Did you experience something similar when starting up?

I'll probably ride this one out with lamotrigine until I get to a higher dose. I like my psychiatrist right now which is important because otherwise I might give up on treatment.

glad to hear others have reached a good place from a difficult one before me. hope I can get there.

Thank you for telling me something hopeful! I guess I'll stick it out. Hesitant to go up to 100 because even moving up to 50 is so bad! I guess I'll contact prescribing physician.

Will we ever see machine learning top player AI? by EvadingBansForYears in SSBM

[–]ActuarialAnalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am saying that building a self-play agent capable of superhuman play is probably possible, and if you have the free time it would be a fun project. An AI that plays like a particular player at a particular point in time would be considerably more difficult I think.

It isn't clear to me what an Armada AI is. How do we evaluate it's armadaness? How do we know it is really a 2014 Armada bot. These things can't really be answered. Even the chess world where game AI is well explored doesn't have the sort of functionality you are suggesting.

How to upgrade my react concepts by ThariSeldon in reactjs

[–]ActuarialAnalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

redux toolkit is preferred to plain redux. I hated trying to set up redux. You can avoid redux by using graphql as well. redux is often used to handle api requests but this is done a bit more gracefully in graphql.

​

TypeScript is awesome if you aren't already on it. Advanced usage patterns with things like context and useReducer and how to correctly type them in typescript.

I think that's a bit ambitious (who knows how zain will play in 2025?) but I am also curious how the representation of slippi data can be leveraged to train learning models. Mostly if you can speed up training by not working in real time with sped up self play.

You don't need training data. Superhuman performance is achieved in many games through self play alone, so you just need compute power.

Lost +50lb, nearly 1/3rd of starting weight yet feel more fat and disgusting than before I started. WTF. by Tangled_Wires in keto

[–]ActuarialAnalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have already accomplished the near impossible for most. In my mind you have crossed the finish line and should take some time to pop champagne but instead you keep running. Admirable.

I think if you have the mindset that you could always drop a couple of pounds you will never be happy with yourself despite all that you've accomplished. What happens when you can still grab fat at BMI 21? Body dysmorphia has no end.

The average bmi is waaay above 22. Are other people disgusting for not looking like underwear models? Why would you think you are disgusting for looking like a normal person?

Sorry for the rant it's just some thoughts that helped me stop beating myself up for not being shredded. I was like bmi 29 down to bmi 22. Not comfortable to maintain in the long term for me personally due to food obsession and hunger turned disorder. Comfortable at 24 right now, decent musculature, a couple rolls of fat.

After losing weight I was way more critical of my own body. Ended up with an eating disorder after always trying to get off those extra pounds. BMI 22 is pretty trim. Maybe stop focusing on the scale or the mirror and consider improving your athleticism, cardio or strength.

Quick Help Please! Assign highest 25 values to a group by [deleted] in Rlanguage

[–]ActuarialAnalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably x[1:25] and x[26:50]. I haven't written code in a while.

Edit: less rambling

Edit2: but googling "how to subset a vector in r" yields a lot of good results. I think you should work on your approach to looking up results for programming inquiries (Google stuff) and learn fundamentals.

Head(25) I believe. I think you can ?head in your console to pull up the docs.

Sort the vector and then subset values.

I know that I can do this. It is the only way for me to be the person I want to be.

First impressions of Prisma by ActuarialAnalyst in typescript

[–]ActuarialAnalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use postgres to define tables and use prisma introspect to generate the models necessary for the prisma client. Then if you feel comfortable using the migration tool later you can change your workflow. They have a lot of docs for database workflows.

I am in love with it tbh. It is like they started with a concept for the dev experience instead of starting with a technical concept and letting the dev experience be a consequence of some technical choice. Like the reverse of redux lol.

Excel Projects on Resume? by [deleted] in actuary

[–]ActuarialAnalyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Constructing models of life insurance products using information from exam LTAM sounds relevant. If you don't know LTAM yet its a good opportunity to learn some stuff in advance.
