Spoilers:

Silksong has arenas with 3 mobs that throw discs plus you. Idk about you, but I can't track 7 things moving at once. This isn't fun. Nor is it challenging, you just have to get lucky. I like Silksong, but the only way some the bosses were made challenging was because of constant adds. Hollow Knight rarely had this.

skill issue

game just trying to tell that brute force solution might not work. use tools, use specific charms, use crests that are better suited for specific arena/boss. some tools (such as spiked traps) can literally one shot most mobs and leave you 1v1 with a boss.

dont give up, use your brain, hacker

Why do libraries such as Requests or HTTPX not support this out of the box? It would be really useful to have automatic warning or sentry event after deprecation response.

I understand that this functionality can be easily added as a plugin, but not everyone is aware that such a thing even exists. With default support, it will be easier to upgrade to new API versions and keep stuff up to date.

That's dodging my question. I know theyre just predicting the next word, but that doesn't explain how that works so amazingly well in this case. There's a few steps missing.

If anything this seems like an ad for an AI. When I try these things they can even solve leetcode, for which they actually have the solution in the training set.

Every solvable problem is solved by using known information, patterns, context, etc. We (and LLMs) are using some model of the universe and trying to coordinate it in a way that will help us solve some task. The difference between us and "old" LLMs is that we can generate new information/patterns/etc., immediately add it to our model, and use it to solve more complex problems. New LLMs such as o1-o3 are also capable of thinking over and over again and producing new information (in the current context) and trying to apply it to the current task that might not be solvable with just the information that it was trained on.

Russia does not need allies to defeat the Ukrainian army. Given enough time they will win, even if sanctions/aid to Ukraine make it a pyhrric victory.

Part of the sluggishness has been the desire for the "targeted strike", something that appears to have been reversed with the less discriminate bombing of the last 24 hours.

Russia is big country and it needs lots of men to defend it on all its borders, which means that the forces they can use for invasion are limited. RN it looks like that they run out of soldiers, and Ukraine already started counter attacks on some fronts, so I guess "they will win" will not happen any time soon.
