@RealPostFolder Face of depression tbh

@bluewmist Exercise usually feels great after the initial 10 min of slog. The key is to memorize the feeling and bring it up to plow through the decision to start

People who exercise even when they don't feel like it, what's your trick?

@mashkarikuss Это кстати мог быть как раз ненавязчивый отшив, где человек понимал, что делает)

периодически очень ржу с того факта, что чел написал мне что-то вроде "оооо, как круто, что ты со мной просто нормально общаешься, а то остальные девочки сразу в романтику лезут", а я переслала это сообщение подружкам со словами "так меня еще не отшивали" а потом КАК ПОНЯЛА

@tireduckquack У многих работа, где не особо надо думать, и действия повторяются, поэтому остаются силы на другое. Также люди сильно переоценивают, сколько они на самом деле ходят в качалку

Откуда у вас после работы берутся силы что-то делать? Качалки, уборки и пр. Я буквально встаю из-за рабочего стола и единственное на что мне хватает сил — доползти до кровати

@_Creation22 For a given N, you can compute the number of times each digit must appear in the full string, and total number of digits. Counting the real number of each digits gives you differences to find which ones are missing. Then another pass to compute permutations of a small string

One of the hardest problems I have seen asked in a phone screen round.

I read one more “today we are introducing x” and I am already nauseous

@cremieuxrecueil Important here is a prior? I believe in bro-eng cultures it’s more acceptable to share salaries among the guys. This is completely my own anecdotal xp, but I know the salaries of quite some men and no women, and many times girls refused to share them!

But in 2018, Hired changed things. Instead of seeing a blank to fill in, Hired added a default so people would see the typical asks for people with resumes and experiences like theirs.

Is hiring in engineering sexist? Do women who get offers for engineering roles get offered lower salaries due to their sex? Thanks to the hiring platform Hired, we might know the answer!

@venom1s Dude for every cheating woman there is a man who she is cheating with! (Lesbians aside who are btw like 50% of girls in Paris) In personal xp, French guys I’ve met are closest to indifferent on whether their sexual encounter is an act of cheating on their side or not!

> I simply posted that the French government has banned paternity testing for fathers > £15000 fine or 1 year imprisonment if they do it secretly > French women have one of the highest cheating rates > Just for that I got so much abuse and death threats from feminist women in quotes and replies. They want to cheat, sleep around, have kids with their lovers, and want innocent men to raise them as if they're their own. And when someone raises his voice against this injustice they attack him. I didn't say anything wrong. Still, I got hundreds of threats. Men are being treated like slaves in the modern world. Cucked by the world government.

@Colin_d_m The primary purpose of most state schools is agenda brainwashing and estrangement from the kid’s family

Homeschooling should be illegal. “But I teach my kids better than the state!” Doesn’t matter, the primary purpose of elementary/middle school isn’t to teach it’s to socialize your kid. You can’t do that alone. And this isn’t even mentioning how it can be used to abuse kids

@spacepunk It’s also quite puzzling that when you meet someone uniquely unloved (not even by themselves), they always explain actions of others towards them through the lens of sex or money - everyone wants to either sleep with them or take advantage of their money

I've been pondering quite a bit how the desires for sex and money seem to be unique sources of suffering. The price of the fall from the garden of Eden was painful childbirth and toiling in labor, which seem to be allegories to sex and money. These two things seem to be extraordinarily subject to a sort of hungry ghost-like misapprehension- if people have sex with me, they like me. If people give me money, they must like me. Its an unfortunate conditional because if one does not receive those things, they feel hated and scorened. But what if you were loved and valued unconditionally? AND it didnt involved fucking you or giving you money? You see this with monks who are celibate and not employed. Ceasing to chase sex and money genuinely Does Something to you. Sex is nice and money is nice, but people treat them as such life or death situations because they are ultimately SYMBOLS of something larger- being loved, being valued, being appreciated. I am not certain but maybe if you genuinely kill off the hungry ghosts, realize you actually always have been and will be loved independent of it being shown via money/sex, that might just be Eden

@vikhyatk Extra points if it comes from wandb and you spent half morning staring yourself and have no clue, but someone told you that the problem is always in the data (it is)

ML interview question: show them a random chart and asked what's happening. Ignore the fact that it could be a million different things. If they don't get the right answer in the first try, reject. You only want to hire lucky people.

@aedison It’s not that adhd had disabled him - it’s his employer who chose to lose a good performer over something fairly minor (what was he doing at 9 am anyway which was not doable at 9pm). Somehow I can smell that when the guy stayed at the office until 10, no one was unhappy

a friend of mine was the absolute top-performing employee at his job, blew everyone else away, and he was let go because he just *could not* get up in time to be in at 9am. all the early bedtimes, alarm clocks, phone calls and door knocks in the world couldn’t beat his ADHD

@byte_thrasher Just rename them to AGENTS.md

I have put a total ban on LLM-generated READMEs in my team. I can't take it anymore.

@camarraluca Was not it about tracking x!=-4 though

Was working on limits and continuity with a student this weekend. It's her second time taking Calculus 1. She knew her limit rules and techniques, factoring and rearranging the expression appropriately. Then she got to the very last step...

@DoctorPerin @FeistyKittyPie @NTFabiano They are also exactly the same thing

@NTFabiano Sex and aggression are the most underrated antidepressants

Sunlight is the most underrated antidepressant

@eigengenesis When the periodic table (laws) were discovered, the humanity knew much fever elements than 86, and had no idea there was an order. The only model you needed to « train » here was linear regression. The genius of Mendeleev was far beyond.

i trained my model on the first 86 elements of the periodic table and told it nothing about electrons, orbitals, or quantum mechanics. it rediscovered the structure of the periodic table and predicted the physical properties of unseen elements 87-118 with <10% error.

@powerbottomdad1 You never see people who don’t do anything publicly

why do AI people insist on doing everything publicly? seems like this industey is almost tolerant-to-a-fault. if you don't like the deal thats fine but why shout from the rafters you don't agree with your CEO or the government. just amazing self-importance on display

@norpadon Love the normie concept of pretraining / posttraining I’ve seen a couple of times (scientific articles / normie stuff like Reddit)

Nothing is more fun than having normies lecture me on how LLMs work while explaining why they can’t possibly be capable of doing things which they in fact do on a routine basis

@din_alt1 В Париже есть)

Я не понимаю, почему в аэропортах нет бесплатных питьевых фонтанчиков хотя бы, учитывая, как они морят тут людей часами

@acquisizioni Chill out

My intern (future analyst) just came to me with a “problem”… He got a “nice” watch as a present recently and told himself he wouldnt wear it until he got a full time job. I gave him a job. The problem? He just noticed our MD has the exact same watch and he thinks it will “send the wrong message” if they are wearing the same watch. What advice can we offer this young, nervous buck?
