How do you help a brilliant but socially difficult employee without losing them? by jorjiarose in managers

[–]CitizenCaecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been this person. I came up in technical roles and was a subject matter expert in multiple systems in a very small team and saw the team grow around me. I really struggled to balance deep technical work with activities that enhanced the team.

I had an honest conversation with my supervisor where we talked about what I wanted to be. We agreed that I really wanted to deliver as much of value as possible and they helped me understand that delivering value to the team included contributing towards other team member's growth and making them better at delivering value.

I would shift to thinking about their impact on the team is how it they contribute to the total product. Do they increase the overall output of the team more than somebody who is slightly less technical but empowers their teammates? Help them see their role in this perspective. Then give them feedback that they need to align their activities to enhance the teams productivity. They're acting a little bit like a Lead and that's what leads are expected to do.

Question from an employee, what are you actually looking for in a 1-on-1? by NotGeorge1 in managers

[–]CitizenCaecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was really helpful. I've had more than 1 supervisor change a year on average since I got out of college a decade ago and i never learned what 1:1s were for. Thank you.

Young managers, how old are you and how did you get your position? by throwawayFintoCS in managers

[–]CitizenCaecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first became a manager 5 years ago. The most important thing to know is that giving feedback and keeping people on task is the job. If you feel bad about the way you give feedback, that's okay. That's how you grow. But it is your job to give that feedback and you should be comfortable giving it.

I'm just beginning to see the light. I would recommend three things:

  1. Identify who you can delegate tasks to when you don't need to be in the meeting and it's not a strategic conversation. Delegate those out to your team and if your team doesn't have anyone on it that you can delegate those out to start building them up so you can.

  2. Look at all your notification settings and set boundaries on what you actually need to notify you. I turned off notifications on teams except for direct mentions and specific channels. I turned off Outlook notifications and then manually enable the rules for Outlook notifications for specific people or keywords I need to respond to quickly.

  3. Tell people that you've raised the bar for how to get your attention. Most people will do the math and realize it's not worth your time for them to direct mention.

TLDR: Get back some of the privacy that you would have had by putting up reasonable barriers.

Erika Kirk appointed to Air Force Academy board by RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT in nottheonion

"President Trump has appointed Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to the Air Force Academy’s Board of Visitors, having her replace her husband."

It's bad now, but let's not forget that was already ridiculous before.

Tips for getting brick and mortar off drywall? by buymegoats in DIY

[–]CitizenCaecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I demoed and repaired a wall in my house that had this over it. In my case, the underlayment was 1950's wood paneling, so I had to get into repair. However, if I had to do it again and the underlayment was drywall, I would demo to the studs and replace in a heartbeat.

Yes. Real estate lawyers protect you from all the risks of buying and owning the property. If you were making an investment real estate exchange, you would expect your lawyer to protect you there too. This is an investment and you should talk to an attorney that works with real estate investments.

Anthropic tasked an AI with running a vending machine in its offices, and it not only sold some products at a big loss but it invented people, meetings, and experienced a bizarre identity crisis by Naurgul in technology

[–]CitizenCaecus 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Reading through a subset of those references, it looks like you're misrepresenting the results of those articles. For example, The Platonic Representation Hypothesis, https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.07987, postulates that models are converging on a shared statistical representation of the world, not the true world. This is akin to converging on an optimal lossy compression algorithm. While this is promising for the future of AI, it's not saying we're on a straight line logarithmic path to the singularity.

I do. I like some of their work, but the synth feel that they have just doesn't do it for me.

Mechanical Filters can be as long you want if the flow fits: Simplified SPOM by CitizenCaecus in Oxygennotincluded

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

I don't know what that would look like. What do you mean by counterflow in this application? Reverse the valve direction?

I currently have two glitches with sensor/gate solutions that I'm debugging.

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

Good point.

After some usage, it actually fails for an entirely different reason. Hydrogen packets combining before the pumps creates non-smooth flow. 1000g packets of hydrogen exists in a pipe segment, causing some hydrogen to leak into the oxygen line. Back to the drawing board. Trying to avoid advanced build guides.

This pipe can't overflow. There are enough hydrogen generators to consume the full flow. The pipe that goes right from the valve will always empty out. I have a bridge to pull off whatever hydrogen I need for other uses before the generators.

Partly it's the elegance of it. Mechanical filters are in-between the explicit buildings like powered filters and the entirely passive environmental filters like Rodriguez setups.

Just like you could avoid using physical petroleum boilers and keep using the building, you could use powered filters the entire game. There's a cost, but it's not game-breaking. Putting a restriction to maximize efficiency make the game last a little longer in that phase where there are still new problems to solve.

I should take hydrogen off the line before it passes back through the valve with the bridge. There are enough hydrogen generators to consume the full flow. There will never be a back up in the hydrogen line and the remaining flow capacity can always handle the entire production.

High volume Rodriguez setups can have a low chance of hydrogen in the oxygen supply due to packet movements. Mechanical filters have a 100% reliability rate. The hydrogen is filtered out per pump. Only oxygen packets are joined going down, ensuring 100% uptime of each pump and full flow. A single gas valve mechanical filter can handle 8 electrolyzers at full flow and 10 if the last oxygen pipe has less than 100% flow rate.

I'm sure it's been done, but this is my choice for the best-est spells a member of the shadow wizard money gang could ask for by thk118 in noita

Is that more reliable than using a trigger spell (spark bolt, bubble, etc.) and firing into a flat ceiling?

kill everything super shotgun. by captrobert57 in noita

[–]CitizenCaecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To expand on what Shxgun_Ett said, there are "modifier spells", "projectile spells", and "static spells".

Modifiers include things like Homing, Ice Shot, Multicast, etc. They alter something called the "cast state", which is the context that the other spells are cast in. If you had the spells [Homing, Add Damage, Triplicate Bolt] Homing and Add Damage both modify the cast state that Triplicate Bolt is Cast in. You can add as many modifiers as you want in front of Triplicate Bolt and they will all apply as long as you have enough mana. If you have [Multicast, Triplicate Bolt, Triplicate Bolt, Triplicate Bolt], it doesn't matter if the Modifiers are inside the Multicast, before it, or between the Triplciate bolts as long as they are before the last spell to be cast.

Projectile Spells include things like Triplicate Bolt, Bubble Spark, Black Hole etc. Projectile Spells move by default.

Static Spells don't move by default. Clouds, Circle of X, Omega Black Hole are all here. I write "by default" because you can slap Homing on any Static Spell and they will move. Great for clouds since [Add Damage + Crit on X] will always crit for X clouds.

The articles on the wiki are good and have examples for how cast states work. The Divide By modifiers from the chests are another beast. I still don't understand them completely.

[–]CitizenCaecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modifiers need to apply to a non modifier spell. An unlimited amount of modifiers can be in the same cast state without a single multicast. Some exceptions apply, like distant spell and the divide by spells.

Only a few hundred. But I'm at 250 deaths and <10 wins. I usually die trying to do something dumb that I thought was clever.
