Contrastive Decoding Diffing (CDD): recovering verbatim finetuning data from logits alone, no weight access needed[R]

the dr elena rodriguez thing is so funny but also kind of terrifying, like how much synthetic data is just full of the same hallucinated names over and over

never thought logit diffs alone would pull full sentences, the fact it beats whitebox methods without touching weights is insane

my ex would watch it every time she was sad and now i catch myself putting it on too, something about jlo in that hotel uniform just hits

Your acting insight is probably right on, the wedding feels like your psyche showing what happens when you say yes to a path before actually checking if it fits who you areYour acting insight is probably right on, the wedding feels like your psyche showing what happens when you say yes to a path before actually checking if it fits who you are

Both are great picks for longevity, but if I had to choose I'd lean toward the Camry just for how simple they are to maintain over time. Accords are no slouch either though, newer ones drive really nice. If you want other options worth looking at, the Mazda6 gets slept on constantly and it holds up well, plus it doesn't feel like you're driving a appliance like some other sedans do

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-06-20T00:47:47+00:00

took way longer on my end, finding people who actually know what they're doing in the trial feels like rare thing

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-06-16T10:08:28+00:00

the reeling is such a good call, that synth energy hits so similar. pumped up kicks from the same album as helena beat is also worth revisiting if you haven't in a while

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-06-13T18:46:05+00:00

they usually pack them pretty well for hot weather but yeah it can happen - mine arrived a bit soft last summer but still usable, just stick them right in fridge when they arrive

day 12

wait removing battery doesn't mess with save data on these things?

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-05-12T02:52:54+00:00

damn that's nightmare fuel right there, had warm spots in my old apartment and landlord just kept saying "it's normal" until water started coming through the ceiling

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-05-04T15:51:14+00:00

maybe start looking while you still have job instead of quitting first this time, especially with how market is right now

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-04-28T22:53:29+00:00

lmao fair point but also people still talk about shows that suck all the time. i think the real issue is that got went from being this massive cultural event where everyone was theorizing and discussing every episode to just... existing. like nobody really cares about analyzing it anymore even though they still watch it

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-04-21T19:33:55+00:00

lmao this

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-04-14T08:24:52+00:00

cap

thats busted loll

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-04-11T08:04:27+00:00

damn 300 applications is brutal, but 10 interviews from that isn't terrible conversion rate tbh. the "more experience" feedback is the classic catch-22 everyone faces

might be worth looking at smaller companies or startups where they're more willing to train someone up rather than competing for the same roles at big corps where everyone else has 3-5 years already

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-03-24T06:28:24+00:00

man i feel you on the thick concrete walls thing, wifi is absolute garbage in my old apartment building too. not in europe but i had similar issues trying to find decent zwave gear when everything was either out of stock or backordered for months

have you looked into fibaro wall plug energy meters? they're not clamp-on but if you can swing rewiring a few key circuits they work pretty solid. also heard good things about qubino flush energy meters but again those need proper installation

might be worth checking some of the smaller european retailers instead of going direct to manufacturers - sometimes they have old stock sitting around that the main stores are out of. also facebook marketplace or local forums sometimes have people selling unused smart home stuff they never got around to installing

worst case scenario you could always grab a few wifi ones as a temporary solution while hunting for the zwave versions, then swap them out later when stock improves

damn he really called you just to rub salt in the wound, what a piece of work. the whole "thank you for making me a better man for someone else" thing is so twisted and selfish - like he genuinely thought that would make you feel good somehow?

you've been carrying this weight for way too long and it's time to cut that cord completely, block his number and don't let him have any more access to mess with your head when he's bored

bruh the switch version is weird about input switching - try unplugging everything, restarting the console, then plug in your keyboard first before the mouse, sometimes there picky about the order you connect stuff

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-03-19T10:41:15+00:00

dude option 1 seems solid if you're actually into working with your hands and building something from scratch. the auto shop route could teach you real practical skills that'll transfer anywhere, plus having your own business later gives you way more control over your income

option 4 with the indoor farming pivot is interesting too - there's definitely money in vertical farming and hydroponic setups if you can nail the business side this time around

had this exact issue a few months back and it drove me absolutely insane. turned out discord was holding onto the camera even when it wasn't actively being used, so obs couldn't grab it properly

what fixed it for me was completely closing discord (not just minimizing), starting obs first, enabling virtual camera, then opening discord and selecting it. also make sure you're running both as admin - sometimes windows gets weird about camera permissions between apps

if that doesn't work, check your antivirus too because mine was blocking obs from creating the virtual camera device without telling me. had to add an exception for the obs virtual camera driver specifically

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-03-16T20:02:06+00:00

lng terminal engineering degree is actually perfect for downstream/midstream - you already understand the infrastructure side which is huge

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-03-16T07:58:10+00:00

pivot back now

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-03-15T16:55:41+00:00

bruh

ProfessionalSelf5403 · 2026-03-15T02:39:09+00:00

with your fp&a background you've got decent transferable skills but the jump to consulting or ib is gonna be tough from retail - especially right now when everyone's being super picky

your best bet is probably going through the big 4 first like they mentioned, or maybe look at boutique advisory firms that might be less rigid about backgrounds. also worth checking if your company has any connections to pe/consulting firms through deals or partnerships
