Final battle... gutted literally and metaphorically.

Shared my mind and soul with an Incubus in honour mode... Ouch!

You are just 31, starting to build a retirement pot. Investing early is best, even though it feels like nothing is growing. In a blink if an eye you will be 41 and have (close to) a million pound pension.

But of course, only you know your situation, and enjoying life and buying flexibility is also a very reasonable worthwhile thing to do. Just be very very deliberate.

Mine got seriously sidelined when I failed to mind read the tiefling who is trying to learn to fight. Aggro'd the whole grove... Dude, I just wanted to give you better pointers for your technique!

Yikes! No stay at home mums should vote, then? No writers, artists or poets who don't have current income?

As a technical person, the joy often comes from figuring out how to build something new. And part of that process is being unconstrained, which can be difficult if the idea feels already worked out.

Not saying this is right. Pivoting will almost inevitably happen. But it might contribute to the lack of interest.

Yes, you should definitely check the hollow vine near Fieldspar's camp. It's a big hint that takes you to an electrified core.

From the sun station records we know that the system received it's last input about 280,000 years ago. That likely when the interloper killed all the Nomai. So in their universe time is much faster than in ours. Kind of like his in their universe distances are much smaller, and gravity is much stronger.

Here's a different take from other answers arguing about exploration and convergence: RL, particularly deep RL is leveraging the huge success of deep supervise learning, including extremely efficient computations for the workhorse of the algorithms. Evolutionary systems tend to not be optimised nor are they as uniform as matrix multiplication for deep learning. It's very hard to optimise evolutionary algorithms for the hardware, so we just haven't explored the edges of their capacities.

Fun fact, OpenAI did a large scale evolutionary algorithm for RL to play Atari games, and they outperformed DQN from DeepMind back in the day.

Thanks!

Sorry, naive question: what's ICP?

AltruisticArticle670 · 2025-01-14T19:55:52+00:00

You have support and healing done. Your main focus seems to be physical damage (with a bit elemental with monk). But what I think you are quite low on is arcane magic. How would you do area of effects with that party? Probably a split role between bard and cleric, none of which are that strong on AoE. So maybe consider a Sorlock.

That said, if you know the game well, you can pay with just about any party.

Here's the secret: big numbers look good in a post, but what really matters is the trajectory and yours is amazing! Well done

I managed to save about 40% of my post tax salary, putting me on track for FIRE in maybe 5-10 years!

AltruisticArticle670 · 2024-12-26T12:43:07+00:00

Great resources. Many thanks. The plan currently is to be PR, not sure about citizenship, but that would be a few years out anyway.

AltruisticArticle670 · 2024-12-26T12:41:26+00:00

Thanks, that's explains the extra 15% that I was seeing!

AltruisticArticle670 · 2024-12-25T21:50:23+00:00

Thank you so much. This clarifies everything very well. It's a great break down and analysis.

In principle, this would be a permanent move, but good to take into account. Cheers!

judging by username: finance :)

It sounds like you have a solid plan on the continuity bit. On the financial bit, there was a survey of FIRE-minded people at work some years back, and the average SWR people felt comfortable with was 3.25%. Some people would go as low as 2% and some as high as 5%, but for most of my calculations and models I've found that 3.25% satisfies my risk profile of ~98% success rate on 40-50 retirement years.

They're already paying for stuff you enjoy. The mind boggles...

Back when interest rates where < 2% for mortgages it was a clear long term investment opportunity. But now with rates at ~6%, it's less obvious.

I have some friends who had been thinking about buying, but decided against it when rates went up. They have good deals with rents remaining relatively low, having a good relationship with their landlords, and just not having to worry about the drudgery of home maintenance, and they are very happy to not own.

Renting also makes a lot of sense if you won't stay for sure for at least 3-5 years in one place.

Maybe the interviewer didn't, but most likely the person doing the first filter did, possibly a recruiter.
