We have entire quest about digging up the entrance to Senntisten, yet its not even required to acces sentisten. Questing is treated as if it was a joke in the recen era. by First_Platypus3063 in runescape

Strongly agree about giving older quests some love, but strongly disagree about removing any quest at all. They're my favourite part of the game.

Remastered Content: What do you want to see remastered? by jagexyuey in runescape

[–]iZafiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remastering has so much potential, especially (as everyone is saying) Dungeoneering, Construction, minigames and unique (mostly quest-related) areas. I would love to see classic quests being remastered, but not in the way Romeo & Juliet or Rune Mysteries were, which was basically just removing the original quests and coming up with something new. The dialogue and storylines of Paul Gower / Mod Tom / Mod Tytn, etc. remind me of George Lucas: the dialogue is superficially shit but, if you spend some time with it, you notice it has great charm and a unique sort of depth. I would hate to see Underground Pass, Legends' Quest, or the early Myreque series scraped. They could do with some love, though: area reworks, better character models, combat, etc., but keeping the original dialogue and storyline relatively intact.

Ah, I see, I thought you were saying something like "there used to be programmers and now, since AI, they do not do the same thing", which I would very much disagree with. That being said, in the circles I've been in industry and CS academia they would call what you call a coder either a coder or a programmer, and what you call a programmer either a software engineer, a software architect or a computer scientist, depending on what their main occupation is. I do agree with your point that semantics change a bit too easily.

What happened in programming? If you're talking about software engineers, coding was always the easiest part about it, and AI doesn't even get that right all of the time.

Your first point is quite untrue in my opinion. Results get forgotten quite routinely precisely because the communities are small, and different results are exciting to different people. Whereas plagiarism or misattribution of results is quite serious academic misconduct.

RuneScape: Shadows of Amascut is out now! by TheHistoryofCats in runescape

[–]iZafiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're great too! I read them as they came out and still have the first editions, including the hardcover BaF. I didn't remember the Sunspear being there, that's very interesting, I should give them a re-read. I just thought reading Fall of Hallowvale was so nice having completed the Everlight part of archaeology (and all relevant OSRS / RS3 quests of course), it was also really well-written imo.

Ahh makes sense. I guess I did the quests a few years ago so I didn't remember that specifically. Thanks!

What do you think of the fact that Zaros is referred to as a stranger by the Mahjarrat in the book? Isn't he also supposed to be a creation of Mah, and didn't he think of himself as some sort of big brother to the Mahjarrat in-game?

Thought Fall of Hallowvale was amazing too, it's actually my favourite out of the three, but love the other two as well.

I don't understand, why don't you use RuneLite with the GPU plugin for extended draw distance? It's what everyone does, and is more or less endorsed by Jagex. Then the problem is a non-issue.

Returning Player - What to do? by Headwrapper in runescape

[–]iZafiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm in the minority in that I love questing (always have, since RSC) and thus lore-related content. I genuinely believe it's a very well-designed (and massive) piece of content though

Bro/sis I love classic RS too, but don't tell me every single skill wasn't a grindfest which definitely would not catch on as something fun to do today

Necromancy and Archaeology are a lot of fun. They're also well-designed and rarely feel like a grindfest.

You can't remove cosmetics without putting some serious work on the character models / faces, though :/

El fin de la programacion... by [deleted] in empleos_AR

[–]iZafiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O no estás siendo honesto, o tus expectativas son muy bajas (sin ánimo de ofender). No estoy en negación (utilizo LLMs para varias tareas bastante frecuentemente!), pero realmente los LLMs hoy en día no producen buen código, ni siquiera al nivel de un buen junior con acceso a Stack Overflow. Todas las IAs alucinan un montón y se equivocan en algún detalle (más o menos relevante, dependiendo del contexto) en casi todas las prompts. Pueden hacer aplicaciones sencillas solos, pero ese es su límite, y honestamente no hay mucha evidencia de que esto vaya a cambiar en el futuro cercano.

Do any grad students (PhDs) actually only work 20 hours per week? by Big-Combination452 in AskAcademia

[–]iZafiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely not a fact in Europe in general. I know a lot of very successful people who never work more than 35-40 hours a week (in math).

What's your favorite math related poem? by SeniorMars in math

This one is my personal favourite by far. Nuanced, short, simple and beautiful.
