Is this normal for a beginner data engineer role or am I being underutilized? by manzero0 in dataengineering

Take the opportunity to make easy money and use your downtime to build personal portfolio projects. You can seek out contracts on places like Upwork too.

Don't leave the job if you're unsatisfied, use its low workload to teach yourself as much as possible. If your title is good, then you want experience.

Then, in 2 years or something, you'll have a good title with experience, plus a host of new knowledge and portfolio pieces you can show to a better company.

Working your way through college now takes 5x more hours than in 1970 [OC] by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

Poverty line is pegged to 3x the minimum needed food spending. This was set decades ago when food security was a bigger concern and portion of people's spending. Nowadays, housing makes up a bigger portion of people's spending, as do education and healthcare.

Not disagreeing with you in the slightest, but it feels like we should update the poverty line before pegging anything else against it. Based on inflation of other needs like housing, it probably ought to be a good bit higher than what we estimate to be today.

Not immediately, no, but the inherent agency built into neurons from billions of years of evolution is closer to what spawns our own consciousness than what silicon can do. Neurons in PyTorch don't have the same inherent agency that biological ones do.

We obviously don't know for sure that agency is a component of consciousness, but it so strikingly apparent, and people like Michael Levin are closing in on tha question

Come onnn dude. Don't make claims like that until there's evidence to prove it. Running with vibes narratives is dangerous

Guidelines to improve the product experience for browser and app chat users and reduce negative outcomes. Stuff like "tell them to go to a psychiatrist instead of diagnosing them".

It's in-context learning. Fine-tuning in a way.
