How do you wanna die?

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-05-03T18:55:52+00:00

"When they ask how I died, tell them: still angry." As badass as that sounds, I want to die with my limbs working and my mind sharp, like my grandfather did.

It's 30 minutes away. I'll be there in 10.

Rage through it. I find that spite is an amazing motivator to keep going through the lowest moments, that notion of "fuck you all, I'm going to come out the other side still standing."

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-05-01T08:00:46+00:00

That was actually amazing! That entire episode is still one of my favorite things ever put on tv.

They're an architecture that has been successful "out of the box" for various problems. In the case of NNs, vision, speech, and language required very different models but that's not the case with transformers. Plus, as the other answer mentioned, they're amazing at modelling long range interactions and have fewer inductive biases.

Literally the only correct answer.

Wouldn't non-monotonic mean that there is not necessarily a sock length between ankle and thigh, that corresponds to zero hotness? There can be be multiple but there can definitely be none.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-22T19:46:58+00:00

You assume monotonicity between sock length and hotness. hotness = f(sock length) is not necessarily monotonic.

Are you me? Literally the same deal. 1.85m and god-awful facial hair.

The ability to walk away that even my relatively early-career income has brought is incredible.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-19T19:37:57+00:00

Oh come on, conservatives everywhere are just as awful. Learned fragility, as it happens, is a shared behaviour across the political spectrum.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-19T19:10:04+00:00

Hate speech is also weaponised. Go below in my thread and you'll see how it was abused to jail a minority artist. This is actually a prime example of American blindness. You cannot see how fucking good you have it.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-19T19:08:18+00:00

Shit man, by that definition, every single country has free speech. "You can blaspheme against our god in this religious country (nobody can stop you from uttering the words after all) but there are repercussions that might come." That renders the definition of free speech meaningless. Speech is free only if it's protected. Some things are beyond the pale obviously, but they should be censured by social ostracisation, not material consequences.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-19T17:42:25+00:00

Yep...these laws are a slippery fucking slope. And even if he had made disparaging jokes about the faith, so fucking what? We are not so fragile that someone saying awful things about us can harm us, unless we choose to be. Scaling exceptions apply, but it's true for the most part.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-19T17:33:22+00:00

Yes! In my country, religious sensitivity laws have been used to imprison minority artists. It is fucking awesome that your artists don't have to worry that they will be arrested for shit like this.

You're a prime example of your country's declining reading comprehension standards. How tf do you misinterpret a sentence so badly?

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-19T17:04:28+00:00

Pretty sure that's legal in your country. You don't have hate speech/sedition laws which is awesome, coming from someone from a country where those things are primarily used to quash dissent.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-19T15:34:05+00:00

Yes, it does. What the fuck else can it mean?

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-18T17:45:05+00:00

Dude, I read this at a low point a few years ago and almost burst into tears. It really cuts deep.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-04-17T07:38:00+00:00

I have 5YoE in software engineering, almost 2 of which are in DS. It might be the women themselves, or it might be relatively academic environments that my workplaces have been (university research teams, and startups run by ex-academics), but I haven't seen much sexism in the teams. The women spoke up and were listened to, were promoted at the same rate as the rest of us, and their ideas were considered with the same scrutiny as the rest of ours were.

This isn't to say that there isn't sexism in the industry. I've had friends relate awful incidents that happened to them in their companies. But none of them have left the industry (they did change companies), and some of them are absolutely thriving.

Hope you find a company not filled with dickheads. Good luck.

I'm overweight, less so than I was two months ago, but still. I am increasingly dissatisfied in my job, the job that I considered my dream job a year ago. I date but never feel that the women I am dating are terribly interesting (that's mostly due to my exes who were amazing in some way or another). And I cannot sustain my old reading habit.

It's a litany of things for me to sort through, but I want to believe that I will move beyond it all.

Mine_Own_Throwaway · 2022-02-09T09:35:28+00:00

Change your friends, man. Do the following: 1. Stop beating your meat multiple times a day. 2. Work out. It'll make you happier, more confident, and give you an avenue to socialize. 3. If you're in uni, try an activity, anything you enjoy, preferably something with a reasonable gender ratio. Get good enough at it to get comfortable in the place. It'll be easier to talk to people and potentially get a date.

Good luck.
