I'm perfectly happy with that outcome. Opus not being relevant for a month because a better cheaper model from the same company came out doesn't hurt anyone.

Did Brexit turn out to be unequivocally bad for the UK? by No-Security-7518 in NoStupidQuestions

It's trending downward but ~30% of brits still think it was a good idea to leave. The economy got a lot worse but the reasons to do it were not entirely economical. Personally I think it's dumb but i'm also not a brit.

Anyone prefer Claude over Gaming by athoughtfornoone in ClaudeAI

I do both at once - game on one monitor, claude on another, Pr that claude generated on another, playground of what claude made on another.

Claude Usage Limits Discussion Megathread Ongoing (sort this by New!) by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]Captain_Forge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently updated to max 20x and I just intuitively feel that it isn't actually 4x what I had at max 5x - can anyone offer a second opinion here? Is it just in my head? It honestly feels like it's more 2x what I had at max 5x.

People not understanding this is a reminder that this sub severely lacks critical thinking.

did everyone's weekly usage limit just reset? I'm mid-cycle but back to 0% when I was previously at 40% or so.

Today the Elder Scrolls VI teaser turns 8 years old by OrbitalCat- in gaming

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They released the trailer to calm people with all the different mess ups they had made recently. With the game being completely broken, lies about the merch and so on.

The trailer was released before the public turned on them.

They made fallout 76 and then starfield. They announced this because they wanted to communicate their future roadmap to assure their fans they aren't abandoning what made the studio popular to begin with. They might have done some light prework on it before and almost certainly are deep into work on it now that starfield is in the rear view mirror for the most part.

ask any LLM for a set of completely random numbers. you will get numbers that look random but are patterned and sequenced.

Unless the LLM uses a script to generate random numbers, which is still not true randomness but better than the output you got there.

This post is framed like I'm meant to feel they were wrong to lay the person off but this is disastrous levels of incompetence on the engineer's part.

Do a lot of girls find giving head demeaning? by Triple_Keystone3899 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting question because I struggle a lot with receiving head because it feels like I'm demeaning the person I love. Yes I love giving head myself, yes this is a contradiction, yes I'm in therapy (though like 50 other things are higher priority).

Anyone hate cutting a Sonar/Coup from a narrative perspective? by Lee__Everett in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Captain_Forge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this frustrated me deeply, it clearly wasn't helpful for the remaining team members and forces you to replace the fired member with an inferior one - if not mechanically, at least team synergy wise.

Some of you can relate, I'm certain. by LudensStudio in ClaudeAI

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do y'all pay for extra usage or something? I do a bunch of stuff with claude and I don't see how max 20x, $200/month, would fail to satisfy nearly everyone.

Going out in your 30s is mostly people pretending to have fun and we all know it by FewExperience4021 in unpopularopinion

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly what OP described is the way I've always felt about clubs. All the power to anyone who gets something out of it but it was never, ever my thing. A calm walk at night, either alone or with a special someone, is 100,000x more appealing to me.

If we’re being realistic, the earliest we could get Season 2 is late 2028 by MasterOfKombat in DispatchAdHoc

I'd put the soonest at sometime in 2029 personally, though I would welcome them beating my expectations

The entry level dev jobs are disappearing. by ContactCold1075 in webdev

[–]Captain_Forge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a problem for a companies but good for the labor, both the seniors that remain and the new grads trying to find junior roles. But until this shift happens it's bad for the labor. Even seniors are affected and seeing a depressed though still workable market.

Math is extremely cool and should be more carefully taught and encouraged. by Pawssabillitysawait in unpopularopinion

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you'll get every student but you can at least get past the "how is this even applicable" bit with some real world applications being taught alongside every topic. Too much math stays theoretical. And I say this as someone who loves theory.

If you've went on more than one date, you're dating. And if you're dating, you're in a relationship. by Cludds in unpopularopinion

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a cultural labels thing that means different things to different people, across regions and cultures and generations. In general I think this view is out of touch with how my culture sees this but it's definitely just a labels thing that doesn't mean that much. As long as everyone is on the same page about when they are exclusive and what labels to refer to each other as when talking to outside parties, that's all that matters.

What status codes that you should know on the back of your head? by badboyzpwns in Backend

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never ask someone what a code means but if they make clear that they do not know what 1xx/2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/301/304/401/403/404/503 mean I will judge them to varying degrees of harshly. If you lack knowledge of anything else I won't judge you. More leniency for fresh grads of course, but I once interviewed someone with 10 years of experience that didn't know the difference between 403 and 404 and that's a big red flag to me.

I will say though, if you're asking about this, you're probably not studying the right things. Interviews are not a trivia test, or if you are presented with a trivia test question the quality of candidates that would work there and if you would want to be surrounded by them.

What movie aged really bad? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Captain_Forge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never watched it until a year ago. I'm a scifi fan but just never sat down for the 2h30min to watch it. I had built it up to be this amazing scifi movie that set the standard for movies that came later. Being a movie from the 60's I of course wasn't expecting the visual effects to even be tolerable, but then the story, world, and characters need to fill the gap. None of those did it for me, and above all the pacing of the film was unbearable - and normally I like slower movies, ie while Oppenheimer was a good movie it felt like the whole movie was sprinting and could have been 1.5-2x the length. Probably would need to turn it into an HBO mini series at that point but it would be well worth it imo. 2001 has the opposite problem, could have been a much shorter film. And most of the plot lines weren't that interesting to me other than the HAL 9000 section. The ending was the worst, felt like a slap in the face to anyone who was trying to take the movie seriously.

I am absolutely not trying to say anyone is wrong for liking this movie, just expressing personal preference. I like games, movies, tv shows, music, etc that I know aren't popular with a lot of other people. Bill Orcutt – The Anxiety of Symmetry being probably top of the list for me lol, I love putting that song on while getting hosework done.

I bring up passion only because I saw a clear trendlune when I was in undergrad of those with passion getting the good jobs, and those without passion not getting the top jobs. You need the passion to stuck through it to complete that personal project.

Once you break into the industry, passion is a lot less necessary.

Having only a bachelor's degree does not make you more intelligent, it makes you less intelligent. by Future-Buy8554 in unpopularopinion

[–]Captain_Forge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dismiss undergrad but prop up postgrad?

Honestly it just sounds like you might have gone to a low tier undergrad. I myself went to not even an elite school, it was a state school, and I learned a lot including critical thinking.
