The effects of light might be skewed because we have gained some survival instincts from evolution, and the natural daylight goes through a cycle of colours that could have direct subconscious reactions.

I generally do agree with you though.

I have a feeling if you “game this out” beforehand it might result in the opposite. In my humble opinion I would just ask her out.

Btw let’s be clear, not an easy thing to ask someone out and it will be awkward (was for me too). But no matter what happens, it’s always better when everyone is on the same page.

I’m gonna go ahead and agree with the other comments.

I’m gonna ignore any future projections on where both fields are headed, but basically if you would apply for them rn, software development leaves the nature of your future job out in the open and basically opens you up with a huge number of opportunities.

The AI one sounds cool too, but as someone who works in a company focused on research in CS-related fields, I can tell you the skillset you are required to have in order to implement AIs in any way is vastly different from software development. You lean even more into math, things stay more theoretical and academic a lot of the time and AI also forces you to think more unconventional and counter-intuitively. Now this is not in itself a bad thing, but it does narrow you down to that very specific field and it does not sound like you wanna dig yourself down another rabbit hole of a profession.

Only do AI if you are really keen to do it and you are happy even if you might be stuck in that specific field later on.

TL;DR go software development. AI doesn’t sound like a fit for you from what I could gather.

P.s. you can always fuck with AIs in your free time if you want. That’s more fun anyway.

Honestly, no. I do know English, however the syntax is always very far removed from actual sentences and learning how to use the syntax is way different from how languages work.

That said, you’re kinda porked when it comes to reading through documentations, APIs, and watching tutorials, as most of them are in English.

I do have about 2 friends though who can code and are not particularly versed in English.

Have been living together with my brother with only one wall in between that has nothing in between and let me tell you: two drywalls with air in between resonates just right on a mechanical keyboard at 2am. Now obviously floors have quite different standards even just when it comes to the load they have to carry, but that said, there’s things that make it better and worse. Carpets can be good, dampening in between is good, putting little silicon plates in between stuff that connects to the floor is also good.

And then ofc if they decided to start dropping pianos on the daily, that might make a difference.

Either way, talking to them is probably the best option. There’s not really much you can do about noise from the floor above you.

Bathing salts, a chair cushion, a calendar, a cooking book, slippers and some chocolate.

It all sounds random but what makes them good presents is that I have reason to believe my family actually wants those things.

That said, I think next time I’ll be giving less thought into it because apparently half my family would like to stop with the presents cause they feel like they don’t need more shit and also don’t like being obligated to buy stuff for other people. Fair enough, but if it’s small things I still like gifting stuff.

1h in, we’ve got a few possible answers. I guess you lost the bet?

A game where there’s a mundane task like fishing or gardening, but it gets kinda minigame-y and trippy and it branches into maybe some kind of either party game or some other super complex shit. The closest someone has come to this was with Dave the diver.

It is legend that will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

Tbh this rule hasn’t been an issue for me. I cite him for his quote on politics and I still respect a lot of the geniuses who work for him. I really don’t share his views, but ppl can be skilled and still suck with what they’re saying. I love PCs and the internet, but ppl will never be binary.

I mean ppl usually say that you’re only alive when you feel good and bad emotions, and when you’re hurting sometimes as well. So I assume making some mistakes, being wrong, feeling things, being exposed to stuff, that’s all “living”. And sitting in your room following daily patterns a lot, no change in behaviour or routine, that’s all the “dying” part.

But at the end of the day it’s all subjective and it really depends on your focus in life and your definitions.

Totally agree. Looks like the whole argument was the OpenAI board firing Altman over his safety concerns but unexpectedly the whole team shared his concerns.

But iirc return YouTube dislike extrapolates only for the videos where it doesn’t have enough data. So for new videos it can record the amount of dislikes through the extension, which makes it far more accurate (although the sample size is still a little bit smaller than it was on YouTube).

What you’re describing in 3. is the exact reason why I said “build software from scratch” btw. Some software just will never work properly or never work period. And usually, every Linux compatible software can technically do 80% of the stuff you need, but even that takes 10x the time and effort. I’m talking 3d applications like AutoCAD, cinema4d, DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton, video cutting like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere Pro, and this is not even talking about use cases where there’s highly specific, proprietary or custom software.

You either use Windows, or you pay with your time, effort and sanity.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a data scientist and software Dev and I know there are good reasons why Linux should be the golden standard. But I’m also a realist and while I love the idea of what Linux’ goal is, it’s a really hard sell for most non computer science people.

Jinjer - Pisces

Although it’s not a comedic song in itself, when the chorus kicks in, the cognitive dissonance of that mismatching voice is funny. But then after 5 listens you are just impressed because it sounds good. And that made me unironically listen to it more and I put it in my playlist, recognizing the depth of the lyrics and that unique feeling of the song.

That’s btw 1 of 2 songs from jinjer that are considered outliers and those are the only two that I like by jinjer which is very weird.

ADHD+Autism

Very annoying. Most ppl already struggle to understand ADHD. Now try to explain autism or what it feels like when you have both. But then again, I also don’t fit in with the autism crowd cause my autism is just light enough that I recognize my mistakes but I can’t fix them.

I mean tbf how could someone understand autism if I don’t really understand it myself. How could I, I’ve been born with a warped brain, I have no comparison.

I wanna add to this that censoring is a bit more relaxed. Every post lies on an instance, and control is given to hosts of an instance. So to censor, an actor has to gain control of the instance or the account that made the post.

That said, if you are in the confines of political oppression, as the commenter above me said, never take your anonymity for granted and take active steps to stay safe.

I’m down for that. Sounds awesome.
