So you created a new spam account... I'll answer when you and OP do.

I would probably wait until a year goes by without any significant advancement, at the very least before making such an effort.

Then become a bartender if that's what you want. I know several plumbers, electricians, welders, etc. that make six figures.

I'm not saying that nobody can use it or consider it... I'm only saying a lot of people literally cannot/should-not. For example, I'm currently working for a local government office on elections management software... I

There's also plumbing, a/c and electrical work... general repairman stuff, etc. Assuming you're okay working hands on and potentially in more stressful environments (weather). I'm largely with Mike Rowe on this one... i

It definitely takes a certain personality type to be good at it. Empathy, discipline, self-control and infectiously friendly. On the plus side, men do have an advantage regarding size/strength in terms of being able to help disabled p

Look out for organizations in your state, similar to what happened with Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA)... I knew about it a few years before the 2007 settlement as my ex-wife an dMIL were working for a Nurse staffing c

Are you a Chinese national, or otherwise paid by China?

by tracker1 3mo ago
Never said any such thing... China is willing to abuse anyone and everyone including its own people to get ahead in global markets and to leverage any position of dominance possible. They have an absolute history of competition as a fascis

At this point, I'm kinda meh on it all... Today's Disney, Amazon/MGM and Netflix productions, not to mention Apple, Sony and others are far from the old guard in terms of competition... Paramount-Warner would be relatively h

Are you being paid by China? First you accuse me of simply speaking as a financial benefactor, then you totally shift the conversation into something that doesn't refute what I said. If you let a model spin too much, you get worse res

I have an 18yo bill for a medical lab, and I still get my regular bloodwork there... It gets brought up now and then on current visits, and I just say, "I'm not paying that bill." As to the why, it's because I switched

LOL.. neither... but good luck on your standup career with jokes by literal monkeys.

How much compute does the cheap model require to operate? Power + hardware amortized over a couple years.

by tracker1 3mo ago
Giving a literal monkey the ability to press more keys faster doesn't get a good joke from it. A model will often come up with worse results given more cycles of compute, only because it will tailspin from second guesses, rethinking an

It's a western site in English where a bulk of users are in the US, which has an adversarial relationship to the US... where many working in IT aren't even allowed to consider Chinese services or products directly (even if what yo

Are they more playable if the server is in the nearest coast compared to the middle of the US? If you're in the US, for something like AI inference, then RTT within the continental US is probably reasonable. Similar is likely true th

I've had a few bad experiences... massive delayed deliveries and products that are just DOA. I've stopped buying anything through them and will just pay the extra from Amazon or other domestic options.

It's still possible, but how worth it is up to individuals... IMO the biggest loss is accessibility.

I wish that rather than the closed govt medical programs we have... we simply funded a public, non-profit health insurance provider that is motivated by fiduciary responsibility, but not profit driven. While this may seem heartless as some

The collection laws also vary from state to state on this... in some states, medical collections are all but toothless, short of actually filing a lawsuit, which isn't likely, except some facilities actually have staff lawyers willing

Fortunately, out of pocket for relatively normal dental care isn't too bad... probably because Dental insurance doesn't really help much and often easier to just pay out of pocket.. though do shop around if you do so.

I've had to go through this with treatments for my eyes... that I haven't been able to see a doctor on for about a year and a half because as a contractor my insurance sucks and even when I've had good insurance it was often

I'm mostly OK with Data Centers.. my biggest issues are the tax breaks and the electricity usage should be funded by the data centers themselves. Giving 100% property tax breaks and preferred energy rates is kind of ridiculous in the

There's already cases where Google and I'd assume others are designing chips to work with specific models more efficiently in coordination... Personally, I could even see more specialty models called/coordinated from the larg

I think part of it is definitely to weaken US providers and the US economy as a whole. China has a completely different domestic economic structure and motivations from western cultures... it's probably closest to a fascist economy mi

Offline and pull based backups FTW... This is why I advocate for a pull or at least push/pull model for backups... where the remote system pulls backups out of your production environment, or otherwise from a drop point. Because a co

Funny, I've gotten into using the VS Code extensions a lot.. I liked the Azure SQL Manager or whatever it was called based on Code as well... I do wish the Microsoft Extensions for SQL were more in line with other database managers th
