I plotted the damage from Death Fire Touch vs Electrocute on a AP build to compare their scaling.

Interestingly before your first big item Electrocute out-damages Death Fire Touch (DFT) in most realistic scenarios. But DFT scales much better with items than Electrocute if you manage to apply it for ~6+ seconds.

Other interesting observations:
- Looking at the Electrocute chart, the jump in damage when buying Rabadon is much lower than the jump when buying Stormsurge, Shadowflame or even mPen boots! This is because its AP ratio is very low, but its flat scaling with levels is decent, so mPen items do a lot of work.

- The AD scaling of DFT is quite high! A 10 second DFT burn is equivalent to a spell with a scaling of 107% Bonus AD and 38% AP

What if the future of robotics isn't combat humanoids but a tiny open-source robot whose personality is crowdsourced?

Robotics engineer from HuggingFace/PollenRobotics here. I've never been fully comfortable with robot faces that try too hard to look human, the uncanny valley is real and I think it's the wrong design direction for robots. I'm trying something different: leave the robot its own non-human face, and use a human face purely as a controller to make it expressive on its terms!

Step 1 is making this better. Step 2 is flipping it around: use this human → robot mapping to generate training data for a model that drives the robot's body language when it's speaking autonomously, so it doesn't just sit there blank during Text To Speech.
