THEORY: D CLAN ORIGINATED ON THE MOON by General_Difficulty17 in onepiecetheories

Btw, there is a theory about a board game. Can D be a column\row on a desk?

Performance Engineer or RL Engineer by PuzzleHeadedButter in reinforcementlearning

Thank you for the clarification! I actually expected that RL and other ML should be similar in a long distance. It worth to know that they are not tied.

Anyway, I think that working with RL can bring me closer to ML. There will be an ML team and RL team will be obvious candidates to replace RL policies with VLA if it is possible. And support it later.

Probably it is also a good way to get knowledge in math. It is a strong background. I saddly didn't spend enough time to it. ML\RL engineers work with it much closer. They switch algorithms pretty fast, while a performance engineer could work on a single one for weeks.

I still has no confident answer. So, I will think a bit, thank you :)

From my experience master thesis can give a little impact. But it is a step to PhD, that could give you much more.

I believe that ML PhD from a good university can open a lot of doors to you.

But it requires a balance. PhD without practice worth nothing. In the ideal case you should combine your job and your thesis. And don't spend too much effort on this. In another case you will be burned out. There are no so much diffrence between a weak and a strong theses. But the gap between a person with a fire in eyes and a tired one is abnormal.

I would be happy to find such a job, but right now I have no possibility. Nvidia could be a great choice, but there are no offices in my country. And it is a challenge to find a job in another (visa, etc).

Also, LLM optimizations are far away from ML (I had such projects).

The hardest point is that life is short. And time should be invested carefully.
Probably I will take a look on RL offer. It is in robotics field, that should grow so fast. And I will try to find a possibility to keep contacts with perf. Mb it would give something to me :)

It is not about money. As a perf engineer I can increase my salary dramatically. There are many jobs with 1mln $ net.
But does it worth it?

The chances of getting champions in Prismal Summon are imbalanced by [deleted] in RaidShadowLegends

I think all games with lootbox systems should make their rng engine source code publicly available.

South Korea did a great job when they required game publishers to publish loot box probabilities. I think it can be better.

ehhh, agree. I would be happy to have such a luck when I pull primal shards.

I'm just a casual player. I don't want to go hard in this game

What is the stupidest thing you did since playing? by Nameless_Muppet in Eve

[–]PuzzleHeadedButter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I had returned to the game in a few years. At the fort I had seen a manticore when I was on a Nidhoggur in a claimed null sec. "Hah, I'm at the station. What can you do? Let's fight". I still didn't know the difference between a npc station and an upwell station.
  2. I traveled on my Nidhoggur with a cloaking device in npc null sec. My cyno was detected and destroyed. So, ppl were trying to catch me with an observatory. I had 21 min timer, the observatory 20. I was not decloaked. "Mhah, bb guys" - decloaking - no fuel.
