every career advice thread eventually arrives at the same destination. just network more. go to industry events. reach out to people on linkedin. get a referral. okay. i grew up in a family with zero corporate connections. i went to a state school with no recruiting pipeline. i don't know anyone at any of the companies i want to work at. my linkedin has 200 connections most of whom are college classmates equally lost in the same market. "just network" is advice that assumes you already have a network to activate. for a lot of us the network doesn't exist yet and the job search can't wait for us to build one from scratch. i'm not saying networking doesn't work. i'm saying it's being handed out as universal advice when it's only accessible to some people. the rest of us need a different strategy and volume plus timing is actually the one that works without a head start.

I am getting tired of the same old tropes in hollywood horror lately. It's always the same old ghouls or predictable undead plots. I just want horror that isn't all jumpscares for once. If that sounds right to you, drop something in the comments.

I already like some Ari Aster stuff, and thriller elements from Hitchcock movies

I was trying to dip my toes in machine learning and my understanding was to build a solid grasp on algebra, calculus, probability and stats beforehand. I'm good with the maths portion now but it's confusing where to go next to actually make an actual model that utlises all these things. I'm trying not to build everything through AI/chatbots just to get a better understanding of the material that I want to work on
