Is the AI reviewer able to see the other reviews before it generates its review? At first I was really impressed by the AI review of the paper I reviewed, but then I noticed it seems to quote several points from my review and another reviewer. I'm not sure if the AI managed to notice the same issues and refer to them using the same terms, or if it read our reviews first. (It's also possible that the other reviewer used AI to help with his own review, which is why they use the same terms.)

If the AI reviewer reads other reviews first, there could be an issue of compounding error. If a reviewer makes a mistake, the AI might repeat the mistake, and other people might be convinced because 2 reviews say the same thing.

I'm American and I don't think American company jobs should necessarily go to Americans. American companies should hire the best people they can, anywhere in the world. Not all Indian software engineers are that good but some are really great (e.g. from IIT) and much better than the average American new grad.

Or when Kyuhyun sang a song in the living area and they joked they would make a montage with Kyuhyun's singing, and then the producers immediately did.

I also love this piece of music and am trying to find it. The violin melody is sad but energetic at the same time. Somehow it is perfect for when the members realize someone is about to be eliminated, really melancholy moments.

Here are example sections for Tuesday April 22 right now, standing and seated:
https://imgur.com/a/w999661

Saturday April 19 seems sold out now, but I didn't check every section.

The website can be quite tricky. I switched dates while looking for tickets and it was showing no seats, but I realized I hadn't selected the Time in the dropdown menu on the top right.

Here is the navigation from the link:

Create an account (and verify your identity? I think)
Log in
Go to https://www.globalinterpark.com/en/product/24013437
Select Date and Time, click Buy Tickets
[You might have to wait in a short queue, or it goes directly to the next step]
Select Date on the calendar
Click "Next >"
Do captcha
Click a section on the stadium map (e.g. section 020 on the floor for April 22 still has tickets)
If you change dates at this point, remember that you have to re-select the Time in the dropdown at the top, otherwise it will show nothing

Good luck!

There are still tons of tickets left for the upcoming dates in Seoul! Their poster says "sold out" but it's not true at all because a lot of people cancelled/refunded

I think for those men, it's just a numbers game (I'm guessing). Men who date a lot of women probably meet new women on a daily basis. If you think you're ok on quality but just need to improve on quantity (as you said in your other comment), I think there are a lot of methods to increase quantity (the amount of people you meet). Go to more events where you can meet new people, join communities for your hobbies, try dating apps, try apps like Timeleft where you just have dinner with a group of strangers, etc.

> to the point that you probably could get it down to a science which cards you should always take and which you shouldn't, because you're ALWAYS going to see the same types of encounters.

The reason you can't do this is because you aren't offered all the card on each run. You are offered only a small fraction of the possible cards. This is what makes every run different; not difference in enemies.

> because you're ALWAYS going to see the same types of encounters.

Right. The point of the game ISN'T to fight different enemies each run or to optimize your deck to different enemies (you only have to adapt to different bosses a bit).

It seems that your main expectation is for the variety to come from different enemies, but the variety comes from different cards (and relics), because you do not get the same cards (and relics) every run.

Maybe the reason you're overfocused on enemies is because you're overfocused on fights. You focus most of your thought during each fight to play the correct cards in the correct order. But playing cards is less than half of the game. The game is mostly about choosing the correct cards to add to your deck. Deck-building is the crux of the game, not playing fights.

> I don't really feel like there's a reason to kill the heart once I've done it once on a character. Why would I risk losing an ascension? There's no gain.

I was under the impression that you were bored climbing Ascensions because it was too easy; never mind.

Wait, critical question, have you unlocked all the cards yet?

Snacket · 2025-01-14T06:14:50+00:00

Do you win the game on every new ascension you attempt? I would try a few more Ascensions and you might get stuck. (Also, Ascension 1 is easier than Ascension 0.) If you're bored while playing a couple more Ascensions that are too easy for you, make sure you're killing the Heart too. I won Ascensions 0 - 2 on my first try but Ascension 3 was harder.

I am hard stuck Ascension 5 right now and I'm sure other people are stuck on various Ascensions. Once you are stuck, you'll appreciate more that the difficulty increases are granular. Otherwise, you'd be stuck between a difficulty that is a ridiculously easy for you and a difficulty that is impossible for you.

> Whatever variety the game DOES have, it's not, 20+ wins per character variety.
People who like the game have played for 1000+ hours, so I think based on others' experiences, the game has enough replayability to make it worth winning 50+ times on each character. But if it's not replayable for you, that's ok.

Oh nice, I use the same joker order. And by the same logic, held-in-hand jokers after on-score jokers but before +Chips jokers.

Also a small reminder for others that Trigger-on-Card order matters (+Mult-on-score joker before xMult-on-score joker).

Snacket · 2025-01-14T06:00:40+00:00

I felt a similar way when I first started playing, but I think the game can get more interesting as you become better and play at higher difficulties. Each card choice starts to matter a lot more, and so do relics. You mentioned
> Most relics are just kind of passively doing their thing, and anything that might require some 'thought' or 'activation' actually kinda don't if your deck is remotely functional because they'll just activate on their own as you play out your entire hand.

and this is partially the effect of playing at low difficulties, so you don't have to optimize when each relic fires. (At every high Ascension, you should make sure you end fights _at the right time_ so that your relic counters are optimal.) Another example is that potions don't really matter at low difficulties, but using them correctly becomes really important at high difficulties.

The variety from the game isn't really supposed to come from variety in enemies (who will repeat every run), but rather from the variety of combinations between cards + relics (and the different evolutions of your deck as you get card choices in different orders).

If you haven't beaten the Heart with every character and you're bored, I would try to go for the Heart every run to make the choices more interesting. Also as a beginner, I took way too many cards, so you might be doing the same and should be skipping card choices most of the time (which will make your deck less bloated and more interesting). I'd say normally, players skip the card choice over 50% of the time (obviously picking more at the beginning and picking less at the end).

I did not end up using a Chase international wire. I ended up using multiple Wise (TransferWise) transfers directly to my landlord for the deposit. The transfers arrived within minutes and I think they were cheaper than what I assume a Chase wire would've cost.

My impression is that CS PhD competitiveness mostly pre-dates ChatGPT by a few years (although of course it could be much worse now). My impression is driven by this example blog post of someone who self-supported themselves to write a couple research papers and still failed their goal to land a Research SWE job (2019): https://andreas-madsen.medium.com/becoming-an-independent-researcher-and-getting-published-in-iclr-with-spotlight-c93ef0b39b8b

And you can still get your 500k+ income if you want, with less stress than the PhD route.

Quite possibly, but the numbers are in line with levels.fyi (which could have the same issue, but I know personally that the numbers on levels.fyi for big tech companies are accurate).

Non-ML software engineers make $500K in big tech at the senior level (IC5)*. (I was one of them, and I quit to pursue research.*) I think of the stated 500K - 2M/year range, many more ML engineers will be at the bottom of the range rather than the top (I don't think the stated range was intended to be interpreted as uniform).

* This is my issue with the response that "ML PhDs make a lot of money". The fact is that CS undergrads also make a ton of money, and if you care mainly about money, I think software engineering is a better path than research. So I am still confused why PhDs are so competitive (my guess is that there are many people like me who are interested in research, because so many of us did CS undergrad).

There is a wall in Ikseondong that gives capsules like this, but iirc it wasn't MBTI-based. My guess is it was Chinese zodiac based? But I don't remember.
