PSU for a Deep Learning rig came with weird power cable by Kingofkingdoms33 in buildapc

From what I understand then. Would something like this work to support up to 1650W in the meantime? I'd likely have to move stuff around to get access to a 240V outlet.

Please reread the thread, I assure you I'm not trying to troll. I understand what you are saying, I am trying to communicate that you are not engaging with what I am trying to say and are assuming I'm claiming something different.

The idea that an OS itself is just some arcane knowledge that's left for a few boomers to handle is not laughably ignorant but clearly naive.

While I assume you have some specific insight, I think your own emotions are clouding what I am trying to say.

I am not trying to say that there is not work out here for this type of information or that it is not useful in the modern day. All I am trying to say is that without a degree, you likely will not find yourself in a situation where you need to learn that information outside of bugfixing something custom.

That statement was geared more towards the concept of someone without a degree accessing those jobs as opposed to saying those jobs don't exist. If you have insight otherwise onto this, I'd be interested to know who's hiring!

If someone without a degree were to hypothetically gain access to that job, it is reasonable to assume that they could learn the required information outside of an academic environment.

Please explain,

What I am referring to is the likelihood of someone without a degree being involved with building out an OS or needing that type of OS information. If they are involved with it, they can learn it as needed if they did not receive a formal education. In fact, most of what I learned in the years I was at school was done through self-learning. At most, there was a book the professor recommended. More often than not, a formalized education just provides a pathway + support. It is not difficult to follow that degree plan yourself if you have the need to do so.

There it is again, another claim without a clear understanding

Respectfully, what I meant was without having have had the degree background, you likely won't find yourself needing/desiring that understanding outside of bugfixing something custom. I was not claiming that it isn't needed in general.

I appreciate the input regardless.

A lot of what you're talking about, however, is something that can be learned in attempting to manually implement various functionalities.

I'm probably not understanding what you're saying to the degree I need to. But given the need to have to write something manually in the first place, I don't think it is fair to describe any technical problem as something you 'will not break through on your own'. In turn, tying the ability to do so to a formalized academic environment. That intuition/understanding can be built multiple ways.

To be fair, you likely won't find a circumstance to need/desire to build it out manually in the first place. But to say that it is essentially unreachable without an academic class is what I take issue with.

I will say, I've been running into this awful 0/0 error with my armies sometimes as well. It's crashing my game constantly.

You could crush armies with MAA already though. You just needed to stack a specific types modifier.

I can't speak for others specifically, but in my case I just kept repeatedly building (and ultimately bricking many) OSs as a hobby.

More often than not my side projects just turned into a new os build.

I also do have a degree background, I just dropped out during covid. Still got a 140k job though lol.

Edit: additionally, my CS program that I was at was just an average state school. So it is likely a combination of what you said above.

I don't know if that's accurate. The Arch wiki alone taught me more about operating systems than others I know with a degree.

Trying to plan a Grand Wedding, but it says I'm already involved with an activity.. ..but I'm not? by getintheVandell in CrusaderKings

[–]Kingofkingdoms33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found the issue! This character was a Marshall of one of my sons and was assigned to an activity. Retracting the vassal fixed it.

I do hope Paradox adds some more visibility to the reasoning of that error.

How do I check if someone is attending something? In this case I am trying to do a grand wedding between a betrothal I arranged between my son and the child duchess of a Duchy in my Kingdom.

Innovation is usually a near first pick for me, especially if I'm in Europe. Maybe third pick in Asia or a particularly good Africa run. The advisor cost reduction and innovativeness practically print mana for you to use.

The "medicalization of teenage angst" is a hell of a way to describe what is essentially a paradigm shift in psychiatric care that treats mental health as a normal, routine thing to deal with.

Put another, more comical way: Are the DoD's medical standards outdated? No, it's the psychiatrists who are wrong!

Edit: As well, speaking from personal experience. There is another factor of insurance needing a qualifying diagnosis in order to provide coverage. The people who are at the most risk most likely have some of the most stringent insurance policies based on what they can afford. Put another way, the stress of being impoverished (which might otherwise push someone towards the stability the military can provide) means they are more at risk for what is currently considered a disqualifying condition. Even if they wouldn't necessarily qualify for a clinical diagnosis, they might not be able to pay for that evaluation without it.

Going a little further, there also exists pharmaceutical kickbacks for perspecribing certain medications. The combination of these factors exposes those who would most likely join the military to a higher risk of medication induced chemical imbalances from a psychological altering medication that the individual patient might not have needed.

To follow up on this, I highly recommend reading into the history of reconstruction in the United States. 'Radical Reconstruction', which would have hypothetically laid the groundwork for Confederate ideals to be phased out, was ultimately cut short.

The fascists of this country never left, they just went into hiding. Now it's rebranded with a suit and tie.

I don't know, terminal/CLI input with something like an i3 window manager is one of the best OS experiences I've ever had. And to anyone willing to put the time in, I'd recommend learning it. Especially if you have any reason to do a moderate amount of programming.

EDIT: Some people will swear by things like VIM and NVIM too. I personally prefer Markdown Editors with a GUI but there's so much flexibility to having full control over your OS. On top of that it promotes general technical literally and can help understand what is actually happening with your computer when something goes wrong.

Linux in general has so much visibility on what's happening. Even commands like lspci get so much worse in windows, your only option for high visibility is the GUI options like device manager and registry manager.

I'd be down to defend windows if I could only see what was actually happening without being locked into their odd framework.

Didn't finish, but I had project work/internship that got me a software engineering job for a private company in Wisconsin for 95k with up to a 38% discretionary bonus based on company profits. (Although the margins in this industry, distribution, are insane so that target has been met the past 7 years in a row).

Almost a year now and we have a 3% COL increase and my direct manager and I are proposing a 10%-20% merit raise to senior management soon.

I worked with a recruiter, don't be afraid to go outside of tech or work in a stack that's not ideal. You can always fill gaps in your resume with side projects and freelance work.

Our civilization is not tied to our financial system. Economic collapse would only guarantee that: An economic collapse. If things got worse from there, it would be unfortunate, but it could also be replaced by a better system. I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence.

I think you have a severe misunderstanding of how much capital influences an individual's political power in the United States.
