Additionally romhacks exist assuming you own the original game, which layer some quality of life tweaks on top! For the SNES version at least.

In theory Jev “calibrates” the probabilities, meaning a probability of 20% is optimized to happen near 20% of the time, which as you point out traditional models with schemas do NOT optimize for at all

Personally I think every single medium to long form piece of writing should go through an LLM grammar check at the minimum (they are great at catching stuff like correcting “reign in” to “rein in”, not to mention their/they’re and so

If luck = something you didn’t choose or had no control over, sure. If luck = it could have gone otherwise, that’s nonsensical; if you had different parents you wouldn’t exist to begin with, as you are literally a specific fusion of your

I’ve seen about 8 therapists and 3 coaches at various times in the last 15 years. 5-6/8 and 2/3 respectively were, I eventually realized, mostly in it for the money and didn’t actually care too much (if at all) about me making any

Yeah, because sleeping directly on the ground leaches heat from your body too fast, because of said lack of insulation. Sleeping too directly on the ground is also particularly dangerous in survival scenarios, doubly so if you are cold or w

Yeah, I really think this should be the new universal standard. Mostly for respect reasons, but also going through and saying “what DOES my app actually do?” (which is something writing a README forces you to think about) is pretty much the

AI is not deeply unpopular, that’s just nonsense. The complaint ratio is just relatively high from a loud minority. Don't believe me? Just check Pew. https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2026/06/17/a

I do get the sentiment for sure. Personally though? I’ve made peace with the fact that I might have a 20/month subscription indefinitely. It’s slowly working its way towards being like a cell phone or Internet bill, although there’s re

I’ve personally found that Google’s AI mode is surprisingly capable and almost absurdly fast, although the hallucination rate is somewhat proportionally higher too to match its seeming over-responsiveness. Which means Perplexity in effect d

I’ve long been curious what you (and a lot of people that express this) feel the cutoff is to know how to code? Because obviously there’s a sliding scale between truly knowing very little, being able to adapt similar work, extensive modific

When I looked at “Claude Science” which is a beta, separate desktop app, I came away with the impression that it was mostly for biology and a bit of chemistry - presumably there’s some value it can get from consulting obscure literature and

Interesting point, but the article absolutely reeks of Claude output slop-speak. It’s too distracting at this point, I can’t take an article seriously. If these are your own experiences, why do you feel like you can’t use your own voice t

I feel like we need to take a page from the past. Apprenticeships with lock-in. Sponsorships. And so on. Imagine if even one billionaire dedicated themselves to be a modern “patron of the arts” on a more down-to-earth level. Imagine if peop

To be frank, I think the real risk is still just… war. A big enough war where one side goes “no holds barred” in the cyber sphere will be a rude wake-up call. And we can’t do non-proliferation the same way we do with nukes. Otherwise as you

My personal opinion for the last two years or so has been that current AI agents are forever going to be highly limited so long as they don’t possess a real “memory” process. Right now they just have absurdly big working memories, and a few
