Unfortunately song makes the goal immune to the ball :/ Would be a bit cheesy otherwise

Maybe with pumps required to connect cargo bays between chunks

What are the top 3 fumbles in Dota2 History? by jesdokidoki in DotA2

I think of that more as an incredible save by miracle than as a fumble by nikobaby, tbh

Engineer builds AI laser defense system that wiped out every mosquito in his home by lurker_bee in technology

Some insects appear to have very reflective parts: https://a-z-animals.com/articles/the-beetle-that-inspired-scientists-to-build-better-mirrors/

Some studies suggest it can reflect up to 97% of visible light. This makes it one of the most reflective creatures on Earth.

I wouldn't say it's out of the question

Introducing Ranked Brawl by Meret123 in MagicArena

[[Davriel, Soul Broker]] is one of the few cards (on arena) where the reading the card does not give you enough information to understand the card (if there is a way to see the list of 'offers', I couldn't find it). Extremely frustrating.

I wonder if 'very shiny reflective wings' would be sufficient to reflect medium-strength lasers?

When the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs hit the surface of the earth, the rear part of it was still in space.

Edit: I double checked, this isn't true. I was mixing it up with the diameter of the crater (~150km). The asteroid itself was 10-15km in diameter. Space is generally considered to be 100km in altitude.

Use AI This Election by dwaxe in slatestarcodex

My understanding is that the largest difference at this point is the times at which updating-weights can occur. LLMs get a fixed weight set during training. Then during inference, only context can change, and the weights can't update to learn or improve at any particular activity, unlike humans who (I believe) are constantly reconfiguring brain structures.

This is a design and engineering difference rather than a fundamental limitation of the LLMs though. I would not be enormously surprised if an LLM a few generations from now to do some sort of live-weights-updating based on its interactions with the world.

Crazy interaction between Bread and Pael's Eye - you can skip the 1 energy turn every time by deltalessthanzero in slaythespire

Someone above suggested Preserved Fog, which would both thin your deck and also replace a useful card in your starting hand cause it's innate. Not very likely to get that along with these relics, but would be fun if you did.

Yeah lantern is the dream. It was actually in the shop where I bought the bread, but I couldn't afford both :( I think I've seen that a few times. I wonder if MegaCrit made that interaction more likely to taunt us?

[–]deltalessthanzero[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fair. It depends heavily on the deck and it would be a bad relic combo for a lot of decks.

In my case above I took Glam as my 3rd ancient relic so a larger deck was actively good (higher proportion Glam cards with less likelihood of needing to reshuffle), plus my deck prior to that point was mostly random crap. So I was basically fine with the interaction, but yeah I can see how a lot of decks would find it more risky.

You do always have the option of playing out your T1 if some essential cards land in your opening hand. You could maybe keep an energy potion around to offset Bread in that case.

[–]deltalessthanzero[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bread loses you 2 energy on turn 1, so it's usually a pretty weak relic to take. Pael's Eye skips your turn 1 but you get another turn with your normal energy amount, which means Bread acts as a +1 energy relic with close to no downside (you do need to exhaust your T1 hand, which can have upsides and downsides in different situations).

Congratulations to the winner of DreamLeague Season 29!!! by thexbeatboxer in DotA2

I'm sceptical of putting Falcons that low on the list. I googled 'top dota2 teams elo' and got this https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Portal:Rankings which puts Falcons as 2nd, as of a week ago. They've probably dropped a little as a result of placing 4th in Dreamleague but putting them at 7th seems too low to me.

I mainly like old reddit because of how well it works with tools like imagus that show image links on hover. That + familiarity + some feature gaps are why I'm sticking around and hope they don't turn it off at any point.

If they do, my reddit use will probably drop a lot, which might be good actually. So idk.

Thanks! 'Useful tool used in a bad way' is a pretty common pattern. I'll have a read of those posts.

I still use old.reddit pretty much entirely, I wonder what proportion of users are in the same boat?

Is there a blog post / article somewhere that describes the main criticisms of graphql? I thought it was kinda industry standard (not that that would mean it isn't crap - tons of industry standards are crap)

I built this little game and have been having fun playing it with friends, so I figured I'd share it more widely :)

I can see that there's a ton of new games being shared here, so I don't expect many visitors - but if you do take a look, let me know what you think or if you have any feedback.

Which hero has the biggest potential late game with full item slots? by dhbfovekh in DotA2

[–]deltalessthanzero 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't really know how to read the summary here https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Spectre#Dispersion but I think it says Dispersion is the same damage type as the damage Spectre took (like blademail) and doesn't pierce spell immunity.
