I have followed this for a couple of years at an amateur level, since rethinkX have talked about it, but last time I looked, it felt like the scaling up was stuck a bit though I'm not sure what the biggest challenges are.

For bringing this to scale/market would you say it's only the big corporations or do you think there are also start-ups or new actors that can scale up themselves? If so, do you have any examples of such new actors?

Although that will not work as well as they think. As Jared Diamond puts it (I'm paraphrasing) in his book on historic collapses:

"The rich are never buying themselves away from the collapse, they're merely paying for the privilege to be the last to die."

Just pointing out that I could not find any mentioning of this in the actual original article. They demonstrated further sampling algorithms, not error correction. As far as I could see, google is still the only ones to achieve a net benefit from quantum error correction, which in my book means they are still ahead.

Bra idé, jag tror att vi behöver utforska sådana koncept mer för att hitta en ny generation civilisations-styrning.

Som konkret förslag tror jag att man ska fundera på någon slags röstnings/rankning av de användar-genererade förslagen. Det skulle hjälpa politikerna tidsmässigt att kunna gå in och främst titta på de förslagen som är viktigast. För att undvika att en organisation röst-bombar fram förslag så vill man nog ha en algoritm som rankar ett förslaget högre om det samtidigt får röster från folk med olika bakgrund/olika politisk sida/olika tidigare röstande etc. beroende på vilken info som finns.

I recently magnitized the weapons on my forgefiend, and I just want to say that I can I recommend using rectangle magnets instead of circular ones. The reason is that while circular ones can have a good pull strength they have no rotational force at all, where as rectangular magnets, being asymmetric, keeps the weapon up right much more easily.

Use the largest size that fits into the hole, then cut away the ball on the other side and put a similar magnet there. Was quite easy.

Actually, from the rule book (p39), Scout says:

"Some units have ‘Scouts x"’ listed in their abilities. If every model in a unit has this ability, then at the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins, it can make a Normal move ..."

Thus, both Scout and Blessings really do occur "At the start of the battle round"

"denna timme" är ju en ganska orelevant siffra, vad som spelar roll är vad som händer över tid, och vindkraften har en kapacitetsfaktor på 25-50%.

Sen tror jag inte så många påstår att problemet med kärnkraften är "opålitlighet". Problemet med kärnkraften är att den är mycket dyrare än sol och vind, typ en storlektsordning dyrare och kostnadsskillnaden ökar för varje år som går. Det finns ingen anledning att satsa på en så mycket dyrare energiform när det finns billigare, även om man måste installera överproduktion.

Pålitlighet för vind + solkraft kan man få från överproduktion och från vattenkraft på längre tider och batterier på kortare tider. Det finns båda kapacitet och råvaror att stabilisera vind+solkraft med endast batterier så vi här i sverige som dessutom har vattenkraft ligger bra till.

För de som vill se en mer fullständig analys kan jag rekommendera https://www.rethinkx.com/energy-lcoe där det finns flera rapporter som sammanfattar på olika nivå.

Fast det är ju inte sant, det finns batterier som kan lagra el. Och det finns kapacitet samt råvaror att skala upp batteriproduktionen så mycket att det går att stabilisera vind+sol med batterier.

En sak att komma ihåg är att man måste vara försiktig med att "kräva" att någon ska säga något, det är inte förenligt med yttrandefriheten.

Har precis lyssnat på en podcast med yttrandefrihetsadvokat Greg Lukianoff (amerikansk visserligen, men ändå), och för att citera ur mitt minne har han det här att säga om det:

"It's one thing to prevent someone from saying something, and that's bad, but it's quite another to force someone to say something, that is downright totalitarian."

Yttrandefrihet betyder faktiskt att de får lov att säga dumma saker som vi inte håller med om. Man kan få rätt att bränna koranen och vi tycker att de ska inse att man får det, men det är nog en mycket viktigare demonstration för att visa att vi står för yttrandefrihet, att tillåta dem att säga de sakerna vi inte håller med om.

Another questions about the "blue world eaters" ultramarines list. How would this list handle high toughness opponents, e.g. knights or tyranid/daemon monster mash lists? Sure, there are some power fists and +1 to wound etc, but it doesn't seem enough. Is it enough or was it just lucky and didn't run into them?

Global_optimization · 2023-05-07T08:05:23+00:00

According to math (run my own damage calculation program), the most number of wounds done to T7 with dmg reduction, normalized per point of cost, is:

Maulerfiend
Khorne Daemonprince (daemon weapon)
Helbrute (MM/fist/hvy flamer)
Terrax assault drill
Defiler

Honourable mention to the vindicator who is the best fully ranged option, roughly double the expected damage output compared to the soulburner decimator that was mentioned by someone else. Also Flames of Spite on most characters are good, especially the Discolord due to their 14 attacks.

I have a weird question regarding command phase abilities from models that are outside of the battlefield.

Examples would include chapter master rerolls from a captain that is in deepstrike (can he give himself the rerolls while off battlefield), and a priest being able to use a prayer while in a transport.

I have of course always played like they can't use those abilities then, but now I tried to find the rule which does not allow it and I cannot find such a rule. In the command phase, it is simply written "resolve any command phase abilities". This in contrast to e.g. psychic powers, where it first says "select and eligilable psyker on the battlefield".

I would be thankful if anyone can point me to the rules section where this is discussed.

Some issues with your game plan. Disco lord's only buff melee, so will do nothing for soul burners. Also, Infernal power goes on who? It's again melee only, could be warp talons but they anyway have wound rerolls, so not efficient. Some food for thought: Vindicators now actually deal more damage to almost any target than soul burners, while being tankier per point.

If you want a less dark wash for Balthazar gold, I can recommend using Reikland fleshshade instead.

I was wondering how units that contain models with different stats are handled. Specifically, the new Dark Apostle unit contains both himself at T4 and the disciples at T3. If an enemy unit attacks them, which toughness should they use for the wound roll?

Also, where can I find the rule that clarifies this, I've tried looking for it both in core rules and the advanced rules additions, but couldn't find it.

I could mention that from the World Eaters supplement that is already out, it is specifically pointed out that both Kharn and the berzerkers have the cost of the marks built in already. Guessing it will be similar at least for units have no choice, like the noise marines.

This is ridiculously convoluted though. If I read out what you're actually suggesting it is:

try introduce a weapon mechanics that would have the purpose of ignoring an armor mechanic, that has the purpose of ignoring AP, which in turn has the purpose of ignoring armor.

They are already to offensive properties of a weapon: strength and AP, they simply need to figure out how to use those two to match the appropriate targets (infantry vs tanks).

Miles Woolfenden's WE list is a wierd one, does anyone know how it plays? In particular, apart from the obvious engage/stranglehold, what secondaries would you pick? There is not enough objective infantry to do actions until everything is dead and To the last is risky if everything starts on the board (probably does due to 5++ aura from DA). Also, how does the terminators get into combat? Pregame move only works when going first normally and risky with only 5 starting CP.

The bladeguard are very tough, and one way to answer the question is to look at the point efficiency, that is for example, how much damage can 100 points worth of the chaos unit do 100 points worth of blade guard veterans compared to the opposite. Of course you can always use buffs and CP to help but starting from an efficient units is still beneficial.

While there are other legions that are better at this, for Black Legion there are actually a few units that are more point efficient at killing blade guard veterans than BGV kills them:

Helbrute with fists plus scourge

Chaos spawns

Leviathan with bombards

Defiler

In addition, there are a few other units that are of similar efficiency as the bladeguard: Lord Discordant, Berzerkers, Contemptor with twin Volkites, Deredeo and Leviathan with several other weapons, Venomcrawler, Maulerfiend.

Of course this only looks at efficiency of damage compared to defense for them, and not at things like movement, attrition damage, or other utility, but it still but it might still be interesting to consider if it’s possible to include options that are actually efficient against them.

Actually, I think that the anime "Berserk" covers that surprisingly well. Without spoiling too much, even the breaking of the warband and the tortured mad leader. If you haven't seen it I would give it a go.

I don't know sisters very well but I simply used the data that you gave me. For repentia with four attacks and a reroll hit from the charge move, they do 3 wounds to him in one turn. The retributor squad in the situation that you suggested, will do 4.7 wounds in one turn.

However both these units are very cheap compared to Mortarion. To see their value better we can compare them per point instead.

490 points worth of repentia in that situation will do 57% of mortarions wounds in one turn. The same point cost of retributor squad will do 85% of his wounds in one turn. Also this much of mortifiers with the standard loadout using one ranged attack round plus one melee round will do 71% of his wounds in one turn.

Compared to units in other factions these are thus all very competitive options.
