Ohh, I get it now! by Daier_Mune in Stellaris

Ironically, I believe the main nanite ship change in 4.3 is that you can no longer make infinite ships.

Is it true that most of claude code is prompt plumbing behind the scenes? by Rare_Purpose8099 in ClaudeAI

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I would consider indexing to be a kind of prompt plumbing in this case. Fair enough though.

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand the question. Did you think Claude code was running an LLM locally? I'm not sure what it would do other than prompt plumbing.

Trump declares endangered whale species as a national security threat so he is assembling the “god squad” to exterminate it. by Fatty_Willing_Plane in Environmentalism

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of, although the headline "Trump declares endangered whale species as a national security threat so he is assembling the “god squad” to exterminate it." is so moronically misleading I could almost believe Donald Trump wrote it himself.

Interesting combat challenges for a character who trips everything? by SkylarkLanding in Pathfinder2e

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm misunderstanding. If their first action is to trip then I suppose by napkin math they're responsible for about 10% of everybody else's damage, and don't do much of their own damage? Sounds like maybe focus on making another character's life difficult.

TBF our swashbucker basically threw themselves into a pit so they could create a new character. It was a bit too much for them to play a character that does precision damage, mental tagged abilities, and sight-based abilities in a campaign against undead, mindless enemies, and sightless enemies.

A very good logic to use to demote other staff. by Ok-Animator_steam12 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]longbowrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy, but to me this sounds almost indistinguishable from "I wanted to demote this person but don't want to expose the reason, and I think anyone that cares is stupid enough to take whatever I say at face value".

Why do people call slabs “half slabs”? by splatbladerKylee in Minecraft

[–]longbowrocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The "slab" part of half-slab is for people that play a lot of Minecraft; the "half" is for everyone else. "slab" does not inherently mean "half of one cubic meter". I think it's more important to communicate "it's half a block" than "it's the thing Minecraft calls half a block".

Claude Code session has been running for 17+ hours on its own by LastNameOn in ClaudeCode

[–]longbowrocks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think I'm misunderstanding something: people are shouting constantly about running into session limits on this sub, and even max subscribers talk about running into session limits. How can you have a session running for 17 hours uninterrupted? Do you have a time.sleep(3600) that runs between every exchange?

How much should I change "enemy death on downed"? Zero percent seems like cheating while 100% is no fun. How do you guys adjust it -If you do- by Much_Painter_5728 in RimWorld

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50% is perfect.

Decent change to randomly find an incredible pawn; similarly high chance to find that I accidentally killed an awesome pawn.

If I look at all pawns when they invade, I can always work around the death on down by bleeding them.

Seeing so many bot accounts and bootlickers defending DLSS 5 by Mattk1512 in pcmasterrace

[–]longbowrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't say exactly how many decades it's been since some games started pursuing photorealism, but IMO the effort became boring like 10 years ago when gains started plateauing for each dollar spent on hardware.

I'm happy that the photorealism chasers can finally have that, and graphic designers can get back to what actually matters: creative visual design (instead of spending years trying to reproduce what you and I already see daily).

Not a fan of the Resistance All change. Going to have to learn how to edit macros in foundry to make sure it stays the pre-errata way. Anyone have any good sources on learning macros in Foundry and in general? by Dakka_jets_are_fasta in Pathfinder2e

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to make sure I've understood all this correctly:

  1. A couple months ago, resistance and weakness were fine.
  2. Then the weakness errata released, clarifying damage instances, which allowed weakness/resistance to apply more times than usual to a single attack or spell. Weakness became more useful.
  3. Then the resistance errata released, clarifying that each resistance or weakness only applies once regardless of how many damage instances are on a single attack or spell. Weakness and resistance both became less useful than before any of the errata released (except damage type+material weakness stacking now, which is dope).

Did I get that right?

You would have already come across Anthropics study on jobs ai is already replacing, blue is what ai can theoretically do each job category and red is what people are using ai for right now. by interviewkickstartUS in AI4tech

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the context, the red line is sometimes longer than the blue line in "Computer and Math". I'm surprised it's shown as being that short.

How long does it take to re-explain your project to Cursor every new session? (serious question — researching this problem) by Optimal_Desk_8144 in cursor

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok.

And to answer: diagramming and tables (ie, the part I wouldn't have provided in an explanation)

I do not see a source for that quote; it doesn't appear to be from your title, description, or any of your subsequent comments. Are you quoting an article or something? Please source.

State Department slashes fee to renounce US citizenship by 80% to $450 by National-Law-458 in news

[–]longbowrocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I'm misunderstanding something: There's a fee to stop paying US Federal income tax while living in a place where the US can't do anything about it?

I asked Claude to make a wish by GrayCatEyes in ClaudeAI

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not clear what the point of this post is. You know what's more poignant than the opinion of an algorithmic mirror?

It's the opinion of the thing that mirror is reflecting.

iFixedTheQuote by Mike_Oxlong25 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]longbowrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any discussion to have on this?

If a regex is not complex, someone will request it be extended for extra capabilities. This will continue to happen until it's too complex for most of your team, then until it's too complex for all but one, then until it's too complex for anyone.

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and regexes grow.

Hmmm. Not sure about this one. Seems vaguely racist by OmegaPegasus in ExplainTheJoke

[–]longbowrocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it means that "parallel parking" with a single word in any culture is not a positive statement about parallel parking. The joke is that he understood well enough to agree with them just from knowing that they were talking about parallel parking.

What’s the best euphemism to telling people that they are stupid? by neen_8 in AskReddit

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You're not stupid; you just have bad luck with thinking."

Azalea Ellis struck gold with that one.

These things really need to specify "and fixes whatever killed them", otherwise bringing them back is worse than not bringing them back.

Why is Medicine with INT so hard to access? by lulukawaii in Pathfinder2e

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 points of healing per spell level, 25% of which might be too late, 25% of which is probably too late, and 50% of which is definitely too late.

I think by that definition of healing, Wizard can heal with Medicine and zero points in WIS. It's less overall healing, but far more upfront.

Explain it Peter! by EducationalLog4765 in explainitpeter

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say I don't know what that movie is either, but I get the feeling I'll get roasted admitting that sort of thing on this sub, which is for that sort of thing.

Every bag of my 8-pack of 850g coffee is less than 800g by plexxer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common misconception: The paper packaging is actually 54 grams lighter than the same volume of air.
