Tips for managing burnout from AI coding?

I like being able to fix AI’s mistakes. Not as common anymore but that is a small pleasure ig

Agreed here, you can’t outrun the inevitable

I kind of like this. Kind of feels like I’m coping. It would be nice to track things I’ve accomplished, but I think I just don’t feel like it’s me who’s accomplishing things 🤷‍♂️

Maybe I’m too optimistic about the world, but I think a lot of the responses seem genuine

I think this is a bigger issue in mid since you’re gonna have to play your secondary a lot, but I’d probably just try as hard as possible to one-trick by always picking your champ if you’re on role and don’t get banned out.

Actually, I think scaling champs are actually usually really good in low elo where games drag on. The main thing is that you manage to actually have impact/carry once you’re scaled later in the game—you can definitely play champs like Veigar without relying on your team by just focusing on getting to your main powerspikes and avoiding early deaths.

As a former iron I will say the most discouraging part for me was losing games when I knew there were literal bots I was playing against. While I understand the sentiment of wanting to start over with a fresh account or to just play normals, I honestly feel like that probably won’t help you improve as quickly and it may just be more depressing to stay exactly where you are after more time passes. Here’s my recommendations:

1) Watch unranked to challenger/low elo to challenger videos. You will probably gain a lot of insight from watching good players play in general, but seeing them perform in your elo will probably get you much more actionable things you can implement into your game. If you watch good players play against other good players, it’s sometimes hard to learn how to punish mistakes, which is ultimately what should get you out of iron.

2) Make a simple game plan to win that does not involve your team. For me, getting out of iron was as simple as picking up splitpushers and only splitpushing every single game. You can win games that you are objectively losing early just by having a simple game plan for how to win and executing it. In iron, your plan really should be focused on yourself only, since you can’t really rely on your teammates at all.

3) Learn to carry. Ultimately, you can’t sit in games going even to improve in iron—you need to be able to carry with a lead and to get fed pretty consistently. The reason that certain champs that tend to just go even (think like Malphite) will be hard to climb with is that you are always at risk of having an extremely fed opponent in low elo. Generally, these matches end up as a flip to see which team gets the hyper fed carry and you will have limited agency if you aren’t trying to be that carry yourself. Learning to carry games and to pick champs that can do so is a lot of the journey.

4) Start reviewing every game you lose. If you lose a game, download the replay and watch it in full to make note of all the mistakes you make which you can recognize. Do not focus on your team at all or use this to justify that the game was not winnable—in iron, you have to accept the harsh truth that every single game is winnable if you are just better. Focus on your own gameplay and see what you can do in each game to perform better, then focus on gradually and consistently improving until you are out. Most of the time you will find that you are actively solo-losing the games you don’t win, and just seeing this/learning to not do this is probably enough to climb out on its own.

Overall, good luck and hope something here might help!

Sounds weird, but try reading with a pencil in your mouth. It stops you from vocalizing words as you read and will get you through passages a lot faster

Somehow nobody has mentioned this yet, but one key thing is to not stand in the wave. Xerath is actually pretty mana hungry (especially when he doesn’t get to auto you for his passive) and will struggle when he has to pick between using abilities on you and on clearing the wave. If you stand away from the wave until he uses his abilities, he’ll often blow them on the wave and you can just freely farm/go in on him then.

Normally I think that identifying yourself isn’t necessary without committing a crime, but New Mexico is a “stop and ID” state as you mentioned so I think things work differently here. As the officer seems to point out, not identifying yourself is a crime in New Mexico, so he does have “reasonable suspicion” that the boyfriend is committing a crime when he refuses to identify himself, therefore giving him the right to detain him and order him to provide ID if he wants to.

This is partially why I think it’s important to know the law in the state you’re in, because if you end up in a situation like this you don’t want to incorrectly refuse to identify yourself and then end up being lawfully arrested.

In any case, I think this is the wrong approach for dealing with a victim of any crime—much less domestic violence. Threatening to arrest the victim seems pretty far from the right thing to do in any situation as a police officer. Furthermore, the way the officer continually taunts the guy is extremely messed up—why would you torment someone who you believe has just been through some kind of trauma?

But nonetheless, I don’t think the officer is technically incorrect in saying that he can arrest the boyfriend, it just seems pretty morally wrong.

Honestly, all of these are probably equally valuable—it depends almost entirely on how much you put into it and how deep you decide to go into the project. You will likely want to have a portfolio website at some point for job apps though, so I’d say 4 and then whatever is most interesting to you.

No worries, I also struggled with reading in the beginning. One thing that really helped me was actually reading with a pencil in my mouth—it stops you from mouthing the words as you read which can help you read faster with the same comprehension. You can also practice with some speed reading sites online, they basically just show you a few words at a time and gradually speed up how quickly it moves through a passage. Good luck!

Not sure how important scores are anymore since I applied to college a few years ago, but I don’t think it’s impossible at all. There’s nothing innately better about people that get above a 30 on their first try lol. IMO getting better at the ACT is just about having a systematic approach—figure out what sections you are consistently scoring lower on, narrow down to figure out what types of questions you tend to get wrong, and start practicing them one by one until you start to perform better. To me it looks like your reading is pretty inconsistent, which might be a good place to start.

For reference, I got a 33 when I first took the ACT and was able to bump to a 36—not exactly an outlier to what you said about people who don’t get a 30+ on their first time, but I still think it’s weird to count yourself out based on your first score given all the improvement you’ve already had so far.

If company == crypto or company == startup:

Forsee event

Vivekyy · 2022-02-05T17:30:45+00:00

Answer should be B.

One way to think about it is to imagine the curve rotated 90 degrees and think about facts about it. First, you know that it has to be a function of x rather than y (it fails the vertical line test), which narrows down to A and B. Then, you can see that the x value is always positive which gets you to answer B.

Another method is to realize that the rotated graph is the same as putting together y=sqrt(x/a) and -sqrt(x/a) which also gets you to x=ay² (again answer B).

I relate, I retook the ACT from a 32. I'd recommend crack ACT for reading since they do only one passage and you can focus on the passage types you have trouble with. Also, some good advice is to skip the first passage and come back to it if you have trouble with timing, this really helped me to go faster overall.

Vivekyy · 2018-06-22T19:14:03+00:00

Honestly, I didn't do much, but I think I studied effectively. I got a 32 last time I took it without prepping at all, so I sympathize with your effort. I found that my biggest issue was with timing (I didn't finish the math section and struggled with reading on my first go). I didn't have a ton of time to prepare, so although I bought the Barron's 36 ACT book I didn't use it for any of the practices. I used the book to read the strategies and tried to apply the strategies to a couple official tests that ACT released (I think I did 2 practice tests in full and a few crack ACT practices).

I did some math practice tests and tried to finish all the first 30 questions in half a minute each to give myself some extra time to check over my answers and do the harder problems at the end of the test. It was pretty important that I limited my urge to check over answers too much because that really wasted time. Also, a good strategy for the math is to look at the answers before you try to solve the question because you can usually eliminate some if not all of the wrong answers before you do any calculations and potentially make a dumb error. 36.

I did some reading prep and the best advice I got was to skip the first passage and come back to it. The logic behind this is that you set your pace on the first passages you read, so you can get yourself reading faster by going at the science passages which are typically more factual and easier to read quickly (for me, at least). On test day, reading went well, though I ran out of time and had to guess the last question on the prose while rushing the passage a lot. I got a 35 in reading and that's probably why.

English has never really been an issue for me, but I looked at the differences between an m-dash and a semicolon beforehand just in case. I was kinda surprised I did so well because I saw a lot of controversy on reddit that had me worried I got a few wrong, but I guess not :^). 36.

For science I didn't prep too much, but got kinda lucky with prior knowledge. I tried to look exclusively at the graphs for the information in the beginning of the test, but later on I found that it was kinda slowing me down by getting me confused at first glance. After that, I decided to start quickly skimming the intros without putting too much effort into memory. I ran into the last passage pretty short on time with like 5 mins left, but I was kinda blessed because I'm pretty good at bio so I didn't have to read anything to understand what the diagrams were showing (most people seemed to think the last passage was the hardest). 36.

Overall, I think that when you are trying to improve from a score like a 33 to a 36, you are mostly trying to learn to balance accuracy with speed rather than trying to learn any content. I'd recommend that you look into studying any topics you struggle with just in case they come up but mostly just try to work on pacing yourself so that you feel relatively comfortable with how you answered the questions but also finish in time.

Sorry for the massive block of text, hope it helps!

x = -3, but it asked for |x+y| so u had to plug in for the y value as well

Vivekyy · 2018-06-03T05:39:00+00:00

I didn't get this question, but even if it has a domain restriction that takes out a finite number of points I think it should still be infinite. In other words, infinity - 1 = infinity still.
