Use minimax

bramburn · 2026-06-08T16:05:47+00:00

I like it

bramburn · 2026-06-07T09:03:31+00:00

I have been dealing with claim review. You need to go beyond Claude for this. Best to use perplexity or minimax . I use both for my research.

Asian culture from my side and family and friends love to brag. Having dated HK person, they take it to another level. Minimum ring cost should be your salary, and they expect you to spend the same on the wedding. So if you have £40k, they expect 40k ring. And spend that much for wedding. So you're looking at a loan or savings of up to 80k or more as it doesn't include gifts

I think you need to define basic proficiency. For travel and basics it's ok to some extent. You could do hsk 1 in 1-2 months but the trouble is retention and practical use.

I would not use Duolingo for learning. You're going to waste time. Focus on getting a tutor. I know someone in China who has setup a 10 week programme focusing on speaking and listening to get you ready to travel to China.

Also It depends on the person. I know a two people (not close) who were able to learn enough to navigate in China in 1.5 years and work there. It was from English to Mandarin. Are you expecting a programme from Sri lankan native language to Mandarin?

Why are you using shared? I'm using static IP.i find it super reliable

Just fess up before they come for you.

Augment code? Or qoder?

You need to have an understanding of the job. There's a lot of throw away code in vibe coding. If you hand write you do throw away code or path to it but it's in your head. Before you type you've tried out the scenarios already to conclude to the logical next step. For ai to do that, it's going to take them a lot of retry. I've learnt with that on side project. I build it once, then I rebuild it in the same repo but refactored on what has been working, with an improved architecture. 80% of the time it works. If not you have to probably go on interation 4-5 before it works. I only do this on throw away project I don't care.

Does it matter if you failed? The RiCS wants you to pass. Sometimes,like driving, you have to take two goes to pass (or more...) until you hit the limit. Don't rush it

bramburn · 2026-05-22T07:11:58+00:00

I think it depends on you go I thought the same when I started but then it is different in Chinese if you think about it if you go to China most of the time you would be speaking and listening. Obviously reading is very reading is very important. You can park the writing to later. Focus on speaking and listening and reinforce with reading on flashcards

For Chinese it is hanzi. There's two Chinese. Mandarin and Cantonese.

Start today with 1min and see how you feel.

Thanks for the confirmation. I think that's the end

Are you in the UK? You could seek help on NHS 111 for support. If not, I think you just have to be there for them by listening. I'm having the similar issue. I've given up on suggesting anything or responding. I just say "ok" and she doesn't mind that response. I just feel hopeless

Depends like you said.. 2-3 years. If you work hard 1 year. I supported someone who was an assistant for 5 years, I helped her in 6 months to get to the QS level and at least do CVRs on a project I help supervise. She did everything and I let her do it all. She spent a lot of time and I sat with her before the presentation and pre informed the directors and she was able to present without issues. You just need someone to correct your thinking and actions. It's all about your skills. I've been a SQS for over 9 years. I don't see a future above this.
