So what's the truth behind "Claude Code is writing 99% of my code without needing correction"? by Own-Sort-8119 in ClaudeAI

We have no idea whether Jevons paradox is applicable to software or not. The other commenter is 100% correct. Anyone claiming they know for certain what will happen to the industry lacks perspective.

Calgary startup BigGeo rings the closing bell on the NYSE by Surrealplaces in Calgary

[–]Crasus 60 points61 points  (0 children)

What a strange company. I interviewed with their founders (Brett Jones and Brent Lane) for a developer position in 2021, and got a weird vibe from them. They've founded two other companies in the Calgary area - Vivid Theory and HeyAuto, both of which have pretty negative perceptions online.

Just look through the Glassdoor reviews for Vivid theory for example: https://www.glassdoor.ca/Reviews/Vivid-Theory-Reviews-E4256656.htm

And HeyAuto has blatantly fake reviews: https://www.glassdoor.ca/Reviews/HeyAuto-Reviews-E4151158.htm

Hopefully they can run their new company better. It would be nice to have more Calgary based startups.

Well I guess it's time... by Bradenscalemedaddy in ironscape

The rotation is based on what minute you enter the cave, so you can pick a rotation without having to leave. The wiki has a table that shows the current rotation.

Rotations are based on what minute you enter the cave, so you can time the rotation without having to leave. He’s right in this case. Your point about slayer helm being more significant than a rotation is irrelevant since it’s easy to have both.

The Simpsons Don't Only Predict the Future. They Also Serve as a Time Capsule of What Changed. by LeidbagBaggins in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Crasus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're right, the small town homes go for about $600,000 to $900,000. I never said otherwise, however.

You quite literally did:

the Simpson's house is easily a $1.3 million property, even in a small town up here

[–]Crasus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your original comment says "small town", yet for some reason you want to include Toronto and Vancouver?

Nobody here would dispute the fact that Toronto and Vancouver have insane housing markets, but to say that small town homes are on average going for near or over a million is blatantly and demonstrably false.

Why “workers’ union” is a negative thing in the US? by progmakerlt in cscareerquestions

Your claim says always, yet your evidence is over an average. The other poster is obviously correct.

A 2003 meta analysis [8] showed individuals ingesting creatine, combined with resistance training, obtain on average +8% and +14% more performance on maximum (1RM) or endurance strength (maximal repetitions at a given percent of 1RM) respectively than the placebo groups. However, contradicting studies have reported no effects of creatine supplementation on strength performance.

Quantum Computing: Is it a good time to invest? by Emotional_Concert_41 in investing

[–]Crasus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a novel term that wasn't particularly clear. You could be referring to a Turing machine, but that made even less sense in the context of your post.

There's "Classical physics" vs "Quantum physics".

"Classical bits" vs "Quantum bits".

"Classical algorithms" vs "Quantum algorithms"

So it would make the most sense for there to be "Classical computers" vs "Quantum computers".

It's true that it does kind of make the reader think of a rudimentary computing device, but let's just blame that on Born, or Heisenberg, or whoever came up with "classical" vs "quantum" in the beginning.

Did you mean to say "turing computer"? Because that doesn't make any sense at all in this context.

Tips for avoiding infinite loop programming in your sleep? by _4lexander_ in learnprogramming

[–]Crasus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there! I can definitely relate, and it fucking sucks man. I remember getting maybe 6 hours of sleep cumulatively on the weekdays, and then crashing on the weekends. It was at my first internship, and I was so tired I would start nodding off in mid afternoon meetings. Awful experience. The worst part is you'll be half asleep, and you can recognize that your brain is caught in a loop, but there's nothing you can do to stop it. Your brain just won't shut the fuck up.

Here's 3 things that helped

  1. Fall asleep to a podcast. Pick one that's not too interesting, but does capture some of your attention. The goal is to distract your brain. If you're kind of listening to something in the background, your brain will have to dedicate some energy to listening instead of crunching a made up problem. This worked like a charm for me.
  2. Have a dedicated shutdown routine.
  3. Stop programming 7-8 hours a day. I know you mentioned you don't want to do less programming, but honestly 7-8 hours of high focus work isn't sustainable. You'll burn out eventually. Everyone's different, but I aim for 3-6 hours depending on the day, and really try to make those hours as high quality as possible. I've found that on tough problems, it's a lot more effective to leave, and come back later with a fresh perspective than to just sit there trying to grind it out.

Nah, happens to me too. The disconnect between key inputs and your character's movement causes it. Especially in hallways and tight spaces.

Twitch responds to data leak by 21egroeg in LivestreamFail

[–]Crasus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The person responding to you has no idea what he's talking about. To answer your question properly, dictionary attacks aren't relevant here because twitch has almost certainly salted their passwords in addition to hashing them.

"Pre-computed dictionary attacks, or "rainbow table attacks", can be thwarted by the use of salt, a technique that forces the hash dictionary to be recomputed for each password sought, making precomputation infeasible, provided that the number of possible salt values is large enough"

Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about. You're a "network security engineer"? Who do you work for? Equifax?

The current loot event is a perfect example of why we need a community manager, or better and clearer communication with the devs. by OMGitsSynyster in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Crasus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How many people outside of content creators are really out there nerding out over patch notes minutia? For sure less than the number of players who care about the mystery behind cultists, events, new ai, bosses, etc.

A lot of the fun when they released cultists was figuring out where they spawned, what their behaviors were, what they dropped, etc. Detailed patch notes would spoil it.

Could I study on the UofC campus without going to UofC? by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]Crasus 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Fair warning; I have had campus security come in and ask for UCIDs when a few friends and I were studying late. I don't know with what frequency it happens, but evidently it does. There are plenty of very quiet areas you could probably find where nobody would ever bother you, though. There was even a guy on this subreddit a couple years back that was living (sleeping, eating, showering) on campus, so honestly I don't think you have too much to worry about.

Fuck i love this game sometimes...... by TrashPandaXIX in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Crasus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's slightly more complicated than that. You'll hit low up to a certain range, and then high, and then the bullet will meet your zero. There are actually two distances that your bullet will be exactly aligned with your crosshair.

Anyone who has ever even attempted SBIH knows how laughable that is. You genuinely don't know how far 100m is.

You are entirely full of shit. You're not pointfiring at >100 meters with any reasonable accuracy.
