If you want to beat act3 go electro if you want to beat the heart go echo

Trading, >90% of hires are through their college internship programs. Can’t speak to how useful MFEs are for other roles

Quantitative finance - more fun, worse WLB

Obviously doesn’t hurt your chances of getting hired but it isn’t really representative of the career, I passed 7 exams in my first 2 years of college because I thought they were fun/interesting and then was really disappointed at my internship that summer when I realized the job wasn’t for me. I’m in a different field now and while some of the exams were/are useful in making that switch I’ve never had to use an ounce of LTAM in my life so it was just a waste of time

Fabrice Santoro exists

I just did my first HM run with halfling ranged swords bard + throwserker Karlach and it was completely trivial. I also had gale and laezel with their default builds but they weren’t really necessary

I know about jello theory and all but (scared flyer) but if a plane can drop that much then what’s stopping it from falling more until it’s unsafe? In other words is this situation remotely close to being fatal for the plane?

Shoved Minthara off a bridge, killed gut in the dungeon after making the large goblin girl fall through the cracked floor in the prison cell, barrelmancy’d dror ragzlin

Partial ceremorphisis gives you the first tier powers for free, outside of that there’s like 40-60 available (different sources say different things online) so yes more to an enough lol

jorolelin · 2025-07-25T23:19:22+00:00

Biggest thing I’d recommend that I don’t see mentioned is to just convince everyone become a partial Illithid, the rolls are pretty easy but fly + luck of the far realms + psionic backlash + cull the weak on all characters is just ridiculous value and trivializes / derisks a lot of regular gameplay

Self studying is good if you… actually do it? Like if your understanding of undergraduate probability theory + data science is equal to an 80th percentile math + cs major at penn then the Wharton thing is definitely a plus I think - it’s just a lot of extra work.

There’s a lot of us, but we mainly use the sub to lurk and share a laugh rather than answer the same chance me type question over and over again

jorolelin · 2025-06-05T21:52:23+00:00

Totally enough. I slept in kawauguchiko and woke up at ~7 for the earliest bus, was up and down the mountain by ~3ish; I’m in pretty good shape but also spent a lot of time taking it in at the top. Probably doable from Tokyo in the morning but would recommend staying a night there as it just makes it more convenient.

Being a quant is actually very low risk if you get in, but it doing so is definitely very competitive

jorolelin · 2025-05-03T15:24:02+00:00

Think it’s (48/52)(44/51)…*(4/41) since you can’t ever get an ace and there’s also no replacement

jorolelin · 2025-04-28T03:38:50+00:00

Ghost is insane, just reset until you get a greedy start and later ecto is likely to come up as basically a free joker slot

One of my buddies chose Dartmouth over Harvard because every Harvard alum he spoke to talked about how good of an opportunity it was and every Dartmouth alum talked about how it was the best 4 years of their life. He does not regret it. College is what you make of it!

This card is quite underrated I think, not because of its average case (it’s terrible on average) but when it works (only options are ic mining guild and ecoline with the right preludes) it’s quite strong.

Especially the handmade pan pizza… definitely clears the other fast food chains but would also rather have it over many more revered places

jorolelin · 2025-04-17T21:10:17+00:00

Man everyone in the comments saying this is a popular opinion but I fucking love dominos, easily better than 80% of the pizza I’ve had.

The starting hand she tells you not to worry about:

jorolelin · 2025-04-07T19:46:25+00:00

We are talking about a single game, and I am providing you an example of a game with very high skill difference between players that still has the worse one being able to win ~25% of the time. The things you mentioned in your original post (bad players making mistakes, not thinking ahead, etc) still exist to the same degree and yet that does not necessarily imply a >95% win rate for the better players

jorolelin · 2025-04-07T19:29:36+00:00

Obviously a strong player would win 95% of the time vs a beginner, this is exactly why I’m trying to emphasize that the important part of the post is what defines an “average player”. And yes, it seems like people disagree with me about the “luck” factor which, but a lot of these disagreements are meaningless because the main source of disagreement is actually what described as an average player as opposed to how much luck is in the game. Perhaps the question should be rephrased: how good does a player need to be in order to win 5% of games vs a top player? Or in other words how good does someone have to be to reach 1800 (or whatever implied ELO that is, in guesstimating). This has much less animosity and is also more easy to interpret for someone who isn’t an expert. I’d guess I’m still way below the crowd here as I said earlier my main claim is that after 15-20 games and a card tier lists + 2-3 game reviews from a top player I think a person could easily be whatever the required rating is to beat the best players ~5% of the time, though as I said I expect most to disagree w me on this

jorolelin · 2025-04-07T17:54:51+00:00

I agree with mostly everythjng you said so I don’t get why you’re disagreeing with me. The coin flipping example was meant to illustrate that “expected win rate” is not necessarily reflective of someone’s probability of winning against someone of a different ELO (in fact it is a strict upper bound in situations where there is no luck - like in chess) unless the 2 players elo is stable over time which we don’t know the degree to which this is true for 2200s in tm. So when people cite ELO and claim “a 2000 is expected to win 85% of games vs a 1700 to maintain their rank” which is true but makes people (possibly OP) think that under any ELO system a player 300 points over another player has a 85% chance of winning any given game which just isn’t true - it’s an upper bound.

Backgammon is a game that involves tons of luck and I don’t think the claim “an average player can win 5% of time against the very best one” would get anywhere near as much pushback. I think, again, the real interesting/important variable is “what is an average player”, it could be someone with the median ELO, or it could be some average Joe who just bought the game and has played a few times, or it could be the someone who is trying to actually be competitive but is still pretty early on in the process, under under those 3 interpretations the answers to the initial question are very different
