To be fair I'm in math and there is no lack of people who are clearly unable to handle the real world outside of campus

Are there even any STEM fields left right now with better career outcomes than philosophy that dont mean you spend all day fine tuning maternity ward seeking missiles

Lots of engineering jobs in the energy and materials sector so you could also just help burn down the earth

hmm surely next time we deploy a ml model to predict illness or analyze medical imaging it’ll work and not end up as a huge untrustworthy, undocumentable idiot systems that clinicians hate and distrust which crashes six times weekly and even if it does work, 50% of true time it fails because of incomplete data

I was certain I was going to nail them with my mirror. They then ended up in the ditch. Fortunately they were fully able to move but we kept them immobilized until EMS arrived. i read all your big beautiful posts. just like our great (greatest!) wet president to ever presidency

I woke up to use the bathroom around 1:43am and drink a cup of water. That woke my neighbor up and he started doing percussion on the piano to play off some stress and started lifting weights, and then I couldn't sleep because I started thinking about how he could hear my couch cushions squeak when I roll over and how neighbor complaints can lead to someone getting thrown out and becoming homeless if you aren't quiet enough. Then I played FFXIV for 40 minutes and tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't after 40 more minutes and got back up Now there are 2.5 hours left until my alarm clock goes off galenanorth has issued a correction as of 10:44 on Sep 2, 2020 |
