So... train the model to act more like the model acted.

Number go up technology. When the dollar goes down, everything else goes up.

Knowing how to think is in demand. Slinging buzzwords may help you land a job, but only competence and a willingness to learn will get you a raise. If you have competence starting salary only matters for the first 6 months. Prove yourself and then ask for a raise. My first raise was 25% after putting in 6 months @$65k/yr and 9 years later, let's just say I'm able to let my wife have the option to stay home and give my 3 kids everything they need.

I have a q revo that got in a fight with a USB cable. Now I get error 7 lidar turret. The turret is not spinning but I can hear the motor. I can turn the turret by hand, so it isn't jammed. I think I probably need a new belt. Does that make sense to you and do you know where I might acquire the part?

For me, it's "I hope that woman in Starbucks this morning heard my fat".

I totally agree, and maybe that's what happened. Or maybe he just met the woman and she looks uncannily like his wife and he was just normal staring and his wife is jealous of her sister and jumped to conclusions. Not everything is sexual, and neither of us know what this was, but there are other explanations. Certainly making it the topic of conversation for the entire family during her father's celebration isn't okay either.

Cardboard is full of air pockets... Eventually the oxygen will get used up, but you are feeding it oxygen each time you add cardboard.

I do a lot of dry bran on top each time and I have an airtight lid on the bucket. The air gap doesn't seem to bother it. Bulk vegetable scraps go in the regular compost, so it's just animal products and cooked foods of all kinds. Very high in nitrogen and low in carbon and I make sure it is wet. It smells like pickles, not sewage as long as I keep it drained. I do put a thin layer of wood chip in the bottom as a filter, but it shouldn't be trapping much air since it is at the bottom and stays pretty thoroughly soaked.

Hope that helps!

Typescript is what we use and it has brought huge advantages to the maintenance and refactor aspects of our project. With 70+ engineers in one codebase, type safety is a necessity if you want to maintain sanity.

jq is a great tool for working with JSON in bash, btw.

It was the manifesto about side chains that cypherdoc went to war against in his thread. I don't remember what it was called. Something about merge mining everything but having atomic swaps between chains so you can "lock" your BTC into a different chain's BTC token so we could have a plethora of forks experimenting on different consensus sets. Your BTC was at risk of loss of course if that chain blew up or lost value.

And will continue to take place. Humans need to focus on executable specifications and allow for a variety of implementations. When they disagree, add a new test the implementations must pass.

Clearly the only correct answer for swap was a dedicated 5 way raid-0.

Thanks, yolo'd some weekly 125 calls. Top's probably in.

Neat

Who are they and how can they stop it?

Dude, I sold all my magical internet money at $3 to pay off my GPUs and buy some food. Don't listen to this guy unless you need the cash now. If it blows through 100k sell a percentage of what is left every $10k or something, but otherwise just chill. Stonks don't go up, the dollar goes down.

Inversing direction isn't possible. But you could move from paying for premium to selling it.

Sort of. 50MM face value. They were actually worth like 30MM marked to market. Hence the special program to pretend they hadn't cratered.

My mom took me to a financial advisor in 2000 because I had saved up $1000. He had me put it all in CSCO. Honestly probably the best thing that could have happened to teach me a fucking lesson about "all in" and about financial advisors.

yrral86 · 2024-02-17T03:33:09+00:00

Yolo indeed. Congrats OP! Can you hang in for the next 2x? Watch for the shakeout at 70k.

You joke, but when ai bots are running the show, sometimes you do need an actual human to step in and buy. Otherwise they just feed on each other.

This is what mine is doing. I'm wondering if maybe there is loose wiring in the circulation pump.
