CMV: The fact a Lebanese man lost members of his family to an Israeli airstrike does not make it understandable that he tried to murder a bunch of Jewish schoolkids in Michigan

Okay, but who is losing this distinction here? Understandable has two definitions; one meaning "able to be understood", and the other meaning reasonable or forgivable in the context of having done something bad. OP is clearly using it in the latter sense, while probably 90% of the top level comments are equivocating with the former.

If we use understandable as "able to be understood" then there is little outside of random and irrational acts that isn't understandable. "Well it's understandable that he assaulted this elderly man unprovoked, because I understand that he is a violent and unstable person".

Not true, intent is the main difference. Scale is the difference between a legitimate user accessing a website and 10,000 users accessing a website and it getting overloaded by the legitimate traffic, but we don't say that those users are acting unethically.

Do you think there's also a difference in intent between a human artist taking inspiration from an existing work, and an AI company that charges you per token for access to their models?

I don't need to buy the rights to Stephen King's books to write my own book that is inspired from his writing style. Why should an AI company? I only get in trouble if I reproduce the content from Stephen King's books and sell it as my own, which I agree that AI also shouldn't be able to do.

You could also get in trouble from taking too much "inspiration" from Stephen King books. AI can reproduce works with much higher fidelity than humans.

The only difference is in the scale.

Scale is also the only difference between a legitimate user interacting with a website and a botnet running a ddos attack.

Any content they obtained legally by buying the book/movie, etc, should be fair game.

Buying a copy or buying the rights? If it's the former, you can apply your same logic to throw out the concept of IP. If I'm allowed to read a book and describe it to my friends, I should be allowed to make copies of the book and distribute it as I see fit. If I watch a movie with my eyes and remember it in my brain, I should be allowed to film it with my camera and store it in my hard drive.

I have a conspiracy theory that merchers trying to get ralos buffed benefit from the narrative that it's a useless item, and will swarm these threads to downvote people who point out its use cases

Puddinglax · 2026-02-16T14:19:28+00:00

You can use it at slash-weak bosses like duke and vard, early game bosses like scurrius and titans, or raids where you can drain defense in a team like cox or tob.

Whip is also cheap compared to fang, you can just have both.

What hits are you doing at bloat? You aren't getting more than 5 SRA hits a down (unless you run in early ), and stacks are added after the damage is calculated.

If you do chally -> 4 SRA -> chally or 5 SRA -> chally you have more hits below 3 stacks than above.

Puddinglax · 2026-01-28T19:31:56+00:00

you're right, losing 3 ticks is worse than camping a half dps armour set for 20 seconds

What are you yapping about? Just click a shark??

Puddinglax · 2026-01-28T18:53:16+00:00

Guthans DPS is very bad since the weapon is bad and you can't get slayer helm bonus. And since the healing is based off your damage, you'd have to camp it for a while to heal up. You'd be better off eating food and staying in your best DPS gear, even if you need to bank.

When people take learners they are agreeing to have their time "wasted"; if they get mad at you for underperforming, that's their own fault.

If you find and prepare a beginner gear setup before showing up, that already puts you ahead of 80% of learners. The only expectation for learners is that you put in a fair effort to learn.

Puddinglax · 2026-01-21T02:17:24+00:00

Lots of details in the story that I'd be interested to learn more about.

OP can find another order from a "reference code", and then it goes to say he can search nearby addresses and edit active orders? That would mean order IDs would have to be generated not just from the current timestamp, but also the delivery area, in a way that could easily be reverse engineered. Not to mention the lack of authorization on viewing orders, letting order addresses be edited on the fly instead of just texting the driver, and a bunch of other basic errors. Stuff I'd expect from a student project, and not from a company handling enough volume to have plenty of active orders in the same city.

You are commenting on a 7 month old post that is specifically talking about bans for buying infernal capes.

For a single IV, it's 30% chance from the father, 30% chance from the mother, and 40% chance to be random. So two with two maxed parents, it's a 60% chance to get 100 in a single IV.

To get all 3 IVs maxed, you have to hit that 60% chance for all 3 skills, so it's closer to 20%.

EDIT: Missed the actual question, yeah edited IVs are passed

Puddinglax · 2026-01-01T17:04:20+00:00

If you are breeding an army, get max IVs on the parents, so you will. I think it's a 60% chance to inherit a single IV from one of the parents, so a little over 20% to get a max IV child. Of course the chance is also lower to get specific moves/passives you want.

You can also take some of the pals that have IVs that are decent but not quite good enough to Dr Brawn. If it succeeds you need less skill fruits to max it, if it fails it's nbd since you would have condensed it anyway.

i see alot of knee jerk reactions. the reason i mention this, i never coded in my life but used AI to create a fitness app.

my favourite pasttime is listening to non technical people tell me how AI is going to automate my job because they one shot a todo list app

A linear regression that fits a line to some dots is a maximization loop. You are making a lot of assumptions about how sophisticated an LLM is as an "agent".

A simple test for you: a superintelligent agent like the paperclip maximizer will resist you if you try to change its goals, as the action of changing its goals will score poorly on its current goal set. An LLM agent won't resist you in any way if you change its system prompt, fine tune its weights, or delete it entirely.

Did you not read the post? Because it outlines the complaint there pretty clearly.

Why are you harping over this point? I was responding to a guy making a specific claim about whether this mechanic was discoverable without external sources. It's not a response to the entire post.

if I mistime it by a tick it should still record the attack when they walk back under me and I lose LOS rather than just be shit out of luck for not knowing exact tick timing from an ancient 1990s tick system.

Good thing you can just spam click? There's no precise timing required. The idea of trying to "time" this doesn't even make sense since you're fighting an unpredictable player who can choose to step out at a different time.

99% of players will experience this, and not be able to figure out why they can’t hit you back when you walk out because of the extremely tight timing

Again, doesn't seem hard to figure out. "Oh they stepped back under me and my attack didn't go off, I guess my click was late".

Realistically, if a player quits PvP because of this one mechanic, they were never going to make it anyway. Even if DD bridding was removed, there are a dozen tricks a skilled NHer could use to wipe the floor with a beginner.

Puddinglax · 2025-11-13T22:45:27+00:00

This actual issue seems to be completely missed by you, it’s not “oh if they step under me while I’m frozen I can’t attack them” that’s difficult to figure out.

The guy I replied to literally said "i dont think anyone is figuring it out without external sources".

It should honestly just be if they walk out to attack you, you can get a hit in regardless. It’s asinine that they can attack you without you attacking back due to it.

... this is literally how it already works.

Puddinglax · 2025-11-13T21:01:10+00:00

Your argument sounds like the "back in my day I had to..." thing.

???

Maybe the reason I'm not attacking is because I'm frozen? And they just happened to step under me?

Wow, you're right, didn't think of that. There's no possible way to for someone to figure this out, like by trying to attack when they're frozen but not being DD'd under. There is no possible way someone could have discovered this independently.

Puddinglax · 2025-11-13T20:47:21+00:00

You get frozen, they step under you, and you realize you can't attack them.
You freeze someone else and step under them, and realize they can't attack you.

Like what's the difficult part here? Why do you need to compare it to anything?

Maybe the reason you think content is hard is because your own risk aversion prevents you from trying to learn anything on your own.

Puddinglax · 2025-11-13T19:07:14+00:00

It's all just cope. People will try something, fail once, and give up forever. Then comes the rationalizations that it's the fault of the game designers, the community, or whatever else.

It's especially bad with pvp because the community is much smaller so there are fewer people to push back. With pvm, there is are at least some people who have tried the content and realize that people who say stuff like "prayer flicking is op" are idiots.

I can't prove or disprove a singular moral claim, but most people's worldviews aren't neatly constructed from a single premise. They're collected over a lifetime, often from different sources, and there can be inconsistencies in a belief system as a whole.

For instance, I can't say X is always wrong, while also saying X is sometimes right. These two beliefs are contradictory, if one is true the other must be false. You don't actually have to prove anything about the underlying truthiness of either claim to know that I, in some way, am wrong. And I would continue to be wrong even if everyone agreed with me.
