@yacineMTB I have one day left of unemployment to play factorio

I"M FUCKING ADDICTED TO VIDEO GAMES AGAIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@yacineMTB I think most could design, less could build, and even less could design with building in mind.

My bar for mechanical engineers is whether I think they could design and build a manual hand crank sewing machine if I put them in a basement with all the tools they needed for a month

@Xaraphim Factorio adjacent, for sure

if u think factorio is addicting try eve online (don’t play eve online) player run economy where people scam billions of isk from each other corps wage actual wars over resources, and you can lose years of progress in one fight i just logged into my old burner account if i had claude access back then i would have never left the house this game is filled with evil people btw don’t recommend (it’s addictive)

yeahhhh anyone in the know i have a feeling this slide moves the piece at an undetermined rate

@spiffyml hmm. i'll do that. but using sota directly without thinking seems a little shady 😅

starting with codeforces was so easy. but how does one start with kaggle?

@sumitdotml Overall wasn’t too bad, the technical I went through was reimplementing K-Means clustering, I think I got lucky (would rather overstudy tho)

@spiffyml same train haha

ML interview has me stressing so bad I’m computing the gradients of loss functions by hand smh

Do I get bonus points on a technical interview for schmooving with vim or….

@EsotericCofe Crossover -> script that resets the free trial install date (and bottle date) to the day before current launch every time you launch

it is extremely painful to play old steam games on mac I need to run Windows in Parallels and then run the game. this is quite painful for my M1 pro

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line. Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).
