I knew someone would link this to 3 Body. The book’s take on aliens vs humans is pretty realistic IMO.

This is a really awesome answer. Thanks for taking the time writing it all out.

I think changing out my detergent for something really scent free is a good first step.

Well that sucks I really do like the smell. But maybe I’m just crazy.

You caught me

First western headline that doesn’t mince

I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!

This is a great list! Thanks for sharing!

I had a similar relationship with my father. He was an alcoholic. These days I don’t have much of a relationship with him. I recognize that he’s a better person now that he’s older, but I don’t really see him as “dad”. Just “father”.

My mom sometimes asks if I will regret not spending more time with him. Honestly, I’m not sure I would. I don’t have many fond memories with him at all. It’s weird saying this knowing that I have a father who loves me in his own way when others might not have one at all.

This is a really thoughtful and educational answer. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!

That’s what I already do. Which got me thinking about why apps are so bad at this considering they can do the same thing.

Sounds like the system is just stuck on old tech. If I can tell that rain will reach my area from a precipitation radar map then I’m fairly certain an ML based system can do this too.

I suppose there’s just no money in it.

This is exactly what I’m looking for! I also often check the weather to get a gauge on whether it’s clear to walk my dogs. 2-3 hours ahead is perfect.

Just wanted to drop in and say that I love the unique design! It’s a little unhinged maybe but we absolutely need more fun apps like this for the fediverse. Will be trying it out. Thanks for working on it!

+1 for Lemmy.zip! Great folks here and an admin who cares a lot for the community.

Yep I’ve been keeping the quarterstaff on. It helps that it also has an ensnare modifier on it.

I took your advice, respecced and just chose ability points for high Dex and Wis for my 4 elements monk. I will see how this goes!

That’s great advice! Thanks again. Frankly I’m a little jealous that my wife’s barbarian is absolutely shredding through enemies with a self-returning javelin and I’m here with my sheepy monk finishing off the 1 health enemies because my damage is so low compared to hers.

Anyway, that’s all to say that I’ll take any recommendation that makes my monk more interesting in fights. I like the RP of playing as a monk, just not the weak sauce attacks. The utility of spells in way of the 4 elements has been fun though. We don’t have another spellcaster in the party so the push/pull/prone affects have been fantastic.

Thanks for the explanation. I see the original intent now. It does look like the version in BG3 is slightly more crippled than the original 5e take.

Charger: Weapon Attack does appear to do 5 more damage as my usual weapon attack is a 1d8+3, but the dash range is only 9m. With my normal movement range of 12m, that’s a total of 21m. A main action dash would’ve been 24m. Coupled with monk flurry of blows bonus action, it actually makes more sense to just dash + flurry rather than use this feat if my intention is maximizing range.

Charger: Shove runs into the same range issues. But with no 10 feet bonus to the push. Once again, a main action dash + bonus action shove works better and without taking up a feat.

Thanks for the note on respec. I haven’t talked to Withers till now.

It is sometimes possible to leave a conversation or scene. We’ve done this before and had another character jump in to run the skill check.

I see your point. Rereading the OP, it looks like I jumped to a conclusion about LLMs and not AI in general.

My takeaway still stands for LLMs. These models have gotten huge with little net gain on each increase. But a Moore’s Law equivalent should apply to context sizes. That has a long way to go.

What drastically better results are you thinking of?
