You said you like where xbow is at but it's literally unplayable. No xbow player in top 100 last season, 2% usage rate, the card is simply dead. Please understand that xbow decks can't work without providing dps, once evo archers were nerfed 3.0 lost the dps that got the locks, and fireball was nerfed too so there was no way to get damage. Xbow needs a significant buff to compensate for all these nerfs like dps/lifetime. Icebow doesn't work for this exact reason, no dps, buffing xbow will make those decks playable again. I want to hear your thoughts on this and some other questions.
1. Do you think tesla could come back to the 30s lifetime and get a small nerf? Against wincons played in back it's significantly weaker as it will have 1/4hp when they reach it.
2. Do you think earthquake deals too much damage to towers? It's a 3 elixir spell that kills buildings and does nearly the same damage as a fireball now, this makes matchups like xbow vs hog and pigs eq nearly impossible, they were even matchups before the nerfs
3. How do you balance 3 elixir support against fireball? Some troops like little prince and fisherman survive it, while ice wizard dies. There should be some consistency. Also the stein doctor should die to fireball imo
@Julesy237@donaldwsjr Longer games that are close and require strategy are far more enjoyable to play and watch, idk why you guys are trying to make games shorter, it's more interesting watching a 5 minute close game where you don't know who wins until the last seconds than a 2-3 minute 3 crown race.
Think increased damage to troops and buildings? Or faster retargeting? It's a really weak card if you don't have dps in your deck, that's why icebow sucks, you can't get a lock. Also the archers nerf hurt 3.0 really bad since it reduced dps (understand the nerf, but i think stein is the problem since they have good synergy with it, nerfing stein would reduce their use rate), coupled with fireball nerf there is no way to win matchups that were even before like hog and pigs eq which are now impossible. I think eq should have a tower damage nerf since it destroys buildings and has nearly the same damage as fb.
Also there are some interactions that are inconsistent, like lp and fisherman not dying to fb but ice wiz yes, since all are 3 elixir cards they should either all die or survive.
Maybe revert tesla to 30s to make it consistent to the rest of the buildings and give it a small hp nerf? If the opponent places the wincon in the back it's at 1/4 hp when it reaches the tesla, so it gets no value, this hurts a lot.
If you predict AI could cure most major diseases and then propose slowing it down, explain that trade-off to someone on a cancer ward. See whether responsible pacing survives contact with a clock that actually matters.
@SenSanders Superintelligence would drive humanity forward, stop talking about a subject that far exceeds your capabilities, you are a senile old cunt that probably craps himself
Fireball is gonna be useless fucking idiots, genuinely who will use it instead of lightning or rocket
Also give xbow a bigger buff to compensate for all the 3.0 nerfs, there is no way to break through without the evo archers dps, you can see from the stats how trash it is top ladder
GPT-6 Astra is out, and the part that is not just another Critical cyber headline is the 3D and real-world jump.
On BenchCAD it reconstructs CAD from multi-view renders at 95.9% geometric overlap against Sol’s 83.3% and Fable 5.1’s 84.3%, and on workplace-style automation it more than doubles Sol on AutomationBench at 41.4% versus 18.1%, while posting 92.7% on ScreenSpot-Pro and 72.6% on OSWorld 2.0. FrontierMath Tier 4 sits at 97.6% and Terminal-Bench Science at 64.6%, which is where the academic gap shows, but Artificial Analysis still has Fable 5.1 ahead on the Intelligence Index at 65.7 versus Astra’s 61.2, so this is not a clean sweep.
It is also the first model OpenAI put at Critical cyber under the Preparedness Framework: ExploitBench 100% versus Sol’s 78.5%, two eval zero-days in the internal V8 port, and the Daybreak-gated offensive path is not the default product.
RSA-260 had sat unfactored since the challenge list was published, and today Eric Lu posted a 130-digit prime that divides it, with a cofactor that multiplies back to the published N, and no method.
It is 260 decimal digits, 862 bits, the next challenge number after RSA-250 which fell in 2020.
Muse Spark 1.3 is $1.25 in and $4.25 out, the same Standard rate as 1.2, and the story is Meta's own claim of 20% fewer tool calls rather than another king on the Intelligence Index.
It is live in Muse Code and on the Meta Model API, cache hits are $0.15. Meta also says about 25% fewer tokens versus 1.2, and that it asks before consequential actions. Artificial Analysis, separately, has the public xhigh at 61 and the partner-only max at 62, one under Opus 5.
Claude Fable 5.1 is not a leap from Opus 5 on the general index. Artificial Analysis has it at 66 at max effort, three points above Opus 5, and the knowledge-work evals sit inside the same noise.
The leap is agentic scientific research. Terminal-Bench-Science 0.1 is the benchmark that asks a model to run real scientific workflows in a terminal, not to pass a quiz, and Fable 5.1 scores 52.6% on it against 29.0% for Opus 5 and 24.7% for Fable 5. Even with a standard error of about four points, that is almost double, which is the first time this generation actually moved on science agents rather than stacking another couple of points on the Intelligence Index.
OpenAI spent four years making models available through Cursor, then used a change-of-control clause the minute SpaceX bought them. They wrote a blog post that names Musk, cites X and SpaceXAI, and tells developers the editor they already live in is no longer trusted enough to get GPT.
November 12 is the proposed shutoff. They called that the maximum notice the contract allows, which is a polite way of saying they used the smallest window they could still dress up as care.
The line about caring deeply that models stay broadly available for developers is the joke. Broadly available, except in the coding tool a huge chunk of those developers actually open. Bring-your-own-key is the escape hatch they left so they can say they didn't cut anyone off, while they cut the native path that made Cursor useful in the first place.
Anthropic is putting more Claude compute into the same editor. OpenAI is walking out of it and calling it safety.
The Information says Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12.9B. Last year they wouldn't even take $500M at $7B valuation so Nvidia wouldn't own the table.
Business Insider says the talks still have no signed paper and can still die. Neither company has said a word.
The question isn't "did they buy the GitHub of AI". It's whether Hugging Face stays a public square once the chip company writes the check.
