I tried a few recently on Civ 6 Deity, and they all lose pretty quickly.

My politics are whatever the exact inverse of this opinion is.

Argon is easily the worst model I've tried this year. From all the discourse I've seen, that seems to be the general consensus.

This might be the first comment I've ever seen saying something nice about the model.

I don't think that's true.

I was at Microsoft when they user-tested Windows 7 to death. Including installing eye tracking software during sessions so you could monitor where the user was looking at on the screen.

That data was in part used to justify the changes made in 8: "Users only click on the start menu 0.1% of the time and when they do they focus on a narrow portion of the screen."

> Do you then recommend Sol for technical documentation?

Every model I've tried is just abysmal at this, for what it's worth.

If any do it well please let me know and I'll give it a spin.

Both Anthropic and OpenAI have started banning people who use their models to do this. People have started homebrewing with DeepSeek.

If you haven't seen the trend on X of people hacking their TVs to remove the bloat and spyware then add in better UI it's been pretty awesome to watch.

I'm curious how they got into the business in the first place.

From everything that came out they seem terribly unqualified.

It's not that 4 isn't a valid seed (though insanely unlikely) it's that once I know your values weren't picked randomly because I guessed one of them I can easily figure out the others.

In this case one cert gets defeated and you go the odds of that number being that low are 2^-384. Essentially impossible if it were randomly selected. It's much more likely you didn't choose that at random so I start guessing a bunch of other low numbers for your other certificates and find them quickly.

This was incredibly enjoyable thanks for sharing.

Like a decade ago I got into a huge fight with a Staff Eng at our company over Dart. I had just been put in charge of the company's architecture and one of the first things I did was migrate everything to TypeScript (which was relatively new at the time). He was so angry I didn't pick Dart. Good choice by me in retrospect (though picking Angular 2 over React not so much).

Trump decided to rebrand it as Super Intelligence since AI is so politically divisive.

Actually, one of the biggest criticisms of him is that he overperformed with bad teams.

The NFL has a draft system where the worst team in the league gets the best pick in the next year's draft.

Tomlin dragging teams that should have won 2 or 3 games into the playoffs each year just to lose immediately meant that the Steelers never got any good draft picks and thus never improved the team year of year.

They were stuck in a purgatory of sorts.

For those who don't know Mike Tomlin is the former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the second longest tenured coach in the league, and never had a losing season before resigning his job last year.

The idea of any NFL head coach having time to do this, especially a winning one, is absurd.

I replied elsewhere but:

- Gunpowder and steel had essentially nothing to do with Cortez's victory.

- The Aztecs did not see the Spaniards as Gods

- Smallpox played a role at the very end but had little to do with Cortez's victory.

- They leave out the primary reason Cortez won (his ability to build a coalition of native people who hated the Aztecs).

- They leave out the secondary reason Cortez won (superior European battle tactics).

- They ignore the fact that there were Europeans fighting on both sides (a delegation was sent from Cuba to stop Cortez; they were the ones that actually brought the smallpox not Cortez).
