Honestly its been so depressing watching half the people in my program just slap an openai api on a react frontend for their capstone and call themselves ai engineers. like i’ve been sitting here struggling through operating systems and discrete math wondering if I'm just wasting my time.

but it looks like the industry is hitting a massive wall with probabilistic models anyway. i was reading some of the tech panel notes from the Milken Conference and it sounds like the big players are realizing you literally cant run real infrastructure on a model that just guesses the next token and randomly hallucinates. they are all talking about shifting to deterministic logic and energy-based models for anything that is mission critical.

its just a huge relief. writing strict, mathematically sound code is going to matter again. the whole "just talk to the chatbot" phase of computer science feels like it’s finally ending and real engineering is coming back. makes me feel slightly less dumb for picking the hard systems electives this semester

Some movies are amazing the first time because of the surprise factor, but others somehow become even better the more you watch them. You start noticing small details, better performances, or things that completely went over your head before

What movie improved the most for you on a rewatch and what detail did you only notice after watching it again?

okay so heres my problem. I keep buying blush. not even expensive ones always. sometimes drugstore. sometimes sephora sale. but I swear no matter what color I pick - peach, pink, mauve, coral, whatever - it ends up looking identical on my cheeks. like a slightly pinkish situation. nothing more.

same thing with lipsticks honestly. I buy a berry shade thinking ooh this will be dramatic and then on my lips its just... pink again. or I buy a nude and it pulls orange. or I buy a cool toned pink and it looks almost purple. I cant predict anything.

Ive tried the whole vein test thing for undertones. blue veins, green- both I have no idea. I tried the white paper test. I tried the gold vs silver jewelry test. I asked my friends. one said Im warm, another said cool, a third said neutral. cool thanks super helpful.

online quizzes are a joke. every single one gives me a different answer. one said winter, another said autumn, a third said summer. like which one is it, I cant be three seasons.

has anyone here actually done color analysis? did it help you with makeup specifically? like did you finally figure out what blush or lipstick shades actually work? or am I just gonna get told I already know everything (which I clearly dont).

also if you havent done analysis but you figured out your undertone somehow please tell me your secret. I feel like Im losing my mind every time I stand in the sephora aisle holding two identical looking blushes trying to pick one.

I used to just toss the hard ends of parmesan cheese in the trash, but I recently started throwing them into my slow cooker whenever I make soup or pasta sauce.

It completely changes the flavor profile, adds this deep, savory "umami" kick that you can't get from salt alone. Just let it simmer with the food and fish the rind out before serving (or eat it if you like that chewy texture). It’s basically a free flavor upgrade for your meal.

Does anyone else do this, or am I late to the party?

HR already has your previous version on file, so the goal is to demonstrate significant progress and growth since you were first hired. It is much better to treat your last resum as a reference document and re-write the new version from scratch. If you don’t, you risk looking like the perfect candidate for your current position, which is the last thing you want.

Why YSK: According to Vertical Media Solutions, your focus should be on where you want to go rather than where you have been. You need to highlight your new institutional knowledge and show that you’ve already outgrown your current grade. Starting from a blank page allows you to frame your achievements specifically for that next step up.

It was a small piece of cheesecake in the back of the fridge. No name on it. No note. Been there for four days. I thought it was abandoned. It was not. She just told me she was "waiting for the right moment."

Now I have to look her in the eyes for the next 11 months. I can never admit it. I will take this secret to my grave. Has anyone else committed a tiny fridge crime you can never take back?
