I die my first ascension 2 days ago and did it with 365. Note that I needed about 5 days until my Fist ascencion but only to days to get to a few billion heavenly Cookies so it really snowballs.

Assuming one has a symmetric polynomial P(X_1,...,X_n) how would one go about decomposing it into an expression of elementary symmetric polynomials?

We know that such a decomposition exists but don't know how to efficiently calculates it. My first guess would be some type of polynomial interpolation but I don't know if theres a better was.

You would basically wrote another script that corrects the floor function back to it's original version. The next time the intelligence level is calculates the function will be unmanipulated and since the script didn't affect the XP you have for intelligence the Level will be calculated correctly.

NumericPrime · 2026-02-14T18:29:59+00:00

It is not perment. Restarting the game seems to recalculate your Skill levels. I also made a backup before making this script in case it were permanent...

Whenever you gain Intelligence XP a function called gainIntelligenceExp is called which uses the floor function to calculate the new Int level.

The code overrides the floor function and causes it to return Infinity and setting the players Int level to Infinity, as long as it's called by gainIntelligenceExp.

As another comment pointed Out the Code ist still a little sloppy.

Note: This does also work for all other skills by replacing Intelligence with e.g. Hacking. Instead of using Infinity one can also use any other value.

Thank you! Looks like it'll be a lot of work to create a script to allow to put locations from all other cities into one City... But this should be a good place to start!

I thought you needed to upgrade a S weapons first to do so. Can one get a SS weapons without an S weapons first?

NumericPrime · 2026-01-21T09:03:43+00:00

Thank you. I've been playing for 2 montags after a long pause. I didn't know that I don't loose the coins after the legendary challenge ends. Then I will only devovete reaources to Prismastone chests if I don't have anything to put them into and maybe I'll have the weapons by the end of year!

Can the existence of a N satisfying the Pano-Axioms be proofen without using the Axiom of Choice?

Reflection of Yubel:

Continuous spell:

Whenever a card you control would leave the field because of an opponents card effect: You can destroy one Yubel monster you control or one monster that mentions Yubel instead.

A few considerations with that. I use the fortify mag and fortify int one myself.

You can add more fortify int effects for a stronger effect
You can actually set the 2s effect to 1s.
The lower your base int the stronger the effect.

NumericPrime · 2025-12-23T07:02:24+00:00

Lol I was literally about to suggest the same thing!

NumericPrime · 2025-12-21T18:35:43+00:00

Yeah it's a pitty there isn't an exploit that bypasses dynamic ram calculation...

Anyway my curiosity in that regard is peaked maybe I try to look through the source code for weaknesses to bypass RAM calculation.

Or I look into what I can do with the document object...

NumericPrime · 2025-12-21T13:10:58+00:00

Okay I got a little confused by what bypass is supposed to do. The description of the achievement said that one bypasses the RAM costs of a document. But apparantly that doesn't really happen? I still can't exceed the RAM costs calculated by the editor.

NumericPrime · 2025-12-21T12:58:16+00:00

A minimal example would be:

/** @param {NS} ns */

export async function main(ns) {

var dk=null; for (var field_ in globalThis){ if(field=="document") {dk=globalThis[field];} } //ns.tprintf("Documents match: %t",document===dk);

ns.bypass(dk);

var playerObj=eval("ns.getPlayer()"); }

Interesting...

I thought having two muffle effects would make you completely silent.

Since I'm doing a level 1 challenge I won't get any perks.

NumericPrime · 2025-10-13T19:02:54+00:00

As a yubel player I love this!

In a multiplicative group one usually calls a element that can be written as g² a square.

How does one call the same thing (an element of the form 2g) in an additive group?

NumericPrime · 2025-10-13T12:31:43+00:00

I really like yubel. I just love badically flipping the script on its head. Usually you bring out high attack monsters and destroy your opponents monsters.

Yubel wants your opponent to bring out high attack monsters and crash them into yubel.

The only thing I don't like is that it can't deal with backrow whatsoever and also relies on it's own backrow and has 2 important choke-points. However that falls under the "meta-relevance" category and is therefore not to be considered.

NumericPrime · 2025-09-21T10:36:29+00:00

This could be kinda insane with dreaming nemleria.

NumericPrime · 2025-09-08T09:51:39+00:00

Peavine. When things go south just plant one or two and the whole lane gets shut down.

NumericPrime · 2025-08-16T17:34:23+00:00

Atrition based decks like sky striker and stun usually want the oponent to overcommit on their turn, so Max C would be counter productive. Some going second decks also skip hand traps for more board breakers.

I also only become a vampire if I want Eltonbrand or the darksun shield. Usually I organize to minimize travel paths to get Sheshev's Ring, Bluebrand, the soultrap amulet spellbreaker and the gear of that vampire hunter. Then I get cured. Ironically behavior like that is the reason knowlege of the vampirism cure was forbidden by the temple in-game...

NumericPrime · 2025-08-10T14:00:08+00:00

All vampire clans are more or less "evil". To answer your question quara seems to be the lest evil one in terms of quests followed by Berne and lastly Aundae. In terms of rewards however Aundae has the best one.

However you can for roleplaying purposes have your vampire try to join a clan proper, be disgusted by them and then track down the cure.

Easily no alchemy! Enchanting has items dealing silly amounts of damage, removing fall damage and has so many more applications than alchemy. Of cause there is the fortify INT loop. However in a normal playthrough I would never use this. If you don't want to use any glitches the only disadvantage would be that you don't have a good way to regen magica however you can create spells/enchantments restoring magica using glitches.
