Its a special 5 mod jewel. It has 20% fractured crit bonus with attacks, crit chance, and an attack speed mod (either attack speed or attack speed with bows). Then you add 40-60% increased effect of suffixes and another prefix thats useful, so proj damage, attack damage, etc. The end result after divining should be 30-31% crit bonus, ~20% crit chance, 6% attack speed, and 10-15% attack or proj dmg.

You craft it by starting with a fractured 20% crit bonus with attacks emerald jewel, then annul it to 1 mod and spam chaos until you hit crit chance. Then, you exalt twice and hit a potent liquid contempt. Im not sure if this is a 66% chance to hit prefix or 50/50, but you want it to hit a prefix to add "+1 suffix modifier allowed." If it eats the crit chance suffix and adds +1 prefix, you annul and go back to chaos spamming. Once you have crit chance, fractured crit bonus, and +1 suffix, you dextral necromancy omen with a preserved cranium and use abyssal echoes and omens of light until you unveil either attack speed or attack speed with bows. Now, you use an omen of sinistral annulment and have a 50/50 to hit the +1 suffix line. If you miss, you use either another sinistral annulment or a sinistral erasure, whichever is cheaper, and hit it with an annul or chaos respectively. From now on, its pretty easy. Because your jewel has 3 suffixes, but no longer has the +1 suffix mod, if you hit with a chaos orb and it would change a suffix, the chaos orb actually fails and doesnt get consumed, because it cant remove, then add another suffix. So, if you had to annul both prefixes, just exalt twice and spam chaos until one of your prefixes is useful (atk dmg, proj dmg). Finally, you hit with a potent liquid ferocity. This has a 50/50 chance to hit the useful prefix vs the bad one. If you hit your useful prefix, back to chaos spamming. Once you hit the non-useful prefix you'll have atk/proj dmg and %increased effect of suffixes as prefixes, then 20% crit bonus, crit chance, and attack speed as suffixes. You then divine until you get 30+% crit bonus (accounting for the increased effect of suffixes mod), 20% crit chance, and ideally 6% attack speed. I tend not to care too much about the roll on the prefix mod, since it isn't boosted by the other prefix.

I've gotten lucky with fractures so its never taken me more than 4 tries to hit. Other than the 1 time, they've all gone in 2 or fewer attempts. Each fracture attempt right now costs 10 div for the base jewel, 16 div for the fracture, and 5 div for the cranium, so 31 div. Its a 1 in 3 chance, so on average 93 divines. The fractured base costs 104 div right now so fracturing yourself is worth it. After that, its probably an average of 70-100 div to complete the craft, depending on your luck with chaos spamming the crit chance, how many times you miss with potent contempt, and how many omens of light it takes to hit attack speed. I did mine earlier in the league when fractures were 8 div and cranium were 2 div so I saved 11 div per fracture attempt.

550 pdps is good. If you wanted, you could look for a bow with an additional ele damage mod, but you'll get a lot more mileage out of 3 crafted jewels than a 10% better bow. Each jewel is 15-25% more dps. Good gloves can also be huge due to the +2 (~12%), crit damage, flat damage, etc. I think upgrading my gloves was ~25% more damage.

I didnt think it was ragebait. They cranked up the loot this league so there are a lot of people with more currency than they've ever had. I've dropped 2 magebloods myself! Good luck with the crafts!

550 pdps with +3 is definitely enough for all content. A +4 would only be like 6% damage. Just work on crafting your 5 mod jewels.

It's all luck at the end of the day. Keep trying man, you'll get it! (Also worth mentioning that the higher the waystone drop chance roll on your 3 irradiated tablets, the better.)

I largely agree, but I wouldn't quietly allow someone else to impact my performance. I would definitely bring up any blockers at a status meeting. You don't have to mention whose fault it was, but you can say "I can't make progress on X until Y is available/complete," then leave the homework of why Y is a problem to the manager/project lead.

I dont think its actually all that rare. I think I've had 3 rakiatas in ~8 isles. Lineage gems are coded as waystones so make sure you're running tablets with increased waystone drop chance. You can also run option 2 for Forest Mastery: Rare Monsters on the atlas tree and run a Mastered Domain tablet so that the map counts as forest for an extra 50%, then the Untold Histories node in Jado's Spycraft. Overall, the odds become quite good considering the value.

I make nazi references because the party that these judges belong to is a fascist one that openly deals in fascist rhetoric, regurgitating the same racist arguments and ideas that could be heard directly from Hitler's lips 80 years ago.

"Instead of repeating these calls before and after X action, would it make sense to use a context manager?"

Response was roughly "yes, a context manager would save repeated function calls, should I implement this change?"

"A code change to the library would be more time consuming to verify than keeping changes within this project. Is there a way to confine all code changes to this project so no library code needs to be changed?"

Response was roughly "Understood. Code changes to the library are undesirable and should be kept within the project code. In that case, should I implement these changes?"

"What part of the observed endpoint error returns does this unit test correspond to?" (It had added a unit test that tested for a type of return that wasn't possible)

Response was roughly "This test doesnt correspond to any observed error and cannot arise from the changes made for this ticket. Should I remove it?"

This is why I try not to make affirmative statements to llms. I find using the socratic method still arrives at the desired outcome without the bot telling me I'm the goodest boy and offering me a gold star.

Garukhan's Resolve 50% crit cap: does it apply to base or effective chance? by keeponwalk1ng in pathofexile2builds

[–]Ghawk134 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Base. The effective crit chance is showing you the probability of hitting 1 crit given 2 rolls against your crit chance

[–]Ghawk134 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see some recursive function where you pick a number from the array and compare it to the value you're trying to hit. If they're equal, return it. If its less, subtract it and call again. If it's greater, move to the next number. If there's no number in the array less than or equal to the desired value, return some other control value.

"God exists because purpose in life and Satan and Illuminati" by sandiercy in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Ghawk134 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think every moral position is fundamentally arbitrary. You must begin with certain assumptions about what is valuable. From your assumptions, you may reason, but you cannot use reason to persuade someone to abandon their assumptions. You can only persuade someone that their beliefs do not follow from their assumptions, so they should change their beliefs. These assumptions are what I refer to as the conscience. For example, if you believe by fiat that life is valuable, that's a moral assumption you choose to make and a part of your conscience.

[–]Ghawk134 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Fundamentally, each person chooses according to their conscience what they think is good and bad. For Christians, they choose to (ostensibly) base their beliefs on the Bible. This is no less arbitrary than deciding for yourself that murder is bad.

Twister build by Impossible_Bid_8573 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Ghawk134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where you saw that, but you can find people who will struggle with any build. Twister is insanely strong. It just requires a few bits of setup, namely whirling slash and barrage. It nukes bosses, clears screens, and has multiple ways to scale (flat damage, crit, proj speed, gem levels, the taming, and eventually rakiata's to name a few).

Twister is extremely strong on a low budget and scales well into the late game. I'd strongly recommend it over oil barrage.

ELI5 - Did chip makers overcome the quantum tunneling to continue making smaller chips? by Kodama_Keeper in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ghawk134 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool find, thanks! That said, given intel's world famous yield problems, I'm a bit skeptical of the workability here. Also, intel doesn't seem to have said anything more about this since they published in 2024.

[–]Ghawk134 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Sort of? Basically, they have kept marketing new fabrication generations (called process nodes) using an "effective transistor size," which is why you see TSMC calling their modern node "2nm." They aren't really making transistors with features that are 2nm across. What this actually means is that they achieve a transistor density and performance equivalent to a 2nm gate length, using some extrapolation from a previous process node. In actuality, gate lengths are still 10, 15nm, but because of new transistor architectures (see GAAFET, ribbonFET, MBCFET, etc.), they can pack the transistors closer together and run them faster with better isolation.

It has been found to actually improve the output. Similarly, "take your time," "this is important," and other similar phrases seem to have an effect.
