.@ajlvi when I click on either of the name fields on Elo project, my Chrome gets trigger happy and thinks I'm trying to enter payment information. Not a new development but I forgot to say something earlier.

I have resolved the Riemann hypothesis. I will share this result once the community is prepared for the magnitude of my paper.

if there's one thing OpenAI can be trusted to do, it's monitoring the precise activities of 10,000 agents

We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work. We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem. While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models. However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs. unforced).

.@IsaacKing314 is this supposed to work the way it's working on MTGO? My opponent has a Frog under the Cauldron and is using Emperor's native triggered ability to cheat in creatures that they exiled to jump it. I would think Emperor's abilities are linked and this shouldn't work.

So I guess I signed up for the sunday 2v2 event but my teammate couldn’t because the event capped?? How is this allowed to happen? Help desk said my only option is to repeatedly click refresh tickets and hope somebody drops? #rqbarcelona @riftboundop

Phlage ban is a huge blow to Stormless Storm. I'll have to get back in the lab

Phlage Titan of Fire's Fury and Lotus Field are banned in Modern Violent Outburst and Umezawa's Jitte are unbanned in Modern

Designed a deck to maximize my chances of winning in untimed rounds in top 16. Unfortunately, top 16 isn’t untimed—it’s 3 hours, then the highest remaining seat wins. I reached an unassailable position, but ran out of time. I was too focused on my game rather than the tournament-

Got tired of seeing people play 2 Grapeshot in the 75 so I cut the card entirely and top 8ed a Challenge. Really cannot anti-recommend this enough unless you are a true sicko but I'll probably keep it up for a bit.

it's unreal that I've gotten 9th in every Challenge since the change and no one will ever know

Tony Modo determining that the Saturday morning Modern Challenge should start at 8:30am but when it's replaced with a Showcase it should start at 8

(if only there were a way to play Magic without randomized deckbuilding)

Replying to @brownefordenver @kamo_potato
I did say it magnified the problem. Sealed just always has this problem. And the solution as a player is the same. Really, Wotc should just have it all be draft if they can have the software handle it
