I was diagnosed with migraine as a kid when I was 10. The doctor made me undergo a battery of tests including a contrast CT scan that consumed aj entire day, only to confirm at the end of the day that it was migraine. The migraines weren&#x

I have a problem similar to what OP faced but with an NVIDIA GPU (RTX 4080). When I wake the computer from suspend, the computer will usually wake up, show me the timestamp changing on the lock screen. But sometimes randomly, the timestamp

Look at it this way. Even OpenAI uses their own models' output to train subsequent models. They do pay for a lot of manual annotations but also use a lot of machine generated data because it is cheaper and good enough, especially from

In my experience, some projects are very suited to discovery coding. For my Machine Learning projects, I usually run a bunch of experiments either using pytest or directly on jupyter. I tend to plot out stuff and try out different types of

How do you meet these people, and more importantly sell yourself to them so they are willing to take you on?

Is it so? I imagine trading worked this way upto the late 90s, but today with algos running the show, is it still true?

I wonder why the jobs demand such long hours. Where are the deadlines coming from? Is there something in the banking sector that necessitates this level of pressure and work hours or is it a problem of the "partner-model" where a

What explains South Korea's turbulent political history in contrast with their business dominance and relative stability? Looking at the number of presidents they have gone through and the way their terms ended, if you blanked out the

"Have a society where people like this can't get a foot-hold in the first place" - How does one build this society? This is not meant as snark. Building a system that prevents sharks from getting a hold while also not prevent

The difference is that UH CEO's decisions did have consequences. His policies resulted in people not getting the care they were supposed to get (allegedly as per online media, I do not have any direct information or source for this). G

There is no need for gun ownership. Vigilante justice is quite popular (both the idea as well as actual instances) in many poor countries (if not most). When dysfunctional or outright malicious institutions have pissed off enough people, yo

Yes, I worded that incorrectly. What I meant was Abe didn't directly wrong the killer (AFAIK), he just happened to be the most public supporter of the church and paid for it with his life.

by rakejake 2y ago
Correct me If I am wrong but Abe was assassinated because the killer thought he was associated with a church that left his family destitute[1]. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinzo_Abe#Assassination

Depends. If one had been planning to shift tracks earlier in life but something got in the way, there would be some disappointment that the window for that track had passed. But your narrative implicitly signals acceptance of one's sta

Less competent in what? The people with decision-making power are supposed to be good at some combination of product innovation, product management, sales, marketing and accounting. ICs are only suited to making some decisions in the first

I don't think the OP is talking about whether to focus on running the race or not, but rather which race to run. As you grow older, the number of open tracks diminishes and that is the point the OP is trying to make. While one can chan

Yes, I do find that a lot of people get caught in whatever race they started running in the beginning of their careers and don't care to stop for a bit and try retrospecting/introspecting. I recently took a break from work with th

Yes, "generational poverty" seems like a very strong term for something like this and is definitely incorrect contextually. The family background seems squarely middle class to me, nowhere near poverty.

As an Indian who also moved back a couple years back, I do agree that most people don't think about what "they" want, and whether it is possible to achieve it without moving. I know I didn't when it was my turn to move a

A long dormant side project of mine to design a realtime raga [1] detector. For the uninitiated, it can be roughly seen as detection of a sequence of musical notes. Raga is a term for a particular scale of notes (both ascending and descendi

I believe at one point, you could make it to Senior at Google and then never move up i.e it was considered ok to stay there. Staff/Senior Staff were somewhat rare, Principal was insane and anything beyond that meant you were special to

The usual retort to this is of the form "this is a privileged position to take. People who drive cabs, work construction and clean drains can't even think of this". I agree, but we should recognize that we are moving more and

Not sure why this thread got consumed by a strawman that "Most people running businesses are stupid/incompetent". That is obviously not true. What I have realized is that most employees never do even a basic analysis of their

Excellent post. Having an institution/career represent your passions, ambitions and most importantly your community is an immense luxury. For the rest of us, it definitely makes more sense to put roots down in one place, build up commu
