Big Island is an extremely interesting place. Its just few kilometers wide but it has around 8 climate zones ranging from snow, desert, volcano, tropical, beaches, rainforest what not. You can drive less than an hour and go from desert to snow and snow to tropical.
There is one public bus that goes around and once I was the only passenger and the driver stopped the bus near the ocean to show the travelling whales/dolphins.
Absolutely not. I dont want to be unbanned. I gave up my media job protesting the Iraq war and I will give up all my social media accounts protesting this rabid propaganda russian ukrainian war.
Thank you for being polite enough to explain though. I really appreciate it.
You can follow some indie people on twitter. meetup is almost dead so best bet is to get into this indie groups and then network out or even go to coworking group events
The sanctions on Russia has triggered a flight of capital and gold across countries. I am just surprised why US is buying so much gold given that its mostly developing countries to buffer up their own reserves so that they can trade in their own currencies.
US has USD so why is it stocking up on Gold. Someone somewhere knows the answers.
its all delivered in secret flights and routes. Last year, an insider in Canadian airport got tipped off about impending arrival of gold and got along with his friends for the "largest heist in canadian history" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Pearson_International_...
It doesn't work like this. The stock might fall around $10-$20 every month in the worst case scenario. In which case the premium of $180 will keep rising every week, 90% of which will expire worthless.
You have to buy really farther out or really far off strike both of which have nearly zero probability ( delta is nearly zero and less than 1)
>Much of South India and Eastern India was already British ruled by the early 1800s.
No they were not. They were run by private East India Company. With the revolt of 1857 and quashing of the rebellion, the official Raj by the British Royals began
You are still bickering over pedantic stuff. Britain profited from slave trade. They just didn't want to use the term "slave" and used "colony" instead.
It's one of the reason Russia was very hesitant to shoot them down initially. Some of the planes were cessna and similar single engine prop planes that were loaded with explosives and remote controller:
LLMs dont have the same usecase as encoder only models. Lets assume you have around million keywords and you want to find the most similar to a keyword that the user input.
In pre-processing you would have calculated the vector encoding of all the million keywords before hand and now with the keyword the user input, you calculate the vector and then find the most similar vectors
LLM is used by end user, encoders are used by devs in app to search/retrieve text.
>I’m sure this is no consolation, but as a born-and-raised citizen who has paid into social security for 15 years now, I have serious doubts about seeing a positive return on those taxes myself.
Look at the bright side though: You get a chance to get conscripted for a war against Iran/Russia/China and also get to blow up windowless mudhouses in the desert to protect democracy and freedom back in the states.
It takes around 20+ years to go from H1b to permanent visa/green card. In the meantime your kids born in US have grown up, graduated, you have a house and everything could be yanked at the border when you are travelling.
Meanwhile vast majority of them pay into taxes and social security and leave the US and never see a dime of that money.
Immigrants are the easiest group to exploit by everyone because they have no voice and are vilified by vast majority of the people include the so called intellectuals in here.
