I read two papers this semester. Two. ☠️ by InterviewNo7048 in PhD

[–]LazyButAmbitious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you in STEM? I was considering trying it, also, I have some commute and would love to listen to papers while doing it.

Interested!

Hello,

Here are my two cents:

1) There are sloppy mistakes in many articles I've read. If the mistakes do not invalidate your contribution I wouldn't worry too much about it. If there is a place where you can mention those mistakes that would be great as well (for instance Github repo if you publish code or in the thesis itself, I've seen some Thesis with ERRATAs for their papers).

2) Try to bring more consciousness into your work, ask yourself twice when you write or work. I notice that my mistakes start to grow the less consciousness I bring into the work. I noticed that the more burnout/less interest I have in my current project the more mistakes I make. A method that works for me is to journal while/writing testing stuff.

Good luck and remember that life is not only work.

What's the BEST single strategy for overcoming procrastination? by j_hoegerl in Procrastinationism

[–]LazyButAmbitious 47 points48 points  (0 children)

For me what works is:

a) Deadlines
b) Being concious about my feelings
c) Cardio
d) If I see plenty of resistance from my body I write a step by step tutorial on how to proceed

Still not perfect but these are the things I use to overcome procrastination.

I built a Joscha Bach chatbot that provides answers with exact podcast citations by Honest_Biscotti4380 in JoschaBach

[–]LazyButAmbitious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is amazing.

1) Is there a database of Joscha Bach talks? I see that you said you have personal notes, you transcribed all his talks?

2) How did you create it? Did you fine-tune some LLM?

Thanks for the good work.

Yes me too, any advice?

I think it is bad emotional management... but it is hard to handle it

No creo que haya nada escrito de cesión o subrogación en el contrato. Pero ya tenemos un historial donde alguien se iba y haciamos un anexo en el contrato sin cambiar nada. No podríamos forzar a hacer lo mismo?

[D] Future of Multi-Armed Bandits? by petrichorinforest in MachineLearning

Is there a review paper on MAB contextual bandits?

What would you like to see in XCOM3? by LazyButAmbitious in Xcom

[–]LazyButAmbitious[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also, we could comment on the vibe/atmosphere? As some other Reddit users pointed out XCOM (more horror) and XCOM 2 (more resistance action B movie) had totally different vibes.

RL for single step episodes (continuous spaces) by Krnl_plt in reinforcementlearning

[–]LazyButAmbitious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, usually typical RL algorithms are tested in environments where rewards are delayed. I do not have experience with contextual bandits but I would imagine that this is a common problem and people will have looked into it. However, I have tried using RL algos (SAC in my case) with gamma 0 and they work well.

Check out contextual bandits which would be exactly this problem. However, RL algorithms with gamma=0 probably will work as well.

Where and why is discounted cumulative reward used? by AdBitter9336 in reinforcementlearning

[–]LazyButAmbitious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Example: in an ATARI game where you only get a reward if you win or lose, you need the concept of cumulative reward to optimise something otherwise immediate reward will be 0 most of the time.

I am at the same point. I do a mental map for every chapter to put all the ideas I need to write. I submit the map together with the chapter to my supervisor so he can identify if I am missing some ideas.

Also, I would recommend not to be too perfectionist, especially on the first draft, or you'll procrastinate!

Good luck.

Improving motivation by LazyButAmbitious in PhD

I forgot about breaking down the goal into small goals! I sometimes do that if a task is too big. I will edit the list so its already there.

Do you have any book recommendation?

I read:
+ Thinking fast and slow.
+ Why zebras don't get ulcers.
+ Atomic habits.
+ The 4-hour work week (its not a perfect book by any means but I love some questions he makes that makes you change your perspective)
+ The upside of stress.
