I have found paradox games to have uneven game mechanics; some run miles wide, some of them run deep, and many others are just very superficial, and there is no reliable indication which will be which when you are playing fresh.

That makes sense, but at the end of the day, it may be more fun to play around with opponents that act more relatedly. This could take the form of in-game/session-appropriate diplomatic responses that don't read like pre-canned te

You are getting downvoted, but this is a cool idea. Diplomacy has historically been a weak part of the series, and being able to shore that up may be a lot of fun to play against.

It is _rough_. People say it has gotten better since release, but if you have not played it before, and were to play it fresh right now, it is not great. The UI is both dense and vapid at the same time, UI glitches/bugs, jarring all-or

I have found that a hybrid viewport screenshot + textual 'semantic snapshot' approach leads to the best outcomes, though sometimes text-only can be fine if the underlying page is not made of a complete mess of frameworks that woul

Is this a joke? The people with literal blood on their hands have the blood on their hands. Stop deflecting.

We need to agree to disagree on this one; the claim that C is fine and does not cause harm due to its multitude of foot-guns, I think, is an egregious and false claim. So don't make false claims and don't post toxic positivity, I

How many asterisks do you need in order to be technically correct while also missing the point?

How was this flamebait? It is an example of how bad programming choices/assumptions/guardrails costs lives, a counterargument to the statement of 'And yet, it never does'. Splitting hairs if the language is C or assembly

A budget that is influenced by the budgets of everything else. If you have $100 in free 'foo' money for 'foo' efforts, suddenly you do not need to fund 'foo' from your general fund and you can move those dollar

Wouldn't faster boot times mean that scale-out can be done on-demand? Whether this is preferable or not over poorer runtime performance is up to the domain, no?

It would presumably work in a virtualized environment.

I cited sources; you are trying to redefine the word "explode" to not mean explode. Regardless, litigating about the word "explode" is the least interesting part of what happened to this plane; at at the end of day, nobo

This logic does not follow from or to "That's 100 times more than I thought." You can be both horrified at something and also understand that it is thing that happens.

English is the top language spoken in all the world; it would be lovely to facilitate better communication with that population.

There are too few examples to say this is a trend. There have been counterexamples of top models actually lowering the pricing bar (gpt-5, gpt-3.5-turbo, some gemini releases were even totally free [at first]).

I agree with the sentiment that we should not make a habit with resting on our rights and that government has an important role to play. However, I do not think we (society) necessarily deserve our situation because others are maliciously c

This is gross; I would not want to live in a society of these kinds of people.

It is funny to see the performance improve across many of the models, somewhat miraculously, throughout the day today.

Asking it to clarify costs nothing and you end up getting up to speed with the language of the domain; everyone wins.

Aside from the adherence to the 6-word constraint example, I preferred the old model.

Sounds like it would be a lot of churn for nothing; if they can fund a fork, then they could fund the original project, no?

There has never been a situation in which any nation peppered with thousands of nukes has "bounced back", and nations have been flatly, permanently, toppled when faced with less than that hardship.

Yes, and do you believe they are?
