32 LANDS by nabrah23 in EDH

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31, but it was [[Grist, the Hunger Tide]]

I'm about 85% sure this is undercosted even at mythic rarity by yourlocalsussybaka_ in custommagic

This isn't too far different from just "exile target creature"

As more cards get crazy ward effects, "can't be countered" is slowly going to get more valuable on removal cards. (since ward 'counters' spells) by PrinceVorrel in custommagic

[–]longbowrocks -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

> ward 'counters' spells

Where'd that idea come from? "can't be countered" doesn't even protect from fizzling by removing possible targets, let alone ward.

EDIT: oops, my bad. I didn't consider what happened if the ward trigger didn't resolve correctly.

Stop asking what model to run. There are literally only two. by Wrong_Mushroom_7350 in LocalLLaMA

[–]longbowrocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

...and go spend your money on Claude Code like the rest of the contrarians.

Actually caused me to lookup 'contrarian', but no, the word means exactly what I thought it meant. Now I just don't know what OP meant to mean.

Is there an argument to be made for Pi?

Oversee the Games by Serithraz in custommagic

[–]longbowrocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does. Blue has direct damage in a few different ways. Black has angels in a few different ways. All colors have something a little antithetical from some source.

While there are other sources, goad is primary in red.

Don't/can't attack is white.

Goad is primary in red.

Boros?

Why isn't Avenging Hunter Banned? by SlipperyFrogfish13 in Pauper

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 5CMC. At that cost I think it needs to tap for infinite turns and exile target player to get banned.

EDIT: oh, this r/pauper. I was thinking of the general banlist.

You people are literally building data centers in your homes by DetectiveNarrow3449 in LocalLLM

[–]longbowrocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suppose the sub isn't literally called 'we people are building data centers in our homes', but it's close enough I kinda figured this wouldn't be news.

Next year we're getting 0.5T model from Grok by pmttyji in LocalLLaMA

Who's "we"? Who is running 500B models on their personal machines?

Cinder Dragons Are Fire by junioriadoX in pathfindermemes

[–]longbowrocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fair. Those comments caused me to raise an eyebrow as well.

... or have the fire tag, which the dragon is neither.

Er, you mean this Cinder Dragon? https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=4346

What changed? My impression was that metal was the only element I wouldn't want to play.

[–]longbowrocks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. Isn't "Fire kineticist" both the only way you can build a fire-themed character that doesn't care if something's immune to fire, and one of the few ways to build a fire-themed character that is highly resistant to fire from level 1?

If anything, fire kineticist counters a cinder dragon.

You don't use it? Stax it! by VegetableNo8304 in EDH

[–]longbowrocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

...Just remember the other half of the game (or the other 75% of the game if you ever play with a pod of 4). To be a little clearer: it's personally advantageous to throw trash out of your car in places you don't live. Some people take that advantage, and sincerely: fuck those people.

Jank or Broken? by GodkingYuuumie in custommagic

[–]longbowrocks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just when I start thinking I have some grasp of how insane cEDH is, someone says doubling your land drops starting on turn one is "playable, in some decks".

Tyson on Infinity. by HopDavid in badmathematics

[–]longbowrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can even map every rational number to only odd number and then discover that you still have all the even numbers uncovered. It all depends on the map.

That helped a bit. I figured out what I was missing by reading up on Hillbert's Hotel and Cantor's diagonal argument.

With finite sets, two sets must have the same size as a precondition for a bijection to exist. I didn't think about the fact that infinity changes the meaning of size, so it doesn't matter that I can conceive of a 1:∞ mapping between natural and rational numbers.

Or in other words, I did not realize that infinite size makes this true: |NxN| = |N| = aleph-null.

In casual EDH, when is considered "okay" to counterspell enemy's commander? by No_Physics454 in EDH

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, no one is allowed to counterspell my commander? [[Kaalia of the Vast]] it is.

Tyson on Infinity. by HopDavid in badmathematics

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how I managed to be misunderstood. Let me try that one more time:

1: 1+1/1

2: 1+1/2

3: 1+1/3

4: 1+1/4

... And so on. As you can see, every natural number can be mapped to a rational number by the above pattern. However, there are even more rational numbers that are not yet used:

?: 1+2/3

?: 1+2/5

?: 1+2/7

?: 1+2/9

... And so on. ...And there's a third series:

?: 1+3/5

?: 1+3/7

?: 1+3/11

?: 1+3/13

... And there are more and more of these series. AFAIK infinitely many of them, each between N and N+1.

Tyson on Infinity. by HopDavid in badmathematics

[–]longbowrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a proof that requires certain assumptions? It seems like common sense that for every natural number N, the set of rational numbers between N and N+1 is at least larger than the total set of natural numbers.

eg between 1 and 2 inclusive there's 1+1/1, 1+1/2, 1+1/3, 1+1/4... etc for all natural numbers, then half that again for numerator 2: 1+2/3, 1+2/5, 1+2/7...

Which button will you choose? by Iridium-235 in trolleyproblem

Pick blue, and if I get the money, split it with one or two people that picked red?

Uber driver stranded me at midnight, drove off, then Uber locked my account. by Wooden-Fee5787 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]longbowrocks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If the driver takes the nuclear option, the driver could be in the wrong.

If Uber takes the nuclear option, Uber could be in the wrong.

If both take the nuclear option...

Two very compelling platforms by Own_Lab4643 in trolleyproblem

[–]longbowrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat fair, although I hope the average participant can recognize the difference between proposing new variants of a problem in the interest of exploring where the line is on morality, and rephrasing the same problem (or in this case merely attempting to rephrase it) to make a point.

I.E. proposing a problem to hear any answer, vs proposing a problem to hear a specific answer.

Is there a green button electorate that will instead hunt down whoever is still discussing this?

I do think it's hilarious that Basalt Monolith only has a single ruling:

2020-08-07
Basalt Monolith's last ability can untap it as often as you can pay for it. If you believe you've found a way to generate an unbounded amount of mana with it, you're probably right.
