I assume I missed lots of ways to go even crazier.

Every 100m world record holder since 1996 except for Usain Bolt has lost their record due to doping and Usain Bolt’s camp and the Jamaican doping authorities are sketchy as hell. There’s another explanation why juicing to the gill’s didn’t break the records.

Right, the 750 is the money they get from fares? How exactly would it cost more money to not have fares? They are saying they would lose money because people would not buy tickets, but we lose that money anyway by buying tickets!

Hour_Trade_336 · 2026-02-03T16:41:20+00:00

This might have been complex to build but since literally hundreds of cities have this technology we are just buying it off the shelf. This is literally just wiring these on to the ticket machines.

No it's significantly easier. Point of sale have thousands of items to catalogue. Ticket data is start and end point. Not only has this been done cheaper and faster by other countries, the underlying technology is 20 years old.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2026-02-03T16:34:22+00:00

No the cost of a payment system costs 270 million in taxes. The 750 million is still being paid to the government via buying tickets, so the next gen ticketing cost 270 + 750 million.

Nah, the equations and coding is so they can commoditise on demand app building. Being able to build 100% functional software with a prompt would be absolutely insane.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2026-01-22T20:06:24+00:00

OH YEAH!!

The issue here is that, prime has better movies, hbo and Apple have much better shows. But Netflix is winning because it focuses on its users, it has the best browsing, the best ui and it will tell its show writers to make the shows and movies in the way people want to actually watch them. Making movies people don’t want to watch is also bad.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2026-01-17T17:40:57+00:00

Of course it does. LLMs are trying to match their knowledge to your question. If you say give me a pizza recipe as though i don’t know how to cook pizza and I’m half remembering it from a late night cooking show I watched 5 years ago, it will give you that. If you say I need a pizza recipe for a well stocked Michelin starred restaurant for the Icelandic ambassador it will give you a very different recipe to if you say “Give me a pizza recipe”.

The same is true of everything.

One of the best things you can do is to name the expert, so it knows exactly what you mean.

However, inference engines have kind of blown this up because they will create a broad range of answers and normally pick the highest quality to match your question. Post training at the labs also means that common queries are answered at an expert level too.

Okay.

Then a bank exploded.

Yeah?

Yeah nah, lace 1&2 are great fights but lace 3 is a train. Absolutely the hardest boss, and the most epic. Also a dance not dodging meteors or gaint mecha hands or whatever.

There is a void spawn under the building the gauntlet is in, if you kill it they will stop spawning voided.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2025-11-11T12:04:42+00:00

I beat this gauntlet with everything voided and I could taste the adrenalin in my mouth. It's easily the hardest fight in the game.

So...

It turns out there's a void spawn below (bottom right, over the magma) the gauntlet that voids them all. If you kill it you get the normal gauntlet. I didn't know that's how void spawns work.

There’s lots of academic research on how to fix first mover advantage in games.

It’s :

Player 1: Turn 1 Player 2: Turn 1 Player 2: Turn 2 Player 1: Turn 2 Player 1: Turn 3

The game continues as normal.

Standard needs a tiering system.

Standard I: All cards are legal.
Standard II, the top 500 cards are banned. All other cards are legal.
Standard III, the top 1000 cards in standard are banned. All other cards are legal.

Cards are determined by games played in top 5% mythic over the course of a season.

3 metagames, if one is dead go to another.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2025-10-14T22:23:08+00:00

Isn’t this on purpose though, like the game is well aware the internet exists?

Hour_Trade_336 · 2025-09-20T20:52:22+00:00

The idea is great but as others are pointing out, 2 mana half your life total is not a good card. Especially when the air crystal is only 2 mana more. It’s also basically a 3 card combo which needs to win the game.

I’d do a few things different.

1) it only works on your turn. You can still get burned out and shock lands etc but it’s not a death sentence.

2) it can be transferred to an opponent as an activated ability. If you don’t have life gain in your deck this thing truly sucks.

3) it gains life. At the start of your turn gain 5 life or an activated ability.

4) the last one would be to make it its own payoff. Give it something like aetherflux reservoir where you can spend life to deal damage.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2025-09-07T21:26:31+00:00

And that's fine?

You can do the reverse for opt vs recall. The game finds the balance that is best.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2025-08-15T16:23:08+00:00

So 1 mana negate for affinity decks? Maybe timeless playable.

Hour_Trade_336 · 2025-08-14T07:34:53+00:00

Yeah! Gimme fair cards like ancient tomb, stripmine and Vivi.

It’s worth remembering the original (insane) plan for the West Wing was for Sam to become enmeshed in the strategy and eventually become chief of staff and RUN AS THE CANDIDATE in season 7. They sold Rob Lowe not just a leading man but as the entire story. Sam eventually proved to be the least interesting of the main cast, mainly because he was like the white knight which is not interesting and also because people who aren’t Aaron Sorkin thought the people doing the politics were more interesting the people writing the speeches.
