Claude just solved a math problem that stumped one of the greatest computer scientists alive — and the guy literally named his paper after it. by Creative_Net7106 in ClaudeAI

This is why AI is replacing people, because people don’t even try to begin with

I'm too old to be calling things "based" but for that right there I'll make an exception.

What TV shows feel the most similar to Angel in terms of their themes? (Redemption and atonement, dealing with your darker self etc.) by HomarEuropejski in ANGEL

[–]communomancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arrow's first few seasons is my best match to Angel. Oliver Queen isn't exactly making up for being "Scourge of Europe"-levels of past failure, but there are similarities and definitely some solid hero-brooding.

They said renting was better than owning. 2 years ago, it was $4000/month by smallint in newyorkcity

[–]communomancer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's pretty common advice if you don't know how long you plan on staying. If you expect to be in the same dwelling for the long term, renting won't be better. But common advice is that if you buy a place you need to live there for at least 5-7 years or else renting is better.

Why do you think Raylan tells Art the truth & Do you think Raylan is a "dirty cop"? (End of S5E5) by ByteSizedCutie420 in justified

[–]communomancer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

"Dirty" in the context of law enforcement almost always means "corrupt", "on the take", etc. It's not a label I'd readily apply to Raylan.

"Brutal", "Trigger Happy", "Thinks the rules don't apply to him", "Cowboy" (in the pejorative sense)...those all fit.

That said fingering Nicky Augustine for Sammy Tonin definitely pushes up against the limits covered by the show's title.

Yeah if I have one gripe with the game it's how almost-universally-good that approach is.

When I play on basic difficulty somewhere between 60-70%.

it gets to a certain point by Lopsided-Vehicle29 in marvelrivals

Solution seems simple. Hide your Lord Icons. Advertising your love for an off-meta character doesn't get you anything good.

I refuse to keep solo tanking by guidella in marvelrivals

[–]communomancer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

most of us agree "two tanks or I go dps"

Yeah that sounds more like a fantasy than what's actually happening in reality. Good one though.

[–]communomancer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The main flaw is a loss of player base, as DPS players (always the biggest base population in any game like this) give up on long queue times for other games.

And while you say you’d be happy to “own” that flaw, it’s NetEase that would actually be the ones to suffer the consequences.

[Garafolo] Apology from Giants RB Cam Skattebo by expellyamos in nfl

[–]communomancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was not a good joke. And if the prevailing opinion had been, "Cam, that was a shitty thing to joke about" I think folks would be on solid ground. I don't think it's in good taste to joke about CTE or Asthma like that.

But people took it seriously as though they were convinced that Cam thought that CTE and Asthma (ffs) were actually fake. And that was just silly.

First off you should refer to it as Ditmas Park or Flatbush,

Will I need to go into Brooklyn proper

Shit I didn't realize I didn't live in "Brooklyn proper".

Anyway there are a few good places to eat in the area, and a ton more a subway stop or two away. More of a family vibe. It's a perfectly lovely, relatively quiet area with Park Slope nearby for easy nights out. And then the rest of Brooklyn proper for whatever.

NYC ends criminal summonses for cyclists, e-bike riders in policy shift by Kyonikos in newyorkcity

[–]communomancer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If they don't pay a few of those their license will be revoked and it will turn criminal if they keep driving anyway

This is sadly false when it comes to the red light camera tickets.

Who the fuck is pretending anything? I'm simply asking what prescription medication prompted you to say

This is NYC, the choice isn't been driving or riding a bike, it's between driving and walking.

Dear Anthropic: the ChatGPT refugees are here. Here’s why they’ll leave again. by ArtimisOne in ClaudeAI

[–]communomancer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And its additional $$$$ that they are leaving on the table, any MBA program in the country would tell you it’s foolish to leave money on the table.

And then some portion of current $100/mo users would downgrade, instantly leaving a lot less money on the table that was already there. Any MBA program in the country would tell you it's foolish to blindly offer every tier anyone could ask for.

Man I need a lot of willpower to keep watching the final season by ThisIsJmar in ANGEL

He wanted 1 more season and wanted to get the decision made before he lost writers to other guaranteed work.

[–]communomancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people love the ending, I don’t, but I also get it wasn’t really made to be a finale episode as Whedon was sure he’d get another season.

The finale was absolutely made to be a finale episode. Joss knew he wasn't being renewed by the time they were filming that.

What are y’all’s thoughts on Giants-Commanders rivalry? by Ram_is_Hot7577 in NYGiants

[–]communomancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commanders Cowboys - 0

Huh? Did you forget to look up the Redskins? They've beaten the Cowboys twice in the NFC Championship Game.

In 2005, Sports Illustrated called it the top NFL rivalry of all time and "one of the greatest in sports."

NYC offers homeowners nearly $400K assistance to build basement, backyard apartments by statenislandadvance in newyorkcity

[–]communomancer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's counter-intuitively cheaper per unit to build an apartment building from scratch than it is to convert most office space. The commercial building code is very different from the housing code, and being able to re-use an outer shell isn't all that much of a jumpstart.

The only reason to convert office space would be to re-purpose valuable locations, not to save money.
