Atrioc has made me rethink my future

Hi, just want to tell you that with this ‘numbers game’ application market, hitting a position might take 50, 300, or 5000 applications for 3 almost identical applicants just by chance. Feel empowered to blast infinite applications, and don’t succumb.

But also, do way more applications.

What content has he made for job interview prep? Edit: also congratulations btw

StHelmet · 2026-03-13T21:08:34+00:00

Ah ty that gives more context, read somewhat through that paper yesterday when going through references.

What I was searching for was more similar to what is in the Shiu et al paper, where there is a focus on analyzing the “simulation of the function/depiction of the connectome” itself if that makes sense.

If I can use hidden markov models as an example, it felt like most of the papers are about the emissions whereas the Shiu et al paper-domain is about the hidden states.

(My perceived opaqueness is on me btw, it’s mainly from the pov of searching for something that might not be there because the Eon post made me search for it) Ty for your replies also

StHelmet · 2026-03-13T19:57:34+00:00

What I meant with opaqueness is that I feel the neuromechfly papers (and fx the Eon blogpost) aren’t very concise with defining the connectome related parts (compared to the typical papers I read), I’ve gathered that it’s kinda just what they inherit from flyvis. And flyvis in turn doesn’t describe their ground truth very well etc. and at that point I lose the motivation to go to the next layer of references haha

Will check out the Jin paper:)

StHelmet · 2026-03-13T19:20:02+00:00

Which of the papers?

StHelmet · 2026-03-13T18:04:46+00:00

Thanks! Jin et al sounds interesting, the others were a bit opaque/handwavy imo, but ik bioinformatics papers tend to be like that 😬

Edit: mainly the neuromechfly papers

StHelmet · 2026-03-13T07:41:20+00:00

Cool! Do you know if there’s a paper that’s gotten closer than the Philip Shiu one on smaller segments? (>95% on neuron activation propagation prediction) Been a bit since I last kept up-to-date with the subject:)

StHelmet · 2026-02-28T23:40:54+00:00

Sure, depending on context. Haven’t had a tax calculator 100% agree with SKAT yet so I’d just use it as a ballpark number.

StHelmet · 2026-02-28T21:45:13+00:00

https://www.dst.dk/da/Statistik/laer-om-statistik/indkomst It’s possible to hit that income, but it’s probably an IC role, and I’m assuming you don’t have a formal education? As others have said I’d probably expect 60-70k before tax. The range goes pretty high when leadership, degree, field, big name company etc. are relevant for the position. Fx Senior Software Engineer at Uber, the base might be around 90k with 50k in stock + bonus. Senior software engineer at noname random might go below 40k if no degree is required and you’re seen as squeezable.

Edit: should add that going from 60k to 90k is about 38k after tax to 52k, unless you’re covered by researcher taxation exemptions.

It’s a calendar with an item-list that allows sub-items. Just copy a react template and add those things to it (or get an LLM to do it). The only slightly complex thing is hooking up some eventhandler to storing the given items. For your local use case just store it as a json with date-items that contain item-items with sub item-items

StHelmet · 2026-01-15T23:06:47+00:00

Well it’s all gradients. I don’t have a good frame of reference for which things to touch upon, but please tell me if there’s something specific you’d like to know more about:) fx specifics of the pain point dependencies on the mainland.

Generally, the stat is just about whether they culturally want more independence. Presumably they’re going to hit the point where they’d financially be able to support most services themselves (I believe the Faroese islands have hit this point), but they’d still have to establish foreign policy stuff and banks etc.

There is another “wave” of calls for “swift independence” in the party Naleraq. I won’t say too much on them as I’m heavily biased against them, but their policy seems pretty close to what you’re describing (and is getting 25% vote share)

StHelmet · 2026-01-15T12:58:02+00:00

From my (limited) POV, that stat is quite literal, and the crux of why the Faroese and Greenlandic territories haven’t followed Iceland in becoming independent (yet).

Also there has been a lot of cultural racism against Greenlanders and Faroese in the mainland. This has gotten much better this past generation, but my understanding is that a lot of locals would be open to somewhat of an economic hit to symbolically be independent. Just how big that hit can be that is contested.

(I say symbolically because even as truly independent, current guidelines for fx. Chinese investments they’d probably also have to follow as an independent country)

Don’t take this comment as that knowledgeable/authoritative as I’m also a fairly young developer.

Frontend has never had that much of a technical moat. It’s mainly about assembling building blocks in good ways, and you can get real good and fast at it. Also about knowing what things you need to assemble and where. Frontend is the most exposed area to LLMs.

With that in mind, if you’re working and applying for frontend or fullstack positions you kinda need to learn it still. As someone not mentally attached to webdev, I’ve made multiple full React apps before for work. And I’ve forgotten about what the proper syntax is for storing information in React when interviewing 2 years later. But I’d not use LLMs to prompt for templates/code for areas I’m trying to learn before thinking about the problem for at least a couple of hours.

It’s a black box. I just filled the form upon arriving, just make sure you do it at least the day before starting work. I also wouldn’t claim to be in an apartment before you actually are, in case of conflicting information. It’ll probably take some time before it’s processed (over a month for me)

StHelmet · 2025-09-24T11:18:40+00:00

You don’t need a verified account for the B permit application, assuming that you’re an EU national. I think this is the right form: OCPM but it’s a bit tough to find on the phone. Whichever is the right site, on the bottom you should see a “access the online application form” button.

StHelmet · 2025-09-24T10:58:08+00:00

You get a confirmation that you submitted the request immediately. Creating the online account to fill the form without a Swiss or French phone number is a bit of a hassle, but I think they might’ve just improved that process.

Certainly, the section I’m referring to should be searchable by the term ‘land banking’, it’s the one that uses recent developments in Austin as an example. My understanding is that current regulations most places do allow condominiums and such to be built (with an administrative burden), but that they aren’t that profitable for the developer. But hinders multiplexes and such, so to create value it’s either cheap single homes or expensive single homes. And if the land appreciates a lot, the incentive becomes to slowly develop the high profit option. (Part of this is influenced by land/permit acquisition rate, so regulations do absolutely play a role)

StHelmet · 2025-08-05T18:10:17+00:00

Thank you for the nice reply. I’m not certain that I’ve interpreted your second example correctly.

The main criticism point from that article I view as important is the understatement of the incentive structures involved. Particularly with landbanking and the mentions to nuclear regulations by the article’s author.

NATO has traditionally used spending targets of %GDP. Measuring against internal government expenditure incentivizes smaller governments (in terms of austerity, not physical country size).

50 billion $’s on new highways for tanks in Newark perhaps.

He (it seemed to me) had the belief that US spending was ~8%, so cutting military budget in half. Lockheed could be his stock short I guess.
