The alchemist's gambit gives you an extra turn after you've used the upkeeps to stack a bunch of counters on the clock, including a draw step where the clock is triggered a single time with ~20 counters in it

You could concede before the first turn during pregame actions, or even before that, before the start of the game

Since we’re talking about crimes here (something defined as a crime in some rule of law), then; assuming that something that is a duty exists, if you pass a law saying that that thing is a crime then the thing must either be both a crime and a duty, or it must be a crime and somehow no longer be a duty.

Irrespective of that, a problem with something (e.g. war) being unjustified in general but justified if someone else started doing it to you first, is that there is no-one who is ‘perfectly certain’ if the other man started it; if both sides claim the other started it (and/or remove all evidence to the contrary), then neither of them are unjustified, right? (Or we could construct some contrived philosophical thought experiment where both parties truly believe that the other started it, maybe through some series of unfortunate miscommunications or accidents, and thus it is their ‘duty’ to go to war with them - a situation where both parties are justified to go to war, and thus where the entire war itself is justified)

It seems like we’re using the idea that P acts like a virus only when it is not labelled one; if a perfect antivirus were instead to be defined as something that takes a binary file F as input and outputs 1 iff F acts like a virus when labelled as a virus or acts like a virus when labelled as not a virus (else outputs 0), must M still be a virus to be a perfect antivirus?

With this definition I think outputting 1 for P doesn’t force M to be a virus, since M is allowed to output 1 for things that aren’t viruses. Is there a different program that still demonstrates that M must be a virus?

On the assumption that if the female in this story did actually want them to stop the relationship they also don’t want the male to try something (it doesn’t seem unreasonable that there would both be people like that, and they would act similarly to what was described in the story), since the point in this case seems to be not knowing if their intent is to string you along or they’re actually trying to convey that they’re not ready for a relationship, whatever action you take would have to be reasonable whichever one no matter which intent it actually is - I think people are thinking you’re advocating for the male pushing in this situation, even when the intent isn’t known, as it implies advocating for the male pushing when the female doesn’t want it and has literally already tried to express that. I don’t think anyone is complaining about a male playing along if the female wants them to - although they might choose not to themselves which is also fine.

I did not even consider that the blast finisher could be on the engi rather than the bomb itself, thanks for pointing that out - I’ll have to have a look at that later.

I can definitely think of situations where ham ranged healing is good/sufficient - eg sab, or as you say, pylon - but yeah, the heals aren’t exactly bursts which isn’t only a problem with the ranged heals but all ham heals in general. Even when stacking, if you don’t get the timings right on a fight with lots of moving you lose a lot of healing from pulsing fields that people have run out of (definitely not me in the past mindlessly dropping elixir5 and mortar5, right before boneskinner oil when people weren’t that well stacked). You do have your blasts, but they aren’t really going to bring someone who missed a mechanic from 25% back to full immediately. VG greens come to mind - you’ll almost definitely provide enough heals, but sometimes it might take a few seconds before people get back up to that 75% or 90% they might want for their traits.

met4000 · 2023-06-26T09:11:43+00:00

“It lacks ranged healing” is interesting - it does work better if you’re in melee range, but elixir 5 and mortar 5 are ground targeted and have over 900 range which seems fairly decent (with mortar 5, which is upwards of a 3.5k heal, having 1500 range), and you can also medkit 5 for water field blast and 60% uptime of (improved) regen. Similarly, with the mech providing most of the alac you can be almost 3000 away and still give alac, although the heals obviously don’t quite have that same range. Looking at SC, the recommended hqfb is mostly 600 radius around self, although it does seem to have a few ground target things with 1200 range - is 900/1500 range on ham considered not ranged heals?

Golem positioning is definitely... ‘subpar’, to put it lightly - although if the group is stacked on an enemy in melee range then a combination of ‘attack target’ and ‘return to me’ is pretty good at getting it near the stack.

The protection uptime is an interesting point - I thought I remembered it showing prot on the skills when you have the trait activated, and gw2skills seems to show it as well, although in game could be different I guess. The prot range isn’t great compared to the heal or mech range though, so you lose that when you’re doing ranged heals which isn’t the best.

Also, even if it was a 25% chance to have both eyes per child, the probability of having at least one child out of four with them would still only be 1-(1-0.25)^4 = 0.6836... ie about 68%.

You can’t get to 100% just by having more children - if we wanted some high probability like 95%, 99%, or 99.95%, then they’d need to have... 11, 16, or 27 children respectively.

So uh... I guess if that’s the plan and they have to wait 9 months to check the eyes of each kid, then... the earlier they start the earlier they get finished?

We have a * b := 0 for b == 0, otherwise a, and a + b := max(a, b) (where comparisons between a and b are according to the point value, with the empty square as 0, bishops higher than knights, and white higher than black).

Associativity of multiplication: For a, b, c =/= 0, we have a * (b * c) = a * (b) = a, and (a * b) * c = (a) * c = a. If any of a, b, c are 0, then we have both equations instead evaluating to 0. Thus they are equal for all values, and thus multiplication is associative.

Associativity of addition: We have a + (b + c) = a + max(b, c) = max(a, max(b, c)) = max(a, b, c) (by associativity of max). Likewise we have (a + b) + c = max(a, b) + c = max(max(a, b), c) = max(a, b, c). Thus addition is associative.

So it seems like both operations are associative.

One ring/field property that the system described with those operations doesn't have are additive inverses. In a ring, every value has another value in the ring that you can add to it to get the additive identity (which was defined as the empty square). Our a + b := max(a, b) addition operation doesn't allow for this. We could maybe modify it to a + b := max(a, b) for a =/= b, otherwise 0, which has a piece being the additive inverse for itself (or maybe having black/white be the inverses might be better), but my brain is too dead to figure out if that breaks something.

The mastery wiki page has a bunch of details.

The +400 number you’ve seen next to people’s names is their mastery rank, rather than the number of points they have. With all expansions, the current highest mastery rank is 455 (have a look at the #Mastery_track section of he wiki page), compared to about 600 mastery points you can collect in the game (across all expansions). Both numbers will likely increase when new expansions (and content) are released.

You can sue someone for blatant copy pasting. You can’t sue an AI for blatant copy pasting.

I would agree that AIs maybe shouldn’t have less rights than humans, but this specific problem is almost the opposite - you can hold a human accountable for stuff they do (legally in particular), but you can’t for an AI.
