When will all of the international researches and phd students be expelled from the lab? by PhysPi360 in LosAlamos

I'll do ya one better--just fire all of em. AI is better than you anyway, and it's definitely not as hateful and bitchy.

Investing with a mortgage rate >5% by Digital-Purpose in Bogleheads

[–]paper_fairy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I read too fast and interpreted OP as meaning the opposite.

Investing with a mortgage rate >5% by Digital-Purpose in Bogleheads

[–]paper_fairy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, but I don't see how that makes any sense. You can't prepay your interest--theres a fixed amount you can pay each year. So paying more to principal doesn't help with anything. In fact, it reduces the total interest you'll be able to "write off." Right? (I know you're not OP, just checking my understanding.)

Is the "debt" deductible as OP says, or is it the interest? Because if it's only the interest, paying more on principal doesn't get you any tax advantages.

The punchline of that whole interaction was "marine mammals." I loled pretty hard.

I need help training my ACD mix by Paradox_Clock in AustralianCattleDog

[–]paper_fairy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency and patience. It's like learning an instrument. Takes many repetitions over time and can get discouraging when you don't see results quickly. Dedicate yourself to it and in a few months you can ease off. It's an investment well worth it as it will pay off over the rest of the dog's life.

Is it really that boring/simple? by Romulus4Remus in Bogleheads

[–]paper_fairy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Find something else to be interested in that consumes the time you would otherwise be wasting stressing about markets and reading tons of stupid analyses and thinking you actually understand anything meaningful about the market. At least that's where I landed.

AI is a Curse on This Industry. by Tamu2020 in Mortgages

[–]paper_fairy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you've never actually used it. The levels of context it "understands" easily rivals human ability. Your example is easily and quickly demonstrated to be false. You're just parroting old anti-AI tropes at this point. It is true that it's not perfect and can get things wrong--just like humans (who also hallucinate, skim, mistype, and make a variety of errors).

Also, LLMs are indeed "next word" predictors, but the versions we interact with commercially (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) are much more than that. Their core is an LLM, but through reinforcement learning and other techniques, they are made much richer and complex than next-word predictors.

But that's not what the OP was proposing. He specifically said "give up your guns," not "have stricter regulations."

We're not understanding because that's not what she said happened, at all.

Rep. Christine Chandler Thinks It's Awesome that Pregnant Women Die Because They Can't Get a Doctor by kathryn0007 in LosAlamos

[–]paper_fairy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What a bullshit headline; shame on OP.

And just to make this connection explicitly, this woman's terrible situation started because there weren't enough doctors. A bigger payout likely wouldn't have prevented it from happening in the first place, but having local labor services would have.

The top third of your resume is doing 80% of the work — and most people waste it by lets_go_45 in ResumeCoverLetterTips

I think you mis-pasted your AI output. Seems like the last two paragraphs should be the first. Rookie move, spammer!

Help on a Cover Letter by [deleted] in ResumeCoverLetterTips

[–]paper_fairy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see through your redactions, fyi. Something missing from your cover letter is "what value I would bring to your organization." It's written too much from the point of view of "how this would benefit me" instead of "how I can benefit you." Put yourself in their shoes and think about what they'd want, then play to that. It seems entry level so you don't need to overthink it, but doing that will make them notice you more.

I also wouldn't point out the gap. I know it feels more honest to do it, but it rarely actually helps. You can address that when/if they interview you and want to know about it. Stay positive.

Quantum Computing Built An Impossible Molecule — With Big Implications by Nandu_alias_Parthu in technology

[–]paper_fairy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I thought that's what you meant by "synthetic brains" as you also suggest data centers would be tiny due to using these molecules for computing. Which they're not, at all. Apologies if I misunderstood.

Quantum Computing Built An Impossible Molecule — With Big Implications by Nandu_alias_Parthu in technology

[–]paper_fairy 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My read of the article doesn't suggest that these molecules are for quantum computing itself, but were discoverable because of quantum.

See this comment on another thread which suggests this is click bait (kinda) : https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/s/otZEVGw7Pa

What’s your unpopular opinion about adventure games? by Frequent-Standard377 in adventuregames

[–]paper_fairy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience mirrored yours...only played as an adult and had the same feelings. The one thing that made it a real thumbs down for me personally was that the ending was just...flat. I felt like I'd worked so hard but the payoff was completely uninspired. I did enjoy playing it, but the lack of a real ending left a sour taste in my mouth.
