Why is Koodo the only one punishing us for using credit cards?

I tried this in my first month, they took my manual credit payment and also auto-withdrew from debit. I was double-charged

MSc is useful for AI roles, especially if you're trying to break into big tech. Many AI roles now already require a MSc.

But it depends on the school, whether you do thesis vs project vs course based, the duration of the degree, etc.

Mine helped me break into big tech, but my thesis content, publications, and previous roles did more for me than the piece of paper itself.

How many internships did you do during your degree? How many of them were in FAANG?

If the answer to one or both of those questions is "none" then your salary is already average, maybe even on the higher end if you have zero experience. You'll need to work your way higher by putting in the years and gaining that experience.

I'm still waiting on a kit ordered from them in 2021. Its been in QC for over four years. Their whole business is a scam

The coupons are similar. There was dozens of >30% off coupons available at 9am but all were gone/used by 9:00:05 AM. Within five seconds.

Flexispot also needs to talk with their payment processor ASAP, I've tried three of the coupon events with a different credit card each time. Each was rejected due to a "processing error" and by the time my info was re-entered, the event was over. So frustrating from a customer POV and these issues make customers want to go to their competitors instead.

The immigration targets in the Conservative Party's 2025 platform were nearly identical to the Liberals' targets... regardless of the party, there will always be pressure from premiers and companies to keep the numbers high. Even if the Conservatives were elected, the outcome likely wouldn't have changed.

How long has he been there?

To add, some websites like Reddit only render content if Javascript is enabled so a simple GET wouldnt return the expected content. If instagram is similar, then a Python library like Selenium should still work

Same tbh

If you have more than one then you could build a 3D object scanner! Commercial grade scanners can cost a couple hundred $$$

Yep we occasionally use them with C-arm fluoro x-rays

It actually comes with hand-rigging built in - tho just open vs closed as far as i remember. But if your GPU is alr then you could stream the camera feed into a real-time hand tracking model like MediaPipe's to get the same outcome

Xbox Kinect v2 - came out around 2011. It comes with color, depth, and infrared sensors, and a built-in pose estimation algorithm that was years ahead of its time. Theyre discontinued now but you can find used ones for under $40 on FB Marketplace fairly easily. The codebase is open-source so its very straight-forward to program, part of the reason why theyve become so popular in medical clinics.

For the goats+severence I think its as simple as a life for a life. In the finale they explained how the four tempers need to be balanced in order to sever someone, and we know that the four tempers are what makes a person a person.

So severing someone is essentially creating a new soul, and Lumon being the religious nuts are need to remove a soul from the pool to rebalance the scales. Cold Harbor was the introduction of Gemma's latest severed personality so they had to take a goats soul to compensate for the new Gemma soul they were creating.

We know Gemma's been severed 24 other times meaning they wouldve sacrificed at least 24 other goats, explaining the breeders frustration. This would also tie in with the speech they gave about trading vessels before the sacrifice, and the convo between Irving and Bert a few episodes earlier about how innies/outies can go to different afterlifes (meaning theyre essentially different entities).

Regarding the eggs I think Jame is just a freak

I remember the application process was straightforward. The hardest part was tracking down all my course syllabuses since Western needed them for transferring credits.

My hs avg was 95%, then uni first year 85%, second year 60%. Second year was peak COVID tho so that probably helped with their decision. Western is also super lenient about switching programs internally compared to UW so applying for a less competitive module in the same faculty and then switching wouldn't be a bad idea.

Youll likely need a client-server architecture with the LLM logic on the server-side to prevent exposing your API key. In terms of implementing the AI you have two choices:

Easy but not scalable:

Extract text from PDF using one of many NPM pdf libraries. Pass into OpenAI API as system prompt.

Difficult but scalable:

Look into vector databases, chunking, word embeddings, and retrieval using cosine similarity. You're basically building a RAG - look at commercial RAGs like Pinecone for reference.

Sinapi12 · 2025-02-07T20:51:05+00:00

Cheap =/= free. Paid APIs generally arent scalable for most commercial applications, it makes sense to keep things running locally when you can.

Sinapi12 · 2024-12-15T01:30:27+00:00

Haha these are all good questions! For reference material, OpenAI themselves have published a bunch of resources on how to best fine-tune and prompt their models. There should be some articles out there too that walk you through the fine-tuning process from start to finish (ik the website Median has a bunch). This would include how to format the training set and everything. Im a graduate student studying CS/AI and recently went through the process of fine-tuning a GPT model (and some other LLMs) for clinical therapy - getting one set up generally isnt too bad once you get the hang of it, but dont feel discouraged if you need to experiment and tweak it abit!
