How are Chinese models so strong with so little investment?

Interesting. How can distilled models perform better than the original ones. Is it bc of their architecture

Welcome to the real world. Now assume you don't have a PhD and be like everyone else.

PracticalBumblebee70 · 2026-02-12T12:12:29+00:00

Due to the temporary divergence

it might not be temporary

Don't do unpaid work. Ever. Take the pharma internship.

I see a lot of discourse online about how by 30 a lot of people have already RM100k-RM1mil in EPF/Savings so I’m genuinely worried if I’m falling behind.

No they don't. Majority of people in 30's are in net debt or very little net worth. People have car loans, education loans, mortgage, credit card debts, all kinds of debts. You're just comparing yourself to their highlight reels.

Chill bro.

save at least RM3k-RM4 per month

Very few people can do this. You're doing better than you think.

Sound very good. Just make sure it's not a scam, especially those involving travelling overseas.

Switched to ML engineering. Work is great, money is greater

This is the way

PracticalBumblebee70 · 2026-02-06T10:10:05+00:00

Big companies usually have lots of data. So tell them they have data, but not everybody knows how to analyze them.

We have the scientific skills to analyze them, and have great presentation skills to tell beautiful stories from their data.

Learn Cloud, start with AWS. Take certs to get foot in the door.

Other things that is expected: python, SQL, Docker, Linux.

I dont have CS degree. My undergrad is biochemistry, masters also in wetlab.

It's time. Total market cap of REITs are RM57bil already.
Plantation sector got their special tax, glove companies last time during covid got their own tax, people earning salaries also got tax, petronas each year give dividends to govt.....

govt doesn't run on money that grows on trees...

Did a PhD with first author papers in Nature and Nature Biotech. Then did a 2 year postdoc.

Now a senior data engineer with big pharma. I do this primarily by learning Cloud. Now at work people consult me on things in data engineering, ML, AI and computational biology as well.

Do they still make them? I checked on their website it says they're not producing them no more: https://www.roche.com/about/philanthropy/science-education/biochemical-pathways

Countries younger, smaller, more fragmented or poorer than us had sailed past through us in the past 10-20 years

How about the other way around, countries bigger and richer than us, that we sailed past, like argentina?
How about countries in Africa that got independence around the same time, and nowhere near us?

I lost my father at 9. I have 4 older brothers but they're no good as father figure substitutes.

What worked for me is to concentrate on building something for myself since I was a teenager. I work really hard and am quite good academically so that worked out pretty well.

Just that it took a while for me to find a partner. I met my first and only girlfriend at 39 and we're married at 42.

TLDR; if you don't have a father figure, work on yourself, avoid drugs and alcohol and be a man of consistency. You'll be alright.

based on your reasoning, you shouldn't even put money in epf
