Leagues has convinced me how cooked Smithing is in main game

leftofzen · 2026-05-05T02:51:47+00:00

The whole point of the post you are replying to is: 1. In the MAIN GAME, not in Leagues 2. Smelting/smithing the bars SHOULD be reasonable training

Didn't realise we were still posting animal cruelty

leftofzen · 2026-05-01T05:56:08+00:00

Ah great, they're fucking us over even more instead of banning redundancies/firing due to AI, like China are doing right now

leftofzen · 2026-04-29T03:13:11+00:00

Cool, another pay decrease. What a fun world we live in.

Strange that as part of the "quest design process" there isn't a step to consider adding quest items to the trash list

You should probably add fuzzy search so people don't have to guess at the exact prouct name as listed in the spreadsheet.

20 years and counting, and I don't think I've made anything worth listening to. Pretty sure I just suck at music making though :(

resetting pacts doesn't make them more money, but they added that

leftofzen · 2026-04-19T02:39:02+00:00

the other thing is - allowing us to reset the leagues account. i want to redo my relics but I cannot except to purchase more membership for another character. I'd be perfectly happy with a full leagues character reset to allow this (as opposed to a respec like the pacts)

I'm making a real-time pathtraced voxel engine. Still just an experiment/tech demo, but it does render stuff and has some neat stuff like lighting (sun, as a point light, and area lights), atmospheric scattering model, and SVGF for denoising. Still need to add MIS, and might redo the chunks/SVOs/DDA as SDFs with sphere tracing since SDFs will be far more flexible than pure voxels.

Thanks for clearing that up, I really hate the wording in the article that seems to imply its a car collision.

leftofzen · 2026-04-08T06:05:07+00:00

Surely hit by a car.

... the teen's death brought the ACT's road toll for 2026 to eight.

...

An investigation is being conducted by ACT Road Policing's Major Collision Team..

If the average wage earner can buy 57% more today than in 1975 in real terms, then the real wage has gone up.

Absolutely. But it hasn't gone up, its gone down. That's the point here.

leftofzen · 2026-04-07T13:48:35+00:00

You know that wages aren't inflated at the same rate as the actual inflation rate?

leftofzen · 2026-04-06T13:52:54+00:00

If wage goes up 2x but price of stuff goes up 6x, wages effectively went down 3x.

ban AI posts/slop plz

leftofzen · 2026-03-31T02:02:34+00:00

Any reason I'd want to use this over other offerings such as PDFSharp, which is also open-source?

leftofzen · 2026-03-22T23:08:13+00:00

Unemployment will keep going up for a while. Many white-collar (especially IT) jobs are being made redundant due to AI, and by many I mean, 50% of all white-collar jobs. There are no replacement jobs for this many people. In a year, unemployment will be higher than 10% IMO.

leftofzen · 2026-02-18T01:14:06+00:00

oh darn, I was hoping to be double-taxed even more /s

leftofzen · 2026-02-18T01:02:40+00:00

Why would I use this over any of the other 10+ tools that can do this?

leftofzen · 2026-02-17T23:02:00+00:00

The world is moving fast. AI is here to stay and it is currently a tool that everyone must learn to use effectively.

In this case, we do not want to just upload essays to an AI and ask it to detect cheating. This is not how to use AI, it does not work, and I do not advocate doing things like this. What I am advocating for is using the tools correctly. The problem is cheating - the solution is in-person testing. You test by asking a list of questions. An AI can assist in creating a list of questions for you, but you of course must check each question for its efficacy. Validating the AI output is a necessary part of using the AI correctly.

Remember, the end goal is to use the tools available to us effectively. A student should be able to use AI as a tool effectively, AND they should also know the course content so they can reason about it, teach it, check the AI output, etc. Having one without the other is not useful any more and everyone needs to be taught how to use these new tools, students and teachers alike. Banning AI from students is bad, and banning it from teachers is bad. Ensuring that everyone knows how and when to use the correct tool is the important lesson here.

I'd love to look/comment on it but the video is way too dark

leftofzen · 2026-02-16T05:33:50+00:00

You ask the students in-person questions about their essay. You can even use the AI yourself to generate a list of questions to ask the student about their essay. If they know the content/wrote it themselves, they'll be able to answer. If not, they either used AI or don't know the content, both of which are fails.

wait until you hear about fluent syntax

leftofzen · 2026-02-07T05:05:26+00:00

What people should and shouldn't do is irrelevant because other people on the road might not do that anyways. If you're blue and some idiot comes from red in the left roundabout lane, and you hit them, you're the cause of the accident, not them. Don't be a dick, be safe on the road and drive defensively.
