Brawl Zero
Dionne
Some that support Zero Drag (ZD) argue that the extended long-range could help Stu to close the gap between enemies and him in/after certain situations (e.g. Being pushed away from a Gene/Emz or closing the gap with a Piper.)
Now some that support Gaso Heal (GH) argue that Stu can regain so much health with each super and it's basically 1500-2000 health for Stu if he could dash over and over again. Also, they say that a short quick dash is better than a long-spread out dash.
I agree with both arguments. Nonetheless, according to SpenLC, a pro player, all players in the competitive use GH, as it greatly increases Stu's survivability. As a Stu Main, I couldn't agree more. Stu's health has been nerfed drastically since his release (bcos he's just too good). With 3920 health, Stu could be 3-shot by a lot of different brawlers (we've got the likes of Gene, Tara, Edgar, Penny etc.). Therefore, healing is important in order to let Stu win his lane.
However, I think the most important factor of the choice is up to personal experiences. No matter ZD or GH, it would release its true potential ONLY if the player knows how to use it. If you're comfortable with ZD, go with ZD. If you're comfortable with GH, use GH. The choices are yours.
P.S. This will also be my last post before i kinda 'abandon' this account cos I just lost interest on this wiki. So many OGs were gone and replaced with immature underage users which made the wiki tons worse imo. Tho I've only been here for a short time this has been a very nice place for me, so ty for those people who have been making this a better place.
I totally agree, at the end of the day people should just have fun, its a game, I use zero drag although I do agree that Gaso heal is the better choice in this meta due to the overwhelming amount of cc. For me personally zero drag is more fun and that's why I use it, even in challenges :p
Also just cause the og's left doesn't mean everyone leaves the wiki. We need people like you who make high effort posts to change the wiki for the better and I'm willing to give my best. All hope is not gone. I've seen many great new users too. Just cause the old ones left and immature 9-year olds are the vocal majority now does not mean that the wiki is gonna die anytime soon. At the end of the day, this is a cycle. Let's do the best we can to make the wiki great again.
St. Louis Park High School closed last Friday as a result of the brawl. Several arrests were made in connection to the altercation and multiple students sustained injuries, according to a notice shared by the St. Louis Park Public School District.
The district noted last week that it was implementing various new safety measures, including temporarily increased police presence and the addition of school social workers. However, some parents feel the efforts aren't enough.
Restorative justice-based discipline practices often focus on mediation over punishment, and schools which use the approach encourage students to resolve conflicts in groups. Parents and teachers nationwide have echoed sentiments similar to Serrano's, with some fearing the practices lead to worsened student behavior.
"I just ask that there is a reconsideration of consequences of all," Serrano continued. "I'm a teacher, I can tell you that you're going to lose teachers ... you have to consider the parents who are afraid to send their children here now."
The St. Louis Park Public School District "reaffirmed" restorative justice practices in the summer of 2021, according to a school board document. The document notes that the district's approach to discipline is "reflective" of several of its values, including "racial consciousness," "cultural competence" and "advocacy for equity."
"All students have the right to learn and develop in a setting which promotes respect for self, others and property," the document reads. "Positive and restorative practices can foster student self-direction, positive decision making and responsibility, thus enabling schools to function as places of learning and growth for all students."
A report published by the National Institutes of Health in 2022 notes that while restorative justice practices are often used to "reduce racial disparities," there is little evidence demonstrating how successful they are in addressing the root of such disparities.
When reached for comment, the St. Louis Park Public School District directed Crisis in the Classroom (CITC) to the remarks shared to its website, where it emphasizes its "commitment to fostering a strong and safe learning environment."
Skipping ahead, they got into another argument, about what even counts as science.: LeCun made a rather narrow-minded claim, and Musk called him on it. LeCun then protests too much and digs himself deeper. I basically agree with the first sentence of his monologue, but after that LeCun foolishly conflates the common currency of science (publication) with the thing (discovery) itself. And then he digs himself further to make grand but entirely untenable claims about happiness and impact on the world:
On the other hand, the chatbots of both X.ai and Meta still seem to me to be wildly inadequate, hallucinatory machines that merely hint at what AI could be, but with precious little understanding of the concepts underlying the words they so fluently use.
In case you haven\u2019t heard, there\u2018s a brawl happening over at X, Musk vs LeCun. For days I tried to resist commenting, but so many people (friends, reporters, etc) keep asking me for my opinion I have decided to oblige. The first thing that I will tell you is that each of those not so-gentle men scored some points; neither kept things above the belt.
Musk missed a chance ask to whether any of them actually mattered. (I can\u2019t offhand think of an important recent paper from LeCun that has been independently validated by others.) Merely publishing a paper is not necessarily a sign of genuine progress.
But LeCun\u2019s pettiness speaks for itself. Musk is not going to die bitter and forgotten; he\u2019s not a leading scientist, or a scientist at all, but his electric cars, StarLink network, and reusable rockets won\u2019t be forgotten any time soon, and they represent important substantive contributions to the world. So one point penalty, for LeCun\u2019s cross between unsportsmanlike conduct and complete implausiblity. Back to zero. (Also, dude started the fight, and really ought to lose another point for that.)
LeCun regains one, charitably, for a point that he hinted at but didn\u2019t quite spell out: we need more science if we are to get to AGI. Right now we have a lot of engineering and alchemy, but not enough basic principles and formal understanding. More science here might help. LeCun: 1. (I should dock him a bit for being a scientist on Meta\u2019s payroll, often saying things that cannot easily be understood otherwise, but that\u2019s a story for another day.)
On the other hand, Musk is right that \u201Cif it\u2019s not published, it\u2019s not science\u201D is a ridiculous claim. Lots of science is done inside companies, as Colin Wright points out, and of course the implicit contrapositive is wrong, too: lots of stuff that is published isn\u2019t very good science. More generally, LeCun has emphasized his own narrow-mindedness in his allegation that the only the thing that matter is science; Musk is right that products matter. And AI is a funny hybrid between science and engineering. AI needs more science, but it needs engineering, too. I am giving Musk one point for taking the broader view and calling out the narrow view. That leaves us with a tie, 1-1.
Meta\u2019s AI has been dissected before; it\u2019s not great. By coincidence I played around with Grok, Musk\u2019s latest AI toy, yesterday, and although it has its moments, it can be pretty dismal, too.
Both Musk and LeCun (via Meta) command massive budgets to explore AI; I am not convinced that either is making real progress. Musk is just building bigger and bigger LLMs, and Meta is mostly (despite LeCun\u2019s reservations) mostly doing the same.
In one seaside scrap this week police were called after two people were beaten up by a group of men at the beach, which then escalated into an all-out brawl involving cops, lifeguards and tourists. At another resort, a lifeguard was injured and two aggressors were taken to hospital after a beach battle. In another video clip, an officer was filmed beating and kicking a man, and continuing to do so while he was lying on the ground.
Some passengers are calling it the "cruise from hell." Carnival Legend, a 2,000-plus passenger ship on a 10-day trip through the South Pacific, faced trouble early on when members of an "unruly family threatened and assaulted other passengers and clashed with security staff," says the Sydney Morning Herald. The ship was forced to dock early, closer to Sydney than its final destination of Melbourne, and 23 guests disembarked (six men and three teenage boys were removed, while another 14, including women and children from the same family, also left the boat).
"We have a zero tolerance approach to excessive behavior that affects other guests. In line with this policy, we cooperated fully with local authorities in Australia to remove a large family group who had been involved in disruptive acts aboard the vessel.
