It’s just the model.

You might tangentially download the code to train a new model from scratch or update the model you received.

The important bit is that the training data is HUGE and the model is not.

You don’t need the training set available to run the model.

The thing I’m looking forward to is having one voice for all language options.

We do fixed price contracts but in my experience the accounting works out such that the partners leading the work are incentivized to negotiate internally to get the best people they can, not maximize the margin with the cheapest folks available. I can’t say staffing as many junior people as possible resonates.

Maybe at a body shop like Accenture though.

I do consulting. I’m always confused when people state that hiring new grads from top universities, having established frameworks, and having experienced people lead projects is a bad thing.

I love hiring new grads.

I’m laughing at the image of dudes jerking it in a dark room thankful that porn has freed them of unwanted relationships.

So why don’t they send kamikaze ftl ships? Or rocks?

But any dumbass can observe that you can control gravity, that gravity can be used to launch projectiles as weapons?

No half life is very dumb. The aliens invade using largely small arms weapons. It is called the 7 hour war because a guy surrenders on behalf of earth after 7 hours.

If anyone imagines fighting alien invaders with small arms they’re already stupidly out of touch.

That’s dumb sci fi logic though. Aliens don’t need deep ocean FTL fuel. If you can move matter at the speed of light, you have the capability to kill everything on earth very easily.

And how do our machine guns fare against a single ship traveling at the speed of light colliding with the earth?

Teeth aren’t exactly the top priority but stem cell research could regenerate vital organs. It’s very much an area of active research. It’s just hard.

Breakthrough Starshot is about sending a couple grams of tech on a multi decade journey. We are very far from having the tech to do this. You’re right. They don’t technically need to be FTL capable. But the rest of it remains. You’ll need an immense amount of energy move this far.

If you can get balloons into earth safely, you can also just pelt the planet with big chunks of metal at speeds more deadly than nuclear explosions.

Utter nonsense. This would be a FTL alien civ. A civilization with many orders of magnitude more energy available. And manufacturing capabilities. And AI. And many other things. They’re not gonna send a stupid balloon. They’re not going to care about a balloon. It’s inconceivable that a civ could get here and not also have the ability to manufacture such basic technology on an enormous scale very easily.

People need to understand that if you’re being attacked by a FTL capable alien invader, you are so incredibly f**ed that it just does not matter.

People don’t write popular sci fi novels about realistic alien invasions because they would be so utterly one sided and brief that it simply wouldn’t make a good story.

Until the frequency of it escalates into a damaging economic conflict.

Seems like a stretch to imply holding police accountable for brutality is a due process issue.

Can’t just clone them. Gotta grow them in your mouth with stem cells.

Then it’ll be found and the consequences of having launched a nuclear weapon at the United States will be incurred for no gain whatsoever. That is to say, 0% chance. That would be unfathomably dumb.

Those crafty Germans must have timed this one to go off in 2023.

The problem with police brutality is not that it’s commonplace, but that there are no repercussions for it. If blatantly abusive cops were held accountable the issue would not be as problematic.

Imo I remember it very well. At least conceptually. History is the hardest.

I took 11 AP tests, 3 of them without taking the class over two years. My teachers were generally not PhDs but think these classes were better than my undergrad classes. I suspect you are right on the hard science assessment. Those do require simply memorizing many facts. I avoided those classes.

You are asking for recommendations and they probably don’t have anything. They’re not going to say that. So you get things you don’t want and things you have already seen.

I mean yeah. I sat in the front. I listened and took no notes.

If you’re being tested on details from a book you need to read the book. Think English tests that really just want to Make sure you actually read.

If you’re being tested on the gist of what was taught then you can probably just pay attention in class. Think… biology or history.

If you’re being tested on your ability to apply things you just need to be confident in your understanding of the mechanics. If you understand a math formula, and it’s reasoning, there’s not often a need to practice it. Some exceptions apply where the math is just weird hacks and patterns like finding function roots or calculus patterns. Physics is pretty hard for people because it really asks you to be able to apply things to real world thinking. I recall a question that requires you to consider the distance to the moon to get an answer. This distance was not provided. If you understood the formula and the problem, it was apparent that the distance would be so large it would not affect the answer. Hard to study for.

This game interested me but I just couldn’t get into it. A shame. It felt like what DayZ wanted to be but never became.

As someone who neither took notes nor studied for basically anything I disagree. I cannot study effectively. I would cram some facts in 30 minutes prior to a test and that’s it. I don’t think I was alone. It had nothing to do with looking uncool.

Most stuff is simply taught in class and if you pay attention and remember it you will be fine. Teachers tend not to test stuff they did not teach.

I always thought studying was for kids who either did not pay attention or wasted their time taking notes without actually learning. I’ve softened that opinion since but many people absolutely do not need to study much.

You’ve listed a bunch of facts here which are generally true but they don’t mean anything in regards to whatever point you’re trying to make.

My point is simply that it’s reasonable to make cost benefit analyses when deciding end of life care, and that you’re not an asshole for doing so.

Damn that’s cheaper than 10 mobiks

I feel like yes, you would get options in your contract. But it doesn’t matter. The legality of this isn’t why it’s stupid. It’s the immense bad will from a class of poor students that are already doing a ton of work for very little. They would effectively now be asking students to pay to work.

Organized labor is coming for grad students.

How did this game work? It seems like it was a QTE game with no prompts. Why was it popular?
