It's great that you are thinking about this. Here is another potentially more valuable tool to consider: a problem generator.

The goal is to identify problems, tunable complexity from mundane to moonshot, in a selectable field. You also select the customer, a tunable value for the customer (low to high), and the field/industry.

You could prototype this with a well-developed prompt in your favorite AI and discover other parameters that could be important, e.g. now vs. future or something like production vs delivery vs support vs etc.

For example: suppose you select "bakery" as the field/industry, "medium" as the complexity, "high" as the value and "delivery." You might get potential problems such as:

- low cost direct to customer delivery
- rapid point-of-sale
- improved warmth of baked goods upon delivery
- etc.

This approach could of course be applied to all sorts of fields.

The Supercharger program got heavily deprioritized.

Electric car charging stations exist only through subsidization.

Tesla got only 17% of the federal NVEI grants (which they were disappointed by, given that they sell more electric cars than every other automaker combined).

So rather than burn their own cash to build charging networks, Tesla will let the other interested actors do it, as Tesla focuses on building cars.

Musk had already announced that Tesla would be laying off 10% (so ~14,000 people), in a corresponding adjustment to year-over-year sales.

Musk said that he would not keep any executive "who retains more than three people who don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test." He and Rebecca Tinucci (supercharger lead) disagreed over what changes to make. Musk decided to clean slate rebuild the Supercharger program. (No, not every single person will be gone.)
Obviously orangutans are much smarter as a species, they are know to pass down knowledge/behaviors, including tool usage, down generations. But there could be more to this behavior.

OP here. Married Filing Jointly has nearly 90k of long term capital gains in the 0% tax bracket. Most the "income" coming from qualified dividends, long term capital gains, and importantly the original cost basis of the investments you sold. This is all before more complicated withdraw strategies. So the taxation at that level ends up being smaller than you think. I need to make a longer post going into all the details explaining it all.

We all got into this career in the hopes of making more than just a living wage and retiring early. This person worked hard, made money (quite a bit of it) and then got out when they realized they could. Pretty much exactly what anyone you ask will say they hope for. Lambasting them for them for then posting "I did it" is pretty weird.

(Lambast them for the job they did, if they did a terrible job. Not for getting out of the game)

Then what do you think the goal of their disinformation campaign was? Given you say they are the opposite of bad at it, I guess that means you think they achieved their goal, so can you give examples of that successful disinformation campaign?

This is just wrong. You are misinterpreting what I'm saying to mean what you want it to say and not what it does say, then getting confused, angry and demanding answers. It's not a winning strategy.

EDIT: in the spirit of generosity I will add a detail you seem to be missing: those target groups can be very very very very small indeed.

Mathematically accurate though.
It's not the optimization per se, it's taking it too far, over-playing it to the point of removing the magic, the special sauce, etc.

Nvidia Just Published ChatQA 1.5, a Llama3 QA/RAG Finetune
Looks quite a solid fine tune from benchmark results. I iwsh they had added benchmark comparison to GPT 4 Turbo as well.

From the huggingface page:

Model Details

We introduce Llama3-ChatQA-1.5, which excels at conversational question answering (QA) and retrieval-augumented generation (RAG). Llama3-ChatQA-1.5 is built using the training recipe from ChatQA (1.0), and it is built on top of Llama-3 base model. Additionally, we incorporate more conversational QA data to enhance its tabular and arithmatic calculation capability. Llama3-ChatQA-1.5 has two variants: Llama3-ChatQA-1.5-8B and Llama3-ChatQA-1.5-70B. Both models were originally trained using Megatron-LM, we converted the checkpoints to Hugging Face format.

If you're trying to examine how disinformation works, it ought to make sense to start with a couple of the examples with major widespread impact.
My understanding was 'measuring is touching' with light, imparting energy into the delicate system, and no measurement can be done at that scale (thanks to the rules of light frequency/energy) that can both detect it and be weak enough to not bother the result.

So when I say like the double slit needs to be adapted, it would need to account for such. It would need to test for 'choice' from a particle... somehow...

Or... maybe randomness as a concept is flawed. Maybe randomness === '(some level of informed?) choice' from particles we are not privy too. not some 'hidden variable' but a dynamic ability to 'choose'?

How would we prove random is random and not a choice/decision we can't see or understand?

I have chickens myself and the bird flu is a constant worry every winter. I am amazed that the governments of the world don't do more and that there is very little news coverage about it since to me it feels like it is a much larger threat than most.

I read somewhere that scientists mutated it and that it's only 2 mutations away from spreading human to human and that the mutations are such that they could happen in nature.

I am a bit worried of the bird flu and I am very confused over the fact that we care so little about it and keep trading with countries that have horrible animal care which probably is the root cause of these diseases.
Right. O(f(n)) is literally only defined for situations where n 1: varies between different runs of the algorithm, and 2: can grow arbitrarily large. Even though in practice ‘arbitrarily large’ is always limited by memory, storage, etc.

Talking about algorithms being O(n) in the number of bits in a value is only reasonable if the number of bits in the value actually varies between runs.

I think it's not so much directly trying to solve a specific problem as trying to strip away even more hardcoded parts and then proving it's possible to start from that even smaller than lisp syntax level of syntax and still build back up to something structured.

There's e.g. a giant pile of pure maths that demonstrates how to build up basic normal maths from a much tinier set of axioms and I find taking this in a similar spirit to make it make a lot more sense.

(helps I was a pure maths grad once, mind, my metaphor may be utterly useless to anybody who isn't)

So are healthcare costs in middle age.

It’s the biggest complication in trying to make early-retirement numbers work. The solution I’ve read for some FIRE bloggers (especially the “just barely spend anything, it’s so easy to FIRE!” sort who usually turn out to be making it work by having three part-time jobs, including blogging about FIRE for affiliate income) is they just plan to get a corporate job again if anyone in their family gets seriously ill, which… is making some risky assumptions, I think.

Is learning Python worth it for an aspiring sysadmin?
I am planning my entire year, 2024. And Most(50%) of the chunk of my time for the first 4-5 months has been dedicated to python.

I need to re-evaluate if learning python is worth for me at this stage of my career.

I just started my career as a product support engineer. And I am marching towards being a sysadmin.

My goal of learning programming is not clear. I am learning because everybody in reddit said so. I do realize that learning TO PROGRAM is extremely valuable.

BUT,I've other priorities that I immediately need to learn(which I actually use on my job or similar jobs). They are:

- docker

- kubernetes

- SQL administration

- intermediate Linux topics like servers(mail,DNS...),LVMs etc

- Ansible

- Git

The hesitation is due to the fact that I've attempted and wasted lots of time learning to program because it never made me click and I'm not hopeful it'd click now.

I think this is a bad take. The idea that the device manufacturer is owed a cut of all third party software sold for it is a new one. Apple never would have asked for a cut of all Apple II software sold in the '80s because that would have been preposterous.

This makes me think of Michel Foucault's perspective on mental illness. That what we pathologize in society is related to what society values negatively in someone's personality and temperament. I agree that this has been historically true but may be changing more with the modern approach to mental illness.

The way the idea of pathology was taught to me when I took my introductory Psychology classes was framed more in relationship to the idea of healthy functioning. This meant being able to fulfill obligations like being able to work and take care of yourself but also recognizing conditions whose harm is more internally felt.

This definition presented to me doesn't entirely escape Foucault's view of your environment determining what is or isn't a pathology, but when it was taught to me it felt like a reflection of a less socially determined view of mental illness. Mental illness has gained a greater emphasis on helping to improve the personal mental state of the individual irrespective of social expectations. Maybe I am being more idealistic with this thinking.

It would interesting to hear from someone with more professional experience on this since I've only dabbled with a few college classes and books on the subject so my knowledge is quite limited.
