    I have been having a very nice run today with: 4x one drops (ideally some scalers) Zabu and Psylock Wiccan storm Legion and Blink Loki (or some other stuff generator) plus some cheap stuff. The dream is to play cards in the order above, something like sunspot - zabu - wiccan - 2drop + storm - legion the flooding and lock the opponent out on turn 6. But most every game I either get the full scam combo, or the wiccan line. Retreat if you don't start with a one drop (which is quite rare).

    Bravo for bringing the notes. On a first glance, some of these feel like they require subjectivity (like, do we really believe the political spectrum is 1d?), but I agree I could run the computation myself from this.

    I'd probably provide a link to a 3d-print of the tile, and/or describe the vague shape without the precise measurements. Something like "the tile is shaped like an isometric view of a top-hat, with a bite taken out of the top left". To be honest, I don't think the diagrams are all that load-bearing for people who can see either - hard to parse, impossible to tell if they are honest, etc. That's why there's so many proofs. Finally, for the actual connections one could break it into an adjacency graph. Each tile a vertex, each flat face dual to an edge (labeled with which face), and specify them out.

    All this said; I'm not an expert. Part of why I'm excited for the forum and wanted to share.

    And there is no "the" way to accessibility, surely. It takes dozens of things, most small. I agree visual LLMs will/have been a nice tool.

    It wont surprise you to hear that they don't! And TikZ is one of the main packages not well supported by XML/HTML converters. You need the authors to add alt text; best method I've seen is to make the TikZ/PGF in a standalone file, import as a png/pdf with the graphicx package, and add alt text that way.

    You may have seen that cool new arXiv feature 'experimental HTML' - this is about stuff like that! Latex (and hence a lot of math research) is not well suited to screen readers, but HTML is. If you'd like to learn more about how your paper can be in the format, or just about how to make research more accessible, this could be useful!

    And, for bonus points, how are they made? These seem like an awfully important test piece. I'm pretty sure they're just checking for glucose with some enzyme or something. But who knows, maybe its something simple or everyday? Are all brands using the same materials?

    depending on how much want to do, I have seen kits for ~$30. Pretty sure I've seen some small kits taken for camping, so they can't be too pricy. And if you can't afford it, just start bringing it up around town! Maybe somebody will get excited and do it for you.

    Math people: would a ship that is 1/4 slower but can complete a 180° turn 1/4 faster escape its pursuer?
  • Artisian Artisian Now 100%

    Fortunately containers can get bigger =)

    While we aren't all the same, there's a difference between things that require holding 8 complicated things in mind at once, and things that require a little language learning and the intelligence to solve a crossword. This is closer to the latter - like doing a crossword in Spanish. You need to know a bunch of little things, but learning them is basically all tedium and not brilliant insights. (Taking these puzzles, creating a dozen new variants, and solving all of those probably does require managing a lot of complexity. But to understand the work of others, is not so bad)

  • Artisian Artisian Now 100%

    If it's any consolation, you are almost certainly within ~3 years of understanding the solution and a dozen variants. It's not a super deep area. Probably doesn't really require calculus (you need continuous as in 'the lion doesn't teleport; that's cheating', but I think not much more).

    I'm a little sad nobody with the relevant mathematics background has jumped in. These puzzles are considered; a simple version is the lion-hunting-man where both have the same speed and infinite turning speed (eg, this paper, where the arena they play in varies).

  • I have been walking to the nearest grocery, and have just had my foldable shopping cart break. The large plastic wheels shattered, and made for a very unpleasant time dragging the thing back home. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for a good cart, or even one that's relatively easy to repair. Foldable is not important. Not getting stuck on every crack in the sidewalk would be a plus.

    I think this is the proper way to treat games that you're done developing. My only requests might be:

    • Adding a way to self-host an instance (with mod tools)
    • Open sourcing (so the community can fix their own bugs)

  • Why would your best friend or someoneyou mutually considered a good friend suddenly ghost you?
  • Artisian Artisian Now 100%

    It's likely in some cultural groups - and has been true for a friend or two of mine. A particular example was someone going to a Psych ward, where their phone was kept in a vault. Obviously you know more context than me. But the probability is nonzero.

  • ChatGPT cannot do punctuation grammar correctly even if you forced it
  • Artisian Artisian Now 100%

    Surprised nobody mentioned this: Most of these models use tokenization; they group words into groups of symbols like "ea" and "the" and "anti" - they don't pick which key to press for the text, they pick which bunch of keys to press. These are called tokens. I believe there are tokens it just can't output, or tokens that are extremely unlikely. I could imagine that "etc." and "...." are tokens with relatively high probabilities, but perhaps "etc..." doesn't break into a nice set of them? (or the tokens it can be broken into all have extremely low weights for the model).

    [Help] How to unlock carrier on a second hand iphone?

    I've got an old iphone SE 2 second hand, pretty sure the seller is dead at this point. I'd like to use a new sim card, but the carrier is locked (I think Tmobile)? Glancing online, it seems like the retailer will want proof of purchase. Is there anyway to do this easily from home, or should I start looking at jailbreaking it? (This is for a friend; I'd rather keep this as simple as possible) Follow up for any future wanderers: This worked, but only because the seller was indeed dead. They asked me to pay the balance on the account, took a credit card payment, and then unlocked it ~5 min later. Not too painful.

    What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three? So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that *aren't* co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.

    Recently noticed this open source math exchange-like site. The community is pretty slow (seems like there's lots of people interested in answering questions, but not so many posting them), which may make it a good target if you've got a good question that isn't getting the attention you'd like. Curious if anybody knows other alternatives.
