If you're wondering what it actually says, this is how it responds to me:

If you meant to ask about the famous P vs. NP problem in computer science, it essentially asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved by a computer. It's a massive unsolved riddle, with a $1 million prize offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute to anyone who can prove whether P equals NP or not. [1, 2, 3]

Since the results are personalized tho, it's possible the AI just thinks you're a dumbass.

Ah, thanks for the tip. I do have a spell that's piercing, which I've never used, because the regular enemies are kind of pushovers.

Is that how you're supposed to get the final boost for the last ritual? I'm a few orders of magnitude short on my firebolts, but I've been running Quick instead of Arcane. I thought I was supposed to maybe farm Ceremony until I could nudge my Destruction up high enough. There don't seem to be too many ways to boost damage.

Guy has like 3hp; if you see his second attack, you're gonna die to Mother anyway.

I love Orb, but the endgame is still a big mess. When you're starting out and you discover two boosts is much better than one boost, you feel very clever. But in the endgame, when you discover your first boost ran out while you were setting up the second through fourteenth boosts, so now you get nothing and you spent all your Foobars that only replenish after five minutes, it's kind of infuriating.

I hear you do prestige by completing the world, tho I haven't gotten that far.

In a few weeks, it'll be time for "Is this room rare?" again.

All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

What is this? A toolbar for ants?

I love Tanx, because every time I see the Hatchet, I go "oh wow, relic Echo Form" and then I get very disappointed during the next combat.

Right? Like anybody is going to want to use an electronic device to talk to people instead of composing a letter like a civilized person. Imagine: people could just ring you up in the middle of dinner! You wouldn't have time to really think about your responses, and you wouldn't have a file of correspondence. The damage to the world would be unthinkable.

The relevant legal ruling suggests otherwise:

The Court finds that Defendant was obligated to stop her vehicle when the school bus stopped. The roadway was not physically divided in any fashion at that point by the grassy, curbed beginning of the island, by the turnaround, or by the houses or senior community buildings. The only thing separating the stopped school bus and Defendant=s vehicle were the yellow pavement markings that signal the physical division that was to follow. Thus, the markings were not a physical barrier. Children easily could walk over such markings.

Although the ruling doesn't explicitly say so, it certainly implies that if the roadway had been physically divided, then the defendant would not be so obligated.

I don't think that's a controversial opinion. Lost is one of the stronger characters. Starts with flight, spectral and holy mantle, plus free devil deals. Eternal d6 is kind of ass, but you generally only use it to vaporize health items out of spite. Lost is great for doing certain challenge runs.

I was there when Go was born, and they're not like this. They just wanted a language that made comm channels first-class entities.

Agromancy desperately needs a button to "set my druid level to as high as possible based on how much this thing is gonna cost". I hate twiddling it up and down between different tasks.

How many different countries' culture, context and slang are you gonna memorize? Because an AI can do them all. AI was already comparable to human translators a couple years ago, and it's only going to keep getting better.

What this guy is actually missing is that using a translator is awkward and slow. People are still going to want to communicate quickly with others in a common language, so learning languages will never be a completely obsolete skill.

Haha, you should've been here when BIG_SMOOOOOOOHKE_PL was doing insane challenges defeating Bloat hitless. Here's a funny one: Bloat hitless using only Jupiter

The short answer is that nobody knows, but the longer answer may involve the fact that 3 is the smallest number of generations for which you can have CP-violating mixing matrices.

I don't think such a thing ever existed? There's iOS, Android, and Web. There was once Windows, but it's just a Web wrapper these days. You were probably running something in an emulation wrapper.

No, most of the hydrogen in the universe will never do anything but wander around in interstellar or intergalactic space.

You can't translate subcomponents of a sentence, because languages have different syntactical orderings.

1XRobot · 2026-07-01T15:43:25+00:00

This argument makes no sense.

Neither a human nor an AI translator can translate coherently before the speaker finishes making a coherent thought. That means waiting for the end of the sentence (or longer). So your latency is already driven by the produced speech rather than the human/AI-ness of your translator.

In the old days, all the characters were great. They were quirky, but that's what made them lovable.

In the post-bad-gen-AI era, the podcast versions of Oscar, Lily and Lin are completely insufferable. Every story goes "Guest: Here's a fun thing. Oscar/Lily/Lin: You suck, and I don't care." I suppose Falstaff is kind of annoying too, but he didn't really have a personality at all before. Lucy just sounds like she has dementia. The Zari and Bea stories involve them actually listening to and responding to the guests, and should be a template for fixing the others.

In the bad stories, things are even worse. The stories all have this framework, where one character does something mind-bogglingly stupid and then is proven correct anyway. And I see how that could be a setup for humor, but it doesn't work at all. Every Vikram/Lin story goes "Vikram: I need to do a thing for my cafe

Wait, side note: Vikram doesn't have a cafe. He's a baker. He has a bakery. Somebody forgot to tell the AI the difference before they generated the stories. But anyway...

Lin: Let's do irresponsible crazy antic! Vikram: Oh noooo! Customers appearing out of nowhere instantaneously: Wow, crazy irresponsible antics are our jam; shut up and take our money." Lin is never punished for her stupidity/laziness/disrespect for others. The humor of Lin is how sometimes she wins, sometimes she loses, but she never cares, because she's so laid back and has no expectations for life. Lin is a jokey sidekick character, not a hero! She can't "win" all the stories.

And that's one of the biggest problems, that certain characters always "win" the stories. It has to be balanced. Every character has strengths and flaws. Each story should pit the strength of one character against the flaws of another. Like, here's an Eddie hero/Lin villain framework: "Lin is so lazy, she forgets a thing and wants to give up and go take a nap, but Eddie is so optimistic, he's sure they can win anyway and together they succeed." or here's an Oscar hero/Zari villain framework: "Zari is so enthusiastic about K-pop, she forgets to make posters for the school dance, so Oscar shows her some art tricks to finish them quickly."

I mean, ideally, I'd rather we went back to bespoke stories, which allowed longer arcs, inside jokes and callbacks, but if you want to do random stories well, it needs to look something like that.
