We will always remember you for your sacrifice, camera guy.
Well that explains the theme song line “And the rest…”
Was it this fuckin’ guy?
Will try harder to note TILs.
My real TILs are more like TWILs, would bore most, and lack good headlines. Like, - TWIL large language model alignment, model creativity, and entity awareness are the result of alignment sampling techniques in the model loader code using pytorch.
Sharing that here, seems a little out of scope.
Also, I don't know of a good way of making an image with layers and a merged collage for visuals using FOSS sw on Android.
I can think of some stuff that might work for TIL, but kinda needs a visual and even then, my interests... Like my favorite recent technique for finding YT content is to search the names of the first few authors of a white paper. Sometimes they even have public outreach targeting channels, other times they have a conference talk explaining the paper directly... So as usual, my ideas interest (-10):10 people tops.
'Preciate your efforts though, seriously!
If you have nothing to add that you think is worth adding, it's cool. I honestly don't mind providing most of the content, I was just kidding (although I was surprised it was mostly me).
I'm just one of those people who seeks this sort of thing out and end up being the person no one wants to play Trivial Pursuit with because I always win. Sadly, it has not been a usable skill in terms of getting a career. For some reason, "really good at finding out weird, but trivial, things" isn't really something HR departments put out job ads for.
I'm not any better off. "Loves rabbit hole tangents" isn't appealing either, but spineless gimp is far worse. It doesn't help that I've run my own business and would refuse to hire me.
Maybe explore sales of different types. Trivia is a good icebreaker. When I was in my teens I worked at Macy's and did really well, then was recruited to Nordstrom's. Women's shoes, in SoCal has several six figure earners, so I gave it a try. I was AWFUL at sales there. Turns out, I do really well with understanding the products available and presenting all of your options clearly. I suck at making a person feel good about their decisions or understanding their emotional state/expectations. Later in life I owned my own auto body shop, working mostly for used car lots and doing airbrush graphics on the side. I absolutely hated selling myself to new dealers because it has that same Nordstrom like emotional reinforcement kind of dynamic. After losing a bunch of weight and taking a career vacation as the Buyer for a chain of bike shops, I only dealt with certain high end customers directly out of the shops. Once again, I was hyper aware of all products available on the market that I had access to from distributors. I could overwhelm anyone on the subject, but if you knew EXACTLY what you want, I was one of the few people that could tell you all of your options in detail.
Just trying to say, those people skills, like being able to to trivia smalltalk are valuable in some niches. I can't do that at all any more. I just try to keep my mouth shut if I'm around anyone any more because everything on my mind is likely boring AF to 99% of people I encounter, if they understand me at all. I wouldn't call myself smart, just a poor communicator really.
That’s just phill he doesn’t like to complain and is perfectly happy on the island so they don’t show him much.
