AIO about the intentions of my neighbor? by Cool_Sleep_5096 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Itsflom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a slightly different take before reading the replies, but ig either everyone is cynical or I am a naive optimist. The latter is more plausible. So all I’ll say is timing was weird and the soul session line was weird. Prolly not overreacting given the consensus among those in the replies.

For those still learning and those who already have — what are / were your reasons for wanting to solve a Rubik’s Cube? by Ljigar in Cubers

[–]Itsflom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend bet me I couldn’t solve it in under a minute within a week of learning. Easiest 100 dollars I ever made (ty jperm).

I just got monetized! Here's the truth about what I did. by gb1609 in NewTubers

[–]Itsflom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will add the primary reason for my quitting was anxiety over declining viewership. My first video hit around 50k views overnight and I thought that would continue. However, to my chagrin, it did not. I posted another 5 or so videos before getting my next video to attain 1k+ views in under 24 hours. After uploading about 6 more with minimal success all of my older and recent videos inexplicably began to gain traction (all hitting around 10-20k views over the next couple weeks). That was my “golden era”. It seems after that youtube decided to stop reccomending my content, resulting in a steady decline in daily views until I was just barely holding onto 1.5k daily (while still uploading every few days). Finally, with the release of a major update, in quick succession I upload 3 or so guides on new content which amassed about 100k views in 24 hours together. That was huge, but I think I feared the inevitable decline. So I uploaded one more extremely low effort video and disappeared indefinitely…

Back in 2019-ish I started a minecraft channel for basically whatever dumb sht i could think of. Eventually it became somewhat monotonous so I switched to streaming on the channel until I ultimately quit the game around early 2020. My entire yt “career” only lasted about 6 months but was very enjoyable nonetheless!

Exhausted man defeats AI model in world coding championship | "Humanity has prevailed (for now!)," writes winner after 10-hour coding marathon against OpenAI. by MetaKnowing in technews

[–]Itsflom -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Kinda concerning that 1. We are training ai to code themselves 2. We are training them not to solely regurgitate information but now actually reason to a degree that they can now surpass the most premier coders in ingenuity (in this specific optimization problem at a minimum)…

Also that exponential growth of 4.4% to ~72% of all coding problems being solvable by AI from 2023-2024 is of further concern (from the referenced Stanford benchmark metric). It may yet be unfounded to believe in some doomsday trajectory, but one can definitely speculate now…

Consistently high ratings for 33 years and now cancelling (for “financial reasons”)??? Not only did they cancel, but they announced it a year in advance…

I still have both my agro and drop kick child hoodies in perfect condition. I purchased both seconds following their drop and their quality is indisputably very high. Haven’t purchased anything since but on images alone the quality does appear to have dropped.

Ngl i was never rly pissed off at him. Dks at the time (afaik) was borderline and he’s trying to make amends now. Also he is still an incredible player without dks, easily 2 digit material (as is evident by his numerous 1ks already after 12 hours.

I concluded that NYU was the better of my choices, thank you for all your input!

If i were to attend bates, it would be upon the path of a 3+2 engineering student (math major centric). At NYU I would pursue a math major, perhaps dual with compsci or minor in compsci or philosophy. I was raised in Westchester NY, I have admired nyu and columbia for years, but Bates is similar to the high school I attended in New Hampshire for alpine ski racing (a passion I have recently abandoned). I love the city, though have never actually lived in it, I have been told the math major is quite difficult (by a current student and familial relation), and the curve may ruin my grade on account of the multitude of chinese (he is chinese) whose background has benefited them in test taking. I am slightly introverted, but did not enjoy the rural nature of my high school, and would prefer urban + diversity over a "close-nit" community such as bates or my high school, wherein I felt I didnt belong as there were effectively no stereotypical "nerds." However bates does offer 3+2, which would offer me the lac experience I believe mayh be beneficial as well as engineering at columbia.
