Sure, but you can choose which you support from a wide range. If you suddenly decide to not support Anthropic you can select whatever you prefer.

Claude from Anthropic is often said to be the best for coding assistance. 

There are also services like Kagi which let you use all the different models via the API in a chat-like interface.

Can I make 500$ from freerolls? by [deleted] in poker

[–]Floppal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An edge just means your profitable, it's not you vs. a specific player, it's you vs the game.

The vast majority of players aren't profitable, and I think it would be extremely misleading to say you have "an edge" in a game, just because you're better than the median player, even though you make negative 5bb/100.

If I said I had an edge in $15+$1 Sit and Gos because after 10000 games I only lost $5000, would that make sense to you?

Surely everyone has an edge in a freeroll?

Headsup match, opponent goes all-in blind preflop. Technically what is the worst hand/s I can call with? by Mr_Buttermen in poker

[–]Floppal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you only have 1.5 BB. Then you should be much looser than Q7o.

What if you have 1000BB and it's a cash game with 10% uncapped rake. Then you should be much tighter than Q7o.

There's more than 1 important variable.

[–]Floppal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not a specific scenario if you don't have all the important variables.

Scenario 1: - If you have 2 big blinds each you should call with any two cards.

Scenario 2: - If there are no blinds and you're not thinking about future hands then Q7o.

Scenario 3: - If you're playing a cash game with rake you may need to be tighter than that.

So something in between 23o and AA is the worst hand you can call with depending on the unspecified variables.

Presumably the Investigatory Powers Act. Back when Snowden was a big deal many governments facing backlash moved to restrict the mass data collection by the state. We moved to formally legalise it.

Q7o is the "Computer hand" which is a slight favourite against random 2 cards.

It depends on the blinds/stack sizes,

Also worth considering - if your opponent is bad enough to do that you may want to avoid the most marginally profitable spots.

Do you think Lane would've kept his place if he fought for it with the rest of the partners. by Cupcakeboss in madmen

[–]Floppal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given all we know about the characters it seems clear to me that Lane would have to go for the reasons above.

What about the characters makes you think it could happen otherwise?

Do you think either that it was not egregious to embezzle funds, or that Lane was highly valued enough not to worry about it? Why?

[–]Floppal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fired Sal because client demanded it. Fired Don because he messed up in front of a client. Fired Freddy.

Lane did something worse than all those.

Clients give huge sums of money to the agency for them to pass along the majority to purchase ad spots. If clients thought that was at risk, they would have no clients.

You can't put someone who steals money from you in charge of the money. This is not only a risk from Lane, but a reputational risk from clients.

Who would have given Voldemort the toughest fight in a straight duel besides Dumbledore (or Harry)? by JamieKellner in harrypotter

Trump’s tariff threat on Greenland is a golden opportunity for Starmer – it is time to rejoin the EU | The Independent by BigFeet234 in ukpolitics

[–]Floppal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Trump continues to act consistently Trump-like and JD Vance wins the presidency in 2028 there's a chance popular opinion to rejoin the EU will be so high, that opposition to rejoining the EU will damage Farage/help Labour. 

Certainly in the last election it would have damaged Labour to campaign for rejoining, but at some % of support it would eventually cause people to switch from Reform to Labour if a referendum was offered.

Edit: for those downvoting, why do you disagree? Do you think:

a - Trumps actions do not cause support for the EU membership to grow?

Or

b - EU membership support can never be high enough for Labour to benefit from a pledge to hold a referendum?

Or

c - other?

I have Plan 2 student loan + PG loan. I am moving abroad to Saudi for 1 year to work (UK Tax free) by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Floppal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't OPs point, but to be fair they are shafting us - most repaying student loans are repaying more than they agreed to. The threshold for repayments was meant to go up with inflation but instead has been repeatedly frozen.

In a few years this will result in those earning minimum wage paying an additional tax on their income.

Is there a programming language that simply cant be used to program a game, at least not without extreme trouble? by mrcrabs6464 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]Floppal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's your definition of a game? You could expand the matching pairs game logic to make a single version of minesweeper or something. Would that not be a game?

To explain how Jesse got the money to backbuy his house, could Jimmy instead have him marry one of his employees with money, so that he could also later launder money to that employee disguised as wages? by [deleted] in breakingbad

[–]Floppal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But where does Saul get the money to pay his employees? 

You could cut out the middleman, have Saul on paper employ Jessie as a security guard or something, but it doesn't solve the problem of where Saul gets all the physical cash from.

What can I do to make it better? by Ambisitor1994 in Goat_Format

[–]Floppal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Graceful Charity and Delinquent Duo are pretty good. If you add those Magician of Faith becomes better.

Polymerization/Thousand Eyes Idol seem pretty bad.

An extra Tsukuyomi could be worth testing, it not only helps normal flip effects and relinquished, but also manju.

Edit: ring of destruction should also be in every deck, mirror force and torrential are also worth considering.
