Howdy. I’m Mark Essel, an engineer that’s added cofounder, web developer and author to my bag of tricks. My quest is to rediscover my life’s passions, and leverage that drive into profitable business ventures.

Be opinionated on your rules files for how you want it to organize the data and code (I built a scaffold template I use all over https://github.com/victusfate/scaffold, fork it make it your own)
If it edits tests you need to push back on why. I'm seeing it too often go to switch case vs simple inheritance. It's too slow sometimes for simple one line change.
ps I used to share blog posts here 14 years back from victusspiritus
I leveraged chatGPT as an assistant for descriptions and ideas about ML models. The book source code is open source and available here https://github.com/victusfate/HackersGuideToMachineLearningS...
We do a ton of data plumbing at my current startup https://welco.me/ . Ps we launched our 2.0 app today
Here's a writeup on Techcrunch with more details https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/11/welcome-launch/
It's only money. Now you have some, congratulations. Get back to focusing on the things that matter!
How can I best get a friendly dev involved (he has shipped a c# VR game and worked a bunch of custom js scripts)?
You could spend one life to become an expert doctor only to have all that knowledge made obsolete by time.
I can almost certainly remember the daunting climb onto a full sized toilet between age 3-4.
I do remember the algorithms (Huffman coding), but the high level concepts are harder to remember - information being directly correlated to randomness (entropy). Information is the unknown (random?) message, that sounds more like noise. Channel capacity makes sense: based on noise there's an upper limit on how fast you can communicate bits and groups of bits.
Possibly enhanced by smelling their own saliva? Just guessing
It's a little simpler to derive the least squares smoothing function http://stats.stackexchange.com/a/138342
23Gbps * 4425 satellites is
- 100k simultaneous 1Gbps users
- 1 million 100Mbps users
- 10 million 10Mbps users
Doesn't seem like much of a subscriber base to recoup a fraction of the costs
(My) Estimated cost for satellites and ground stations: 50-100+ billion, maintenance cost: few billion/year?
Might I propose instead genetically modifying insects to pass photosynthetic light signals in massive swarms controlled by ground stations (just for cool visuals) and spend the rest on ground microwave towers or anything else.
Long time gamer here. We play remote (roll20) and I meet new friends regularly to chat/bs for a few hours per week
Once you go beyond that you have to manually shard and replicate data between shards and load balance your connections.
