She won’t care. Someone else started, so she’s off the hook. All she has to do is continue the script. At worst, depending on their algorithm, she’ll make you stop for a week or two (I don’t know much about the half life) so your bloods show you below their range, then she’ll prescribe. I’d imagine that’s not fun though!

I’m an idiot and just now went back and read everything to realize you won’t have the VA treat you so it doesn’t matter. I could delete all this, but I’d rather leave up a VA complaint, so there you go!

Didn’t win the alarm clock battle this morning, way too tired.

Busted out the good clothes for the upcoming interview; don’t know when, but the boss lady said I WILL be getting an interview and that she very seriously wants me for the position. She wants a problem solver and that is my specialty.

45lbs of the sled weight were contributed by a small child who insisted I be her chauffeur (didn’t even get a tip). This was done in 103° heat, so I almost got to show the little one what a Heat Casualty is.

Wanted to post this in the confession thread but it’s too off topic. But I needed to get it out of my system so I figured I’d post it here, I read Google’s MapReduce paper and it fucking BLEW MY MIND in it’s simplicity and elegance:

OMFG this is why Bing SUCKS.
(The toggles are there because I’m using Active Recall when studying)

The page looks like this when I close the toggles.

FUCK BING.
The paper is here for any nerds here who may be interested:

Among a litany of other reasons lol.

Honestly I thought these methods were standard already… It’s just taking input and separating it into lists or arrays, which you could then iterate through to define and use information depending on criteria.

It wasn’t taught to me as the MapReduce model, but it just kind of made sense to me that this was one of the purposes. I believed it to be among the different uses for lists, pending the need.

This was in 2004. That’s what was mindblowing. Their current iterations are more similar to a service they’ve released as a cloud database called BigTable. MapReduce is more well known as a heavy pillar in HDFS which is part of the Hadoop ecosphere, which is all open source but google came up with it. And now the fuckers want to make money by using it as a cloud service.

Btw, I think by now you’ve realized how much more advanced than me you are or will be. Told u that would happen. You’re studying everything as a holistic kind of thing (for lack of a better word) and you just didn’t cover the subjects I was talking about previously but that shit is easy as fuck once you know the basic concepts compared to what you are learning.

So I wanna ask:

Is there any way I can use the Anaconda libraries without having to install fucking Anaconda? I HATE ANACONDA. I FUCKING HATE IT. Screwed lots of my system path variables. Had to get a freelancer I don’t use for work to completely get it out of my system 2 years ago lol.

Now I need it for the AI shit. And I don’t know Java or I’d use that.

Also, FUCK JUPYTER NOTEBOOKS.

Map and Reduce are both commonly used on lists/arrays in programming but MapReduce is a completely different beast that just uses those methods and a ton of other shit, under the hood.

From the wiki article

The “MapReduce System” (also called “infrastructure” or “framework”) orchestrates the processing by marshalling the distributed servers, running the various tasks in parallel, managing all communications and data transfers between the various parts of the system, and providing for redundancy and fault tolerance.

Yup. Alright, now I know there’s another basement nerd like me here lol.

If we look at the history of data and how distributed systems were required when it got too large to process or store in a single place, programmers not only had to write their programs and processing logic, they had to come up with different ways of distributing it.

And to add to the above, MapReduced was what gave them a framework that abstracted away at least the distribution part. This was a time when a fucking basic website cost at least $500 USD for just HTML and the fucking side frames LOL. Add in the fancy stuff like CSS and FLASH(HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK THEM) and a simple thing you can now do on wordpress yourself with 10x more features would set you back over a thousand bucks. Javascript was still just a scripting language meant for the browser and I don’t think I even heard about it when I tried to do my company website with basic HTML since we had no fucking money and our PC couldn’t even handle FRONTPAGE and learning basic HTML was faster. Fucking did that on NOTEPAD LOLOLOL.

Btw, any of you know the part I asked about Ananconda? I REALLY don’t want to install it even if it’s miniconda.

Btw I got a confession but that would be fit for the Flame Free thread.

You shouldn’t need Anaconda itself, but you will need to be able to import the libraries from Anaconda… Meaning you will either need the libraries in a call-able repository OR you will need them to be installed.

That, or if you only need some select libraries, I’m sure you could copy and paste the source code as if it were your own and use it then. Still, you would need to either be able to see it or direct your interpreter to it in one format or another. To my limited knowledge.

I’ve dabbled in Python and I know a thing or two about C# but truly I’m not that deep into programming, and I’m not saying that to be humble. The most advanced programming class I’ve taken is “Intro to programming” or “Programming for Engineers”, both of which are entry level courses. I have a LOT more to go before I’d consider myself knowledgeable tbh.

Sounds like I have some research to do!

P.S always happy to talk tech if either of you two want. I’m moving from aviation manufacturing (in the terribly niche field of Prototype Development) to computer/tech stuff… It’s going to be a tough bridge to gap I think. That and I learn best via conversational entropy :man_shrugging:

See, this is why I keep saying you are or will be much more advanced than me because our last exchange you thought I was “advanced” lol. I get what you’re saying but I’m not really sure how to do that lol. It’s like I don’t even know BALLS about excel other than using the add function even though I’ve been doing some harrowing projects with a UI based product for data cleaning and transformations from a google partner which requires some formulas lol

Programming is easy. The logic is the tough part. And it’s the backend and low level concepts that are hard wrt to programming, the latter which I fucking refuse to touch even though more and more IOT would require lots of C++. You know one language and the rest are easy to pick up. JS as a scripting language is idiot proof. The “complicated” for other stuff is all based on OOP, which JS introduced several years ago although the community is so wishy washy they can’t decide if they want function or object based programming nowadays.

Fault tolerance alone is HIGHLY IMPORTANT because today, we’re talking about infrastructure or systems run in real-time that can cost lives if there’s any failure. Which involves the need for redundancy. clustering, high availability, etc.
