    Most programmers don't understand AI enough to make this judgment(I include myself in that group). How can we expect lawyers to do so?

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Hatorade is correct, that is still quite cheap relative to other hobbies. There was a small tangent in the desktop thread, at what price does hardware and electricity make gaming comparable? I'm not sure we came to a conclusion other than "we're not there...yet" and "sucks that we're starting...

    How do you guys prevent exfiltration of proprietary code and sensitive information by AI? Assume, if you aren't already, that I'm extremely uninformed on this topic. I have a long list of negatives wrt AI, but one fuckup and oops, source code is now part of some LLM's training model makes me...

    Phys light of meaning is not cheap as it's one of the few ways to scale non-bleed phys dots.

    Band of Brothers

    My kid and I recently watched Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, and 1917. It was a real chore to get through BoB and he fell asleep during some of the less action oriented episodes. SPR was better but I still had to poke him a few times. The death camp scenes nor the gore seemed to phase...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    While I'm sure there are some people, especially from our age group, that it feels "wrong" to pay for digital media, I think in this case it's also: Still pushing shorts despite you knowing I don't click on them. And you won't let me block them. Still don't have anything approaching a robust...

    When I looked, prismatic oil was 330c in Phrecia. I usually exclude those prices from my league start pob. Either way, I'd much rather they add more sources of target range. Weapon strike range might compensate, but that's not a common stat either.

    My run through Phrecia 2 made me really miss Siones and you'll probably feel it even more without giant EH aoe. Still, some interesting ideas. Not being able to utilize bleed always irked me. My guess is that some streamer will make a build video and it will get Katabasised.

    Now, to ponder whether Xevy is making a good faith argument that despite the evidence on this very page that I'm still enthusiastic about build theorycrafting, the game itself has changed deleteriously due to things like T17 affixes and PoE2. :emoji_thinking:

    I agree. After they nerfed corpse skills and left corrupting fever/cry to rot, I was having trouble finding a dirt cheap league starter. Which means this will be nerfed next league. I come back to these builds months later, when the reasons for decisions have long left my brain. In this...

    This is where I wound up. I'm not a fan of the phys max hit, I think this event needed more than just 65/65 block. https://pobb.in/lo3OfEpK9wX6 Were you really cycling through 3 warcries? I'm not sure I see the point of Intimidating Cry. Why didn't you put Hits Can't Be Evaded on both weapons?

    I tried abstracting so I could compare different weapons. Paradoxica, for example, is 2(double damage) * 1.56(attack speed) * 1.15(pen) * 6.5/5 = ~4.8. RWoE would be 1.375(MH attack speed averaged) * 1.35(base attack speed) * 13.2/5(OH crit averaged) * 1.1(DW attack speed) = ~5.4. A claw with...

    Where/when do you guys decide it's time to cut and run on a feature? As in, it's not done right, but it works and you definitely don't have time to do it right. I hacked together some ugly after_script so that our pipelines would be less gay. This was unprompted, no planning, and well...

    I mostly fixed my macro. The lone problem ended up being that send the keystroke meant whatever other keys you had depressed, like shift for dumping, is now considered released and repressed, ruining what it was held down for. Since this doesn't queue, same problem?

    I just resort grepping the entire sandbox. Good ol grep and find. I'm not sure what it would take to get over my personal hurdles. I know at the very least my employer would have to pay for it. No way these are remaining cheap long term. Nor would I trust myself currently to know how to set it...

    Considering the corruption and incestuousness of the AI industry, a pessimistic take might be that your employer is being financially incentivized to do this in order to artificially inflate AI demand and usage.

    What do you in the case of external dependencies that are resolved at runtime? I can't get my IDE to resolve those, so forever they remain red squiggles. In my original example, many of the code paths that I ended up touching were referencing external dependencies. How do you identify the...

    Part of my job requires working with the entirety of the Android repo. Google has been moving more of their code to Kotlin, which if understand correctly is Java with aids.
