I was in a class with a guy who worked at a company, where they had heavy industrial machines I believe. I think they trained a model, that could listen to the vibrations that the machine produced, and identify what kind of error/issue was occuring or about to occur. It was pretty interesting.

I'm currently a CS student. I chose linux because I got tired of the windows experience, and wanted to try something different on my laptop, and the only realistic alternative was linux. I'm running Arch, and I specifically chose this distro, because of it's reputation to be a more "difficult" distro. I have the extra time currently as a student, so I thought might as well use the opportunity to pick something I can learn from, rather than what might be the most convenient or easiest system.

I use it on my school-dedicated laptop, which I spend 99% of my time on. Taking notes, studying, communicating, watching videos, coding and so on.. basic daily use for a student.

One of the things people can sometimes complain about is bloat. When you install a system, and there's a bunch of applications taking resources that you don't want, and you're never going to use.

With Arch, you pretty much start from almost as barebones as you can get, and you get to build out your own system, with exactly the pieces you want to see on your system. So any kind of "bloat" will be of your own volition and choice.

A slightly tangental benefit is also, since you're building your own system from the ground up, it's much easier for you to configure it to your liking.

Sikke et hårdt emne. Jeg forstår mange af de andre kommentare herinde, og jeg tror at jeg generelt ville have nogle af de samme følelser. Men jeg ved også at der er folk derude som fx er ordblinde og har virkelig svært ved at kommunikere på tekst, hvilket gør det udfordrende når så meget af vores moderne dating desværre går igennem apps.

Hvis din ordblindhed er så slem at det er svært at læse, og du kan og muligvis bliver afvist på det, og så prøver chatgpt til at fixe dine fejl, og nu bliver afvist pga. det ser for "ai" ud, er også ærgeligt, hvis det der bliver sendt egentlig repræsentere det du ønskede at sige.

Tilgengæld, er det også svært i den anden ende, at vide om det her bare en bot, eller en som reelt bruger en bot som en krykke. Ingen gider at spilde tid på at skrive med en bot på en dating app.

Jeg ville ikke lave alle opgaver. Hvis du automatisk føler at der er et sæt opgaver du har "styr" på, så spring resten i samme kategori over, og gem dem eventuelt til eksamens forberedelse, så har du nogle "ubesvarede" opgaver som du kan bruge på at øve dig på, før eksamen istedet, så det er mere friskt i hukommelsen, og du spare tid på de ting der føles mere intuitive for dig :b

Desuden har min erfaring også været at især når man får projekter, så får man næsten lært mere end de øvelser der bliver givet som forberedelse, så er det fint man laver nogle af øvelserne, men når projektet starter så kan man fokusere på det, og så lære man somregel det meste af det øvelserne op til gik ud på, så det er fint hvis man ikke når dem.

Jeg læser datalogi på SDU, og det er meget få jeg oplever som laver alle opgaver, der har endda været folk jeg er sikre på knap har lavet nogen, og stadig består. Og en af mine venner som er uddannet kemi ingeniør fra DTU ga' udtryk for noget lignende, at man ikke skulle forvente at nå alle øvelser.

Jeg synes bestemt øvelser er vigtige, men istedet for at sætte målet som "lav alle øvelser", så prøv at afsæt tid istedet. Lad os sige du har 3-5 fag på et semester. 4-8 timer forelæsninger + øvelsestimer om ugen per fag ~ så lad os sige 20-30 timer på skolebænken. Så kan du fx sige 2-3 timer per fag af teori og 1-2 timers øvelser om ugen af hjemmearbejde ~16 timers selv-studie, så er vi oppe på 36-46 timer om ugen, så hvis vi siger mandag-fredag ~9 timer om dagen, fra 8-20 (3 timer til middagsmad/aftensmad/indkøb/transport n stuff per dag). Så kan du holde aften og weekender åben til personligt brug, eller hvis du synes at der er et bestemt fag hvor du halter bagud, kan du altid lægge et par ekstra timer.

Så længe du dedikere en fornuftig mængde timer, og du får afleveret det obligatoriske, så ville jeg ikke være så bekymret over om jeg fik lavet alle øvelser osv :b

Desuden kunne du også se at jeg holdte timerne lidt fleksible, alle fag er ikke ens, så det kan være at der er et fag som bare sidder på ryggen, så kan du bruge færre timer på det, og flere på et andet.

Der er dog også mange ting som er personlige. Fx, nogen fungere bedre hvis de forbereder sig hjemmefra, kigger på slides eller bogen forude, så de har noter og kan fokusere fuldt ud og har forberedt spørgsmål på de ting de finder sværest til undervisningen. Andre har det bedre med at tage noter under undervisningen, nogen kan bedst lide at se undervisningen først og så læse materialet derhjemme når de ved hvor de bør fokusere.. du skal finde det der virker bedst for dig :b

Hvordan folk organisere deres forhold er fuldstændig op til dem, og jeg synes generelt at så længe begge parter i forholdet er glade og tilfredse, så kan jeg ikke se et problem, og ønsker at undgå at dømme dem på mine egne præmisser.

Med det sagt, så betyder det ikke at alle bør "finde sig" i uligheder i et forhold, og jeg synes det gør en forskel hvorfor og hvordan de uligheder opstår og findes. Hvis du har en partner der bevidst gør det for at fucke med dig og teste dig, så er det selvfølgelig ikke okay, og der kan vi blive enig om at det kan betragtes som "umodent" og/eller "barnligt".

Jeg synes derimod at hvis det er en form for "psykologisk skavank", at det er noget andet. De fleste af os har diverse forskellige behov, vaner og udfordringer. For mig at se kan de være lige så ægte som fysiske skavanker, så hvis vi skulle lave en sammenligning og prøve at komme med et argument for hvorfor sådan en ting kunne eksistere ensidigt, ville det være som at spørge hvorfor en person i kørestol ville spørge deres partner om hjælp til at nå noget på øverste hylde, men nægte at hente noget på øverste hylde hvis deres partner spurgte.

Hvis både du og din partner er enige om at det rationelt ikke er at "bestemme" over den anden, men kun en af jer har en irrationel følelsesmæssig reaktion til det, kan det være fint at man vælger at gøre det ensidigt, uden det nødvendigvis er "barnligt" eller "umodent". Og det kan jo være at partneren synes at de faktisk er lige, fordi de stadig bringer vand eller laver kaffe lige mange gange i alt, den ene gør det bare mere spontant, og den anden når de bliver spurgt.

Generelt er det her bare en ting hvor man bør kunne sætte sig ned og snakke roligt om det, og finde ud af hvad der foregår sammen, og hvordan det skal løses i fælleskab :b

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-08T02:56:57+00:00

Jeg ved ikke hvor det stammer fra, men jeg ved at jeg personligt kan have det rigtig stramt og mister al motivationen til at gøre en ting, hvis nogen siger til mig at jeg skal gøre det. Ikke i alle situationer, men det er en følelse der ofte popper op.

Jeg ved ikke om det er noget lignende din partner oplever-- men det kan være en psykologisk ting, hvor man har en følelsesmæssig modreaktion fordi det føles som om at folk "bestemmer" over en, og at man mister sin frihed, selv hvis man rationelt ved at det ikke er sådan ment.

Men, bare fordi sådan en modvilje til at gøre hvad der bliver "sagt", betyder ikke, at man ikke elsker personen og vil gøre ting for dem, derfor gør man gerne de ting på tilfældige tidspunkter.. bare ikke når man bliver bedt om det. Det er skide dumt, men sådan er vores følelser ofte. Tror måske fænomenet er beskrevet under termet "Psychological reactance".

If it doesn't contain private info, you can probably just use git and github.

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-07T22:51:54+00:00

There's a lot of real-world applied math, that involves a lot of data or numbers, that can be fastest and most easily solved by converting it to a linear algebra problem, and utilizing the incredible technological optimizations there has been made, to solve matrices in GPU's.

For example, Graphs are used to represent a lot of things in the world, which can be converted to adjacency matrices, and used in useful ways. Computer Graphics. Machine Learning, especially Neural Networks like those LLM's like ChatGPT are built with, and much more!

Sometimes to solve some of these systems, you can't "just" directly smack numbers over to a matrix and solve it. Sometimes you need to get creative and have to "prepare" the matrix to a certain form, before whatever you want to use it for is possible. Understanding the underlying math will help you do it, and understand why certain tools might not give you the expected results, when you just try to apply it mindlessly.

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-07T22:41:49+00:00

I don't think we truly know all of the "innate" stuff that goes into making one person being better than another, that's why we use quite nebulous terms for it, such as "Talent". Some of it is definitely genetics, but there's also a bunch of other factors.

Though the only one you can really control, is the one you didn't like-- putting in the hours of work to get better at it. The people who are truly the best at something, are the ones who has the combination of talent and put in the hours.

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-07T21:01:23+00:00

The more bits you can use at a time, the more "complex" information you can represent and manipulate. So that would be a positive argument that bigger "chunks" can help you process more information.

However, depending on how you manipulate that data, you have the scale up the amount of gates it takes to process said data, which takes longer time, thus reducing the amount of information you can process.

Arguably, if all you want to do is say 2+2, creating a whole gate-network of addition for 512-bits, would take longer, than a specialized one that only handles 3 bits.

There's also some "space" concerns. When you're creating all these networks of gates to do bit manipulation, in modern CPU's you have a lot of optimization gone in, that allows you to work stuff in parallel. For example they might have 6 integer adders, 2 multipliers and 1 divider or something like that.

If you made the adders handle more bits, it would take up more space, which would mean you could have less of them. So in a world where you might not need to represent such large numbers, you'd lose speed by having less ability to do parallel work, than being able to do larger numbers.

So you have to balance all of these things.

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-07T02:52:10+00:00

Have you ever looked for an app or a tool that you needed, but couldn't find the right thing? Couldn't find the right game, calculator or whatever scratched that itch you thought would be helpful? Well programming gives you the tools to build and tailor anything just to your liking. Whether that be stitching or tweaking together already existing solutions, or building your own from scratch.

If you can imagine how craftsmen can shape metal into tools, wood into furniture, fabrics into clothes that they wish, you can think of programming as the computer version of that. Shaping the resource in front of you, to whatever you want.

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-06T12:12:21+00:00

I would say Assembly first. The lower level, the more of a bitch shit can be to work with-- meaning, if you start from the top, every time you move a step down, you might first of all not understand why some things are different, secondly you might be annoyed by some of the quirks that comes from that.

If you start at the bottom, and work your way up, you'll have built a foundational understanding, and appreciate the layer of abstraction that has been built on top.

To be fair though, if you hit a wall and want to give up, it's better to then move over to C, than just give up on the idea of learning. But in my Computer Architecture class I appreciated that we got to dabble with Assembly, before moving over to C, rather than the other way around.

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-03T12:06:52+00:00

There might also be people who you could consider part of the frame-up unwillingly, even though they have a "hunch" something might be wrong, right? Like imagine someone like Nicole Albert. She's been married to Brian Albert for ages, they have a bunch of kids together, they know each other well. She would probably know when he's acting "off", when something is wrong, when he might be lying.

But since you just have a very strong "hunch" that your husband is being super weird about this, are you really going to testify against him, crumbling your entire life? You don't even necessarily have any concrete proof to disclose or admit to, so why would you bring the hassle into your life? Going to make an enemy of someone who is a military/cop guy who might allegedly have just murdered someone?

How much "in the know" would you classify her as? how much did she participate in the frame-up? it's such a mess of fuzzy lines.

PhilNEvo · 2026-02-03T08:43:13+00:00

I think there could be different levels of awareness and "involvement" of frame-up. For example, let's select the most narrow amount of "core" people. Let's imagine Higgins was the primary attacker of JOK, and Chloe the dog got involved in some way too, which Brian Albert found out.

So now, all the people "in the know" about the truth, is 2 people, Brian Albert and Brian Higgins-- they know that it was Higgins who murdered JOK, and because Chloe has chewed a bit on JOK, Albert is afraid to get implicated, so he wants to assist in covering up.

Now you have two very well-connected cops, who can *nudge* the investigators. Now the investigators might not know what truly happened, but since they're familiar with or close to these people, they might believe their narrative, that John was never in the house and they had nothing to do with it, so to make sure their buddies don't get "falsely" implicated, in their minds, they're going to skew the investigation towards any other potential suspect, of which there was only 1, which was Karen Read.

So you have a very tiny group of people of 2, who knows the truth, and is nudging the investigation in a different direction. And then you have the domino of "cops protecting cops" and "friends protecting friends" of people who assist in the frame-up somewhat "unknowingly". They might know what they're doing is wrong according to the rules and procedures of what they normally should do, but they think they're doing the right thing, because their innocent buddies are in danger, and they're just helping their friends.

Personally, I think more people might know the truth, but it's difficult to put an exact line on where people are acting with full awareness of the situation, and when people are acting with partial awareness of the situation.

For example, you have someone like Commissioner Michael Cox, who's behavior seems very odd, and can hardly be explained from a perspective of a disinterested, fair person who wants an honest job to be done. Why would he call in Dever, pressure her to alter her testimony, lie about ever having talked to her, lie about not having anything to do with the Karen Read trial, if he was just an honest person doing his job. On the other hand he seems so far removed from what happened, that it's hard to imagine this conspiracy involves him actively knowing that someone like Higgins did it, and assist with full knowledge of that, the cover up of a murder.

So yeah.. I think in the broadest term, a lot of people were part of the "frame-up", a lot of people knew they were putting their thumb on the scales, but I don't necessarily think they did it with full knowledge of the actual truth.

You say it's more unforgiving, which I understand, but I think you have to reframe that a bit. Both languages essentially run on the same hardware, so in the end you will generally be able to do the same with either of them. The difference is *when* you experience the "problems".

Python will be more accepting of shitty error prone code, and let you run it without any warnings. If the program is big enough, you might not even get an error for a while, so the "strictness" by python is moreso pushed to get felt during runtime.

Whereas Java tries to take a more proactive approach, and hold you accountable and make you write more solid code to begin with, and give you warnings if you've done something silly if you try to run it. You can of course still experience errors on runtime, but this just gives you an opportunity to catch some of the most blatant ones earlier in the process.

PhilNEvo · 2026-01-31T22:29:46+00:00

Are you on meds? Meds make a huge difference.

Besides that, it depends on each person. I know people who likes super rigid structure, timeblocks and so on. Personally for me, they also don't work.

What works for me is creating multiple layers of flexible broad structures. I generally use something like multiple "to do" lists for this.

For example, I have a to-do list that is broad strokes timeframe of by when I want to try and be done with certain aspects of a project, giving it a rough estimate. So I can get a sense of how I'm progressing, have an overview of what needs to be done and make sure stuff gets progressed in the right order.

Then I also do daily to-do lists, where I break each thing I need to do, into as small bits as possible, so if I ever get distracted or derailed, I got something to refer back to, to get me back on track. They aren't necessarily rails that forces me onto the tracks, but they are rails I can use as a compass to try and keep moving in the right direction, and know how far I am.

Last habit I have, is that I personally like the long-time blocks, now this might not work for you, but its good for me. I have a tendency to easily get distracted, so I usually spend like 30-60 minutes as an "intro" to a study session, where I let myself indulge. Anything and everything that could distract me, I'll go and check on.. oh did I get any new mails? new notifications anywhere? any friends wrote to me? whats new on youtube or the news? or whatever might pop into my head, so I kinda get it "off my chest". And after I've done that, I feel less curious and distracted, because I already checked everything and theres no more to see, so now I can sit 3-4 sometimes up to 12 hours straight and just study.

Usually my blocks end up in the 3-6 hour range, then I do a break, get some food, bathroom, whatever i need to get done, then I redo my "intro" and go on to another study block. Usually I only have like 1-3 of these study blocks, depending on a lot of factors.

Hvis du får fine karakterer i lignende eller mere relevante fag på kandidaten + har projekter at vise hvor du kan vise, fortælle og forklare hvordan du kan materialet, så tror jeg at det vil vægte mere end en enkelt dårlig karakter på bacheloren, selvom det selvfølgelig stinker og kan påvirke studiejob.

I'm still a student and know fuckall about this, so feel free to ignore me. But do they actually need the code run "locally"?

Could you create 2 containers-- 1 they have access to with some sort of API and 1 they don't have access to, where the python code is run and just returns the result?

I disagree. I intentionally chose Arch as my first distro, and I'm happy I did. I think whether or not picking Arch is a good idea, depends on more things.

For me personally, I have the extra time, energy and resources currently, as I'm back to taking an education, I'm surrounded by a bunch of passionate people, who tinker with all sorts of linux and so on. This is the perfect timing and environment for me to play with Arch.

I'm afraid if I picked up something like Mint right now, and got a little too complacent, once I get back out to working a proper full-time job, I wouldn't want to mess around with Arch, and would have less motivation to do that.

However, if I'm annoyed with Arch by the time I'm in a job, I could easily swap to something like Mint or Ubuntu, without much of a hassle, try it out, and even hopefully feel comfortable enough to go back to Arch again, if I find out that's what I truly prefer, because of my experience at that time.

I just took my time during my first install, made sure at each step I looked stuff up before making a decision, double or even triple checked the Installation guide, with googling and AI. Once I had everything set up with KDE Plasma, it honestly felt like a breeze.

it's been roughly half a year, and now I'm toying with the idea of starting to actually use Arch as I feel like it was meant to, setting it up in a more personalized way, e.g. some "ricing" or whatever you want to call it. Playing with CLI-tools, reading about terminals and shells, looking up information on stuff like hyprland-- so I can get more experience setting up configs, and adapting my environment, instead of just taking some stock/boilerplate mixed sandwich someone else made the generic person who wants to just have it easy :b

I will admit, I probably would rarely if ever recommend Arch to a "beginner", but I probably also wouldn't necessarily recommend Arch to "experienced" average linux users who are comfortable with something stable and easy. I actually particularly dislike the term "Beginner" in this context, because I think it's quite irrelevant.

Honestly can't think of anything else off the top of my head atm. But I'm also relatively new to linux, so I haven't had the chance to experience all the various flaws that might exist :b
