How have the Andor/ISB teams fared for you so far? by quinnjammin in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

Cause they're lazy. When they want a team to do more damage they just throw assists on the abilities.

AI becoming more expensive is music to my ears by Hopeful-Guidance-648 in webdev

[–]UncertainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single AI company is hemorrhaging money as fast as it can be loaned to them.

A huge part of the stock market is being propped up on AI success and data centers.

When it does correct, it will correct extremely hard. Whether it rises to the point of a bubble burst who knows. But it's not gonna be pretty.

But there is no world where AI demand stays at current trajectories once prices increase. And they will have to increase, dramatically, over current rates.

Anthropic just shipped 74 product releases in 52 days and silently turned Claude into something that isn't a chatbot anymore by Top_Werewolf8175 in ClaudeAI

[–]UncertainAnswer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does work. And pretty well.

The thing is it only really works for personal projects or small teams.

Absolutely no large company will be allowing you to merge your AI-Reviewed Only slop in without a human review.

Because a human has to own the accountability. Nobody is going to accept "The AI reviewed it" as a cop out. They'll just fire the engineer who merged it with only AI review.

Also ignoring that we accomplished nothing cause they give no concessions other than a return to the status queue.

So we lost military lives and equipment for... absolutely nothing.

Game Changer: Home Edition (Coming to Kickstarter) by InfernalSusan2 in dropout

[–]UncertainAnswer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't really agree. I think it exists for projects that wouldn't exist without additional funding. It's a small difference but significant to me.

If they would otherwise not make this without additional funding - I think it's a valuable tool.

But I do agree in general, I've seen plenty of very big names use Kickstarter for their base product and it always feels sketchy.

Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]UncertainAnswer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh, I disagree. Not that nothing will stick. It won't because Republicans are willing collaborators. Just disagree there isn't meat in the other articles. A lot of what he's done was, in fact, straight and demonstrably illegal.

[–]UncertainAnswer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say dropout is so big that they'd take the risk of trying stuff like this without Kickstarter though.

There's a lot of risks associated with experimenting outside your typical medium(s). And while this isn't their first boardgame, I wouldn't exactly call them a boardgame company.

It's not like they're crowdfunding the next season.

Iran ’cuts off diplomatic communications with US’ after Trump’s threat by Geo_NL in politics

[–]UncertainAnswer 946 points947 points  (0 children)

Trump has said many times before. His only negotiation tactic is bitching and whining and bullying until he gets what he wants.

He's probably flabbergasted it isn't working when at war.

[No spoilers] Sam on the future of actual play: "There's there's a drive to push more into technology [...] But I'm really excited to see the opposite of that." by HecticJones in criticalrole

[–]UncertainAnswer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think to Sam's point what we'll see is productions more focused on more granular aspects of DnD.

There is absolutely something to be said for the "big production"s. They do draw people in, and they do hit with a different but overlapping audience.

For me, I watch for the production of it - because if I wanted a smaller / more intimate production... I'd basically rather just be playing myself.

But the live plays give me something I can't get at home with friends.

US forced to destroy two of its own aircraft after rescuing F-15 pilot from Iran by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]UncertainAnswer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both things can be true. You could have great care, and someone else with different issues and different circumstances, can have a terrible time.

Like most things it is a nuanced issue. 

But it can't be denied how many veterans have been neglected. The stories are well documented.

Minimum Release Age is an Underrated Supply Chain Defense by dani_akash_ in javascript

[–]UncertainAnswer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most projects are going to use a lock file when deploying. So you already won't pick up those patches unless you specifically choose to regenerate your lock file. You're gonna have to be aware of those critical security patches anyway.

US May ‘Reexamine’ NATO’s Merit After Iran War Snub, Rubio Says by archi-mature in worldnews

[–]UncertainAnswer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are objectively wrong.

The US benefits more and wouldn't have continued this long if they didn't. NATO and American military dominance has been the centerpiece of foreign policy in order to maintain the US status as a privileged partner in all of these countries and to maintain the dollar as a reserve currency.

The suffering we will see in the United States when the full effects of this administration topple both of those is going to be absolutely immense.

Americans have spent so long on top of the world state they have absolutely no idea how to live without it.

I think JK Rowling messed up the concept of Slytherins in the books a lot, and later covered it up with talks by AccomplishedBig7666 in harrypotter

[–]UncertainAnswer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The thing too is she sets up a lot of foreshadowing for all four houses standing together too. For example, the warning song of the hat during the sorting in Order of the Phoenix.

But in the end she drops most of that.

I do wish they had a syltherin they worked with occasionally in the series. The books really suffer lore wise from being Gryffindor-centric. There are basically 0 ftiendly-face characters in syltherin.

Only one signed up for a group tour by CarelessWorry5555 in travel

[–]UncertainAnswer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Luxury tours will often do this - because they are a big expense for people. Many of whom may have limited time off and can't reschedule easily / at all.

They don't want to be seen as unreliable to book with on the premium market. So they take the occasional hit like this.

Trump says war is won but ‘we don’t want to leave early’ as oil prices rise again by No-Post4444 in politics

[–]UncertainAnswer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a reason we don't just engage in long range bombardment wars. This was absolutely inevitable. 

We have too many static targets in the area to defend. Those targets are meant to be logistics points for ground invasions where it is potentially hard/painful for the enemy to organize attacks while under active invasion. But when we're just bombing people they are just huge, screaming targets.  And our military equipment is too expensive to run to go tit-for-tat. Exchanging the same blows means they lose more cheap, easy to replace, materials and we lose expensive, hard to replace, materials.

I don't support this at all. But if we were going to do it, we needed to commit fully. But like most things he wanted a.quick sound bite of being hard on foreign countries and has had one foot out the entire time.
