The worst part about being employed is that you have to go to work even if your tummy hurts. Cruel world

I've always thought CRTs sound like insane future technology
They involve an electron gun!

If your child is struggling to read at grade level or at all, KEEP READING!

Let them see you read. Talk about what you read, what they read. Reread their favorite books. Read them aloud! Have them read the physical book while listening to and reading along with the audiobook.

Holy shit this is unreal they're actually offering me this role. I never thought I'd actually end up here. This has been my dream job since I was like 17
Had my interview today for an asic design position (:
I almost certainly didnt get the job but with the interviewers I did well with it was a great feeling to have all the answers. Also, now I know what to study for next time 🫡

oh look its me
"Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1% and 7.5% respectively ...

That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates, which is just 3%"

The mechanics of elements of a complex system are one thing. Emergent behavior from enormous volumes of complex interactions are another.

I haven't yet seen an explanation at a higher level than just said mechanics. Nor even discussions of prior work in ontologies, for instance, just tensors, etc
the program is tokenizing inputs into vectors, then doing matrix multiplication to probabilistically compute which token should follow those tokens.

as usual, you are mystified by systems beyond your understanding and come to a bad conclusion (coincidentally the one you know will get you yelled at)

Knowing that people feel this way is a big part of why I feel intense enough shame producing any kind of art that I never finish any artistic project.
Most people are better than this, I think, but idk
"oh actually producing bad art is still worthwhile because it feels nice to create something" you are a hack polluting the world with slop just like AI is, Verdi phoning in a commission to buy his 19th Italian estate had more talent in his pinky than you do in your entire body
