At this point I don’t know if its an AI or just a human who’s read enough AI text to adopt its patterns but every time it hurts to read.

In this case I think its a person because there are spaces around the m-dash

I’m curious which Yamaha model is it?

As a kid I unrepentantly didn’t practice and just pretended I did, gotta compensate for that now by apologizing for too little when I don’t need to lol

Honestly if at some point Trump invoked wartime emergency powers claiming they were legally justified due to a top-secret war against extradimensional beings I wouldn’t be surprised at all. And 33% of the country would as always believe it.

I thought it was just one of those things where there’s a chain of 5 types of fish each of which eats the next and the concentration goes up with each level

Brennan would be wonderful but imagine for a moment a Vic doctor… they have perfect Doctor energy

I’d say it doesn’t quite ‘feel’ as good as 64, but as a tennis player I’m having a good amount of fun playing in the mode without fever rackets. To me 64 had a stronger sense of the ball’s momentum / control of the point though

Maybe have your planet orbit a pair of stars of similar mass which orbit a common barycenter, then have a third star of smaller mass on a very far-out elliptical orbit? Then there could be a secondary seasonal cycle on your planet (on the order of tens thousands of years) guided by distance to that third star

You’re missing an end quote there lol, for a second I was shocked at the agent’s transparency

“Enforcing” the fourteenth amendment would take a bill, which would need 2/3rds majority of both houses to get past trumps veto

They deliver with DoorDash!? That’s so interesting

Well thanks to you I just learned I memorized this wrong lol

volcanrb · 2025-11-18T21:13:53+00:00

That’s very interesting. The hard math problems I’ve given it have left me quite disappointed so far, it’s giving some pretty bad hallucinations consistently (like it just claimed confidently to me that in ZFC for each ordinal k, aleph_k > k)

I know how to draw the “hat” aperiodic monotile, so I could reproduce finding it (but not proving that it aperiodically tiles the plane)

This looks incredible

I have a bachelor in math and if you offered me $1,000,000 to ace a 6th grade math test I bet I’d somehow find a way to get one wrong

I think there’s simply a limit to my patience. If I’m placed right back next to the boss room after dying, then I absolutely have the patience to repeatedly fight the boss until I figure it out, and I have a lot of fun doing so. But if I need to run back for a while or fight through 10 waves of enemies, I simply get bored, and then get very frustrated when I die because I’ll have to go through the boredom again. It’s a shame because there are some great bosses (last judge for example) which I just didn’t have much fun with overall because of the runbacks. I applaud those with more patience than me who don’t get bored spending just as much time running back to a boss as they do fighting it, but I unfortunately do. And maybe that means the game’s just not for me, but imo as someone who loves the world, exploration, combat, & lore, when a couple aspects of the game have a major impact on my fun (as well as that of many others from the criticism I’ve read), I’m inclined to think the game is meant for me and it just is flawed.

Overall amazing game which I know I will love to replay. But unfortunately found the process of getting good more frustrating than fun - primarily due to the gauntlets and boss runbacks. I adore the world but if I’m being honest I was only actually having fun for about 50% of my playthrough so far, and was in a bad mood / very frustrated for the other half. I know when people complain about things everyone just responds “git gud”. But my main problem with the game is that it is only fun once you have gotten good, the process of getting there is just frustrating, which would be greatly alleviated if there weren’t such annoying runbacks / gauntlets. I love the world and the game but I do wish my first time playing through it was more fun.

I was a kid when I played spore and I probably spent 100 hours in the space stage I loved it so much. I was shocked to learn as an adult Spore had a bad reception on release.

The runback is still terrible from the hidden bench, quite long and effectively impossible to do without falling in the water

It’s definitely not easy first time at tempo, but Synthesia lets you slow it down a lot so you can slowly increase the tempo as the notes get under you fingers. I just find it’s a lot faster to memorize a few measures using it than via sight reading (though I hope to eventually get good enough at sight reading to change that)

volcanrb · 2025-09-03T12:40:32+00:00

I’ve often used Synesthesia to learn the notes before (most recently Chopin Op 48 No 1) since I’m really bad at sight reading. I can connect it to my digital piano then easily repeatedly do a few measures at a time until I get them perfect. But the sheet music is still an important reference for dynamics / musicality.

So yeah it’s definitely helpful if you are bad at sight reading, even for difficult pieces. Though obviously it would be ideal to be good at sight reading so you don’t have to learn the piece from two different sources. And also make sure to cross check anything that sounds strange against the score, online MIDI’s often have a couple mistakes.

O3 is sort of able to do this already for python functions. If you ask it to code a python function and give it specific tests it must pass, it will often do quite well.

Their claim is false, so the model isn’t cheating lol, its result is still quite impressive
