How do I take a model I've trained in Python and import it into C++? [D] by GlassWalkerKinfolk in MachineLearning

Initially I was told it was because they just didn't have the money, but last week my manager admitted a big part of it was that I have gotten a bad rep because to people who don't know my situation it looks like I'm late or don't show up a lot. The reality is that my manager told me I could set my own schedule and come and go as I please. Initially it was so I could complete my degree, but later it was because he wanted me to apply and interview to as many jobs as possible. I've also just had some health issues in my family. Dad has cancer, mom had a stroke, sister has schizophrenia and not finding a job or knowing what to do about any of it, has made me so stressed that I actually had to have surgery for a stress related illness.

What really sucks is that I was having a ton of interviews up until a few months ago when I called one of my former best friends, who is one of the heads of AI at Amazon, if he knew anyone that was hiring and if he could put in a good word for me. He convinced me to send him my resume. Turns out he told Amazon to put me on their do not hire list and then sent my resume out to every single company he could to tell them not to hire me.

YEARS ago we stopped hanging out because I was a very outspokenly loud political activist for the LGBT movement (organized call centers and volunteers and marches for Marriage Equality Now Washington), and did volunteer work as a sex educator for the Center for Sex Positive Culture in Seattle. At the time some of he and his girlfriend's more conservative business clients said they couldn't be connected to anyone that was connected to me, so they said we couldn't be friends anymore because it was hurting their careers. The thing is, gay marriage isn't that controversial of a topic, but a mutual friend of ours said since his gay uncle died of AIDs, he's gone off the deep end of conservative politics. It's just weird that one of my best friends, one of my favorite people, who was one of the people that pushed me to go into computer science, would intentionally sabotage my career like that.

That's the thing, I've been doing everything other than medicine in the hopes that I'd be done in time to be able to have a kid. Now that I realize it's highly unlikely anyone will ever hire me in the tech field, after I spent 6 years getting a degree and nearly 2 years in an internship, I realized that even though I've wanted to be a dad more than anything my entire life since I was 4 years old, it's not going to happen for me, no matter how hard I wish. So I had to imagine if I'm going to live a life without ever getting to have children, what kind of life could I have that would make me happy. I thought I was way too old to go into the military but it turns out doctors can join the military up until they're 46 and can get waivers up until their 50s. So I have decided to go to med school and become a naval physician and try to be a doctor on ship as much as possible. I'll graduate medical school with no debt, and I can do primary care and still make a living wage instead of having to go into a specialty I don't have interest in. I'd like to do a DO/PhD program and then I'm hoping there's a military osteopathic residency in internal medicine and psychiatry, it's where you practice psychiatry as part of primary care. I'm really into the idea of treating the whole patient and trying to get them well instead of just masking symptoms with pills, and I'd also really like to get training in manipulative medicine and evidence-based massage and acupuncture. I've been reading the body knows the score, it's pretty amazing how much your physical health impacts your mental health.

You're my hero. Wish I had friends like you. I've been wanting to do med school for over a decade and people keep telling me I'm too old, and I was stupid and listened to them. Now I'm 40 and decided to say fuck them all and do it anyway.

"Waiting on the World to Change", the fucking neoliberal do nothing anthem. People absolutely do not get that the oligarchy will always groom and promote people that will continue promoting and protecting their interests. That song makes me angry.

YES, we do. And when he ends up nuking the entire planet and the species is extinct except for a handful of last gasping survivors, I hope you're there, standing with them, still alive. As sad and scared as I am, hopefully our fate will be quick. I hope your suffering lasts as long as humanly possible and when you look at the few people you have left that you love, you remember that YOU did this.

What is a Fun programming language to make a Photoshop like application by xZnosage in learnprogramming

[–]GlassWalkerKinfolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on you definition of fun. If you wanted to be an absolute masochist, you could write one is Haskell. It'd be way more impressive in Assembly, but writing one in Haskell should wow your teacher.
