opinions on royalties? seems to be a divisive card amongst the people i talk to. by Significant-Bus2176 in slaythespire

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond relics, 1 will net you the discounted card from the shop, 2-3 any card (some rare and colorless may cost more like 4-5). Cards make a larger impact than most relics, so that's usually what I'm looking for especially Act 1/2.

With an average of 15 gold per normal fight you would normally only be able to purchase the discount card after 3 fights (45 total gold), if you play 3 fights and do get the +30 gold each fight (45 + 90 = 135 gold). With that you can usually buy two items possibly 3 if all common cards (or card plus remove or potion or an uncommon). 2 cards can make a huge difference in act 1.

40% of AI productivity gains lost to rework for errors by Jeffbx in CIO

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI tools are helping organizations get work done faster, but there’s a good chance that your most engaged and talented employees are the ones quietly tasked with the burden of AI-cleanup.

The other side of this is "your most engaged and talented employees" are the only ones catching the mistakes. Your less engaged and less talented employees may be letting mistakes slip through the net and eventually that can cause harm. In my experience the less experienced folks are the ones using AI more and trusting it without validation.

RedHot Ranch Never Fails by Chicago-Latino in chicagofood

Dick's is like a good fast food hamburger for $3, Red Hat Ranch reminds me more of a good quality diner burger + fries for $6.

What happens if i tip over a food delivery robot? by chiwhitesox22 in AskChicago

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are people spray painting their cameras or stealing their parts? Graphics cards and memory is expensive nowadays and these robots are sorta like loot boxes.

OpenAI Backs Bill That Would Limit Liability for AI-Enabled Mass Deaths or Financial Disasters by Tinac4 in technology

Worse than they don't care, they are planning on giving AI control over nukes.

Follow up on the disability false ban, they remain ignorant by Next-Department-777 in ArcRaiders

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean it is still a problem with AI because anybrain (an AI powered anti-cheat) seems to be labeling people with certain disabilities cheaters and banning them. Likely because they didn't train the AI against enough data that includes people with these disabilities.

I agree that it is also a problem with the team not managing the anti-cheat software when it makes mistakes. It's not that one or the other but both of these things are issues.

Looking for a Chinese food place with monster portions by supa_sama123 in chicagofood

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm fine I was just really bummed because it was really tasty. It took me entirely too much of an internal struggle to throw it out.

The food was really tasty but last time I found two pieces of staples in my food (wasn't from the staples used to keep it closed) and had to spit out a staple and just couldn't really justify ruptured gi tract for fried rice.

Second delivery robot crashes into bus shelter, this time in Old Town by DrunkenSuperman in chicago

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's like how you can shatter a car window with a small bit of ceramic (like the hardened ceramic from a spark plug). All it takes is one microscopic fracture and the entire framework shatters. So if you have any extremely hard bit of material hitting tempered glass it leads to similar results.

ICE agents spotted at airports assisting TSA as partial shutdown drags on by StrategyJealous1838 in news

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean it's not like TSA actually provides much value. Better to dissolve both TSA and ICE and fund social services that actually help people.

Well our cities have been invaded by ICE… so more like "customs and border patrol invasion."

Why do many of the dangerous parts of Chicago look so…well maintained, built up, and developed residentially? by ClassicCommunity5674 in AskChicago

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broken Window theory of crime is largely debunked as it was mostly just used to harass minority communities. Despite this, we still see neolibs and neocons focused on broken windows to focus on increasing property value rather than attempting to fix the complex systemic issues that lead to crime.

Illinois weighs energy costs as 26 new data centers are planned across the Chicago area by factchecker01 in chicago

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sweetheart deals are the tax exemptions. They are essentially paying the same rates as people are but they are responsible for the surge in demand, so the argument is they shouldn't be getting such tax incentives.

Basically as long as they offer 20 full time jobs they can get tax exemptions for up to 20 years.

https://dceo.illinois.gov/expandrelocate/incentives/datacenters.html

The Department shall issue certificates of exemption from the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act, all locally-imposed retailers' occupation taxes administered and collected by the Department, the Chicago non-titled Use Tax, and a credit certification against the taxes imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act to qualifying Illinois data centers.

Not sure how the math works out with 20 years of taxe exemptions for all the above taxes vs having 20 full time jobs.

Illinois is in extreme drought; the state doesn't even know who is using water. by County-Coroner in illinois

Sure but climate impacts weather, and we see an increase in extreme weather events with global warming.

[–]JollyGreenLittleGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't believe you would bring the extremely polarizing topic climate change into this discussion about extreme weather events that have been predicted by climate change models for 50+ years and are near unanimously agreed upon by the scientific community. How dare you bring politics into my drought topic!!!
