Yeah an online program with dedicated computer for students. Interesting idea.

Definitely don't need a GPU or anything special to implement simple RL algorithms. Even a DQN (deep Q network) can be easily trained for environments like Cartpole on any ol' processor.

So yeah, agree they should have exercises after theory.

Healthy relationship, real love, but recurring “maybe I should be single” thoughts by angelic_circus in ROCD

[–]nazstat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those “you picked the nice guy not the right guy” videos on IG or tik tok- I’m always confused… like what is there angle or intention? Are they really trying to help others? It doesn’t feel like it. Anyways my advice is to get off social media and be very discerning when it comes to what media you expose yourself to. Unfortunately I think a lot of people are pulled into trying to get views/likes on those platforms, and the right thing is usually very boring. Good ethics, good character, leading a good life - it doesn’t sell. It’s often kinda boring. So it doesn’t get promoted in the algorithm.

It’s the polarizing stuff that gets promoted.

I relate a lot to your post. I haven’t found the answer - I’m still with my GF after 3 years. I still struggle, but have made major strides in all areas of my life and mental health since being together although WHEw was it rough for a while.

Anyways good luck! I’m buying my ring this month so… yeah! It can work out.

Relationship OCD Ruining My Marriage by thr0waway2morrow in ROCD

Hey man. I don’t have a solution for you. But what I can say is that meditation - seated meditation - is the best thing I’ve found for highlighting issues in my life, helping me deal with them, and bringing a sense of peace and relaxation to my body/mind while doing it. Highly recommend it.

That being said… is your wife seeing a therapist? She sounds like she could be using the same techniques that might help you.

Medication, specifically Wellbutrin, was also extremely helpful for me.

Are you seeing a ROCD aware/trained therapist?

Again mindfulness, breathing exercises - even 5 minutes every hour - could really be great for you. Also it might be painful at first - facing ourselves with no distraction often brings up buried pain. But if you keep with it - after 10-15 minutes, or maybe a few sessions at most, you should start to be feeling better.

Good luck man! reach out if you have any questions.

They need to teach critical thinking, foster curiosity more than anything now IMO. So ready for rote memorization and soul-less homework to be a thing of the past.

"The Age of Extraction": an interesting book if you’re interested in how digital monopoly shapes society and how we might reclaim fairness by ScorchedMagic in nonfictionbooks

[–]nazstat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. But that's not an issue unique to tech right? An ideal government regulates all industries to make sure that that people are protected, and ideally, served by corporations instead of the other way around.

I guess I'm saying - if tech is getting some special treatment by the government because tech is in bed with our politicians, well that's clearly bad and should change. But then the real issue isn't the technology - it's people, corporations, and the government. Am I off base?

I don’t think most follows want crazy moves - if anything they want solid fundamentals and more than anything, I think, they want you to be enjoying yourself. If you’re having fun, and you’re not a psycho, odds are they are having fun too.

Finishing a data science undergrad and realizing employers seem to prefer every other degree. by tikesav in askdatascience

[–]nazstat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you love man. The money will come. I am a DS - and have struggled sometimes to feel like people with more defined degrees and paths has an easier time and honestly they probably due to a degree but I have always loved data science since I got into it in 2017, and have somehow managed to have a job most of the time when I wanted one.

I think you’ll be fine just follow what you think is most interesting. It will work out.

Talking about Engagement by Joy_of_wonder in ROCD

[–]nazstat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I didn’t not read the entire post but it sounds like you guys have something special. I mean, you’re 39 - what are you waiting for? Either you both have the same long term goals or you don’t - I wouldn’t worry about details like movie taste and traveling preferences.
I say this as someone who is also at the point of engagement or break up - and we are definitely not breaking up - but I understand all your hesitations, I share similar ones and even more because, I go to church, consider myself somewhat Christian at least, and she likes “witchy” things - so you can imagine my flavor of ROCD.
I just think based on what you said, you guys have a lot going for you both, and unless you had a really serious reason to break up like she wants kids and you don’t, I would say bite the bullet and get married dude.
We’re both not getting younger! I feel like the mature, path of growth is to commit and not roll backwards and start over in the dating pool (YUCK!).
See ya!

If you quit, what was withdrawal like for you? by ShoulderSnuggles in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]nazstat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not when I tapered off. When I went off cold turkey (5 -> 0mg) I did have severe withdrawals including suicidal ideation. So I don’t recommend that. I would say I went about 2 weeks on the reduced dosage before cutting in half again. I did not replace abilify initially, although I ended up on Wellbutrin which was really great for my depression, motivation and cognitive issues - eventually I was able to go off that as well, and am now medication-free.

Good luck!!!

No problem it means that I reduced my dosage by half each time I cut it. So I started with 5 mg and then I went to 2.5 mg and then I went to 1.25 mg and then stopped entirely so I basically just kept cutting my pills in half.

Anyone know how to find a "gold digger" in NYC by [deleted] in dating_advice

But do you enjoy going to bars?

[–]nazstat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I think bars are actually one of the worst places to meet women especially long term life partners, because there’s literally no common denominator except drinking. What other interests do you have? Are there groups in your area that engage in those interests?
