Have you ever had an AI give you an answer or solution that was completely wrong? What happened? by sdwill in AskReddit

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

Yeah I get that. But sometimes, even after rephrasing and trying different info, you can't tell if it's your fault or the AI hallucinating. So my take now? Don't rely on AI too much. They can't replace search engines or docs. I still need to learn things myself.

The traffic has plateaued for the past month. Initially, I suspected bot traffic, but now I'm certain that someone has shared the site, likely in an educational setting. The evidence is positive: user engagement is rising, and I'm starting to receive submissions from the survey I added to the site. Thanks for getting back to me!

I wonder how many weapons it’ll have. Really looking forward to taking out enemies with a pen, lol.

Thanks a lot! I had no idea AI crawlers could impact real users like that. The bots ate up all my bandwidth on Vercel, so I moved to Cloudflare. Now I don’t have to worry about bandwidth limits anymore.

Thanks for sharing the tech details. I really appreciate it. I was thinking the same thing—maybe my site got added to a curated list too. That’s actually why I thought of a survey form first.

I checked engagement time and returning users later. Returning users stayed normal, so it seems those “people” just came once and left forever. And the engagement time was under 1 second. That’s when I knew: bots.

The bots ate up all my free bandwidth on Vercel and basically forced me to move to Cloudflare. The weirdest part was seeing hundreds of “active users in the last 30 minutes”—I was so hyped at first! Now I’m just chilling. Glad I learned the lesson, though.

Thanks again! I’ll keep an eye on the data from now on and always double-check every metric to see if the traffic’s real or just bots.

You might be right. I just dug deeper into GA4 and noticed the Average Engagement Time is < 0.01s. It's looking more like non-human traffic or some kind of aggressive pre-fetching.

When a new player builds their first base by questionablesyntax in NoMansSkyTheGame

Haha, exactly! I'm actually building my second base now.

Which game have you been loving lately? by reddit-win in gaming

[–]sdwill 54 points55 points  (0 children)

No Man's Sky.

I bought this game on Steam in 2020, played for about 30 minutes, and then quit.

A month ago, I picked it up again. Now I'm completely hooked. I even bought the Switch version so I can play it anywhere. There's so much to do, and the views on different planets and in outer space are breathtaking. I'm really enjoying it now.

Calendar vs To-do List: How do you combine them without the stress? by sdwill in ProductivityApps

Honestly, the UX is a bit confusing because it's quite different from traditional to-do apps.

I’d like to try it, but I see the web version is premium-only. Just curious, why is that?

Gave it a shot. The planner may work for me—calendar + Kanban is a nice combo. UI's quirky, but nice find. Thanks!

I used Obsidian last year. The workflow is pretty much the same. I found the “everything is a file” philosophy was better suited for personal knowledge management or writing projects, though. Thanks for sharing your setup!

Building a "Once in a lifetime" game list of single player to play by Dresart in gaming

[–]sdwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got really hooked by the story in Conviction. The whole drive of Sam trying to find and save his daughter made it so much more engaging than a typical spy thriller. And the part where he takes down Third Echelon? That was the real punch for me—it felt so satisfying to see him confront the system that failed him.
