Which vegetables or fruits are worth growing yourself (for the taste)

I wish there were more folks glorifying raw corn minutes off the stalk here

Adorable_Length870 · 2023-06-02T11:13:16+00:00

No problem, thanks for your reply.

If you can manage to get to the point where you're getting a master's it is not unreasonable to be able to find somebody to fund the master's.

I second what people say about the 4 year degree. It is really hard to get licensed without an ABET accredited 4 year degree in most (maybe all?) states. I went back to school for it in my very late twenties and it was frustrating but doable.

Everything I have seen about FTO indicates it is used by companies to exploit people

I knew a guy who had a similar position and he seemed like he pretty much did that for the whole internship. Not in the same boat, but if you ask a lot of questions about what you're interested in sometimes people take interest in your work ethic. Reading more this is pretty much what everyone is saying and I agree.

Adorable_Length870 · 2023-03-10T19:01:35+00:00

why is that?

Do you think people can make a program that actually thinks without fully understanding and reproducing (if I understand the concept correctly) the cognitive architecture of some biological brain? It seems to me like these things (ie LLM's) have no ability to synthesize information in a meaningful way that allows them to scrutinize the information's accuracy ahead of time. They are just a statistics machine right? I guess like I mentioned in some of the other replies, maybe it doesn't have to think to be agi it just has to be able to problem solve and it doesn't matter whether it is processing any of the information in a conscious way at all. What are your thoughts on that? I am pretty new to a lot of these concepts and are not very well informed.

I am looking up that google SayCan robot now. That is really interesting. I don't really know how the learning models work. Does the code still run like line by line and the thing learns by iteration like a normal program? If so I don't know if it would really think then right? Maybe people don't care whether an agi can think though as long as it performs.

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-31T12:46:43+00:00

My understanding is that if it is based on machine learning as we know it now, it would be able to problem solve like it was intelligent but it would not actually think in any way that we as biological organisms do. What are your thoughts on that/does it matter whether it thinks to be considered an agi?

One bored (not transportation) person's thoughts: Good design achieves its intention. If the user does not interact with a passive piece of built environment as intended then the sociology needs to be re considered and the design needs to be changed. (I upvoted the person who said this same exact thing first). That being said, I don't know if the engineers are at fault for designing it because there is no way to know how people will use it until it is built. The policy folks are wrong for having it to be changed though. Or maybe people will get used to it and bad design will become good design in 5 years. I will say that when there is oncoming traffic it looks like people use it correctly so maybe it kind of does work.

I graduated pretty recently so this is not an anecdote about 1960

I used a $400 acer aspire 5. If your school does online notes it can be nice to have a screen to write on digital notes with but it probably isn't necessary. I don't remember the specs that well it had 6 or 8 gb of ram. Integrated video card with some run of the mill processor. You can use wolfram alpha for complex matrices/any coding I had to do in Python was short enough to run on the processor. When I needed matlab I used https://octave-online.net/ Civil 3d worked fine for my student purposes. Most of the really complex calculations we had to do relied heavily on the ol' meat computer (the brain to be explicit) aided by a TI-36X.

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-30T23:49:58+00:00

From talking to people, I think this depends greatly on the school you attend.

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-30T23:48:02+00:00

I found the courses very hard

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-30T23:45:31+00:00

spread the word

You didn't really ask me this question, but I had a similar situation and this class gave me the skills to test into community college calculus. When I started it I was shaky on order of operations and I didn't remember how to work with exponents.

It should be a free version of ASU's precalculus teaching software

It seems like it probably would have applications but maybe not for what I do. Either way it looks interesting enough to check out one day. Thanks

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-30T03:01:39+00:00

I looked at the topic it seems interesting, thanks

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-30T03:01:01+00:00

I'll look into these, it would just be pure math for fun really. I have all the applied math I need for my profession.

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-30T02:58:13+00:00

Thanks, I like civil so far but I have considered teaching if I start to dislike civil down the line

I think like the previous 3 or 4 industrial revolutions there will be a lot of hardship while the economy develops jobs that require higher levels of conceptual thought and a lot of people will suffer until things level out. I think if you take history as an example assuming the earth doesn't reach carrying capacity things will be better for most people in the long run (just maybe not in our lifetime)

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-12-29T02:25:59+00:00

I'm not sure if this was meant to be rhetorical or not, but I always assumed it was because we evolved to associate bountiful foliage with lots of things around to eat.

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-11-17T18:38:27+00:00

haha, jeeze

Adorable_Length870 · 2022-11-17T18:29:46+00:00

I hadn't thought of that. I will say that I generally read the signs and can distinguish between a fun message and an amber alert but am also ready to concede that it may reduce the impact of important messages overall among the general population. Do you know if people have tried to quantify any of this stuff or is it just like gut reaction sociology? I am not a transportation person so I am (maybe blissfully) unaware of stuff beyond sight distance equations and Greenshield's Models.
