StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 16/09/2026If we threw AI bubble kind of money in any other field, think how much progress there would be in that field. Imo LLMs are mostly a money pit right now 021
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Idk, I'm on her side and not Ryans on this. I'm kind of sick of AI guys acting like LLMs aren't the deadend they are. 131
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Badlands is so fun, and the legs choreography so good. I feel like synths are always kind of pretending to be human in other avp movies (other than like a handful of Bishop scenes) so it's nice to see them just be unabashedly synthy 110
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 19/08/2026A lot of modern EW is basically riding the technical capabilities and SWAP you can put or expect someone to put on something. Unless you really nail down some technical limits, it might just end up, "just put n+1 sensors up". 010
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 19/08/2026It's an interesting EW problem with the long distances and infinite LOS. I bet you could make some countermeasures much smaller and cheaper than the missiles to mess with them. I'm imagining clouds of RF/IF active devices creating effective false targets. 110
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Here's to hoping we can get to close to a complete recycle resource recapture rates for the panels and batteries. So hopefully there is an upper limit on the amount of material needed. 020
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 08/08/2026So it used LaMDA in 2022 according to the paper, which used this dataset (appendix E) arxiv.org/abs/2201.08239, which doesn't have any mention of books, just "internet dialogues, code and Wikipedia"arxiv.orgLaMDA: Language Models for Dialog ApplicationsWe present LaMDA: Language Models for Dialog Applications.

StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I'm taking a break from all the 3d printing and terrain to get some more of my Wood Elves Glade Guard from The Old World painted. I'll post something once I have a full unit. 020
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I have 2x3 feet of these tiles printed. Here is 4x4 tiles with integrated terrain from The Lazy Forger. I ended up going a bit less red than the one I posted previously. 020
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Reliable vs ease-of-use is the ever winding wheel of software languages. 000
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Oh yeah, having worked on 25 year old code that has had bursts of changes every decade or so, you get ghosts or afterimages of previous functionality through variables names, memory map allocations or how stuff is grouped together. 040
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Everyone beat me to it. For some extra facts, robber flies are pretty chill around people; they can technically bite but you'd have to manhandle them. Dragonfly nymphs are aquatic, but adult dragonflies and robber flies are both aerial predators. 041

StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 16/02/2026IDK why but this is the funniest thing, just the sincerity from green shirt. 000
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I finished painting my first unit for The Old World last week, a unit of Wood Elf Realms Dryads with a proxy Branchwraith. It's a Dragon Trappers Lodge Fungal Sovereign shrunk down to fit on a 30mm square base. I'll probably revisit the paint job once I finish my army. 000

StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I've rebased all my old wood elves and figured out my new scheme. Here is the prototype, it's going to be mushroom themed. 000
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 09/01/2026So primitive survival adds worms, irrigation vessels and furrowing. Woodcraft: Fruits and Nuts adds plant propagation and vining plants. For adding ice cream, I bet culinary artillery and expanded foods would make a good library to use as deps. 010
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 28/12/2025For the next year, my goal is to rebase and turn my teenager years 6e Wood Elves army into a 2000pt Warhammer Old World Army. Then do another epic scale wargame (and actually play it). 000
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 28/12/2025I only got back into painting in 2023 after a 12 year break. In 2023 I painted 4 low linear obstacles, and the 40k Tyranid Combat Patrol (31 human sized creatures and 2 monsters). In 2024 I painted 5 AOS stormhost eternal figures, 9 LI tanks and 23 LI stands. So ~37 a year 100
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Some hobby milestones I passed this year include my first time doing lacquer airbrush for the gunpla, figuring out oil washes, doing pin-shading/panel-lining and transfers. I played wargames this year including Battle Tech Classic, Warhammer The Old World, and Drop Fleet Commander. 100
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 28/12/2025I'm doing my yearly miniature summary and it looks like I painted 16 battlemechs, 1 gunpla, 18 DFC spaceships, 2 LI flyers, 22 HH marines, 4 28mm dudes, 8 nemesis aliens, and 3 AOS storm hosts. That's 73 minis + 1 gunpla, so double what I did last year. 100
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Finished painting my Dropfleet Commander UCM fleet, this is 1250 pts with the battleship pictures by itself. 010

StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 28/11/2025I decided to try and challenge myself (and clear out my backlog) by painting a squad of minis in a day. I painted these three and am satisfied with the result. There is more I could do, but prioritizing was part of the challenge. 000
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 24/11/2025Painted up some storm eagle gunships from Legions Imperialis for Word Bearers. 010
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 22/11/2025I got this Word Bearers Praetor from Horus Heresy into a good spot 030
StStep @ststep.bsky.social · 07/11/2025I go one from a renfair, and am not sure where you are supposed to be able to get one. If I had to guess it was something like pickle juice with a bit of lemon aid 000
