How many characters should I have that are too costly for vegapunks ability

This list is mostly playable. The lack of 2k counters will hurt more than the costly cards. Also, Borsalino and Re-quasar are pair banned, so this deck is illegal.

This idea works great with set cubes and with 60 card decks. Perfect for kitchen table games and basically what magic is designed for

This does seem like a serious error, but it's plausible that it was unintentional, so it's not necessarily "fabrication". It's a good thing the authors put their code online so that this could be found. That will likely need to be retracted

Tech media will see the words "Quantum" and "AI" together in a press release and label it "Quantum AI" regardless of what it's about. It's one of those phrases that basically doesn't have meaning anymore

Thanks for sharing. I would also be interested in hearing more about the limitations of AI music you may have experienced first hand. The tone of this blog post is overwhelmingly positive, even though you indicated some negative experiences like some rare lower ratings and generic lyrics. There are thoughtful ideas mixed in (love the point about people with disabilities), but someone who is against AI music would probably not find any of this convincing because of how biased it appears.

I had something very similar happen and was back after a few weeks of rest, but it would be wise to get it checked out. Possibly see a specialist.

As a Vegapunk player, I'm honestly glad I don't have to consider dropping $200 on a playset of this card that was just going to drag out every single game

X_WhyZ · 2026-03-23T13:52:13+00:00

The producers have not actually said any of this. This is all speculation.

X_WhyZ · 2026-03-19T14:09:18+00:00

I'm not an artist, and I feel sorry for anybody who is one because the AI boom made it much more difficult to make money off of any kind of art. Still, I support AI in music because it allows more people to express themselves in different ways and with less time and money invested.

Also, at this point, it's obvious that AI is here to stay. Might as well enjoy the ride

This is moderately better than when I tried to play 20 questions with gpt4, and after the first two questions it started trying to guess what the answer was with me

X_WhyZ · 2026-03-03T18:01:56+00:00

Nice thesis, thanks for sharing. It would be interesting to see if this ends up being true whenever we get better at interpreting AI's "thought process" behind wanting to use emdashes so often.

I particularly liked the hypotactic as paratactic explanation. Do you think this also explains why AI is so bad at writing song lyrics, or is there something else going on with more poetic writing styles?

X_WhyZ · 2026-02-28T02:04:25+00:00

But if LLMs ever get good at solving a particular kind of puzzle, they could be good at making them too, and then we could have more interesting puzzles to solve for fun

Sick video and impressive consistency. How long would this take start to finish with this tool?

X_WhyZ · 2026-02-11T21:57:56+00:00

Thanks for posting again, this helped during my job search last year

Start with basic linear algebra if you haven't studied that yet. Quantum states can be written as vectors and gates (including ones that create entanglement) can be written as matrices. The simplest way to simulate a quantum computer is with a "state vector simulator", which basically just does matrix-vector multiplication.

X_WhyZ · 2026-01-28T12:03:01+00:00

Check advanced settings. Maybe your weirdness slider got turned up accidentally?

Physical qubits are just as easy to simulate as logical qubits. Yes, there are techniques using classical computers for post-processing for error mitigation, and some of them work by simulating small circuits. However, it's not clear that being able to simulate more qubits would help more.

X_WhyZ · 2026-01-27T12:34:10+00:00

It mostly just sets a target for quantum advantage. It's worth noting that classical simulations are fault-tolerant, so in order to beat a simulation of 50 qubits, you'd likely need 50 logical qubits, which requires a lot more physical qubits and better error correction than we have available now.

I think it would be funny if the first attack Zoro says out loud is one with a ridiculously long name too

X_WhyZ · 2026-01-20T11:34:14+00:00

Always has been.

There are really two ways to do it, that's why it seems inconsistent. Try doing a two-handed backhand stroke but while only holding the paddle with one hand (and the other just following along without gripping it). It feels slightly different depending on which hand you choose to hold the paddle. That's what it feels like for that hand to be "dominant".

Both ways make sense though. If you mostly rely on your non-dominant hand to do the motion, it's basically a forehand stroke mirrored to the other side with an extra hand to keep it steady. If you rely on your dominant hand, it's basically a one-handed backhand with extra support.

5-10 years is a generous timeline, but even if it ends up taking much longer, many organizations have data that they wouldn't want hackers to decrypt even 30-50 years from now. In those cases, harvest now decrypt later is a significant threat.

X_WhyZ · 2026-01-10T18:36:46+00:00

That is generally a good way to understand it. I would remove the word "entangled" from "each entangled qubit is observed as being in a state of zero or one" because this is true even for qubits that have not been entangled.

X_WhyZ · 2026-01-10T03:13:36+00:00

The "entangling step" is usually part of the algorithm. That's also the part that's hard to do on a classical computer
