@Ian__Robb I often feel the same way about pidgeot EX in tank terapagos, god that card is so broken against non-budew decks but it's a total liability against budew

@ca98am79 @KelseyTuoc This took me embarassingly long to find a solution, the answer was to do have the knight promotion part be irrelevant and it was a discovered mate

@limitless_robin https://t.co/VGfGUwhIye wrote an article using the data thanks!

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @Chase yeah sadly I still have the single point of failure that if somebody physically came to my house they could use my biometric scan, and then backdoor their way into other things using more standard means.

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @Chase BUT having multiple identies which all can't be pwned at the same time is notable

If my email gets hacked I can use facebook to tell everyone ect

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @Chase yeah it's more about laziness than anything else in practice.

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @Chase Something where you make a fake lastpass site, and get the user to type their master password into your fake site, For example make a fake piracy manga site

Then when user makes account with password manage password send 2 emails one from "lastpass" asking "was this you?"

@IsaacKing314 @Chase If your phone got comprimised can you call your bank and tell them to prevent them from transfering money

if your phone AND wallet got stolen can you defend your debit card

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @Chase Many points of failure meaning forms of multi factor authentication, and having it be that if one falls not all of them fall

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @Chase This is more about getting your master password compromised via phising attacks than about somebody hacking lastpass fwiw

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 Single point of failure.

Some passwords are best used with many points of failure (and thus should be as secure as Runescape)

I straight up don't understand how runescape account security is stronger than @Chase but this is the world I live in.

@bpodgursky @eigenrobot China and Singapore or just singapore?

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 A very misclick oriented poll

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@ben_j_todd Oh that right, I'm still confused as to why that caused a massive drop, adding search seems like it would be obvious next step so I figured it would cause a small drop but it shouldn't have been a *major surprise*

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@ben_j_todd I don't understand the drop in late 2024, sure chat GPT getting all this press coverage was unexpected amounts of improvement but what happened in late 2024 to cause a sudden shift downward

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@ptcgMeesie6x6 @limitless_robin The main reason winrates differ so much day 1 to day 2 is noise, only dragapult dusknoir is really all that significant a change.

At the point you're going into matchup data on day 2 noise is going to massively overwhelm signal

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@ESYudkowsky Perfection!

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @KarolusWangus @tracewoodgrains A lot of what they said is basically 2020s era internet puffery

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@IsaacKing314 @KarolusWangus @tracewoodgrains I can easily see "Causing harm" The question really is "provably false" since you know all I see are cited insults that are mildly dubious but no more dubious than stuff on MSNBC

[Edmund Nelson @UssGordoncap]

@limitless_robin Interesting how the correlation between play limitless win rates and Atlanta regionals wasn't all that high! The correlation coefficient for decks that were popular enough to have large sample sizes was only .39
