The common wisdom (this is back when I was still fiddling with an Elegoo Mars 2-3 years ago) was to print the model at an angle and elevated from build plate. There should always be rafts and supports under the model.


Is this not it? Built and distributed by F-Droid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.shatteredpixel.shattered...


I always found the game becoming easier with more mechanics/weapons/potions added (in other variants). Is this the case with SPD?


I don't necessarily think so. Evan puts a LOT of effort into balance. But even so, I've gotten to where I have 5 challenge modes turned on to make it a challenge, so maybe you're right.


I pick it up every once in a while, but most of my runs are from starving to death, or passing out from starvation. What's the trick?


The trick is knowing what you have to do, and focusing only on that. Backtracking is the enemy, and should be avoided aside from unlucky guesses as to how a map is laid out.

If you're the wizard, the horn of plenty is almost a cheat code, because one of your character upgrades gives you brief recharging when you eat, and the horn allows you to "nibble" constantly. Plus you can't starve.

Also, if you go warlock, you have a character upgrade that lets you get food and healing from bopping a marked enemy. That's super useful.

The monk has a class skill that lets you "meditate" to heal, and the fuel for that is defeating enemies. Right now my character is starving most of the time, but I meditate often enough to mitigate it.

Using the alchemy pot to mix 1 ration, 1 pie, and 1 piece of meat (any kind), gives you a super food that lasts longer than the combination of all plus additional healing over time. And feeding a super food to the horn of plenty is 4 upgrades at once.

But the biggest trick is just avoiding all possible damage as much as possible, so that you can keep a reserve of healing potions.


Kinda weird to start talking FOSS when the website itself never ever claimed to have anything to do with FOSS.

What does search engines indexability have to do with FOSS? There's no shortage of old school forums locked behind membership system, not indexable by any search engines.

Also Discord is an instant messaging software and not "web". It just happens to have a web frontend. It's OK to be nostalgic of the old web but not the old instant messaging softwares.


Vending machines take ¥10 coins, there's a huge issue if they don't.


Ah, you're right. Don't know what I was thinking there when I included it...


It's built with Electron so not entirely opaque.

Car manufacturers don't release their source code either, yet people trust something as important as their life to it daily.


> Car manufacturers don't release their source code either, yet people trust something as important as their life to it daily.

I personally find it extremely disturbing. Two bads don't make a good.


What's so disturbing?

The incentives are aligned -> If a specific car model won't be safe, people won't buy it. Also, there is regulation in place.

I think we need exactly the right combo in software too. Obsidian is not open source, but you can gauge what they track in their privacy policy. You can try to confirm it using apps like Little Snitch. Also, all their notes are just plaintext so your data is portable.


> If a specific car model won't be safe, people won't buy it.

The world is not this black and white. This assumes the customer actually knows all of the pros and cons of available options and is able to take the time to make a decision that best aligns with their values. In practice (at least in the US) we have and infrastructure that makes it practically impossible for many people to live their lives without a car, and purchasing decisions are based almost exclusively on marketing materials and social forces.

> Obsidian is not open source, but you can gauge what they track in their privacy policy

A privacy policy is a pinkie promise. Why depend on something so fragile for such an important function in your life, when there are much more trustworthy options? Logseq, Org Roam, and Joplin immediately come to mind.


Safety-wise, the chance of choosing a non-safe new car today is very low since they're not on the market (a lot due to current regulation).

Yep, I agree. This is why my own previous note-taking app is completely open source[1]. But this comes with many difficulties, and often times subpar experience compared to closed source apps. That's why I decided to close source my next note taking app[2].

Try telling GPT-4 that the translation is bad, and ask it to proofread the result for a more natural French


I actually did a bit of research and found this prompt: Please translate the user message from {src} to {tgt}. Make the translation sound as natural as possible.

This actually gives much better results, and now I think I actually changed my mind and like GPT4 better.


I find pleasantries like "please" are wasted on bots like GPT4. Remember, it's a machine -- not a human: It doesn't get upset if it doesn't hear "please," "thank you," and "atta-boy".

It just needs some commands to follow.

Something like: "Fluently translate this text, from {here} to {there}, while preserving details" seems to be fine for me.

If the style then needs tweaked, then I edit the original command and tweak it to have it start anew: "Fluently translate this text as a peasant baker from Rhode Island in 1810, from {here} to {there}, while preserving details"


actually from a prompt engineering perspective it makes sense to use words like "please" because the llm is more likely to give better results (which it learnt from the texts it was trained on)


I’ve found telling it to pay attention to nuance helps as well.


You can also ask it to rewrite the result to be more "idiomatic", formal, less formal, whatever...



Thanks.


There are post codes in Vietnam, believe it or not. Though I doubt any local delivery service actually look at it.

Hanoi post code is in the 100000 range (used to be 10000), Saigon's 700000


Yeah I know that "technically" we have post codes, though I've never met anyone who knows that or knows what their post code is. And I've never received any mail that uses it (not even from the government).


Is it because of tracking protection/fingerprinting protection being on by default?
