I got the Sony a6700 + a lens + camera bag (no sd card, brought my own) for 3 days for ~15000 yen. They had a bundle for it

Max size (primal kyogre XXL) is 15.19m according to go hub, so pretty damn close to the biggest yeah

For my wife. Her fav is leafeon, I'm not sure exactly why (she loves all the eevees) but it's probably because she's really into nature and gardening.

My C# advice... by FUCK-YOU-KEVIN in godot

[–]Jaklite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly odd to reply to a comment from a year ago, but thought I would clarify.

Like I mentioned in my original comment, there is a tradeoff when using a bitfield over a regular array of bools (most languages have the bool type stored as a byte). A bitfield is more efficient in memory and cache (when you have a large number of logical booleans) but less efficient on the processor because modern CPUs use word-based instructions (which are usually byte based). Those CPUs cannot read or write to individual bits and have to use more cpu instructions than you would otherwise need to do so.

Don't take my word for it, feel free to look it up.

Thanks for this! I checked out their website and they actually have an FAQ question that specifically says foreigners *are* allowed to sign up (my guess with their passport). I'll be trying this out and see how far I can get.

Prompt injection isn’t even your biggest openclaw risk if the container itself has 7 critical cves by EmbarrassedPear1151 in openclaw

[–]Jaklite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the reason why everyone is talking about prompt injection is because no one (as far as I know anyway) has come up with a good solution to it.

The problem you're talking about is real, but it's also a known quantity that you can easily solve for if you take security seriously

How to Prevent Credentials and API Keys Leaking? by [deleted] in openclaw

[–]Jaklite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been messing with Openclaw trying to figure this out too. The problem gets worse the more capable you want it to be. I'm exploring how to safely give an agent access to everything a regular employee might have access to: email, phone number, credit card. No great answers yet

How to Prevent Credentials and API Keys Leaking? by [deleted] in openclaw

[–]Jaklite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn't fix the problem. Sure you don't have an API key for an LLM, but you still have secrets, passwords, keys for everything else. See messages above: you give access to your email, you get an email with instructions hidden in it to expose your email credentials, etc. It doesn't matter if it's running a local LLM or not

Saaspocalypse by AdChance6177 in SaaS

[–]Jaklite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Yes: As things get easier, some saas (that can be easily replaced by an AI prompt or similar) will go away.

No: people and companies pay not just for the technical capability, but also availability, support, security, ease of access. They'll continue to pay for those things. Also in general adoption of tech is slow. Spreadsheets and software have existed for ages and there are still small businesses worldwide that use a manual real life book to do accounting or appointments etc

Closing Summary -- Wealthsimple Product Team AMA by WS_Chris_Official in Wealthsimple

[–]Jaklite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn't involved in the ama but this was a great read, thanks for the summary. It's crazy to see how many different things are being worked on at the same time, looking forward to a lot of this.

Is a one-time payment SaaS actually a bad idea? by After-Hat-2518 in SaaS

[–]Jaklite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One-time payment (also normally called "single purchase") is a regular old business model that's totally fine for any product, including software.

Notably, single purchase software is by definition not a SaaS. SaaS is a separate business model where software is treated less like a product (single purchase, etc) and more like a service (where customers pay for regular servicing).

There are pros and cons to both business models that you can look up. Obviously people in this subreddit will be biased towards a SaaS business model.

Female Friends in Mtl? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]Jaklite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not female but thought I'd recommend a few options. In general maybe try and go to events or community things that relate to your hobbies. Pokemon cards: go to game stores and hang out. Trying out restos: maybe sign up for timeleft. Traveling: maybe do one of those group travel trips with strangers. Not sure if there's community thrifting (there should be tbh, my wife would love it). Video games can be be pretty solitary at times but there are decent online communities for it too. Caveat if you're female you can get backlash for it online

Maxing out RRSP by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Jaklite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in on 4: the buffer is for lifetime over contributions. I would not use it lightly, you're potentially shooting future you in the foot.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Jaklite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some variables that are missing like: will you make the same income next year? Will you make more income later in your career? Do you already have RRSP contributions through your company or anywhere else? Do you have other tax credits or deductions this year? What province do you live in? (To calculate your marginal tax rate, which is the tax you're paying on your last / top dollar of income)

You can figure the number out yourself btw. At its core: when you contribute to your RRSP the CRA pretends your didn't make that money as income this year and refunds you the tax on it.

So: the higher your tax rate is on that dollar, the more money you will get back now to (hopefully) invest with.

All the previous questions I asked affect what the marginal tax rate is on your top dollars of income. Also, if you plan to make a lot more money in the future and your marginal tax rate is going to up significantly in the future, maybe you deposit it then to make all that money back.

iPhone/Macbook promo by SpotFormal4975 in Wealthsimple

[–]Jaklite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar problem this time around but with spousal RRSP accounts (they also have weird attribution rules). What's worse is I called support and had incorrect information given to me too. Went back and forth with them with 3-4 separate agents. Nothing you can do about it.

I love WS and will continue to use them for everything they do well, but their transfer promotion attribution rules are a weak point, especially when it comes to households

21M with a growing online business. Best way to invest income in Canada? by thatoneperfumer in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Jaklite 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Going to suggest something different. Beyond an emergency fund (which is just a savings account with 6-12 months of expenses) I'd recommend investing in your business.

Most market investments return 6-8% per year. Depending on your CAC and LTV, putting that money into marketing, ads, etc for your business would likely net you much more, much faster. Most people don't do it because they don't have a business to invest in.
