  • Your example at the end is pretty much the only way I use it to learn. Even then, it’s not the best at getting the right answer. The best thing you can do is ask it how to handle a problem you know the answer to, then learn the process of getting to that answer. Finally, you can try a different problem and see if your answer matches with the LLM. Ideally, you can verify the LLM’s answer.










  • The main frustration I had with Baldur’s Gate 3 while being busy is that I would have sessions where a glitch would silently compound over a couple hours of gameplay, and when the glitch finally manifests, I had to reload a very old save to fix it.

    In my case, >!Shadowheart killed Laezel in camp, but Laezel was somehow still alive and in camp. Later, this causes problems where the game will acknowledge she’s dead, and then she will show up in a Githyanki Creche conversation, and then disappear again. So, she is effectively not part of our story but then also is a secret party member. !<



  • The US has a history of using death/suffering as a “deterrent” for illegal border crossings. It doesn’t really work that way, though.

    Excerpts from Immigration and Naturalization Service “Border Patrol Strategic Plan 1994 and Beyond”:

    The Border Patrol will improve control of the border by implementing a strategy of “prevention through deterrence.” The Border Patrol will achieve the goals of its strategy by bringing a decisive number of enforcement resources to bear in each major entry corridor. The Border Patrol will increase the number of agents on the line and make effective use of technology, raising the risk of apprehension high enough to be an effective deterrent.

    The prediction is that with traditional entry and smuggling routes disrupted, illegal traffic will be deterred, or forced over more hostile terrain, less suited for crossing and more suited for enforcement. Mobility of enforcement resources will be essential in tracking illegal traffic to prevent local “hot spots” from becoming long-term problem areas.

    They targetted safer passageways and funneled migrants through the Sonoran Desert, which promptly led to increased migrant deaths but an unchanged quantity of crossing attempts. It’s not like the migrants can afford to turn around and go home.

    It makes sense that the logical next step in the death-making company is to buy a death machine since it’s “cheaper” than processing inviduals and sending them home to their deaths.
