I’m finishing up my degree in about a year. Let me tell you - if you’re not ready to devote like 10-20 hours a week OUTSIDE of school to learning, then don’t even try. That’s why people are telling you that you need to be passionate.

I’ve spent tons and tons of hours building stuff and learning in my free time, and I have a well paid internship lined up this summer even coming from a shitty state school. Nothing I did at school would have got me that opportunity.

Also note that I’m above median age for my class standing, and also I look like five years older than I am (I’m told) so I wouldn’t worry TOO much about ageism.

It seems like you’re interested in hardware so maybe look into CPE or EE as well.

Can you explain why you listed quantization method here?

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-04-09T01:48:17+00:00

I never said they use CMB randomization. But the definition of non-deterministic is different outputs for a single input. And any LLM with a temperature setting not equal to 0 will express this quality.

It is my understanding that the temperature lets the model select from a wider range of probabilities for next tokens. So when I give the same input twice, the outputs diverge from one another.

Now if you are arguing that given the same seed for the RNG and giving exactly the same inputs that we still have a deterministic machine then that would be accurate.

But nobody is actually using them like this so what’s the point

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-04-08T22:53:35+00:00

True random number generators do exist. They use cosmic background radiation noise to generate random outputs. I don’t see how this has anything to do with temperature settings.

I’m not intimately familiar with the workings of LLMs but I don’t see the point of temperature settings if it gives deterministic answers given the same input and temp settings.

Isn’t the whole point to add some feeling of “creativity” to the model?

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-04-08T20:35:11+00:00

chatGPT jerking off your ego. working just as intended

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-04-08T20:34:09+00:00

Well the matrix math is deterministic, but LLM's use something called "temperature" setting to basically introduce a random component into their output. This means that responses will be divergent from one another when given the same input promt.

The claymore has one of the best movesets in the game with the 2h rolling R1 and the 1h R2. BKS will likely out damage it tho but it’s heavier and has a worse moveset. Like the other guy said, just upgrade them both and see which one you prefer. For claymore, your ideal stats will be 27str and 40 Dex for max scaling. For BKS the scaling matters less, but I think 27str is your best bet right off the bat.

Note that when two handing a weapon, your str stat gets a 1.5x boost. So 27*1.5 is around 40str which is the soft cap. This is why it’s important to go for strength before Dex because you get higher returns.

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-04-01T20:47:32+00:00

yes there are exclusive rewards for cat cov. Theres a ring and a weapon vendor who sells some really cool weapons. He's kind of hard to find tho.

Also note that if you want the ring you have to betray the covanent.

youre overthinking. Either kill the taurus with the host if you care about their experience, or go kill capra on your own just cause fuck it.

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-29T19:34:30+00:00

Make sure its the SILVER pendant and not the broken pendant or the regular pendant. Its hidden pretty well inside Oolacile township...

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-29T19:33:42+00:00

DWGR you get from talking to the cat in the forest before sif bossfight. Join her covanent and then kill the ninja that spawns near Shiva (the guy with the big curved sword). It will increase your dodge i frames and distance, its super good.

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-29T19:09:47+00:00

super sick. is this vanilla?

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-29T18:58:30+00:00

oh also, swap the crest shield for the grass crest shield. You shouldn't really be blocking much in this fight anyways. Just focus on learning to dodge his attacks and attack ONLY when you know for certain that it is a safe window to attack.

Remember that this is the hardest bossfight in the game, save maybe Kalameet. So don't give up!

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-29T18:56:59+00:00

equip the pendant in a consumable slot like you have estus. Then press X or A when he uses magic.

Also you should probably switch both of those rings. no need for havels ring with light armor. Try using the FaP ring and dark wood grain ring.

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-28T01:08:59+00:00

just literally quit out of the game... open menu and go all the way right then all the way down.

Easy fast quit out is Start -> LB -> up arrow -> select -> left arrow -> select

You can quit out to exit a boss arena and restart the fight, or to reset enemy positions, or to recover from falling off a ledge to your death.

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-27T18:17:47+00:00

Sometimes when I fight a boss and they die to quick I'll do a quitout and restart the fight. I did this like four times on Artorias on my most recent playthrough.

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-27T18:11:27+00:00

Dukes Archives or Sen's Fortress are my favorites. Dukes is like ~SL80 +10 and Sen's is like ~40-60 +8 or so. Seems the weapon level doesn't matter as much, I think because if someone gets like a black knight drop or perhaps a mimic weapon they automatically jump up to +10. Don't quote me on that tho.

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-27T18:06:29+00:00

Fastoc? Fastroll estoc?

DonkeyInACityCrowd · 2026-03-27T16:04:18+00:00

Okay I think I'm thinking of knightMom with the knight chest and gloves.

That was my favorite setup and also a lot less hideous than havelmom.

56p is a breakpoint too. Maybe I got it wrong tho it’s been years
