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

    Does anyone here use AI for reviewing code? clear conversation -> Review -> Fix or refute(and save to memory!) -> repeat I've never been able to get it to converge, it always finds new shit. And later into that cycle, a significant chunk of the findings are code changes it made.

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

    I've been working in my codebase for over a decade, so I know it pretty well. So the planning and implementation phases go pretty quick, I asked for the changes, I have a decent idea what the results are going to look like. It saves time in where exactly to put changes. Have you been using AI...

    Anyone know if Focused Channeling and Pact of Lycia will apply(and snapshot) to an existing stack of WOrb? For example, let's say you encounter a tough target and you're not sure your WOrb has the snapshot buffs. Can you safely assume pressing the Pact and channeling for 3s will apply the...

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

    I mean that's essentially what I'm doing. It's far quicker and easier for me to type up a paragraph or two, and since I know the codebase pretty well, I can give quite specific details that mitigate wandering off and doing stupid shit. I like this from a standpoint of far fewer instances of...

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

    My boss has continued ramping up usage of AI(Claude Code) on our team. He's rolling out a couple skills that have me a bit concerned about how many tokens I'm going be using daily and my coding skills atrophying. He developed implementing and reviewing agents that will talk and iterate with...

    If no light gets to the surface, why would the Eridians give a shit about the astrophage? How would they even know about it?

    Just getting to maps. Slayer Shield Crush has been a great league start, especially since Dawnbreaker is 1c, which I would not have counted on 1 day into the league. IDK if better than Ele Hit, which is likely still great despite the nerf. Just, different. League mechanic is ok. Charts seem...

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

    I have a subordinate like that. There's something missing in their ability to apply introspection to their processes. If you have a repo the size of Android, might be fun to see how he copes with that.

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

    How do you measure if you're too reliant on AI? My boss made an offhand remark recently that he uses Claude to do everything. I think most people interpreted it to mean within the context of coding, but I've seen him use it to write performance reviews. That aside, he's a pretty smart guy...

    More tokens. More choice of what models you can use those tokens on.

    Yes, the games being testing grounds for each other is quite lame. 1 is still better in a few very important and fundamental ways however.

    The Drama (2026)

    Is this uncomfortable in it makes you think about taboo topics? I really liked After Life for that. Or is this uncomfortable for second-hand embarrassment? If so, no thanks, repressed memories surfacing unasked do that enough.

    Wait, what? Did they start writing Season 2 after Season 1 finished airing? Was Vince needed for every part of the process?

    Path of Exile 2

    Ah, yeah, forgot about that. I *think* that carries over league to league as I started this one quite late and I was buying stuff prior to Act 4. Either way, glad you made a choice. I sometimes find myself playing PoE2 out of boredom and getting frequently frustrated.

    Path of Exile 2

    Yes, trade for upgrades, those single exalts will get you significant weapon upgrades at this point in the league. They'd rather nerf the campaign than figure out how to sensibly get players loot in a loot game. And to be fair, PoE1 absolutely has the same problem. It's just heavily mitigated...

    Arguably not a success. The Amazon seasons, 4-6, were worse than the Syfy seasons. But so was the source material.

    Not sure I can find what I want otherwise. My noggin cracks headbands and the ear buds are for blocking noise. Is there a wired version of that?

    Anyone use Bluetooth with windows? Specifically the AAC codec. The audio visual desync is bugging me on a product that is otherwise quite satisfactory(jlab work buds).

    No. The narrative isn't bad or poorly executed but it's definitely secondary. That said, I rarely play games for story since I think gameplay and narrative are already difficult to execute well by themselves, seamlessly integrating both is quite rare. So, I might be biased. Been playing for ten...

    The follow-up to this line of thought is how much of the 500k players are people toughing it out hoping/knowing it gets better?

    People with this attitude is the only way the past few pages of this thread make any sense when juxtaposed with the popularity of PoE2. The irony is that PoE2 is speedrunning system complexity. Far faster than PoE1 did.

    Yeah, I figured it was something with Mantra of Destruction once actually investigated your suggestion. You want to activate Manta as much as possible for the extra chaos damage, so probably automating it is the answer. Just put the delay equal to your attack delay? Though, does that mean you...

    I played Whirling Assault Titan last league and nothing so far has looked less gay than it. I'm actually surprised it didn't get nerfed, the screenwide coverage seems to violate their "powerful...but gay" requirement for builds. Shame I don't remember how the fuck I leveled until that point :|
