Bringing your serious girlfriend to your gym is the highest form of self-sabotage. You think it’s 'bonding,' but you have just introduced her to a showroom of men who are taller, stronger, and richer than you. By the time she hits a PR on squats, she has already mentally replaced you with the guy who helped her adjust the machine
Working at a company where half the people are based in Germany 🇩🇪 and the other half are based in the US 🇺🇸 really gives you a perspective on how both of these people think and work.
Germans are super high maintenance to work with, every new idea needs to come w a set of predefined rules and structure before action is taken meanwhile with Americans you give them some crumbs and as long as the idea feels and seems good they will jump into it and solve problems as they go.
Germans think the “American way” is inefficient or careless but the reality is that life is rarely predictable and often rewards action and speed over cautiousness or fear of failure.
I think Americans are right about this, risk is something to be managed in motion. Action creates information. Yes, the cost might be rework and sometimes chaos but the upside is momentum and learning.
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (Blizzard, 2002) revolutionized RTS gaming with its 3D graphics, hero units that level up and wield items, and four playable races: Humans, Orcs, Undead, and Night Elves. This was towards my later university days - and boy did I have some long gaming nights (campaign or LAN 1v1s or 2v2s), and missed some classes because of this...
The campaigns chronicle Arthas's tragic fall, the Scourge's rise, and Azeroth's defense against the Burning Legion, laying lore foundations for World of Warcraft.
The World Editor later paved the way for custom maps like Defense of the Ancients, spawning the MOBA genre and esports giants. Expanded by The Frozen Throne in 2003, it sold millions and won Game of the Year. Patches are still being released in 2025, showing the incredible standing that the whole Warcraft RTS universe still has.
"Murder rates would be up to five times higher than they are but for medical developments over the past 40 years...Without this technology, there would be no less than 50,000 and as many as 115,000 homicides annually instead of an actual 15,000 to 20,000" https://t.co/M3I1Xyuorf
@nateliason We don’t need to understand the assembly code that a compiler outputs because the compilation process is deterministic.
We do need to understand the high level code that a model outputs because there is nothing deterministic about the process and, ideally, software should work
@Sentdex C++ and Python serve different needs.
For something where performance is important ( a lot of critical systems we use daily) you cannot use python and you are forced to understand things at a lower level.
-¡No hay dinero para pagar las pensiones!
-Claro que hay dinero porque es ilimitado.
-Bueno, vale, pero si creas mucho puede haber inflación.
-Lo que quieras, pero la clave es que sí hay dinero para pagar las pensiones, que es lo que negabas.
-Esto... ehhh... Es que no distingues entre variables nominales y reales.
Y así con todo... es agotador.
The paradox of serious training is that it makes you strong, but the primary feeling you experience day to day is weakness, not strength.
The way you get stronger is by continually lifting weights heavy enough to make you feel weak.
