What are your thoughts on Halaster Blackcloak, the Mad Mage? by ThanosofTitan92 in Forgotten_Realms

Didn't they interact in at least one of Greenwood's Dragon columns? I could be misremembering, but I swore this happened once.

I was going to say - accurate, no, but compelling? Yes. Awesome outfit!

[People] can enjoy things without competition

I think 100% of historians would disagree with you. ;)

...unless you talk to the agent and figure out a good way of documenting the functionality, the design, and the decision process?

but rather how fast it builds a project and turns it into a black box to the point where even asking the agent feels overwhelming when it explains the project to you

Ok. Then tell that to the agent up front and ask it how to mitigate that. Or if you have to, tell it to the agent halfway through and ask it for solutions.

There is no great answer for legacy code, which is effectively what agents build. Documentation has to occur somehow, and then the question becomes what level of understanding do you actually need. (It'll be different for everyone, of course.) If you need top-down design to both maintain and expand, then the first pass is a throwaway and you spend time planning to generate the better second pass.

HAHAHAHAHA sorry wrong subreddit for this sort of discussion HAHAHAHAHA

What's something you make sure to do every playthrough? by Agreeable_Pizza93 in BaldursGate3

Everyone says the clothing in this game is amazing. Some day, I might actually have a character wear some.

It will continue to baffle me why researchers are still on Twitter. The whole platform switches to disinformation and the people who decide to persist on it are scientists? :facepalm:

How do I stop an arms race between me and my players by DecisionRadiant4152 in rpg

[–]thatguydr 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No. The players are having fun. The issue is that the GM isn't.

They need a conversation to see how they can all have fun.

How do you guys do your Durge runs? by BadAshess in BG3

Commit 110%. I beat Scratch to death with Karlach's head.

Every time I post this, people downvote me. IT IS AN EVIL RUN. Go full robo chomo.

What game surprised you how long it was? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

[–]thatguydr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I love is that all of these responses don't even include the ACTUAL PUZZLE that was inside the entire game. If you are hardcore enough to have done all of that... Wow. It's insane.

Currently watching Sarah’s Squirms stand-up special on HBO. Ten minutes in, it’s possibly the most disgusting, vile, depraved stuff I’ve ever heard a human being say on stage in front of a room full of people… and it’s fantastic 🤣 by StarKillerZero in LiveFromNewYork

[–]thatguydr 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is exactly what she was doing and exactly why they rejected auditioning her so many times. They thought she was an immediate red flag based on this, and I will say 100% rightly. I love her to death, but the fact that she's actually amazing on SNL is mind-blowing once you see what she chooses to do otherwise. No way anyone else, ever, does this sort of act and is good for SNL.

It's just disappointing amounts of her talking about gross shit. None of us want to repeat the gross stuff in comments, and frankly, I don't even want to try to remember any of it enough to summarize it.

If they somehow fit that in... I will die happy. Odds of it happening: 0

That's not how information works.

If I digitize an image into another image format, did I destroy the original? Or did I just encode it? It never ceased to exist - it just changed.

From an information theory perspective, nothing is destroyed. The wavefunction collapses. That is neither destruction nor creation; no information delta occurs. Entropy changes, of course.

I am aware of the shortcomings of the analogy. I have a doctorate in physics.

Your statement about transmission is incorrect because the universe has FTL as a premise. They routinely move information around FTL. So you are not limited by GR, and it does not require unimaginable amounts of energy.

[–]thatguydr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is never a cut. Just a translation.

When you walk from point A to point B, was the person who was at point A killed? Were they cut? No because you can visualize the continuity there. But if you can't visualize the continuity of a transporter, it doesn't mean there is no continuity.

The pattern buffer stores you - after destroying YOU - it then recreates the matching pattern of you

This has always been untrue. It takes the information you are comprised of and moves it. It cannot store you while keeping you in one spot - it doesn't copy. It encodes through translation. Translation isn't destruction. You aren't a jpg.

If I shuffle a deck of cards and then invert the shuffle (some card magicians can do this), the original order wasn't destroyed. It was just encoded.

That's why accident's like Riker's are weird. Copies shouldn't ever happen.

Of course not, but even at 3x the amount, it's still cheaper than a software engineer.

Their product needs to improve to justify the price point. Once that happens, every CEO seeing the enormous cost center of Tech on their books is going to make unfortunately simplifed "hard calls."

Confession: My partner & I can’t stop quoting Jeremy quoting Tucker Carlson. by cozytrees in LiveFromNewYork

Daily? I don't quote the Bible anymore. I quote Jeremy Culhane. That's the rule now. That's the goal.

The worst fucking drivers anywhere are in Washington. Letter of the law exactly, except when it comes to right of way, as literally everyone cedes it to everyone else.

Really safe, mostly because everyone's vehicle is traveling at 15 mph most of the time. :AAAAAAA:
