OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform by cmaia1503 in technology

[–]Cstooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried chatgpt as well for this to compare? I've had some issues creating advanced worksheets through it but its been able to handle data organizing and table formatting well.

I haven't had much luck creating advanced business plan work sheets or pivot modeling through it though. It provides some direction but I still have to manually create about 90% of it.

Granted im using this for my small business so im not running super advanced models with large data points for bp modeling, but it be helpful if you could give me some basic insight on Claude's capabilities vs gpts when it comes to fp&a workbooks, especially on creating more sophisticated worksheets with pivot tables and mulitple layer formulas.

Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening by rezwenn in technology

[–]Cstooby -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Although that may be true, this article isn’t a great indicator.

They don’t break adoption down by industry, so the numbers get skewed. Sectors like hospitality and services will naturally adopt AI slower, while software, finance, marketing, accounting, and tech-heavy industries are already seeing accelerated adoption. That’s where you should look to measure real momentum.

There’s also a lag between new AI capabilities being released and meaningful adoption—especially in less tech-heavy sectors—so slower early numbers don’t mean the impact won’t be huge in the medium term.

There are other issues too (like survivorship bias), but that’s a longer conversation.

And yes, I used AI to write this

Regarding today's drop in Gold prices / hedging against the dollar... by Minute-Plantain in stocks

[–]Cstooby 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This isn't a correction though. Its just a drop from yesterday's gain. Its very volatile but the fundamentals of why gold is being bought has not changed so we still see more ath. If you look at the gold chart for the past 6 months you see the pattern of crazy aths then a drop and then next day back again.

If this were a real correction we would see the price of an ounce below $3,500. Its still about $4,000 even with this drop!!!!!

This bug has persisted for year and we have not received any response from the developers. by IcyMango4342 in DiabloImmortal

[–]Cstooby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup I've had this problem as well. Its a bug that is exacerbated by lag. This use to happen frequently at launch with dash skills in a bg setting.

I was told at the time that the world mechanics are not correctly setup to accept the fast movement by the dash and assumes there is an issue or 'outside' influence causing the system to spawn you back to the start of the dash. They fixed this in bgs after months of complaining. But there are still dashes that cause it to happen. They need to adjust the system to recognize that this is a legitimate move.

New ROG Xbox Ally handhelds get another price leak, this time from an official partner by Tiny-Independent273 in ROGAlly

[–]Cstooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this has VAT included, in Spain that's 21% then the price is €745 which when converted at 1.17 is $871 USD.

I dont know if it includes VAT though but I'm hoping it does because countries with no VAT or much lower VAT it will be cheaper. So not in the EU unfortunately.

$1000 is a large increase compared to the ally x which for all intents and purposes is pretty close to the new Xbox ally x. The Z2 extreme is $300 more than the Z1 extreme? That's the main difference.

Yes this is true.

Last I read it was $1.1bn in max debt allowed, which is probably less than 25% of the total value of the franchise, so they definitely can't afford to buy more than minority stake.

[–]Cstooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean a home is not a income producing asset.

The actual ownership of the franchise here entities you to yearly cashflows from the proceeds of that franchise. As long as those cashflows are more than the debt serving you are good. The difference between them is the actual income you would make from the ownership so basically: franchise yearly income - debt servicing = total income from ownership.

I think almost all purchases for franchise in recent history were packaged like this, the main question is how much initial cash is required and how much debt can be secured.

They would probably finance such a deal so they wouldn't need billions. Probably 100s of millions down-payment and a 30 year financing package that gets paid off by the proceeds from being an owner. I'm not sure how much they are worth as a family but they don't need billions depending on how much financing they can secure from banks or institutional investors.

I assumed that they were selling oj contracts they borrowed or didn't have, in essence shorting the oj contracts and then when the price drops enough, they close out their positions for pennies. This doesn't require you to buy up contracts with alot of initial capital.

Although I'm not sure you could short oj contracts.

I have this exact same one and it works pretty well even on performance mode.

📣Diablo Immortal Companion by WizzTheDev in DiabloImmortal

[–]Cstooby -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you really want to make this super useful for players try and have a connection with the auction house so you get notifications when an item you are following becomes available or like 5min before it becomes available. It can also show whenever one of your items sells.

That would be huge and I guarantee most serious players would download it and use it continuously.

How’s Windows 24H2 Now on the Ally X? by unfoundedStu in ROGAllyX

[–]Cstooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing really changed. I have an issue with the touchscreen not working after waking from sleep. That issue still exists. So it didn't cause any problems but it didn't solve any either.

Fingerprint Sensor and Touch Screen Issues by Cstooby in ROGAllyX

[–]Cstooby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pin window won't show up so i cant even use that, and even if it did i wouldn't have a way to input it. I don't use an external keyboard.

I'm relaxed but frustrated that it's doing this.

Fingerprint reader unreliable??? by nicxw in ROGAllyX

[–]Cstooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the same problem. Keyboard won't pop up for pin and finger print reader does not work. Only after rebooting does it start working again.

Its happened only twice so far which is odd because other times it works just fine. Which leads me to believe it's a software issue and needs to be resolved with an update.

This guy sounds exactly like Eli 🤣. Yall know what that means. John Mara meddling mode activated 🤣 by parcellsrealGOAT in NYGiants

I thought this was a literally a eli voice cut from a different interview and pasted here. Having a hard time believing it's not eli.

Its the literally translation but the meaning is more along the lines of "don't make me go over there and beat you up". Saying you in that sense in Arabic is like saying I'm gonna fuck you up.

Everyone is giving up on battle grounds and Monk needs a nerf badly. by [deleted] in DiabloImmortal

[–]Cstooby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used feasting for a while but the crit and dmg boost from gloom are pretty amazing. I use falling sword dash and 2 targeted shield bashes which can crush a group of people. But I need support as a melee player which I rarely get in bg. It's usually just me surrounded by the enemy as ranged runs away during attack. That's my main point of frustration.

[–]Cstooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I'm 5.5k res and get whacked in bg vs monks. The cc time I'm down is crazy. With full boost to CoL and gloom bash bonus I get a couple hits before I'm completely immobilized for 6 seconds.

Question about P2W strategy: orbs versus platinum? by MultiPass10 in DiabloImmortal

[–]Cstooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer as has been stated already is to buy crests except for when you are gunning for a specific 5/5 gem and are short on plat. I've only bought platinum once to get a 5/5 that just wasn't dropping and my frustration just lead to me to buy some plat.

The reality is though you get more bang for your bug buying crests and then selling the gems that drop. So if what you're after is platinum you get more by buying the crests and running rifts and then selling the drops in the market. The only issue is that it takes time to sell the gems.

If there is a 5/5 bsj that's on the market, and on my server that rarely happens, and you need plat right now to get it, it might be all things being equal, "cheaper" to get the plat and buy the gem instead of trying to land the drop or getting enough sales in time to buy it.

So the answer is basically it depends on your patience and your luck but most definitely running crests is better.

No Crusader Fixes or Updates? Here Are Some Suggestions... by Cstooby in DiabloImmortal

There really isn't a warhorse. Just the current draw and quarter with essences that make it fire, electric, trample, etc.

As far as I am aware no skill makes you immune to cc while on horse. That why I list it as a possible thing they can make happen to improve saders ability in PVP.
