Definitely closer to Outer Wilds, but it plays a lot more like a roguelite imo

What could have otherwise provided tons of practical experience turns into surface level understanding that'll be outdated within a couple years. It might be true that ignorance about AI has its pitfalls but this way they're literally creating the most replaceable workforce ever

Education is kind of overlooked imo. A number of professors at my university have jumped on the AI bandwagon and are actively discouraging students from pursuing certain subjects in favor of AI driven workflows.

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.
Marc Andreessen

Current AI custom prompt:

You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

And the IP owners aren't gonna do anything whatsoever to commemorate the occasion

How would that even work in detail? I have a hard time believing that Orion's docking port is rated to handle the kinds of force it would have to endure for a backwards facing transfer burn

With their next gen console basically being a glorified PC they're pretty much voluntarily giving up their entire chunk of the market to Valve

This is the problem I'm dealing with the most. Not because I have trouble learning, but because I have to actively dodge my profs AI suggestions. I've unsuccessfully tried to make the point that outsourcing all my problem solving to a chat bot completely undermines my education

Not sure how long banned accounts remain visible but I'm pretty certain they're deleted eventually. Once that happens, ownership should transfer to another mod automatically, I think. Might just be a while until then

It's either this, E33 or Bananza but yeah, I don't think it's a close race

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

That's for the most part what I did, but I didn't realize just how close to 46 I actually got, I expected way more obstacles. I was like "Wait, I could literally go there right now" and so I did

Other than that it's an absolutely brilliant game, and I'm gonna keep playing because I really want to fully understand what is up with the story. I'm just in love with the atmosphere and world of Blue Prince and I can't let it go just yet. I was actually kinda sad when the credits rolled

I got to room 46 as well a few days ago, with not as much of the story uncovered as I'd have liked. Now I'm just clinging onto hope that there is another ending that makes solving everything else worth it, because I'm a bit disappointed most puzzles could just be ignored for the room 46 search

A solid portion of that is farming for clown awards to get steam points. Honestly one of the dumbest additions they made to the platform, now people are posting unhinged attention seeking bait everywhere

Rusty Panda @rustypanda.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
Honestly same, but at the same time I'm glad there isn't because it makes the game last longer. I'm obsessed with it

I wonder if society is prepared for the amount of undecipherable bugs and tech debt ML/LLM users might be introducing in the name of short term productivity

For a single mission from earth to the lunar surface and back, the required energy stays largely the same no matter where the station is situated, but as you said, this way it's a lot more reachable for orbital supply crafts.

Rusty Panda @rustypanda.bsky.social · 18/02/2025
I think the main thing B*rger is on about is the fact that landers need to spend more propellant to travel from gateway's highly elliptical orbit down to the surface, but that would only really become relevant for repeated missions between station and surface, something that currently isn't planned

Rusty Panda @rustypanda.bsky.social · 18/02/2025
More notably, the moon's density isn't very uniform, which leads to low lunar orbits being quite unstable due to gravity fluctuations. A station in LLO would require far more propellant for stationkeeping.

Figured it's time to actually post something on here. The past couple of weeks I've been exploring math visualisations using geometry nodes in Blender. I made this little animation showing how a set of points can be used to create bezier curves of increasing order.

In all fairness, FH still uses the F9 sized fairing (which they're already nearly fully utilizing for F9 Starlink launches), so its increased range is probably a bigger strength than its higher payload capacity to LEO. Though I still doubt it would launch more often if it had a bigger fairing

Hate to be the guy asking, but... what's the status on Kerbal Space Program 2? All the missing promised features are still being advertised on the store page, yet there is no indication that anyone is actually working on those.
