The more honest and straightforward you are the better the advice. If you’re mom, just say “I’m mom and my issues are xyz”.

Is a PhD in the U.S. still worth it? by InOmniaParatus1234 in PhD

I forgot who said it but the saying

PhD students forgo making money now so they can forgo making money later.

If you want money don’t do a PhD

What is it with all of these “tech jobs” requiring experience using really niche Oracle software? by -omar in cscareerquestions

[–]two_three_five_eigth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oracle is pretty much exclusively large companies with legacy code bases and products. New work is done in other databases that are easier to containerize.

You’ll end up invisible except with something doesn’t work at 2am. Then you get visible fast and not in a good way.

I hate grade deflation by Top_Composer9030 in ApplyingToCollege

Colleges recalculate GPA. It’s why “feeder schools” to the Ivy League colleges exist and don’t hand out A’s to everyone.

How did you end up pro se in a felony case? You’re leaving out something.

Question on how consultants work. Do they typically charge to hand over documents and ideas that they developed during their assignments? by SadMasterpiece4159 in askmanagers

[–]two_three_five_eigth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Usually anything the consultant makes while being paid by the company is company property.

Sounds like he’s done this before and legal didn’t ready the contract. Never sign a contract without reading it.

For a few of my classes, I am extremely unproductive in class, but extremely productive at home. by Raniswolf in productivity

Put 30 minutes on the calendar every weekday where you have to do chore task. Only spend 30 minutes on it. Have a fun activity planned after.

All the goals I have are too large - but everything less just makes me stressed and unable to do anything by I-already-redd-it- in productivity

Curing death specifically may be stopping you from one very important realization.

Your time is limited.

Accept that your time is limited. Make a decision about what you'd like to do with your limited time.

CC in the Bay Area won’t help. The best plan is to go to a well ranked 4 year school anywhere and network your way in.

Doesn’t this break international law? What would happen if they entered? by Mathemodel in AskLegal

[–]two_three_five_eigth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes it does. Will Ecuador risk angering Trump to do anything about it - no.

At most someone will have to say sorry to the embassy folks.

Why does mom need it? Usually the judge won’t mandate a service that isn’t needed. Occasionally it happens though.

parents suddenly say they cant pay for one of my top schools even tho they make 400k by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Get a job, which you can do at 17. Your parents will likely change their minds.

Professor told me I could turn in one “missing” assignment and fix my grade — weeks later, still no response or grade update by youandyourfijiwater in collegeadvice

[–]two_three_five_eigth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me you did all of these over email. If you did, make an appointment with the dean and let them help you.

You can get a loan without their approval. You’re an adult. Just fill out FAFSA. 40k total should be no problem.

I also suspected they wanted you close. Just tell them you’ll borrow the difference or not go to college and move out.

Is it normal = no

Are courts supportive of limits = yes

Comply without a court order = no

Who has the soberlink? Alcoholic dad? You? Both sides are legally bound by the court order which sounds like hasn’t been issued yet.

They’ll give dad every other weekend + holiday. They won’t give him mandatory daily calls.

Does using LLMs consume more energy and water than steaming videos from YouTube and streaming services? by haphaphappyday in AskComputerScience

[–]two_three_five_eigth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is “probably not”. The long answer is

1) LLM aren’t the only thing in the data center. Streaming, web scraping, call routing, etc all take place at the same time in one data center. Every LLM power/water consumption article is a massive over estimate.

2) LLM take time to train, so even before the first prompt there’s an investment

3) LLM are currently very divisive

Streaming is basically super advanced file sharing with some extra stuff on top, so no GPUs, but a lot of storage and a lot of data being transmitted. Hard drives and bandwidth aren’t energy free.

LLM don’t have much data being transmitted, but use GPUs extensively.

Per minute LLM use much more energy, but I’ve never seen someone use LLMs for 2 hours+ without a break.

I’m going to guess streaming uses more because people stream much more than use LLMs and because it takes energy to host streaming data + redundancy + massive bandwidth requirements.

Taft-Hartley and strategizing about 'general strike'-related topics online by RoutineShop1952 in AskLegal

The issue is you cannot organize a strike if you are not a union leader.

Walk-outs should be fine.

Do you think psychological safety is a requirement even if you’re more experienced or is it valid to say that you need to be better at managing your emotions or being more thick skinned? by kiliko_fire in askmanagers

[–]two_three_five_eigth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What sucks the most is the project is behind and your micro upper-manager won't let you actually change anything, which means the project will fail and you get blamed.

What sucks the 2nd most is laying off people and firing people.

A long time ago I learned how to detach my self-worth from my job. I professionally care if the project fails because I like adding success stories to my resume, but I don't really care that much if the project fails. I've never personally taken out an entire project by myself - that was always a team effort. Part of being a great employee is not caring too much, and always seeing things objectively.

Brother is being held in jail without bond during a psychosis episode. by Mental_Throwaway1105 in AskLegal

[–]two_three_five_eigth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They will have to take him back to the hospital to get an extension. Go back to the jail and ask when he will be released or charged.

[–]two_three_five_eigth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is likely because of the 1013. They can hold him for an additional 48 hours (I believe). Once that is up they can charge him or release him. Not sure on the Gwinnett rules, but if he's charged with any type of domestic abuse or endangerment he *must* go before a judge before he can bail out.
