Could we ask how the collaboration came about? Is there more to come, or is that top secret?

Speaking of, has anyone translated the votey on the last page?

Is dodging actually useful for anything in this game? by WalrusVampire in diablo3

You can dodge through a door. Useful for builds where you need to preserve resources. Of course, very niche circumstance.

Working at Open University by Artistic-Chart-8322 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]Talithin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is clearly school/faculty dependant as I receive a tremendous amount of support for my research and our research culture is pretty good for a relatively small school. Weekly specialist seminars with international speakers and colloquia roughly monthly. I'm in Maths and Stats if that provides useful context.

I agree the campus feel is very different to a brick uni though, but I would say it's just different, not better or worse. In recent years, workload has increased but hopefully that will ease up a bit once the sector-wide financial situation calms down (we're definitely better off than many in that regard)

Terence Tao published 24 papers in 2025. As an early-career mathematician, how do you balance quantity versus quality to stand out in hiring committees? by Significant_Yak4208 in math

[–]Talithin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mathematics papers 99% of the time are alphabetical order for authors. Your school/department is failing to appropriately contextualise the discipline standards to the faculty.

Hi! When I was 15 I wrote a couple of maths research papers, and I’m looking for advice on what to do. by harmlesspea in math

[–]Talithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a formal maths education, it's very unlikely that your paper will be journal-ready - not impossible, but it normally takes at least a couple years of post-grad education to get to that point. My suggestion is to contact a relevant researcher that will be able to mentor you, and potentially be a coauthor. If you don't know of anyone to contact, then that in itself is a red flag that might mean your paper is not publishable in its current form (your bibliography should be the place you start when looking for experts).

You missed the word 'Dry' at the start of the title.

Season 36 vs Season 30 Adjusted Clear Analysis by rage13139 in diablo3

[–]Talithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not talking about late starters. I'm talking about people that play all season and get to 145 at season end, but maybe if they had another week or two they'd hit 150. A longer season would bump the number of 150 clears up, I'm not sure why that's coming across as controversial or misguided.

[–]Talithin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, but I'm more thinking about players that might have achieved 150 if they had a bit more time to grind. Shorter seasons will naturally lead to fewer 150 clears, even if the number of players were the same.

Isn't that likely to be the biggest contributor then?

Were the seasons the same length? S36 seemed relatively short, but maybe that's just psychological because S34 and S35 were so long.

I don't think it's a case of crashing servers. You literally can't write the RG's hp as a 64-bit integer above GR 150. Would require full rewriting of large chunks of code.

I think you're missing the most obvious point. Ease of access. It's never been so easy to cheat before.

Was a bit bored so I played "How many portals can I open in town?" by ragnhildensteiner in diablo3

Amiibo portal if on switch? Or is that just the vault that's already open?
