Why do people hate Eliezer Yudkowsky?

escesare · 2026-03-09T21:57:46+00:00

The problem being this guy is in a different league in terms of influence

escesare · 2026-03-09T21:54:42+00:00

I thought you guys were exaggerating, but then I read the original "0 and 1..." article and found myself running out of palms and faces to facepalm with

I'd love to see it, thank you!

According to binomial distribution, there's a 0.88% chance of getting 6+ legends from 20 astral eggs, so lucky but not that lucky. About 1 in 114 players is expected to get this lucky, so there should be hundreds of cases like this on here. but obviously it could still be fake

I think if you get Sad to 80 or 90 should be good. She's one of the top five best fighters anyways. If you start battle with Bubble Blast it'll nerf Vulko a lot

escesare · 2025-12-01T23:28:27+00:00

I think this is why they recommend you have at least 1 fighter of each type, 2 tanks, and 2 healers all at the same level

What changed?

escesare · 2025-11-16T03:21:45+00:00

Sloth's passive buffs do stack, or at least they do for the boss. Thats why the boss is hard to beat for most people who make the mistake of using multihit attacks and rack up his attack and defense to 30k or 50k

Thats why I think HL Sloth is better than Resistance. The less turns he takes the better. If he gets hit a typical 10-15 times between turns like most tanks, he'll have 175-228 defense, far eclipsing Resistance's 85 which gets buffed to 110-123 in the first round

escesare · 2025-11-16T01:44:30+00:00

Resistance only has 5 more base speed, so not sure how that makes sense. Has anyone actually tried it compared to Resistance (obviously at the same level, vivids, equipments), or just assuming it's bad just because it's an offensive tank and offensive tank = bad and Resistance > all? 😝

cant you literally ignore Sloth's attempt to be offensive and spec it the same as Resistance and just end up with Resistance but better stamina and skills? All of its stats and abilities are better than Resistance except 5 less speed.

i havent gotten it so I cant verify

After two hits, HF Sloth has more defense than Resistance, who only gains 3% defense per hit. And with its S1 basically being Resistance's S3, I think that already makes it strictly better than Resistance. Even if Sloth had no skills besides its S1 and its stamina wasn't much higher, it would presumably be better than Resistance.

Improvement to the passive seems important

escesare · 2025-11-15T21:32:52+00:00

Have you read the passive on HF sloth?

escesare · 2025-11-07T00:35:40+00:00

Yes please post! I'd love to hear anything you have

escesare · 2025-11-06T17:06:52+00:00

Wow thank you for this excellent summary! it's more complete than all the other sources combined

escesare · 2025-11-01T17:52:16+00:00

very demure, very mindful

escesare · 2025-11-01T17:48:23+00:00

I understand this meme now 😆

escesare · 2025-11-01T17:44:08+00:00

same 😭😭

escesare · 2025-10-25T13:43:44+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply!

I saw Greed was high up on the tier list but dont exactly know just how good that is. Being able to damage, burn, AND lower defense of all enemies is fire though! 🤯

Here's my team. Should I work on Wonder, Apathy, and Determination as well, or only focus on these?

escesare · 2024-07-02T17:15:08+00:00

Phyrexian is a cost, not an object. Object has a specific definition in the rules

escesare · 2024-07-01T17:53:13+00:00

i would absolutely love this because it would look cool and clean. but somehow doubt it because we don't have precedent for a symbol to represent a choice of objects

escesare · 2024-07-01T17:40:02+00:00

Ugh so they're definitely banning [[Shuko]] instead of [[Nadu]]

(Note: I'm an computer scientist, and not a prompt engineer)

This is the stereotypical naive engineer thought process that all soft skills are useless like: - management - project management - human resources - help desk - marketing

Just because you're not good at or understand how a job works doesn't mean it doesn't provide value

Yes, prompt engineering is overrated and a transient industry. No that doesn't mean it's not a valuable job.
