    Easy points to start with. Generally, keeping a neutral view on something new, and striving to maintain a trust but verify attitude is your absolute best bet. The more you understand global politics, especially current agendas of various nations, political groups, etc. can help to discern one bias or another. In general, giving yourself room and time to properly process any information you encounter, and especially destress yourself, makes a huge difference.

  • I once had a conversation about economics with a different person. Just something clicked in some other guy and sent them down a spiral.

  • Nope, language models by inherent nature, xannot be used to calculate. Sure theoretically you could have input parsed, with proper training, to find specific variables, input those to a database and have that data mathematically transformed back into language data.

    No LLMs do actual math, they only produce the most likely output to a given input based on trained data. If I input: What is 1 plus 1?

    Then given the model, most likely has trained repetition on an answer to follow that being 1 + 1 = 2, that will be the output. If it was trained on data that was 1 + 1 = 5, then that would be the output.

  • Might be focusing a bit too much into specific demographics here, work towards the message, impact, and readability first and foremost. That's where the audience draw should be, it's what will keep them reading. Sure, relatability with age can help draw some, but if you remove those small details then no impact should happen to the overall story.

    Have you tried going for more of an indirect approach, say focusing on mannerisms, behavioral traits and the such to demonstrate a difference in age?

  • I actually help train for combating disinformation and the such, I could forward you a few docs if you're interested in the read.

  • Writing takes a HELL of a long time to start getting good, usually a million words or so, and that's not guaranteed success. Physics, as others have mentioned takes mathematics to a high level, have you looked at other aspects of sciences and math if you at least enjoy it?

    If you'd like to get some career guidance, I do alot of training and mentorship pro-bono, drop me a message might be able to help a little.

  • Is this some kind of bathwater thing again?

  • I can understand why he'd like the concept, he can't think for himself afterall.

  • Only makes sense. I doubt all those suckers and loosers could know what to do without him.

    Trump's a real war-hero after all. He's prevented 9 wars this year alone. Just look him, you don't a well rounded build like his without some serious work.

  • Cash in pocket doesn't seem to be a very bonkers reason to me.

    Wrong? Sure. Foolish? Absolutely. Short-sighted? No doubt.

    But bonkers? Who wouldn't sell their fellow man out for a few extra bucks? Hell, a nice new RV sure sounds nice, maybe a vacation to go along with it.

  • Not even the first time he's talked about these things, really seems to love the idea, Space-age Technology and all that. Wonder if it's along the same thinking all these ultra-rich autocrats have, only last month or so Putin and Xi were talking life extension.

    Hope deep down, somewhere a part of them knowe they're wasting their lives on petty nonsense.

  • So would it now be considered acceptable to use something like " [INSERT FIRM] passed gas to the amount of [BLANK] tons over [PERIOD OF TIME] "

    It sure would make reports a hell of alot more interesting.
