    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    To play devil's advocate, in order: grep! idk, the repo I work in most of the time is a giant mono repo that is approaching 20GB in size. Asking any IDE to have intellisense worth a damn is not feasible. gdb! But also, the system I work on most of the time is a custom modification of python...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I don't see how vi, vim, emacs, whatever offer anything competitive wrt to actual programming. Their proponents are almost always people that have gone through the pain and self hurt of learning their hotkeys. But rarely do you see someone sold on their feature set and excited to learn it...

    Seasons 10 and 11 are even more shit if you assume the incompetency was purposeful. What else has this faggot published. Oh god, he's one of those people that thinks the star wars prequels were good. 13 minutes ranking the Wachowskis' movies when it should be a single entrant list. Accuses...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    How do you test this feature? AI is difficult enough to test as is, dynamically generating a UI seems too far in that direction. I have a friend that works in AI research and to test the output of their AI, they use other AIs as baselines. o_O

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Have LLMs gotten cheap enough to do that? IIRC, you'd have to retrain the model every time you change the software in a way that's UI and/or documentation facing.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    What's going to change in how we interact with computers and applications? Aside from removing/disabling/ignoring, if possible, the AI integrated into everything? I'm almost to the point where every google search is suffixed with "-ai" by muscle memory.

    Last Epoch

    I'm somewhat conflicted on this. I've spent enough over the years to get PoE2 EA for free. But I haven't given GGG anything since 2023 when it became apparent PoE2 development was hampering PoE1. All that to say: it's been a while since I felt that genuine "support the devs" feeling. I've...

    Did they fix the bug where CI + any amount of +stun threshold means you never build up stun on the rhoa?

    I still read log files manually. It's a lost art. Gotta keep a robust yet non-retarded editor just for that. Too many "modern" ones choke themselves to death trying to parse your log and send it to some linter.

    Yes, it's not PoE1 mapping. I meant that they are implementing PoE1 mapping fixes to PoE2 problems. It's gonna be really hard to not see that similarity when it happens.

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    Rewatched EoT recently with my kid, he liked it. He called the aliens "angry tree stumps". He wanted to see more "Tom Holland" movies, so we watched MI:Fallout.

    We've been over this in the main AI thread. There's long been technology that exists to verify the authenticity of something: cryptography. You definitely know of it wrt WW2 and the Enigma machine, Navajo code talkers, Code Purple, etc. You might be familiar with more recent technologies like...

    Exiting PoE2 makes my front chassis fans stop briefly. o_O Anyway, finally got through campaign. My chief complaint is that WASD makes my wrist hurt in ways that almost 10k hours of PoE1 never has. A controller would probably help, but this was the same reason I ultimately ended up dropping...

    At $50/month, that $300k ARR sounds like 1-2 multiseat contracts, perhaps even from the same venture capital. I'm not going to take advertising poorly disguised as self congratulations very seriously. Will AI lower the barrier to entry? Probably. It might also raise new barriers as customers...

    Maybe. I also abhor aiming. At best, I like to click in the pack's general direction. I often found I would contagion and be under threat before I could ED and get it to start spreading. Unrelated: they changed the quality on Mana Tempest so that it lingers(the good and the bad parts) for...

    My problem with ED/C, even with chain on ED, getting contagion and ED on the same monster while you and they are dancing around each other and hoping you didn't target some fatty that takes a while to die...just too unreliable. I didn't try quality on contagion. That's too rare of a currency...

    I decided to level(and league start....and farm initial currency) as Chaos Bolt Blood Mage. I've got way too much experience in PoE1 trying to force builds on the cheap and this Crossbow Lich looked like a textbook case. I originally tried ED/C, but...I don't know how anyone plays that build...

    It's weird going from struggling on Viper Napuatzi to blind one-shotting most encounters in Act 4. The asset reuse in Act 4 is quite obvious. I'm not necessarily against that as that's quite GGG's brand. I'm wondering if the same blowhard that designed and tuned the earlier acts just wasn't...

    There's some appeal to playing unintended mechanics since they are usually time-limited. For example, this is a good way to test the feel of a crossbow without the reload mechanic. Lich might be tankier.
