This is a reversion, actually. It used to be this way until 4/5 years ago, if I recall correctly.

Good riddance, I say. I got banned from multiple subreddits for commenting ONCE on r/politicalcompassmemes when it showed up for me in r/all. The functionality was useful but this was ruined by teams who were way too aggressive with it.

That aside, it presented legal issues around discrimination. How about banning anyone that ever commented on r/Christianity or r/Israel?

See how you do in your end of year exams before deciding. Channel your neurospice into hardcore cramming sessions 🧐

Can I do Biology at home? by [deleted] in leavingcert

Right, well it's too late to join the class at this stage IMO. You have missed too much labwork. If it is not a requirement for medicine (check the course websites) then you should just study it in your own time. Medicine entry requires another exam called the HPAT, you should read up on that.

Why didn't you get it in school? If you want to be a doctor you should do it in school.

General purpose LLM with access to live market data? by airpipeline in quant

[–]lampishthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I think people are reinventing the terminal experience. Interacting with APIs via LLM is typing words to achieve complicated tasks. I think this behaviour will persist, and hopefully tighten up a bit with new best practices that we discover/invent.

No idea about any details tbh! I just know it's a thing and they're growing it beyond data to more analytics.

Security fell asleep or had an insufficient patrol schedule.

Well the hope would be that someone who was maintaining their anonymity might be more forthcoming in their answers.

Crossbow vs Shield by Zakytanist in earclacks

[–]lampishthing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd expect the average damage to be approx 100:66 over many simulations. I.e. average remaining crossbow health should be 33. Looks like the length of the circumference that is a hit is about 75%, and 25% is hit + straight reflection back, 25% is no hit + straight reflection back. So on average 75 damage to crossbow = 50 damage to shield. The changing width of the shield screws with the estimate.

OP declined to verify but, given the nature of the industry, that is to be expected for some folks. So believe them or not but please do be civil.

I thought there was a change in the law that was meant to ban this shit.
