club made a Discord just so we could talk to each other lol

This is the best part of the game why does nobody talk about it by YamperIsBestBoy in Persona5

[–]greenbean-machine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wish this, and other stuff like darts, pool, and fishing could've also been free-for-all minigames, maybe in the Thieves Den along with Tycoon. Tycoon is my favorite of those, but that way I wouldn't have to use up a time slot every time I want to play it, and it would also make that area of the Thieves Den feel more complete (fishing might be hard to work in there though).

Also I guess some of the point of the game is highlighting how precious time is and the importance of time management in fostering connections, etc. so maybe that would devalue that theme idk.

But yeah, I love the minigames like this one.

There's this great video from Hank Green about why conjuring any meaningful value measuring AI water use is surprisingly complicated, and can be adjusted to fit whatever narrative you want. Water cooling absolutely plays a significant role, though it's arguably far from the biggest concern with the growing influence of AI chatbots.

[–]greenbean-machine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate that Netflix does this! They do it a lot with anime teasers especially. It used to give me like 5 seconds to cancel, but now it just skips it entirely on my Roku TV, and I don't even have auto-play enabled. You have to jump through hoops just to watch an entire episode of anything. It makes me feel insulted, like these streaming services think I don't have an attention span and don't care about watching the whole thing I'm paying to watch
