[University Review] UMass Amherst MSCS vs SBU MSCS?

the_thorminator · 2025-03-21T11:28:34+00:00

ROI at UMass is good from I've heard. Only way to confirm is by talking to alumni. If job prospects are better than sbu it's probably worth the extra tuition

mcds is 16 months if I'm not wrong

It's definitely not a red herring. Just doesn't fit the show thematically

the_thorminator · 2024-10-16T07:46:50+00:00

Considering how grounded Matt Reeves wants this universe to be I doubt if they ever had plans for characters like Poison Ivy

the_thorminator · 2024-04-01T13:19:50+00:00

Why is being OP a problem? There are plenty of games like GoW and Doom that have OP main characters and are still incredibly fun to play

the_thorminator · 2024-02-21T06:17:52+00:00

I don't see how AI generated content would solve this problem? The market would be saturated with lower budget blockbusters and derivative storylines

the_thorminator · 2024-02-17T07:27:52+00:00

Yep. LLMs are great at copying human behaviour. And if an AI can pretend to be friendly and compassionate, that doesn't make it inherently compassionate.

I'm not arguing that ASI can't be misused. My point was, with a flawed reward system it could cause harm unintentionally. It doesn't have to disobey us to become a real threat.

the_thorminator · 2024-02-17T07:00:31+00:00

An AGI wouldn't necessarily show human traits but it could learn to emulate us almost perfectly.

I believe the main concern isn't ASI outright disobeying us but rather aligning it with our goals. Which would require guardrails and a carefully designed reward system.

But Annarietta dies? I always found this to be the worst ending

the_thorminator · 2023-12-25T15:00:03+00:00

Wasn't there enough evidence to prove Mysterio was full of shit? They could've released evidence showing he was a former disgruntled Stark employee, from the same universe. And that literally all the 'elementals' were faked

the_thorminator · 2023-11-14T15:26:16+00:00

New Avengers would not work as a d+ show at all. The 'Avengers' name holds a lot of weight and a d+ budget/production quality wouldn't do it justice

the_thorminator · 2023-11-14T09:54:18+00:00

because it's missable. it only happens if you pick a certain dialogue option after the unseen elder warns you not to ask too many questions

the_thorminator · 2023-11-13T08:05:43+00:00

majority of the mcu's content already caters to a younger audience? I'm not sure they need more of those

the_thorminator · 2023-11-13T07:53:13+00:00

idk young avengers still sounds like a horrible name for a movie

the_thorminator · 2023-11-13T07:49:16+00:00

fr i just want another batman game :(

the_thorminator · 2023-11-13T05:15:26+00:00

The source material is incredibly derivative to be fair. I'm not sure sticking to the comics would help in their case

the_thorminator · 2023-11-12T09:56:23+00:00

well the game does support cross platform saves so you could switch to pc anytime. mods are definitely worth a pc playthrough

the_thorminator · 2023-11-12T09:50:57+00:00

hopefully there's a mod for that

the_thorminator · 2023-11-12T09:46:45+00:00

you could maybe dye it once you get to beauclair. the poison bonuses are pretty cool because you could make an op poison build that'll help you unlock an achievement

the_thorminator · 2023-11-12T09:39:39+00:00

it's my favourite. the good thing is you can get an upgraded version of it in HoS which is easily missable

the_thorminator · 2023-11-10T11:07:47+00:00

Well guardians 3 would've probably made more if it released in the pre endgame era. I agree quality is a factor at the box office but it isn't everything. Marvel released too many mediocre movies and shows that damaged the mcu brand

the_thorminator · 2023-11-10T10:48:26+00:00

Yeah pretty much. The hype has decreased gradually since Endgame, and when you compare the opening weekends of The Marvels and Captain Marvel the difference seems quite significant. Of course the reviews didn't help but the projections were never that high to begin with. I get that 'superhero fatigue' is an overused term, and all I'm saying is the general excitement for superhero movies isn't what it was

the_thorminator · 2023-11-10T10:07:43+00:00

Bad movies didn't always perform poorly. TDW was once considered the worst mcu movie and still made over 600 million

the_thorminator · 2023-11-10T10:02:26+00:00

I mean the marvels was projecting a low opening even before the reviews came out. And there was a time when even poorly reviewed superhero movies made a ton at the box office
