Go garbage collector: “I’ll get on it tomorrow”

Is the skill issue within me or my unfreed heap? #SoftwareDevelopment #golang

Automation Useful only in context of fast feedback, traffic rate is proxy for this

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

Random product thing I just realized from scrolling X

Sometimes after I re-scroll, like a couple hours later, headline of a new article from Wall Street journal or cnn or some high traffic site will change

It just occurred to me they almost certainly have automated split test

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

for every headline

After first 10000 views or so, I’m certain they automatically start using the better performing headline for all isers

@GuruAnaerobic Ok, good point about set dates!

For the past couple months, I have been alternating, run/lift, with usually 2 days per week of just walking. Runs have been 2 miles- switching either the first mile as fast as I can, or the second mile fast

Structured to be simple & doable

8:30 (painful) -> 7:45
8/1/23 -> 9/14/23

How far do beginner gains carry a 28 year old male? @GuruAnaerobic I feel like 7:00 is inevitable by 11/23 with my 45IQ training plan

@KingRyansun @Azure @awscloud @googlecloud @TensorDock Will do, have been feeling out a setup in gcp presently- think it’s .33 an hour all in… pretty cool service here if you have availability

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

Is it cheaper to rent a vm with 1 GPU on @Azure or @awscloud than this @googlecloud image with a T4?

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

have yet to find a zone in gcp or azure with gpus available

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

also the psychological targeting of this is spot on

@quant_arb Brother in Christ get a Mac or a Linux box don’t debase thyself in wsl

@alitaylor @bryan_johnson Website could have “mini blueprint bio assay”, list of 20% of the full range of tests run on blueprint. Just the basic accessible core.

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

@alitaylor @bryan_johnson would be cool if blueprint team could facilitate

Stretch: Imagine blueprint team can connect you with “blue approved” drs or groups of drs, Blueprint team takes cut of price, whether you do $50k or $5k of tests

Tried to use midjourney to help with “attractive male tattoo” ideas and it failed hilariously

@quant_arb is there a standard term for mean reverting a penny stock (my custom “index”) and a collection of liquid things weighted by said sh*tco index?

Correlation arb? Synthetic pairs trade?

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

Thinking about the experiments I want to run and their shared properties. It’s a heavy lift to test a single one, but platform that enables the shared props now makes all the others 90% ready to go. Now, explore/exploit is between platform and an experiment, not btwn expts

The mindset momentum derived from spending effort to build software tools that tighten the bumpers on my daily routine is certainly greater than perceived momentum of actual progress.

[Zachary Bednarke @Zbednarke]

Lost water weight and now fat is beginning to annihilate. Bodyweight is strongly anti correlated with $BTC/USD.

Last gain was week in Wisconsin with fam. I have put hours into bowling lane bumpers for daily routine. Mix of custom software + old fashioned habit training.
