    Have you ever watched one of the McConaughey/Harrelson Agentforce commercials? It's pretty obvious Salesforce has no idea what AI is/can be capable of and is just trying to package and sell mediocre software as AI. You need AI to check the weather bro. Rudimentary software hasn't been able to...

    Been a long time since I've felt this bummed out. Been about 3.5 weeks since my eye procedure, couldn't see much of anything at all until a few days ago (expected part of the healing process). But vision is starting to clear up and last night I noticed a new, more pronounced, more centralized...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I don't care about MnM and arguing with dipshits who pretend they like "old school" mechanics when in reality they just want to lord their playtime over everyone else because they *think* they will be on the right side of the resource hogging is a fool's errand. I just happened to click the...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It exists, but at such a small scale because of aggressive anti-cheat policies it hardly effects the game economy at all. PD2 had ~15k concurrent users and 24k viewers on Twitch this past season launch. It maintained 10k concurrent online users for weeks into the season as well. Just as a...

    It actually says right in the article exactly why they want to do it. And its BANANAS They view unrealized gains as lost revenue. They are insane.

    It's just the gains but you could, in worst case scenarios, actually get taxed to past zero. You invest in a security, $100k. It skyrockets 300% one year. You think it's going to continue to go up, so you only sell what you have to in order to cover your unrealized gains tax. It craters the...

    Its completely absurd. Doesn't seem like there is any provision for liquidity issues either, so if you can't afford the tax bill on your unrealized gains you'll have to sell to cover it which then also triggers another tax event the following year?

    Where's my tax rebate for unrealized losses? EDIT: Oh they actually are doing that "Also, if an investor incurs a net loss in a given year, that loss can be carried forward and used to reduce taxable gains in any future year, with no time limit. Only losses exceeding €500 qualify for this...

    We use Snyk, it isn't preventing AI from doing much of anything. It's utilized when we create pull requests to check for security flaws in the code being pushed but that's it. Then the code gets pushed to our repositories which github copilot has full access to. It's a lot like using the...

    Well, how would sponsored/approved use of AI agents come back on you? Unless you mean your company isn't paying for any AI agents/tooling and you'd be using public/free resources. Most of us are working at companies that are very literally shoving AI down our throats and even taking steps to...

    The new class is so phoned in its pretty comical. Its like some kid said "wouldn't it be cool if all this OP stuff other classes can do was combined into a single skill for every skill on a new class?!" And the Blizzard devs said, YES!, but thats not enough, we need to make it 10x stronger. And...

    I don't have much experience with the other agents but Copilot for sure needs to be guided, its still very useful but sometimes it outputs some truly absurd nonsense. Last week I was troubleshooting an issue with invoking an external assembly that makes a database call from within xslt (don't...

    Pretty sure all the increased damage Light of Meaning's are dirt cheap and I think overall this should be fairly doable/cheap early. Using the Scion area to abuse %dmg increases from Light of Meaning while also getting other useful stats and 100% suppress from the passive tree. Combined with the...

    I want them to leave the tree exactly as it is. I don't see 5 and 6L's being rare drops as interesting or fun in any way, and who cares if you can get good resist/defense/life gear to help you clear your atlas early? It doesn't spit out end game gear. It doesn't replace other crafting options...

    Sigh. Instead of using metrics to see if a paid product/service is worthwhile and is actually making people more productive, they want to know who isn't a good little boy and making use of the thing the company so graciously paid for. Same as it ever was. Its just a non-stop cycle of...

    "new and shiny" often overrules "cost effective" when it comes to technology and how companies decide what technology to utilize. Lots of money gets thrown around and wasted regarding tech.

    I can understand all that for sure. There is a bigger behemoth lurking in the depths of tech for us though. 5 years from now how much damage will AI "vibe coding" have done to the majority of companies and what kind of mess would you be walking into elsewhere? This company at least seems to be...

    I'm gonna try doing a few test runs with that sort of setup from the start to see what it feels like. Thats probably a day 2-5 setup depending on play time. The less you play the cheaper that stuff will be in that time frame.

    Its already widely being used as a strike skill by Accuracy stackers, both in Phrecia 2.0 and Keepers (Thanks Jungroan). Its almost definitely going to get the combined hit portion nerfed.
