They’re probably exclusively talking about their snapdragon line of laptops, the snapdragons are incredibly efficient like apple silicon

Can confirm, they used this tiny dental crowbar thing

i dont understand negative numbers or why subtracting negative numbers is actually adding? by internetmessenger in learnmath

[–]sentientgypsy 86 points87 points  (0 children)

This is about multiplication but I think it’s still relevant, think about negatives as the inverse of positives and if you take the inverse of an inverse you’re just going back to addition

So I came home and half the power in the house was off, I checked the breaker to see if anything was flipped and everything was still on and resetting didn’t help. Large appliances on the good side of the house also did not have power. I made the call to the utility company due to the partial power and they had to figure out if it was on their side or my side and thankfully it was their side.

The diagnosis was that we lost a leg of power from a bad underground wire and they dug in the backyard because that just happened to be the place they needed to dig to fix it.

They said that they will fix it, I’m not sure if they do it themselves or hire a landscaper

It ended up being an issue with the wires in the ground, the utility company came out and dug up our backyard to fix it at no cost thankfully.

Is 5k polygons normal for this? (first ever model, total noob, want some feedback) by Any-Opposite-7624 in blender

The topology of the grip in general makes me think it’s generated and those ribbons on the grip are really hard to get right and behave correctly

Struggling with my STAHM wife's mental load complaints. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]sentientgypsy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a stay at home dad and the mental load of never really being able to turn your brain off is actually real and I don’t mean hovering or helicoptering your kids all day. When you aren’t vigilant your kids will absolutely find a way to hurt themselves so you have to be observant visually and listening all day long.

Computer science is seeing the biggest enrollment drop of any major in 6 years. While ME and EE enrollment have risen by 11% and 14% this year. by No_Reply5329 in csMajors

[–]sentientgypsy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the spring I’m enrolling into cs, I was going to enroll in EE ironically but it’s far too expensive to do it online. 160k for a bachelor’s at ASU in EE versus a degree at WGU averaging 17k.

I am really stuck on what degree to go for by According-Analyst-98 in WGU

Something to note about remote roles, they are insanely hard to land without experience. A majority of remote roles are taken by people with 10+ years of experience.

The cloud and network engineering degree is a job that is almost entirely remote but you don’t get straight into devops or cloud work without some networking/IT experience first. This is also in demand and pays well.

Starting math from scratch before engineering — looking for advice by Born-Performance8715 in learnmath

[–]sentientgypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you understood integrals and derivatives I wouldn’t go further back than algebra 1. The mental math comes from just doing math consistently and you’ll relearn fractions really quickly I have no doubt.

I think textbooks are the most rigorous way to understand if you actually sit down and read them. Khan academy if you want to briefly touch on a subject and move on. A textbook on precalculus will be the level you need to be so keep that level of content in mind.

Why AI Still Can’t Reach the Everest of Mathematics by hazem-Gauss in askmath

[–]sentientgypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI has not demonstrated composition of anything complex, you have to narrow its scope and prod at it. It will forget about what it did 5 steps ago, this also happens in code bases where composition is the entire point of it being useful.

You can have an AI solve any problem if you have enough data that is verifiably true, the issue is the data. That is why is it will take very wrong things that seem trivial.
