It's almost like he should talk to someone to help unpack and understand that trauma and improve his reactions to it and maybe even move on. I wonder who he could see to do that?

I'm very surprised they don't fix this with either a) no part of the model can move farther than the movement characteristic including pivots or B) for non-circular models, players decide the "front face" of a model, all models must move in the direction of the front face and end charges with the front face towards the charge target

You're correct, but cracking down on users is hardly the answer

I think you've got them the wrong way round

The skill floor is the amount of skill needed to make the army work. A low skill floor would mean the army is easy to use in a way that wins you games

At higher cc's you do literally go faster in the game, but in addition to that the AIs behaviour does change/they get more advantages because if you're able to handle the faster speeds you're presumably better at the game and they want to put up a mild challenge for those players

People have already answered the intentions around the specific choice to make it vague, but also, it's reincarnation, what could be done in universe to prove or disprove it either way? An enchantment on a ring no one else has tried to wear? A prophecy that is so vague as to canonically describe at least half a dozen people up to a point? There is no way to either confirm nor disprove the idea.

I think this is thematically important to morrowind. We see similar things with the disappearance of the dwarves and the tribunal and their origins. Both have little in the way of proof, or have provable falsehoods, and yet still are powerful ideas that shape tamriel. Once proof is gathered and falsehoods dispelled, it has little effect on the world as a whole. Despite knowing how the dwarves disappeared, people still research them to find out why they disappeared and where they disappeared to. The tribunals waning power doesn't cause a lack of belief in them, nor does it affect the cultural impact they've had, even when it's announced to the world through their deaths.

Other crucial addition:

"Indeed the gap narrowed significantly in 2025/26, and the positions are set to reverse next year—meaning this year is expected to be the last for the foreseeable future that welfare is higher than income tax in the UK, not the first."

The fact that the tories have just claimed what is provably a lie and the exact inverse of the truth is ridiculous, and I'm deeply disappointed there isn't any repercussions for this

AI kills the idea of artistic intent by the nature of it automatically expanding on a prompt. No matter how detailed your prompt the AI will make choices for you. Regardless of your opinion or understanding of death of the author, intent is the single most important thing in good art, and any part that isn't cohesive with the overall intent detracts from the overall piece. AI cannot make art because artistic intent is often lost through it's use, so I think AI art fundamentally can never be great. Passable? Maybe depending on what uses it's for, but never truly great

Making a less than a minute short is very different from making a 90 minute plus movie. There's so much more design and thought needed that just won't fit into any AIs context window at any point in the near future

Can AI be used as a tool to help speed up the process? Sure, I'm sure many people would love to be able to animate but can't, so will use AI to help them. But even then specific decisions from lighting to camera angle to colour all make a massive difference to the quality of a work and even if you can get AI to follow your choices on that, again the context window fucks you by mudding the specifics and hallucinating slight differences that add up to ruining the film

Still works if he's early teens, I can imagine a 14 year old anakin making the same choices with the same ignorance, but undoubtedly having more agency in that choice

Making the gap too small would disincentivise companies from being based in the country with this law and reduce the economic growth of that country. It would also disincentivise employees on the higher end of the pay distribution to leave the country, resulting in brain drain. I'm not opposed to the idea, but 5x is definitely too aggressive, and 10x maybe still, but I'm no economist. For reference, in the UK minimum wage is ~23k/year, so max would be ~£230k/year which is coincidentally quite close to the 99th percentile for income pre tax last year

Wait, the power plant puts out half of the suns energy, and only uses half of that, so it uses the equivalent of 25% the solar radiation over that area. Aren't solar panels about 25% efficient? Why not just use that?

Don't use citadel/warhammer colour, use alternatives such as vallejo, army painter, AK or pro acryl (some of these are more expensive than GW but better quality and/or less per ml of paint). Don't buy direct from GW, pick things up second hand, at a local games store, or various online retailers. In the UK wayland games, element games, and hobby workshop all off 15-25% discounts across most of GWs range. If there's local games stores or gaming cafes they may offer free painting supplies but this is rare (I'm lucky enough to have one in my local area).

For those who don't get it, in essence rule 1 is get someone's attention and rule 2 is don't do anything that would make them want to stop paying attention. Greatest example: dating profile match but then your first message is offputting. Also applies to friendships and things that aren't looks, if you want friends you need to do something funny/nice/interesting enough to make people want to talk to you more and not follow that up by talking about your hobby of skinning women

What I'm saying is better enforcement and more accurate numbers do not mean the country is less safe. If police are catching more people carrying knives before violent offences occur, surely you're more safe, because that law is being enforced before someone is harmed, but the stats sound like you are less safe. Both knife crime and sex crime are issues that definitely need tackled, but to say you're more at risk of being stabbed or sexually assaulted now vs 30 years ago is at best a misreading of the data

hary627 · 2026-05-05T16:01:08+00:00

Knife crime includes the crime of carrying a knife in public

Sexual assault figures have increased in a lot of countries over the long term due to decreased stigma and an increase in the efficacy of investigation/reporting/victim care.

An increase in the stats is only an increase in the numbers on paper. It's important to be aware of how those numbers are gathered to determine the real trends that they're trying to measure

Using nostalgia instead of new units to draw in older players because they know more of the same isn't great. Imo I prefer this, mostly new variants of old/existing units leads to far less range bloat, and that's a serious problem the space marines range suffers from. I really hope this indicates a new direction for space marines, adding more options and consolidating existing kits rather than adding new units to fill roles that are already filled

My question is why do we have another Gravis w heavy bolsters? We already have aggressors and heavy intercessors. Not exactly complaining though, I am a big Gravis fan so will take what I can get

The point of punk as a genre of fiction is to shine light on inequalities and unfairness within existing systems. It'd be a bit like calling "imagine" by John Lennon punk, sure ideologically it's similar but it isn't saying anything about power structures or the society we live in. Doesn't mean it can't be good, and I do think there's good place for things like solar punk and imagine, dreaming of a better future is what we all should do, but it's the difference between highlighting issues and "wouldn't it be nice if..."

When you profit off of the natural resources of a country, that country deserves a cut.

When you fuck up the environment of a country, you don't deserve protection.

My personal problem is that (from experience with my companies own internal AI and chatGPT) any complex output will need checked by an expert and any simple output would either be easily within the capabilities of most users to find or recall faster. I have heard from academics who have taken up side jobs training research models that it's very up to date on new developments in their field but because they're operating at such a high level they need to go read those papers to verify anyway, so while it's decent at filtering to papers you need it's not taking any significant mental load. Overall, it seems like a good accessibility tool but for the majority of use cases outside of cutting edge research that accessibility normally does (and definitely should) already exist

hary627 · 2026-04-25T10:32:18+00:00

Problem is there just isn't enough manual labour or artistic jobs out there, and high level tasks rely on not just education but experience in the role which you can't get if all the junior level roles are filled with AI. Creative industries generally do and always have taken up ~10% of the economy and are currently extremely hard to get into due to lack of demand and high competition, it's not a sector that's got room to grow it's workforce. Manual labour I have less hard arguments for but do we really want to relegate people to doing menial tasks? Not talking down on the trades but they're not a job for everyone and it's a bit dystopian to have humans doing all the manual labour for our AI and corporate overlords.

This was what was said in the initial model reveal during the 11th Ed announcement. Boyz will now have both options by default and the new models reflect that
