I love this one! So good

Chapter Forty-Eight - The Thirteenth God I might have preferred to venture upward a touch more carefully, but that's me; Jena takes the steps in a few heartbeats and puts her shoulder to the door of the commandant's office without even check...

I mean the "good" here is pretty relative anyway. "Sorry we stole all your IP, we promise you a modest check if we're still here in a few years. We will definitely do it again."

Yeah I assume they will collapse in a pile of flaming rubble before the bill comes due

I blame YouTube. They need their "Wizards TOTALLY RUINS EVERYTHING" thumbnails for clicks so the narrative gets twisted to fit

Yeah it's not even complicated. If I were a dictator I'd have a minion watching Polymarket 24/7 to alert me when the price of "US strike tomorrow" spikes

The short version is that Kalshi and Polymarket have claimed they should be regulated by the CFTC (thus avoiding state regulations) but the Trump CFTC isn't actually doing it, leading to legalized nationwide gambling

Panini is a Sandwich type Pokemon who does extra damage to Grass and Salad type opponents

Ideal LLM tasks are a bit like NP problems in that way.

Like search over a large corpus is a good one IFF checking the result is correct is easy. ("Get me a link to X.") Hard to execute, simple to check.

No one would care about prediction markets if they hadn't discovered it's a loophole that allows completely unregulated nationwide sportsbooks

Also (really primarily) sports gambling. And insider trading on sports gambling

Naptime is important

On the plus side I made some new friends

You can make a case for Napoleon. Legal code, etc.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

The weird thing is you guys won your election

You think that was always true? Like were the Nazis totally cringe? Or is our new generation of war criminals just ALSO internet-poisoned idiots

Yeah. I think this is why coding is such a good case; coders are very used to the "try a thing, fix a bunch of errors, try again" cycle so the LLM failures are par for the course. But trying the same thing when you don't have a compiler and automated testing is ... bad.

Unfortunately it is not really a consolation

We're sorry, we suck

Ship of Smoke and Steel (The Wells of Sorcery Trilogy Book 1) In the lower wards of Kahnzoka, the great port city of the Blessed Empire, eighteen-year-old ward boss Isoka enforces the will of her criminal masters with the power of Melos, the Well of Combat.

It is, but if it's live action often the little kid is a bit older. At least if you want them to act and do things other then just be rescued. (Obviously Baby Yoda isn't a real actor.)

Definite Phantom Menace vibes. Working with little kids in live action is so hard

I don't care if he LOOKS like game Atreus, but getting like a ten year old to act well in the part is really hard. I'm shocked they didn't do the obvious thing and age him up. Make him 14, why not? Getting a good actor would be so much easier.

This ... does not look good. I'm frankly shocked they didn't do the obvious thing and age up Atreus for the adaptation; make him like 14 or something.

But if you told me this was a shot from one of those YouTube sketch comedy shows I'd believe you

The kid was always going to be rough in live action but that looks Phantom Menace bad

Chapter Forty-Seven - The Thirteenth God We split into three groups. Agni leads a small detail to the barracks to restrain any guards still in the process of getting ready, hopefully without bloodshed. Margie takes half the remainder to the ...

Time for a bit of the good old ultraviolence #thethirteenthgod
