Yeah, the cooking method (and the water it's cooked in) has a much larger effect than the origin of the rice.

I agree with you and can tell, but I doubt most people around me could. They could understand each type of rice is different but wouldn't have a clue which is which.

It was a bit of hyperbole, but I think you'd be surprised how undifferentiated people's pallets can be if they aren't eating something constantly.

I agree with you. I can tell them apart (Not Japanese vs. California rice, though).

I should have qualified that to randomly selected Americans/Europeans. And that they could understand each type of rice is different but wouldn't have a clue which is which.

Even the top researchers in the world don't make an impact beyond a tiny bump on the graph of knowledge of their field unless they are also lucky enough to be founding members or on the right side of a paradigm shift.

All you can do is look for places where you can make a contribution and keep an eye out for places that could matter in the future. No one knows what will matter in a few years, but it's often apparent what won't make a difference (the well-trodden path).

I get your point, but many people find what they love and throw themselves into it without the intention or discipline to keep progressing.

Millions of amateur artists and musicians spend hours daily working on their craft without ever noticeably improving past an intermediate learner's level.

There is ONE answer regardless of when the question was asked. Knowledge has a shelf life, and programming knowledge's shelf life is notoriously short.

"It's the best-tasting rice in the world" is typical Japanese hyperbole in the same way they brag about having four seasons.

I'm sure it's excellent, but in the end, it's just rice. A blind taste test would be random noise. I sure can't remember there being a material different in the rice I ate in Japan vs good Japanese food in Cali.

Hell, even if you included jasmine or basmati, I'll bet most western people wouldn't even be able to tell those apart from Japanese short-grained rice.

Edit: western people

Has someone done that? Sounds like a interesting read/watch.

The sticking point is you can’t build the model. To be able to build the model from scratch you need methodology and a complete description of the data set.

They only give you a blob of data you can run.

I agree, but the context is to pick it up well enough to do coding interviews. Which I think is fair. People can pick up enough python for coding interviews pretty easily.

How does this connect to the article at all?

What does that have to do with creepiness?

I’m betting 100% on this. And I think the new sidecar controlling your phone is an example of where they’re going in reverse.

If you have a M6 MacBook/ipad pro it’ll run your AI queries there if you’re on the same network in two-four years.

Yeah, but Apple wouldn’t care either way. They do things for the principle of it. “We have an ongoing beef with NVIDIA so we’ll build our own ai server farms.”

It sounds like the app creators need to built in the support using SiriKit and app intentions. If they're using either already a fair bit of integration will be automatic.

This is what executive assistants do all day.

Some people view house keepers the same way. “I can’t let someone going through and touch all of my personal belongings. That’s just creepy.”

There’s a wide range of what people find creepy and also what people can and do get used to.

What about things like GIPHY reactions? I’m guessing you’re not a fan of those either or using quotes from well known people. There shortcuts have existed as long as people have been writing or drawing. They just get easier and more powerful over time.

I view this as just extending that to custom reactions and making them more flexible expanding their range of uses.

This feels approximately the correct shape to me.

Doesn’t that take a year or two extra schooling to get into?

Again I suggest reading cPTSD by Pete Walker. Specifically about the freeze type for F response. It can describe things much better than a random person on the internet can.

This is something I struggle with but didn't have words for either.

It's a constant struggle to keep healing.

First step is to stop blaming yourself for everything. You are a product of your circumstances and upbringing.

Second step is to allow the possibility that even supportive parents can still make mistakes that negatively impact your ability to do the things you want to do. Neglect has nothing to do with the kind of person your parents are. This is not a moral judgement of your parents.

Third is to learn about and to accept and rely on your emotions. This is where I'm at and it's a long process, but the sooner you get started the soon you become unstuck.

Also, no one remembers neglect. How can you remember something you didn't have?

Good people can neglect things. Maybe they had an uncle/aunt who was supportive in a certain way so they didn't know they need to support they own children in that way. Or maybe they had their own issues they were working through and just didn't have the bandwidth or capacity to give something or other to their children. Again neglect is not a moral judgement.

You don't need to have had abusive situations. Neglect, specifically emotional neglect can cause all of those symptoms.

Personally, I was physically taken care of but had an overly permissive parent who treated me like a roommate rather than a child and that was enough to cause decades of suffering and not understanding why I couldn't do things other people found easy and natural.

I feel that. I thought that way for decades. Specifically until two years ago when I was 41.

All that time I thought my neglect had given me strength and resilience. But it just made me inflexible and obstinate.

This sounds like a maladaptive freeze response (fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses). My wife was the same way. She was basically completely shutdown physically and emotionally because before I met her she was stuck in an emotionally incestuous relationship with her father after her mother passed away.

It's taken more than 10 years (mostly because we didn't know anything about anything emotional until recently and therefore couldn't get her help), but she's finally getting past a lot of the symptoms you mention.

Might want to read about cPTSD (I recommend the book with the same name by Pete Walker as an introduction) or childhood emotional neglect. It looks similar to ADHD and/or ASD but has very different causes and is highly treatable. I was diagnosed as both, but it wasn’t until I really started digging into my emotions and past that I started making progress.

To your parents, I would say even procrastination isn’t intentional it’s the symptom, not the cause.

What are your tips for USAjobs? I've applied several times (w/ 10 pt advantage) and I've never even gotten an email back.

No, it doesn't use proprietary Nintendo source code.

Is that where that came from? It sounds right.

I used to wear nice hats regularly including a couple of fedoras, but I had to retire them because of this.
