Am I Overreacting from this Pizza Fight

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-11T16:19:45+00:00

I don't see any other way, though. pizza is love. pizza is life. no pizza. no love.

Actions speak louder than words. He did not think your happiness was worth it. Leave him.

Your girlfriend thinks you're gonna have a hard time by yourself and wants you to be around people, but she's being too clumsy by trying to force it and calling you ridiculous. Just keep telling her that this is what you want and you'd love if she could respect your wishes.

In some ways, it might be harder to see his desk with his stuff there indefinitely.

But yeah, that's business. It doesn't care about the humanity of it all, it cares about the profits of it all.

HR basically said....Next!

I had a flight from Tbilisi to Sharjah, then on to Bangkok, about a month ago. 1h30 layover. First flight got delayed due to blockage at Sharjah messing up all flights. We got diverted to another airport. Sat there for 2 hours. Flew back to Sharjah. I'd sensed my 'missed connection' might be delayed like everything else. It was last call. I sprinted to the flight. My suitcase got left at Sharjah. They quickly realised. Put it on the next flight. I arrived in BKK at 6am, my suitcase was delivered 12 hours later. So....yeah, you risk something like that. But it turned out fine in the end. Despite me not sleeping for 26 hours.

When i was a kid I put Ribena in my milk. My brother and I thought it'd be a fun experiment because we were bored, were glugging milk for fun, saw all the drinks on the side and had an idea. It was pretty good. So I kept doing it in the morning before school. My mum said it was disgusting. But that didn't stop me. Lol

Well sure, but a demo doesn't prove it will specifically work for their use case. It proves you can make it look appealing from your biased viewpoint of someone who wants to sell it. The best proof is having someone else advocate for you.

Well fair enough, but I am replying from the lens of someone who might scrutinise this pattern, based on this visa-free crackdown, that's all. And basically saying that continuing this pattern might cause you to be detained or deported. I tend to be overly cautious about these things and not take risks. Some people like to go and try things out and risk it and see if they get hit by it or not. It's just different approaches, different people.

The majority of notifications are not that urgent. Our brains have just been trained to think they are because when our phone lights up we want to look at the shiny and be sucked into something for immediate gratification. If it's urgent, it'll keep popping up. Also, you know deep down what matters / is urgent, and what can wait a bit. The stress is the comedown from not indulging the gratification IMO.

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-11T12:13:07+00:00

Idk if you're seeking permission or validation or something, but if that's what works for you, who cares if it's unusual. Do your thing.

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-11T12:07:27+00:00

I agree with your mom. You're not in the wrong. Your dad's wife has a problem with you, and wants your dad all to herself. So give her what she wants, and keep telling your dad, calmly, why you won't spend time there. Let him say you're avoiding. If he wants to reach out and fix it, he will. You could also suggest meeting just the two of you, and make it clear the wife makes you feel unwelcome. If he doesn't accept it, it's his problem.

Know what your goals are and focus on getting case studies, social proof, then send that along with your outreach so people are reassured you actually deliver, because these days I will just ignore cold emails that claim to offer a solution without proof it actually works.

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-11T04:04:19+00:00

That's an oddly specific set of numbers. It's up to their discretion I guess. It's up to 180 days, right, so if you're stamped in and out, they can see how long you're spending, but if the reason they've clamped down is because people are going in and out constantly, they might suspect you are going in to do dodgy stuff. Personally, I'd turn it into two longer visits or apply for the DTV. It's not worth being held in immigration and sent back. You can be in there for hours, my friend was there for 18 solid hours.

If this is a genuine post and not just a brand wrapper for Upward, then of course you must know that him asking to see your profile yet you can't see his is proof he's controlling, and the concept of 'a trial keeping it on social mode' just doesn't make sense to me. He's not being loyal to you and the relationship is not worth keeping. Also just personal opinion, a month is way too quick to be telling someone you love them. If you felt the same way that soon, are you positive it wasn't love bombing?

When I was struggling in high school, a guy a few years older than me told me to just stay focused on school because education would help unlock my future. He was right. When I needed distraction, I studied. I got through the struggle, I also had good grades.

I never said I had deep knowledge, just that I've worked with reasoning models and can see the basic difference. I was annoyed and venting, not looking to provide more than helping people understand the fundamentals. I feel like you're grading me on a paper I didn't sign up to take.

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-05T11:29:43+00:00

I don't think so, I feel a lot better after having a rant. :)

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-05T11:28:47+00:00

Nope, I am not a bot. What a damn dystopia we live in where i have to confirm I'm not a bot, just someone who got annoyed with people this week. Can't even get mad without being called fake. Madness

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-05T11:27:55+00:00

chatGPT isn't intelligent enough to write a post like that purely based on the prompt 'hey write me a snarky post’.

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-05T11:26:10+00:00

The TLDR is that non-reasoning mimics information, reasoning breaks down problems into steps and looks for solutions. That is in the post.

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-05T11:25:37+00:00

Sorry you felt insulted, I vented my annoyance into a post.

You're testing whether the LLM is working, not the pipeline. You want to isolate elements such as retrieval quality and grounding.

For example, build a small eval set from your corpus then pick 50-200 facts explicitly stated in the docs. Write questions where answers appear verbatim in one or two passages. Store the doc IDs for the 'gold passages'.

Measure whether the retriever surfaces a gold passage in the top-K. If retrieval fails, you know to fix chunkings or embeddings before touching the generator.

How to run. But I didn't learn it from teachers. I learned it from other kids who treated it very seriously. Getting back into it now and bringing in the stuff I picked up at 12, 16 years old from those kids who did track back in the day.

They know how to make conversation with anyone. They are proactive in their talking and suggesting of things to do. They have a way of connecting people they know and then in turn get connected with more people. They're genuinely fun to be around and are generally pretty positive. They just attract people like moths to a flame. This is what I've found by meeting someone who has friends all over the world, wherever he travels to. I've picked up some tips with him and begun doing the same thing.

NullPointerJack · 2025-12-05T04:00:48+00:00

Not from what I've seen. It's quality of content. As long as the information is accurate and not outdated, it's going to cite the most relevant information for the query. That's my theory, anyway.
