    His company actually sounds like a treat. They are willing to de-pajeet and listen to experience.

    Lab in poe1 sucks. Its terrible. Most people hate it. They somehow made ascendancy even worse and less enjoyable in poe2. Its kind of impressive.

    Path of Exile 2

    Most of the "original" ideas they have brought to PoE2 have been misguided, poorly implemented and poorly received. At least they are willing to adjust (though they are being particularly stubborn about the atlas)

    ToTA was always planned as the third ascendancy trial type in PoE2.

    This is the majority of home inspectors. They are usually retired contractors who were probably shifty/shady when they did that shit as well.

    Find a way to make it "work". Never attempt to do it correctly or better at any point in time. Congratulate yourself on how you "did a thing". This is like... 80% of the developers I have ever worked with. The other 20% are exactly like TJT. And the difference in attitude means the two sides...

    I've been doing a lot of veggie side dishes that are good as cold leftovers lately. One of my favorites is spinach with garlic, feta and pine nuts (and occasionally I soak some golden raisins in water for about an hour and add those). I just quickly blanch the spinach then use a potato ricer to...

    If you slow cook Oxtail correctly yes, it is one of the tastiest parts of the cow. Fork tender and lots of natural flavor. It's way tastier than any Prime Rib or Tenderloin.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I used to be able to get Ox tail for $2.99/lb in ~2020 and it was very easy to find. It's now $13.99/lb if I can even find it, and usually its the smallest pieces that are essentially all bone and almost no meat. Which sucks because it's one of the tastiest parts of a cow.

    This is technically how we are "supposed" to do it but thats not what im talking about. I'm saying that Claude cowork will do exactly that with less token usage and less "meandering" than Claude Code will.

    To add to that, as a separate post just to talk specifically about how Claude Code operates. It does things you never asked it to do. It needs access to a repo to work so it can pretend it needs to also write test harnesses and cases to check its own work and then refactor 2, 3, 10 fucking times...

    That is the grift. Claude Code (and all the different models on the Anthropic platform) are the most egregious out of all of them from what I've experienced first hand. And they can get away with that, because as of right now, Anthropic has the best models. AI is packaged and sold as automation...

    Why use Claude code for that? And are you using Opus, Sonnet or Haiku? You'll use, very literally, like 1/100th the tokens for that kind of task using Claude Chat with Haiku

    What are you using that this is the case? It's the opposite with ChatGPT and Claude. Claude Code GUZZLES tokens but Claude Cowork, and especially Claude Chat use very little in comparison. In fact, for most coding scenarios I reverted entirely away from Claude Code because I don't actually need...

    Most companies are/were forcing their entire org to use AI for EVERYTHING. So how's it gonna go when they finally wake up to what that actually costs and try to put a governor on it? "Why are you guys using so many tokens?!" "Because you literally threatened my job if I didn't"

    Jokes on you bud, she's just using tokens to automate all of that. Checkmate. This is actually happening faster than I expected. You know, the whole AI drug dealer dilemma.

    The trials would be a lot more palatable if it was just some side quests you play your character normally through. I'm not sure why they thought turning the side games from PoE1 into mandatory trials was a good idea.

    Vanguard doesn't have actual IPO allocation programs, I'd only be able to buy shares on the open market after it begins trading. That's 100% certain. However, the people at Vanguard made it sound like the ticker won't even be available to trade until a day+ after that, which is what I'm pretty...

    Any of you traders have experience with IPOs?
