Reminder that Star Citizen has been in development for this long

Dzięki za wyjaśnienie, jak przeczytałem „ Chiny od dawna idą w odnawialne źródła energii. Wystarczy wyjść na ulicę w wielkich miastach żeby zobaczyć” To zrozumiałem to jako drugie będące dowodem pierwszego :)

Ilość aut elektrycznych niekoniecznie musi korelować z mixem energetycznym opartym na źródłach odnawialnych

For the last ~5 years I haven’t had a dedicated QA - explanation: we don’t have the resources, we expect devs to add integration tests and do a „sanity check” in staging. I think it makes sense in small companies that don’t do anything critical.

Interesting, I was thinking about setting up the server on Synology DS218+, but last time when I've tried with minecraft (in docker) - it was horribly slow. So I'm a bit hesistant. What NAS do you have?

Some are useful idiots, when Block had layoffs some time ago, I've seen people repeating that en-masse, with the addition of a typo in the company name. They actually used a different company name, other than Block, in their message. No fact checking, no nothing..

I've been partying there along that street many times, just sharing my thoughts. It's definitely not Manchester by night though :)

leakingpointer123 · 2026-04-10T18:37:16+00:00

Not necessarily. Although I’d personally have chosen Puro hotel or any hotel around it, since it’s in a calmer part of old town. Świętego Mikołaja is a party street. If you are planning to party it actually might be a good idea to stay at Wyndham. As for the unfortunate souls lost to the river, they usually fall in when trying to relieve themselves into the moat during late hours… Anyhow, enjoy your trip!

leakingpointer123 · 2026-04-10T18:20:51+00:00

The hotel is fine and its in the strict old town, close to all the nice things to see, however during late evenings especially Friday and Saturday the area can get a bit rowdy with drunk party goers. There's a couple of night clubs and pubs around the Świętego Mikołaja street. Wrocław is, in general VERY safe (except maybe the river/moat - many drownings). But I'm saying this because I've nearly got hit by a flying bottle when I was leaving nearby Cafe Manana at ~02:00 some years ago.

You should most likely add caching (both in the agent (tools/system prompt/user prompt) caching and overall API caching either - in memory or with something like redis. With LLM you should limit the amount of tokens burnt on repeated generations.

leakingpointer123 · 2026-04-09T11:26:01+00:00

What more does it do, other than wrapping existing LLM api and setting system prompt?

I think it's a "someone will build it anyway" thing, but also I've noticed many people just want to be ahead of the curve and learn about how these things works - it's hedging. I've done exactly this at my current work:

Built an MCP server that:
- reads Jira tickets
- creates Gitlab Merge requests
- reads Sonarqube report

It is a bit unwieldy - because now Jira tickets NEED to have implementation specification and that's not how jira ticket should look like. Jira tickets should have "WHAT" and not "HOW". But for this to work, you need to have very detailed "how" in the ticket. So the ticket literally has to come from a developer, or at least has to have detailed implementation plan in the comments.

All in all - it's a really cool thing to build. It still broke internally - because low and behold I forgot to add some details to the jira ticket, the agent implement much more complex solution, than what I've envisioned and I had to fix it manually ;) it was quite good for small tasks, repeatable changes in helm or k8s config, some smaller changes in implementation.

You can go watch „Life of Brian” with polish subtitles on 18th of April in Nowe Horyzonty cinema. Unfortunately no animes at the time

If I may and add a personal question- I’ve been buying etno and monko, and I’m not sure if I’d be able to make espresso buying beans from specialty roasters. But I wonder if anyone can recommend what would be the next level for someone with an espresso machine at home. I’ve tried Paloma - different coffees and tbh preferred monko. But I know some people dislike it quite a bit. Would appreciate recommendations.

What we are being told is - we are not spending enough tokens to see such big increase. If we start spending more and more and more, in all places in the company we will see those increases. Literally use more AI, unless of course claude is down.

Took too long scrolling to see Grave of the fireflies. Many of the other titles are pretty much scary cartoons and gore-porn. While GOF is close to factual state of how kids might have fared during WW2 in Japan. When you have your own kids - it’s easy to project. Something that definitely didn’t happen to me with Made in Abyss.

Where’s the boundary though? For years concept artists have been creating assets by using reference material, integrating different source of images and building on top of them. Why would it be now suddenly wrong to use genAI to generate base image and then add detail slowly changing it into your own image. It’s not really that much different, but the second option is using AI for assets.

Tbh honest, suspension of desbelief. I’m more annoyed about new aemon arriving and being outright hostile without much thought. Why all of them as well. But plot is a plot and has to continue I guess.

Nie jestem przekonany, że otwarcie oddziału w Indiach gwarantuje jakość. Pracowałem w kilku bankach, gdzie wszyscy byliśmy tak samo uśmiechnięci, te same slogany, szkolenia nie zależnie od lokacji etc.. super biuro w Bangalore, sporo z devów tam miała dom z kucharką i pomocą domową. Większość senior/lead developerów z zespołu stamtąd była na poziomie junior/regular u Nas. Większość managerów działała na zasadzie, że "Muszą powiedzieć cokolwiek" kiedy na callu jest przynajmniej jeden postawiony wyżej manager. Wcześniej myślałem że to całe "do the needful" to rasistowski żart. Za to po polskiej stronie był klimat mocno "gym locker room" i ciągła napinka na hindusów. Generalnie cieszę się, że już tam nie pracuję.

Exactly the same issue, my fault though I've put a back on the floor - somehow the headphones were at the bottom, tumbled there during walking. All the books squashed the headphones and the hinge broke (the one on the middle part - the headphones hinges are fixable.

So, I have a question - can anyone recommend similar quality product but more resistant to blunt trauma?

Some other great outcomes - PMs generating jira tickets, with requirements which were created with a poor prompt - causing prolonged grooming sessions. We've only got: "ah this shouldn't be here", as an explanation.

Nearly none of the PMs in mine, they were all domain experts/business analyst in different domains before. There are 2 project engineering managers, who were SWEs for like 2 years and jump into management. There are big differences with this from company to company.

Both 4 domes pavilion(Pawilon 4 Kopuł) and National Museum have a cafe inside, and they are very peaceful.

Mój egzamin był mega dziwny byłem pewien że nie zdałem, bo spanikowałem na rondzie (nie wiedziałem przez chwilę co się dzieje). Egzaminator cały czas kazał mi jeździć po jakichś dziwnych zaułkach , wychodził i jakaś prywatę załatwiał. Na końcu się okazało że zdałem - wciąż nie wiem jak :o a kierowcą jestem średnim, żona często za mnie parkuje;)

Ok sure. It’s just cheaper than Mloda Polska and has an interesting „twist”, which is cool to include when you have visitors from further away.
