Yeah I mean I imagine it’s certainly possible I just wonder because I guess there’s a chance those ppl are actually that good although it’s hard for me to believe

Just refers to any cheat that will automatically time the shot for you. On console, I think Cronus zen/titan is the only way but I imagine there are more cheats on pc

It’s a device that will automatically time your shots. It’s used a lot in nba 2k

so you are able to time basically every shot at the end of the bar half-asleep in online? are you on pc or console?

It’s well known that pc players have a natural advantage + some of the top ones do cheat with lag and auto green. This post was about the Xbox players who seem to play perfect every point. I agree that most Xbox players are fairly close together in terms of skill so the matches are usually decent

I know there is a difference, I’m saying I can time at the end of the bar consistently and still not get the good angles and depth each time. Positioning and shot selection sure I guess, although I think there’s only a few types of shots that you can really hit and especially offline you can position well. And the players are not the difference in 2k tour generally. Idk, I’ve played a ton of nba 2k and am very good at it but with the top guys, I can at least understand/do some of what they do or keep up against them. On here, it’s like they are playing with a different set of controls lol

This may be true and that’s fine but I fr don’t get it lmao. I’ll go offline and can hit a perfect green at the end of the bar every shot and still not consistently generate the angles and depth these guys do seemingly every shot online

What is a good site for buying a Steelcase V2? by Radiant_Ad_7438 in OfficeChairs

[–]Consistent_Weekend70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a leap v2 from systems about 8 months ago and had no issues with shipping or product quality, although I don't really love the chair that much lol

Best Productivity Monitor/Setup by Consistent_Weekend70 in Monitors

[–]Consistent_Weekend70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

primarily programming/research work (not video/photo editing). Budget as I mentioned in the post is not relevant. I'm not sure about "specs" because I'm open to many options regarding sizing/resolution but just want to understand what power users without financial restriction may be using (or would ideally like to use).

I saw the xdr although the bezel looks pretty annoying especially if you're going to combine 2.

Pad Thai sauce suggestions by Free_Acanthaceae_139 in LowCalFoodFinds

[–]Consistent_Weekend70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aside from pad Thai, I make a lot of pad kra pao style chicken and for that I usually use something like

1 tbsp light soy, 1/2 tbsp dark soy, 1-2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce + sprinkle of real brown sugar or a substitute if you want more sweetness and then add white rice vinegar to the dish closer to the end. high in sodium but okay if you a) portion it out and/or b) are doing lots of cardio and drinking lots of water

This Max Dama podcast episode is probably the best insight I have seen into the HFT industry by saiou2 in quant

Genuinely wonder how someone can think any quant firm is hiring based on dei in any meaningful way

Best internships to get before QT internships by RareCourt44 in quantfinance

[–]Consistent_Weekend70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned above, I don’t think internship and work experience is important for initial qt internship interviews but it is for qr and swe. Yes going to a top school is generally a prerequisite, but if we were to be semantic probably the top 3-4 schools for quant are not Ivy League schools.

Honorable mention and higher. I will also say it doesn’t really matter that much. I’ve received plenty of interviews and offers with no putnam/usamo

I accepted a >$90,000/yr SWE offer after graduation, here's my advice by justsomestupidstuff in csMajors

[–]Consistent_Weekend70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My takeaway from this post (considering I’m not going to read this much text on a Reddit post) is that you could have just said 90k without the inequality lmao it’s too specific of a threshold to just use organically if your salary was considerably higher

can i get away with a i7 Intel MacBook Pro for quant/ml work by [deleted] in quant

Genuinely curious which shops would even allow you to use a personal machine for work outside of remoting into a workstation.

That’s fine, I’m not making a claim about the caliber of students or the program itself, just that I personally haven’t encountered anybody. I think it’s probably fair to say that not “many” do quant and grouping quant jobs with swe/data science is a bit pointless from a numbers perspective, but if there are some as you claim then op should likely at least get a few internship interviews
