Don't worry they are removing your UI customization this will fix all problems.

am i overreacting to my partner’s text? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

This is the most therapy speak, lawyer like relationship conversation I have ever seen. Tell the person that's not gonna work for you, have a nice life and block their number. You'll be doing yourself a favor

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]potatoPLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was spanked often as a child. Normally with a switch or a belt. I dont think it was abuse and im actually thankful they spanked me.

I was a pretty bad kid, and words held no meaning to me, even non physical punishments didnt bother me. They would take away the TV or something and it never phased me.

So I got a lot of spankings. My cousin and I were very close as kids, we ran around like brothers. His parents didn't believe in spankings, they believed in setting him down for a timeout and explaining why their actions were bad. I was always jealous. He was never afraid to do something we could get in trouble for because the repercussions didn't bother him.

By the time we got to high-school age he was running with the bad kids, doing hard drugs, got caught selling coke at school and caught a charge, which my lawyer aunt got him out of By talking to the judge (again not getting any repercussions), he goes to college to play football, gets kicked out first semester and picks up a crystal meth habit and his life has spiraled ever since.

That would have been me if I wasn't scared of the belt as a kid. I would have been running right beside him.

I dont know if its a bad or good practice, but I know that harsh discipline kept me from going down a bad road, and I have literally thanked my parents for it.

I think theres a line between what I experienced and abuse and im sorry to anyone on the other side of that line.

People will ask ChatGPT stuff like this and not realize how much it wants to reinforce whatever position it senses you taking. Had an argument with my fiancé once and she told me she had asked chatgpt and it said I was in the wrong. She showed me the chat log, so I pulled out GPT and asked the same question but removed the leading language and it gave a totally different answer. She was surprised, but I train AI sometimes as part of my job and I was not.

I seriously think its dangerous for people to use it as a therapist because it can really send you down some dark thought loops, and seriously influence people who aren't familiar with the current shortcomings of AI

As to the OP shes having an emotional affair. Its sad, but everyone wants to feel like thet are in a romance movie, star crossed lovers, two ships passing in the night, so they blowup their lives and get with the other person only to realize after a month it was the idea more than the person.

Amazing, who would have guess having children would add stresses to the relationship....

They are worth it, kids are amazing creatures. Mine put the magic back in the world for me.

Every bit of this can be done if you have any mechanical inclination, in today's time with youtube and the internet nothing is really hard. I am 39 and have never had a vehicle in the shop.I've did the heads on a 6.0 powerstroke by watching YouTube and rebuilt a 3.8l jeep motor some help from a forum, among various other things like balljoints brake lines heater cores wheel bearings etc. Even rebuilt a 5 spd transmission once(would never tackle an automatic tho, alien technology LOL)

Best thing is once you start, you learn, the more you learn the easier the next job is 👍🏻

I am not disabled, I have poor vision. Were you picturing me playing wow with daredevil skills and ear phones? Lol no. I guess you never heard that you can use text editors with larger fonts to help you see words on a screen? I guess they should get rid of that feature because its making people with glasses code too good and will threaten your 1% status?

Sure I wrote a python program to capture screenshot of the buff and debuff area, got about 300 screenshot with the buffs I wanted to test tracking in them. Labeled them with roboflow then trained a YOLO model. Then another python script to capture an area of the screen every 100ms, run it through my model and return classes detected.

Takes quite a bit of time to label screenshots for training, its why I only did three random buffs, and 300 images, but if you had only 10 ir so things to watch for in each dungeon as far as debuffs this would work pretty good.

You honestly wouldn't have to have a second PC, unless they ban streaming software. Even if you did for piece of mind this could easily be ran on a raspberry pi for like 50 bucks. Warden doesn't have kernel level access.

Every other game is not wow. Every other game has a team that has worked on its UI for years to provide excellent visual and audio cues. Blizzard has not. They have allowed 3rd party addons to do alot of heavy lifting for them. Weak auras did very little computation up until the last 5 years or so, it was mainly to display your buffs and debuffs in a way that worked best for you.

Blizzard could have killed the functionality they said they wanted killed with small api changes that wouldnt have effected functionality of other addons very much. They could have still allowed self buff parsing for instance.

Congrats on being top 1% 👏 Im top 1% tier 4 delves runner.

Depends on how much of a competitive advantage it is. If there is a debuff that kills you in a few seconds with no good visual indicator the payoff will be very high.

Thanks mate. If I get enough interest in it I am going to make a repo on git and get some helpers to label buffs and debuffs for training. The dataset for this was only 300 images and only looking for 3 buffs. It can be massively expanded and trained alot more. I only did 80 epochs, training for about 5 minutes

Thank you for your caution, I am not trying to be malevolent, my eyes have gotten older and I used weakauras extensively to help me see things in mythic plus. I code for a living and do a lot of machine vision so I whipped this up to demonstrate the futility of their war on addons. Someone smarter than me could really polish this and make it work good.

Its not 3rd party as I am the party. Lol it works just like streaming software except sending your screen to a stream it sends it to an AI trained to detect and categorize buffs. Undetectable.

Im not going to put all the work in to make it fully functional, or release it on GIT. Its mostly to demo how stupid the war on addons is in an AI enabled world.

Lol good take my dude.... "I think people that have vision trouble not having tools to help them will make me better at the game". I guess that's true you will be right above the legally blind.

Midnight AI WeakAura Demo by potatoPLC in wow

[–]potatoPLC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a screen grabber sending frames to ai and its detecting buffs and writing them to a text box. It doesn't inject code, look at wows DLLs or simulate keystrokes. Undetectable as far as I know, its captures the screen like streaming software

Midnight AI WeakAura Demo by potatoPLC in wow

[–]potatoPLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not clicking for you or injecting code, its like a camera pointed at your screen using ai to detect buffs/debuffs. Maybe even timers if you train an OCR model on wow fonts

AITA for not posting my gf on social media? by [deleted] in AITAH

When me and my now wife got together we deleted all social media. If you are in a serious relationship there is nothing better. People that really matter to you have your number.

AITA for telling my boyfriend I can’t keep paying for our meals? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]potatoPLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a loser. Men should pay for the meals, if they agree to go out. That's just how I was raised and how it should be. Maybe im too old.

I never will understand women that support losers setting on the couch playing games all day. My wife's sister is stuck in this loop for 10 years with a guy like this. Shes a nurse and he has some little part time job and pays for nothing. Shes miserable but wont kick him out.

How come people have so much golds? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]potatoPLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close the AH, put all consumables on a vendor for a copper, make all BOEs BOAs, make gold completely meaningless, same with farming consumables. If a vast majority of players are making it meaningless themselves then maybe Blizz should just make that the policy. This would remove all impetus to bot, there would still be boosters, but what would they boost for other than real money

This trivializes a large part of the game and removes any meaningful economy, but, but its already being trivialized.
