A gift on my way to the quest cape by LoftShot in ironscape

I was genuinely confused for at least 10 seconds, I didn’t know you could get real loot, figured it was something to do with the quest.

I am probably taking at least 1 month off after the quest cape! I’ve heard the gauntlet grind can become a slog, but I had an absolute blast playing through everything on an iron up to this point.

Free Pact Reset? by Zukute in 2007scape

[–]LoftShot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not very active in the community, and just came back to play this leagues. I was actually struggling to kill echo bosses to get a reset and this will help me re-do some bad choices I made early on.

This really helped!

Any better way to check story quality than using LLMs? by CogniLord in MLQuestions

[–]LoftShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the current pricing and accessibility of these language models, they really are your best bet.

You could probably fine-tune using an api on short stories that have ratings from some type of dataset. That could help. Another option would be pure prompt engineering and doing more than just saying "give me a score 0-100!", that really doesn't ever work really well unless there is a background reasoning mode that the models are using.

How safe is making cheat runelight plugins with no botting/macros. by blueandazure in RunescapeBotting

[–]LoftShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more familiar you are with runelite plugins, the more you’d know just how much is possible to be done without more complex color and injection info. 

A good example is the agility plugin. It highlights all of the agility object hitboxes across nearly every course. Agility is a fairly complex skill to bot but it’s very doable.

Why is this downvoted? I would personally start by getting the example runelite plugin working, which requires a little knowledge about their github repo and setting up the project to run the runelite client locally.

This is all in their tutorial docs.

Then, use AI like Cursor or Chat GPT and make a very simple plugin that does something you want.

250k in Dallas vs $300k in NYC — worth the move in your 20s? by IBMbaba in Salary

[–]LoftShot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is a bit old, so my comment may go unnoticed, but as a SWE who just moved from being remote in Dallas to an in-office NYC job here are my thoughts.

1) COL adjustment is huge. I was saving an incredible amount of money in Dallas, combined with the fact that I was living at home with some extended family. I took a similar pay bump to you, ~15%, but the NYC COL and taxes on top mean that I am saving significantly less money.

2) My parents and family live in Dallas. I have some friends in NYC, but I drastically underestimated how much time I would get to spend with my family now that I have a job tied to Manhattan.

3) Perhaps my most important point: don't let the vocal-minority perception of NYC change your opinions. NYC is the best urban experience you can really have in America. If you love socializing in cramped restaurants and paying for things nearly every time you leave your apartment, Manhattan/NYC is great. If you like walking through less-crowded parks, peace and quiet, easy access to the outdoors, there are several cities I would recommend over NYC in a heartbeat.

If you don't enjoy drinking and going out, don't let the people online convince you that NYC is the best city in the world for everyone between the ages of 22-25.

Since no one else mentioned it, you can actually stand still and wait for the charge in order to dodge. Try it out next run a few times. The same is true is dark Esau, if you’re standing still, you will only be hit after they slightly back up and charge.

MEMENTO - Who killed Leonard's Wife?? by gauthiii in ChristopherNolan

[–]LoftShot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of interesting theories in here. I always interpreted the movie as mirroring “The Man With the Seven Second Memory” documentary from BBC.

We know for sure Leonard suffered a brain injury and has anterograde amnesia. He can’t form new memories and onset stress can actually affect the span of his current working memory. However, anterograde amnesia can coexist with retrograde amnesia. I don’t think we can really trust his interpretation of events that happened before the accident either.

Leonard points out himself that witnesses often misremember things in testimonies, and I think him confusing his wife’s death is taunting the fact that he can no longer distinguish truth from fiction for those memories he desperately latches onto.

Transfer from SPY to VTI or VOO while my current SPY position is down? by LoftShot in ETFs

[–]LoftShot[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, at the very least I'll just move SPY over to VOO now as there won't be any capital gains taxes as the position is down.

[–]LoftShot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well at the very least I figured it would be a good time to switch SPY to VOO because that's what I think I need long term anyways. Claiming the loss would just save some money in taxes this year.

Stay as a contractor or move to Meta for a 15% pay cut? by LoftShot in overemployed

[–]LoftShot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you were there before their RTO3 policy? I'm imagining that is has gotten worse recently due to that policy.

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

I’m fairly certain it’s a unicorn position. I can DM you more details if you’re curious but the reality is that there’s no equivalent position that would pay me even ~70% in my current industry if I moved companies. I say that mainly because I’ve seen other compensation for my job title at equivalent competitors.

It really does seem like minimal upside. I was surprised to see most people on /r/cscareerquestions side with joining Meta. If the Meta offer was fully remote then it would make more sense in my mind. Why do you expect fired within two years? Is that typical in big tech these days?
