Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Do you like table top role playing games? Do you like keeping your notes in Obsidian? Have you hated trying to export said notes to any of the popular VTTs and wished everything could just be ran in Obsidian?

Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You ever try to automate a project but can only get about 90% there so you decide to do the rest of the work by hand and by the time you near the end you wonder if you could have done the whole thing from scratch in the same amount of time? 020

Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026gonna wade into some stale discourse here but sometimes the reason I use the japanese title of a manga/anime is because it rolls off the tongue better. Delicious in Dungeon might get the point across and help it get picked up at the borders, but Dungeon Meshi feels a lot better to say. 120

Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026What are we even doing here? We're supposed to believe the trillions of dollars tied up in AI development and deployment are going somewhere? That there are models capable of escaping confinement and hacking the gibson? That AI will be able to end the world? And it can't read a pdf????? 140
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Every time I try exploring AI I run into the same roadblocks. I'm not trying to give it impossible tasks, I'm trying something that would be personally useful to me that should be fairly basic, and every time it falls flat on its face. 120
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm a computer nerd. Have been since I first ripped a 5 1/4 floppy out of a running C64 when I was 5. I've been excited by and disappointed by computer technology for decades, but I've always tried giving things a fair shake so at least my personal opinion is informed by actual experience. 230
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026There's a lot of black box fine tuning adjustments I could make to the model that are poorly documented, said documentation poorly written or doesn't exist. I could try different models, fine tune the document, and spend months working on this. Or I could open the pdf, glance at the index, and read 120
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026"Tell me about the Fighter class" Passed with flying colors. "What spells can a level 1 druid cast" would consistently print 7 of the 8 spells in the book (but each time asked would leave a different one out) "What are all the spells a druid can cast" just made it give up 210
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I did eventually get something both human and machine readable to a point where I could put it in a chat agent and begin fact checking it. I would confine its data to just the markdown and ask it simple questions. It could answer very simple questions, it ate shit on slightly more complex ones 120
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It can't read the built in TOC and extrapolate chapters. It thinks things are headers that are not. It cuts off tables, truncates text, makes new files for one sentence that was a part of a larger etc etc etc. Every attempt took a half hour to scan, each failure more and more annoying 120
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I spent the better part of a day fine tuning a system to scan one pdf with a consistant layout, a built in index, and a simple two column layout with occasional art and tables (the first example above, Old School Essentials PHB). Every attempt failed in a lot of the same ways. 120
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026As far as I can tell, at least with the local agents, AI can't natively read pdfs, or at least elaborate ones. It instead wants to first scan the book and convert it to markdown. I love markdown personally, but there is no one size fits all scanner that can catch and identify everything in a pdf 220
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026As a human I can quickly check a table of contents, move to the page in question, find the specific section I'm looking for and read it in the span of a minute or so. Modern books make this much, much easier than pre-computer typed layouts of 1978's AD&D, but a book is a known interface for me. 120
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Role playing game books are several hundred page documents with elaborate layouts, wildly different fonts, and random art scattered among dense tables and call out boxes. Here are scans of several different OSR books about the Fighter class 220
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The Challenge: Import and read through various pdf's of table top role playing game rule books. This is still proving to be too hard, because the task isn't simple like reading an email. 110
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Another year, another attempt to get a local AI agent to scan through some pdf's and answer questions about them failed. Every time I attempt this it just re-enforces the belief that no one is designing this for actual use by humans. 141
Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026does anyone else have a rent a cop tower in the parking lot of an abandonded business they live next to, that features a loudspeaker so that some rent a cop in Utah can yell at people and threaten to call the cops on them for tresspassing? That goes on all night and day? No, just us? 230

Daria @imhkr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Dear video game publishers, There are months of the year that are not September, October and November. Your games can come out in January. Or February if you're spicy. March is good too. So is April. June is a little dicey, but still good. July and August are actually the same month but great ntl 220
