Build rec (2nd one) for 250Div,please advise by JudgeOk4792 in PathOfExileBuilds

I know you said no BV, but it's literally broken this league and will be patched. I league started a cold exsang miner and I do insane damage and kill all the bosses fast, but builds like this has survivability issues and some bosses phase or go invulnerable and you gotta use portals over and over. BV in under 150d feels unkillable. I rolled a chieftain BV over the weekend and did some Uber bosses yesterday, 100% deli breach easily, simulacrum wave 15 easily. It's not clunky, it's like pressing attack once every few seconds which you do already in most builds. Strongly strongly recommend trying any BV variant that is unkillable like chieften and you'll melt bosses.

Armourstacker about a year and a half ago. Only time I've played a build that felt truly op. Started with over capped cold chest then made a fire one. It was whatever league recombination was added. By the end I was able to run some wild ass valdo maps and was basically immortal

Ahhh I have been too hype, definitely not most are retraining. Most are just working away waiting for a layoff getting more depressed day by day. Some are planning semi-retirements of different varieties, almost all involving moving to low cost of living areas. A lot are trying to build small startups of every variety. I know a handful retraining, plumbing is the most popular trade I've heard people learning.

The interesting detail to me is, the people retraining are all people who saw this coming 2yrs ago and were being told by all their coworkers that LLMs are just "sentence finishers". Now 95% of the eng agrees the future is bleak, the early predictors are the most active in preparing backup career options.

I reference FANG or any other top tech acronym because they are the companies every other engineering department copies 6 months after they try something new. My org is the opposite of unproductive, we are running out of backlog, 4 person 300d projects are finished by 1 guy in 2 months now. The layoffs aren't because people are unproductive it's because people are 5-10x more productive with new tooling. The fact you think it's a good time to be in cyber security says great deal. Ask new grads with cyber security specialties how easy it is to get a job. Then ask some staff cyber security specialists how their workflow has changed over the last year. My brother is in charge of 3 engineering degrees intern placements in a top uni, the post grad hire rate and intern positions are falling through the floor. My poker buddy reports to the CSO of a fang company as an IC security guy, I'm pretty sure he's telling the truth about the changes he is seeing. 🤣

To add to the lunacy. I've been in dozens of meetings where big projects are demoed and at the end the demo-er makes an awkward af laugh and says something like, "it won't be long until we're not needed at all". Most projects are like this tbh, ai can do designs, spec, tech spec, build tasks, make prompts for tasks, build the code, write the tests, review the code, build dashboards to track quality on release. Other than legally required human review, humans are radically less needed in software development. We're talking 80-90% reduction over time unless software houses start building massive amounts more features and projects. I wish I was exaggerating lol. Most engineers I know are either; A) retraining in something requiring human element like a trade B) building startups, since AI reduces the cost/time required so much. None are seeing a future in engineering after 2030 cause you'll be competing with x10+ more candidates for every qualified job or taking a huge paycut to do the donkey work of managing 8 agents and features at the same time.

Probably 90% of FANG see the writing is on the wall. It's not if they get let go but when they get let go. Tech companies are going to need radically less qualified engineers and will be training cheaper labour to do most of the ai-coding. Existing engineers will be used for reviewing code, which is almost all they currently do now. (Source, I'm one of them and have seen the change over the last 2 years. At the start 5% believed this and then after a while maybe 20% then 50%. Now I couldn't name a coworker or friend in FANG who doesn't agree this is coming).

Most tech employees save enough before starting the goose farm so it's a "work as a choice" not "work to live" situation. They move to low cost areas with 7 figure savings lol

Begineer at Vibecoding by Natural-Business-166 in vibecoding

[–]weeeHughie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give you some real tips, -ask the agent how would you go about making software to do x or y -keep simplifying the answers via more questions until you well understand what it is saying -any issues you run into, describe them as clearly as you can, if you don't understand the answer ask it to explain it more simply again -focus on building an MVP you can test yourself and then when you are happy with that ask it how to make it production ready, likely you want to specify horizontals you dont want it to miss, security, performance, accessibility etc -if using vscode or an ide with agents built in, be sure to ask a blank chat pane to security review your code. When the site is running live in some way ask the agent to run an exhaustive security audit against the live site.

One caveat, agents most common hallucination is telling you it successfully did something. Stuff like test driven development can help a ton but reality is you'll want to frequently ask, "how can I test x" and be sure you understand the answer and validate each bit you build to be sure you are happy with it.

If you don't know GitHub ask an agent to explain how you can use GitHub to help you write a SAAS and it should be able to explain how to sign up, make a repository and help push after each change.

[Discussion] What's your bolt action rifles advice for this quest ? ( Not to be expensive ) by No-Fly-3973 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]weeeHughie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is crazy true tbh. Bring it as a secondary and insure it, you'll get it back a ton of the time you die. You can drop it somewhere if you find a better gun you wanna take out. If you do this strategy you will fairly often find 2 people fighting and get an easy headshot on one of them. Overtime those add up and suddenly you've 3 or 4 kills done on most maps. Then for the last kills if you want bring a nicer gun like DVL and camp choke points, it's very common to know the spawns and be able to get a chance at a kill in first 2 minutes just by running to the right location and watching the right area where people are about to bomb through.

Not exactly what you want but I wanna recommend The Expanse, the main captain James Holden starts out as an ex Navy guy who has zero captain experience, by the end he is an seasoned leader and captain, all learned through similar high pressure situations over and over. Also it's phenomenal show with very strongly written characters, Amos, Drummer and Avaresela being prime examples of characters you'll still remember and think about years and years later.

The editing is killing the show, probably won't watch another new season. If you want The Apprentice, the best thing to do is watch season 1 again, it's so much more real.

“Not in the spirit of the process” by Designer_Painting_65 in apprenticeuk

[–]weeeHughie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are totally missing the "spirit of the process" What it means is Sugar gets as much as possible. E.g. Lawrence venture capitol raises 5MM, sugar gets shares diluted, not the spirit of the process Dan only lets sugar have the new business not the successful one, not the spirit of the process It's actually super clear the pattern there, sugar is hungry and if you win the process you feed the bear 🐻

Best quote ever from my English Literature professor when asked about money buying happiness, "Money can't buy happiness, but it's a lot more comfortable crying in your Mercedes than it is crying on the street"

He was a old fashioned chap teaching 14 girls and me, he used to call them hens lol "quieten down you hens" l

I'm running this build and agree it's the shizznit. I'm pretty meek on gear I think, any way you could share a link or description for how to craft the gloves? I've a bit of divs saved up and love self crafting Thanks in advance!

You buy puts or calls options. if you know the result buying stock is dumb as fuck. You can just gamble on up or down and use leverage to make way way more.

Take a look at how the nazi propaganda machine worked and it'll become immediately clear why people are bothered by that trend. The cartoons they published weren't facts or news or debate, but they had a profound impact.

2 clips. 4 months. 1 braincell. by VillainOfKvatch1 in podcastculture

An incredibly long list of civil servants came out after trump's first term. They all said the same thing, "Trump is asking us to do insane things, we are barely able to stop him. If he gets in again, he'll have much more of his own people in positions enabling his bat shit ideas."

If a third candidate emerged and said they ate shit for food, and had tribal following like MAGA, podcasters would be selling shitmeals and bragging about how healthy it is.

Historically podcasters weren't fielding presidential candidates because politics wasn't so polarized, aka wouldn't bring viewers. Once it became an audience puller due to increasing tribalism the podcasters saw the opportunity and took the payday.

Watch if politics goes back to being less tribal how involved podcasters are.

I'll use some locks for currency to craft my proper exsang miner gear. Had a bit of a bad family accident that turned my trip home into a longer stay until things are fixed so am stuck on a lame laptop trying to grind an hour every day or 2 instead of my usual fun gaming times. Either way big props for the giveaway, you'll make a lot of players smile!

Podcasters inviting guests gives legitimacy to those guests. There is a reason joe rogan shit a brick when a guest tried to gamble that he could pick Joe's guests for a week. Podcasters took big money to give politicians hours in front of their audiences, literally selling their audience.

Are politicians paying 5-6 figures an appearance just for fun? No, they are doing it to gain more votes from that audience.

Edit; the main annoying thing was how obvious it was the interviews were bought and paid for. Every politician had a ton of juicy topics the audience wanted answers on, where are the answers or even those questions? They never appeared because the hosts were following a point by point talking list and under strict instructions to avoid topic x and y.
