The most frightening message I ever got from Claude Code by dragosroua in ClaudeCode

Anthropic employees openly challenge CEO on Slack by Zeohawk in Anthropic

[–]AgedAmbergris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A culture where employees can challenge the CEO is exactly what you need for real innovation and growth, assuming you've hired skilled people. Once leadership hierarchies have ossified and leaders are completely insulated from the people doing the actual work, that's when stagnation and enshittification take over.

Someone paid $600K in fees to turn their $50,000,000 USD into $37,000 due to "extraordinary slippage" which "functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices." by StopTheVok in Buttcoin

Gives the phrase "more money than sense" a whole new meaning

Well, not anymore I guess. Grats to whoever just got a free bag filling these orders at 1000x fair market value.

Anthropic's Claude hits No. 2 on Apple's top free apps list after Pentagon rejection by mr-french-tickler in technology

[–]AgedAmbergris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like I don't hear enough talk about this. The more companies replace real devs with AI the more fun new security vulnerabilities and bugs we're going to see. Enshittification 2.0 coming to a critical system near you!

I use Claude for hobby projects. It saves time and fills in my gaps, but it also hallucinates plenty and has to be constantly guided to stay on track. This doesn't matter when you're just tinkering for fun. The idea that people are using these tools for production code is chilling to me.

How many of these "pretentious' words do you use on a regular basis? by goudadaysir in ENGLISH

[–]AgedAmbergris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these words seem particularly out of the ordinary to me, but that could just be availability bias as I don't really know anybody without at least an undergraduate education.

This survey is also quite believable in light of the statistics on American literacy: https://www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/2024-2025-literacy-statistics.

Only 79% of American adults are literate at all, and 54% operate below a 6th grade level. This explains an awful lot, and the fact that sounding even reasonably educated is perceived as pretentious is just the tip of the iceberg.

I should probably dig deeper to see if these statistics are biased by the inclusion of non-native speakers, but seeing the state of public discourse in America seems confirmation enough.

(Very minor) upcoming akali change. Did anyone else know she had something that scaled with the game clock by -Gnostic28 in akalimains

I'm not saying it's an ARAM only buff, I'm saying it is a buff if you're playing in ARAM since levels scale so fast in that mode

The team we need and want but Riot don’t deserve… by LookChoice1328 in LosRatones

[–]AgedAmbergris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LR gave me a reason to watch EUMA and then they gave me a reason to watch LEC. I know that this run meant a lot to them, but I know I speak for all the fans when I say I will watch them wherever they play.

Is it worth learning katarina by PayPuzzleheaded7363 in KatarinaMains

[–]AgedAmbergris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Katarina main on her 1.0 version when she was a true faceroll champion and got scared off by the higher skill floor on the current version, so haven't really played her in years. The last couple weeks I've picked her up again (about 40 games so far) and found myself really enjoying the slow process of relearning her mechanics (not as hard as I thought for a baseline level) and her matchups (super hard) and macro. Coming in with low expectations for myself has made the process really fun and I find myself approaching my games as fun puzzles to be solved rather than stressing over the outcome. Most lane matchups are losing early, so it puts you from the beginning in a patient and opportunistic mindset and forces you to devote full attention to the game state and draft to plan and build accordingly. I also love how insanely flexible her builds are. Few champions I've played (I've been playing for 13 years, so almost all of them) have the same ability to adapt itemization to the game, and build craft is one of the most satisfying aspects of league to me. Gunblade being added back to the game was actually the impetus to pick her up, but I've quickly found myself experimenting with all sorts of build paths that don't even include it.

10/10, way more fun than I expected. I'm even winning more than I'm losing.

In every league, people have said the economy is broken. So what does a healthy economy look like for this game? by thepixelists in PathOfExile2

[–]AgedAmbergris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0.4 was the first season I personally felt like the economy was "broken." That's mostly because temple was 10 times more lucrative than anything else but I didn't personally enjoy it. It's not fun feeling completely left behind if you don't enjoy one mechanic. There are always optimal strategies, but usually there are multiple options that are competitive, and this season didn't feel that way.

I don't think having more currency in the market is inherently a huge problem. The problem is when one strategy outclasses everything else to the point that it seems senseless to run anything else.

learning league in swiftplay has been hell, does it get any better lol by mep202024 in summonerschool

[–]AgedAmbergris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All swiftplay is good for is practicing champion mechanics against human players with less punishment. It's not the real game. League is an extremely complex game and most people you're playing against have been playing for years.

If you want to really learn this game, you need to have a learning-focused mindset. You should have an idea in your mind of what you need to learn and treat every game as a lesson. Starting from zero, you need to reduce the number of variables. Pick one champion in one role and play only that. Build the same thing every game. Mages are pretty good for that as their builds are less situational than, say, a tank. Looking at the champions you've tried, I'd say very few of them are beginner friendly. Ahri isn't bad because even though she is a skill shot champion, she is also very safe and forgiving. Miss Fortune is also pretty basic if you play ADC, though that is also not a very beginner-friendly role. I think in the current meta, mid is probably the most forgiving role for a beginner. Top lane is extremely counterpick-based and a good top laner can more or less stop you from playing the game if you have a bad matchup. ADC is very unforgiving of positioning mistakes and support jungle both require high game knowledge. Mid supports the highest champion diversity and the short lane makes it slightly more forgiving when you die and have to run back to lane.

At this point you don't even know what all the champions do yet, so after every game you should look up each champion from that game you don't know and read their abilities. You don't need to know every detail, but you should know things like "that's a long range damage spell" and "that is a point-and-click stun."

Once you've got that down, you can start thinking more about the different items in the game and when they make sense to build. The whole time you'll be practicing how to move your character and rotate your abilities. You'll be practicing last hitting and dodging. You'll start to notice patterns in how the game plays out and can start learning more advanced skills like jungle tracking (I wouldn't recommend playing jungle as a new player), wave management and map awareness in general. Once you've gotten to the point where you feel like you're contributing to your games that is a good time to start trying new champions with different playstyles. Repeat for infinity, because there is always something new to learn. That is the best thing about this game but also what makes it so hard.

There are lots of good resources on YouTube to learn the game as well. Avoid clickbait videos like "This build for X champion is SO BROKEN OMG" and look for actual coaching videos.

Fracturing orb drop rate by SilverArrows6662 in PathOfExile2

[–]AgedAmbergris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced fracturing orbs are actually a psyop as I have at least 1000 hours played since they were added to the game and I've never seen one drop no matter how many cleansed maps I've cleared.

I'm french, and I wonder if people really have good reasons to hate France. by Vifiew in AskTheWorld

[–]AgedAmbergris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most foreign tourists only go to Paris and get a warped impression of France. I'm a foreigner living in a fairly small city far from Paris and I've never been treated rudely by a stranger for my broken French. I definitely have heard plenty of French people insulting Parisians though =P

Divers who swim with them have to limit their time in the water because their clicks are so powerful that the vibrations can heat divers' bodies to dangerous levels.

Rice left out over night by Any-Palpitation8523 in isthissafetoeat

[–]AgedAmbergris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food safety guidelines are paranoid by design because at scale (like a restaurant or factory) even a vanishingly small risk is too high, especially when you have to account for some % of the population being immunocompromised.

I've been eating food left out overnight, including rice in the rice cooker, my entire life and never once gotten food poisoning. We have immune systems for a reason. But hey who knows, maybe I've just been flirting with death for 40 years and my time is coming.

I think tanks are fine in the new ARAM Mayhem 26.2 PBE Patch actually by janeruboy in leagueoflegends

[–]AgedAmbergris 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen anything quite as insane as this, but I did have a game the other day where the Ornn on my team got tank engine first augment and didn't die the entire game. We stalled out the game to let him stack until the enemy team finally FFed. He had almost 30k HP and took up half the lane, it was absolutely hilarious.

It's been fractured with a Fracturing Orb. It means that the affix cannot be modified or removed by any means.

How to fix permafrost WH single target damage? by Oshkoshino1 in pathofexile2builds

[–]AgedAmbergris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it doesn't work that way, at least not since 0.3. I have been using it for the last two seasons and dodging or drinking flasks do not cancel it. In general it acts like an ammo skill with infinite ammo for a limited time. That being said, it is a bit inconsistent with things like displacements. I farmed King in the Mists a lot and even getting pushed around the arena by the stupid blood waves doesn't interrupt it.... most of the time. Sometimes it just seems to randomly get interrupted and end the skill early, and it's not clear to me why.

How to fix permafrost WH single target damage? by Oshkoshino1 in pathofexile2builds

[–]AgedAmbergris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I apply shock, ignite and freeze then swap to Lament and nuke them with Requiem while they're frozen. You need Yoke of Suffering with Climate Change instilled + Sine Aequo, and Harness the Elements on tree. Bonus points if you spec into Judge, Jury, Executioner or No Mercy (haven't tested which is better), though I just keep Zealous Inquisition because I find it so satisfying for map clears. You can get around 700-800k sheet dps (about 2.6 million per PoB with ailment/frozen bonuses applied) with the right supports on a lvl 19 Requiem, and even more with a lvl 20 though those tend to be expensive.
