Wiccan Scam feels pretty good

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).

    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.

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!

    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)

    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).

    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.

    It's very weird to me that you're only listing loud things children do... Like, have you ever been around a sleeping child? Do they bother you? What about in a classroom, watching a movie, or running in the distance (out of earshot)?

    Average volume of a child is higher than adults, but only by a factor of 2 or so. And their noises are interpretable, you can definitely figure out what they mean, unlike the adult noises.
