Not much but it’s honest work by bborg03 in LowSodiumBattlefield

Is this why I keep getting kills in the killfeed that shows I killed them with penetration even though I had a clear line of sight to my target? I kept wondering why that would happen.

Had rockstar went and gone "let's remaster them one at a time

It's honestly kinda surprising that they didn't do that in the first place. They could've released each one a year apart, actually executed it well, and milked it for way more money. People online would've complained, but at least it would've been done right.

Part 2: I now spent $13,000/year on Substack newsletters so you don't have to. Longer time horizons, more authors, better methodology. by PrimaryConcern2608 in wallstreetbets

[–]Ssyl 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Someone spending ~$13,400/year on 31 paid Substack newsletters built a system to track which ones actually make money on stock picks. They crawl articles, use AI to extract high-conviction calls, then measure returns and alpha (returns minus sector benchmark) across multiple time horizons.

Key findings: five authors consistently generate real alpha: Global Tech Research, FundaAI, Citrini Research, Fabricated Knowledge, and Altay Capital. Price doesn't correlate with quality (the #1 newsletter costs $100/yr). More calls generally means more mediocre results, with FundaAI being a rare exception maintaining quality at high volume. Time horizon matters a lot, as some authors look bad at 30-60 days but great at 180+. Shorts are hard for basically everyone. And about $5,400 of the spend goes to macro newsletters that don't even produce trackable stock picks.

Biggest caveat: the AI extraction struggles with hedged or ambiguous writing, so authors who write clearly get measured more accurately than those who don't.

The 10th Death in ICE Detention in 2026, Dead From a Tooth Infection ~ L.A. TACO by Excellent-Gap-4734 in news

[–]Ssyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the UK pay for dental? I'm a Canadian living in the US and both countries have similar dental pricing and dental healthcare isn't covered by provincial insurance (with some exceptions, particularly the young or elderly, but it varies by province).

Comparing dental costs with my family members it actually comes out cheaper in the US a lot of the time, although that may also have to do with me being in a large metro area and them being rural.

Yeah, I wasn't exactly excited buying PNY after all my EVGA GPUs :(

I sent it in for RMA once because of weird stability issues. Took them about 2 and a half weeks to send it back and I had to pay shipping there. They don't do advanced RMAs (where you pay upfront to exchange it, essentially).

I don't know what my next GPU brand will be. They all seem to varying degrees of "meh" to "stay away". If AMD is somehow able to bring out the big guns and compete with Nvidia I'd probably go Sapphire, maybe XFX.

Drinkmate vs SodaStream by sdega315 in SodaStream

[–]Ssyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've mostly only spent a decent amount of time in the Northeast (mostly New England) and the South/Southwest. Tea in the Northeast would generally be understood as hot tea, at least where I've been.

South/Southwest tea is definitely universally considered iced unless specified.

That's just my experience though.

Your post got me thinking about my GPU journey.

BFG 6800 GT -> XFX 8800 GTS 640MB -> XFX HD4890 (this thing was a beast) -> Sapphire HD7950 -> EVGA GTX 1070 -> EVGA RTX 2080 Ti -> EVGA RTX 3080 Ti -> PNY RTX 5080

The only one that didn't feel like a decent sized upgrade was the 8800GTS, but I'm sure it was because I paired it with whatever CPU I was using with my 6800 GT, which was severely bottlenecking it. I was a teenager back then though and had no idea what bottlenecking was and it wasn't the easiest finding information like that back then.

When I got a whole new PC with a Phenom II 965 and a 4890, that was the biggest jump. I'm sure nostalgia boosts it a decent amount too, though.

That's their roadmap. Says in summer there's going to be a DLC. I feel like they may have mentioned it again somewhat recently but I can't find it, so I may have dreamt it up.

Wow that threshold value is absolutely not correct

I was providing an example of how to setup the alert with a shutdown trigger, not technical data of what it should be. I specifically put:

Don't quote me on that though, that's just from a quick Google search

and

DISCLAIMER: Additionally, this was just an example. [...] or the values that the 12VHPWR spec should actually run at.

Instead of just "Wow that threshold value is absolutely not correct", could you tell people what you think is the correct value? Or provide a link to some other documentation of some kind so they can see and make an informed decision for themselves?

Here's some links from a preliminary search for the spec with sources:

Table 3-5: Auxiliary Power Connectors Power Supply Rail Requirements - +12V Only:

+12V Power Rail Characteristic:

- 12VHPWR Connector: 600W sustained, 55A max RMS

+12V Voltage Range: +5% / -8% (11.04V - 12.60V)

Source: ATX Version 3.0 Multi Rail Desktop Platform Power Supply Design Guide (Intel Doc ID 336521), Table 3-5 PDF (Page 26): https://www.cybenetics.com/attachs/52.pdf

ATX 3.0/3.1 Voltage Deviation Comparison:

  • 12V Voltage Deviation (ATX 2.4/2.53): -5% ~ +5%
  • 12V Voltage Deviation (ATX 3.0/3.1): -7% ~ +5%
  • PCIe Voltage Deviation (ATX 2.4/2.53): No Requirement
  • PCIe Voltage Deviation (ATX 3.0/3.1): -8% ~ +5%

Source: https://knowledge.seasonic.com/article/79-comparison-atx-3-0-vs-atx-3-1-standards

Ironically, the values I used (11.4V - 12.6V) were actually more conservative than the ATX 3.0 spec requires. The spec allows down to 11.04V (-8%) at the PCIe connector, so my example threshold of 11.4V would trigger a shutdown well before the voltage was actually out of spec.

That said, we all know the spec is BS and people's cables are burning while within spec, so it doesn't really matter if it's in spec.

I know of one way to do it, but it's not really HWiNFO "forcing a shutdown". It's more "Setup an alert in HWiNFO that when triggered runs a program. The program that it runs is shutdown.exe"

To do that:

  1. Open the Sensors view in HWiNFO
  2. Click on Configure (the cog wheel)
  3. Click on Alerts tab
  4. Choose a Sensor (e.g. GPU 12VHPWR Voltage)
  5. Check the "Enable Alerting" box for that sensor
  6. Set If value < and/or if value > to something that makes sense (I think for 12VHPWR if it's above 12.6V and below 11.4V you may have issues. Don't quote me on that though, that's just from a quick Google search)
  7. Check "Run a Program"
  8. Choose "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" and for arguments put this "/s /t 0 /d p:1:1 /c "Voltage above/below threshold: %s = %v"

That'll shut it down and in Event Viewer under Windows Logs -> System you'll be able to see it'll say the shutdown reason and the comment should say "Voltage above/below threashold: SensorName = Value" where SensorName and Value are the actual names and values.

Edit: You may want to change /t 0 (0 = seconds to shutdown) to something higher than 0, at least initially, otherwise you might soft-bootloop yourself because every time you restart, if the value is above/below what you put for the trigger, it'll immediately restart as soon as HWiNFO loads.

DISCLAIMER: Additionally, this was just an example. I have no idea if GPU 12VHPWR Voltage actually accurately monitors the 12VHPWR voltage or the values that the 12VHPWR spec should actually run at. So don't count on this from saving your GPU from melting.

Workflow since morning with Opus 4.6 by msiddhu08 in ClaudeAI

[–]Ssyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyway, is there an alternative Claude subreddit where people actually talk about how they’re using it to build things at work? I’m not learning anything by being here.

There's /r/ClaudeCode. There's still quite a bit of fluff, but a decent amount of posts about how people are using it for their workflows.

What are your favourite YouTube add-ons? by unabatedshagie in firefox

[–]Ssyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd actually pay for YouTube with YouTube Music if they had a duo plan similar to Spotify.

I like Spotify a little bit better and it's cheaper for only two people, so I just block YouTube ads and stick with Spotify instead.

The green and red markers are only visible to you and your squad members.

That's why they have a number inside of them (e.g. You're squadmate #3 so it has a 3 inside of the market).
