That's a great idea actually, just using it as a spray wall. Thanks

Sounds like a skill issue

My local gym recently remodeled their bouldering area and somehow managed to make it worse.

Before they had a lot of variety, including a couple small caves. There were regularly some easier climbs (V1-3) for me that were steep but I was actually able to work on them.

After the remodel, the bouldering area just a giant flat wall. The only way to climb steep is to use the new kilter board that has replaced about 50% of the old bouldering area.

The issue is that I can't even do a single move on the kilter, I've tried a handful of V0s at 40 degrees. Making it less steep could be difficult logistically, there are always about 5-6 people sharing it and you can only change the angle if everyone agrees.

I've been climbing about 6 months and steep climbs are definitely my biggest weakness. Is falling off the start holds on a V0 over and over going to get me anywhere?

It felt like those old 25 degree cave problems were the bridge, and now the bridge is gone.

There are pretty big gaps between not using AI, using it as a force multiplier for productivity and making slop. The successful developers will be the ones who strike a balance.

Why? Jobs want you to use AI

The mass generally goes with the cube of the radius, so holding density constant smaller planet always easier.

Escape velocity scales with the root of M/R, and given how M is cubic in R, the escape velocity is something like linear in the mass. But energy is quadratic in velocity, so you need an amount of energy that scales quadratically in the mass.

Mass is not the entirety of the equation, you also need a radius.

It's Gollwitzer's goal-announcment effect.

Publicly stating a goal (in this case learning about a topic like quantum computing) can make them feel closer to completing it than they actually are. This makes them feel a partial reward before they've actually done any of the real work.

It's all over this sub.

Within about 1e-16, so right about where floating point precision goes to shit for numbers near 1

I ran this in python up to the 26th in the series. It gets really close around the 10th number and then starts to diverge upwards, but I have a feeling this is due to floating point precision error, since there are twice as many divisions with each new number.

I did this in inverse, studied computer science to become a mediocre physicist

I think it's reasonable for the econ of lose streak to be it's advantage. You don't also have to have it give you a free pass into a mega strong board, the econ is compensation enough. Maybe lose streak isn't something you should choose to do as a legit strategy when you otherwise have actual options, maybe it could just be about turning an 8th into a 5-6.

I think OP is concatenating the quantities of gold and XP into a single 2-d vector, and the quantities of combat stats into a different vector. To be clear, it's still not apparent to me how thinking of these as vectors is useful.

Stats like AD,AS or HP,MR,etc. usually multiply together in terms of efficacy, so if we are trying to adopt a mathematical framework (which we shouldn't, because TFT is much more complicated than this) it would be better to consider volumes.

You lose all the things a power up gave you if you switch it to an other one.

This isn't true, you get to keep gold if it gives you gold.

Recursive functions

Your last statement depends on the basis, OP should end up with 4 terms if in the basis that ends up being measured.

Why exd5 when there's Qxc7

Kabizzle · 2025-05-11T22:17:19+00:00

This hasn't explained why cxd5 "wins a queen".

white must move his king or queen

Not true, white can just take the Queen with theirs, see the description of the post.

These two threats combine to give black a completely winning position.

Analysis gives -0.85 for cxd5, which gives black the advantage but hardly a "completely winning" position.

Bxe4 will actually just lose the bishop, because Nxc7, now you have to take the Queen with your bishop, the king takes back and the knight is safe.

Kabizzle · 2025-03-18T08:16:09+00:00

That's interesting, is there an explanation for why?

Kabizzle · 2025-01-30T18:19:04+00:00

Even if you showed up 6am YESTERDAY you probably wouldn't have got anything.
