More experimentation with the lighting engine. The lost town deep in the forest seems a bit more life-like now!

@Sosowski Tools and services are not mutually exclusive. You can absolutely use a service as a tool.

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@lolcohol Probably related to the fact that Mobalytics and Maxroll have hijacked free build sharing. The pathofexilebuilds sub had to mandate PoB links to stop this crap.

Pretty logical progression to move from adwalling builds to paywalling them, sadly.

@thizzelleX @Noahpinion Walkable pockets? I walk virtually everywhere in Boston lol. It's kinda cheating since it and the surrounding cities (Cambridge, Somerville, etc) are all pretty small, but it's essentially European city levels of walkable here.

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@Overly_Bored @acheronix @Noahpinion You'd have to be going 111 mph to do that. Congrats on endangering human life severely to save 5 hours.

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@acheronix @Noahpinion No, they assume humans make minor mistakes, which at those speeds become increasingly fatal.

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@acheronix @Noahpinion Similarly bad.

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@acheronix @Noahpinion On a 2 hour trip you'll save 15 minutes if you go 80 instead of 70. This is a 12% speed savings assuming the entire trip is unimpeded highway.

According to the WHO, this 12% savings increases your odds of you, or others on the road with you, of dying by approximately 71%

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@acheronix @Noahpinion Even then it mostly doesn't. On a theoretical 1000mi+ highway with no stops it starts to matter a lot, I guess. In reality though, your travel time on longer trips is more impacted by rest stops, fueling, traffic, and intersections at the start and end of your trip.

@konsolebox @ChShersh "Would an LLM generate `if (!nodes.count(name))`?"

Yes lol

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@konsolebox @ChShersh Wrong choice! The second is the LLM. Big tells are the double lookup and the lack of features post C++17, which LLMs don’t use for some reason.

[Dan @Dan_Marchand]

@baburekov22523 @gnarcader Nope. There's no point in winning too. You can hack Chaz to have absurd stats to do it, and all you get is 1 EXP/1 MST and you don't even get Megid.

@ChrisSeltzer @DK_Able In a sea of uninformed and incorrect replies, this is the correct answer!
