6 Figures 6 Certs Random Thoughts Thread

[wenndigo]

Today marks the 365th day of earning 6 figures and I’m in my late 30’s. I just wanted to show appreciation to everyone here

It’s been a long ass road brehs

Over the last year with a 6 figure salary we were able to buy a 2nd house triple the size of the first house, start an llc and become land lords over the starter home, buy a Tesla, live life comfortably and see my babies grow up all working from the comfort of my home

Congrats breh. To all the brehs out there: it's possible

 

[Spence]

It's a good life! At a certain point you only need so much money for your own sake and well-being. How many "things" do you need to own?

The real power of money is being able to do stuff for your family and loved ones. You deserve it ALL breh.

Thanks Black Vision
And you’re right. We’ve been able to get my fk up brother in law out of his mess, been able to help my parents out when they were a little behind, pay for vacations for them to come with us so both our parents can enjoy time in foreign countries with their grand babies etc.

I’m running out of shyt I want to buy and it’s fantastic.
Once we are done furnishing this new house and I update the theater room to its full glory I think the last thing we will do is update the wife’s car and then get ready for my son to show up to complete our trilogy through ivf

Being able to hand my son to my dad to let him know his legacy will be safe when he is gone already got me in my feelings since I’m the only one of his kids that can do that (I have 2 sisters)

Humanizing GPT-3: Introducing OCEAN

I’m a researcher, not a programmer. Don’t walk away from this paper disappointed by the lack of a detailed technical explanation or concrete examples of the ideas within. I have never produced text written by GPT-3. What attracts me to the technology is the potential to combine personality and technology along the lines of the English language. Fundamentally, GPT-3 is a genius AI designed to produce English text that passes the Turing test. People are excited by its ability to predict and mimic, but in it I see the potential for so much more.

Let me introduce you to the Big 5, or OCEAN model of personality. Like GPT-3, OCEAN is designed around a massive library of the English language. That should be reason enough to explore combining the two. How so? It’s simple. OCEAN further breaks down into two components per trait as follows, openness and intellect, industriousness and orderliness, enthusiasm and assertiveness, politeness and compassion, and finally, withdrawal and volatility. Straightforwardly, assign a value of 1–100 for each of the ten traits and the output will align with that of any English speaking person. Personality is a sliding scale based on frequencies. Adjusting the frequencies produces different personalities.

Technology lacks personality because we don’t have sufficient mental models, even for ourselves. In The Rosales Project, I detailed how much work it took to reach this point of understanding, and I’m giving the technical community the chance to stand on my shoulders, as well as the shoulders of others, who have done great work in fields such as language and psychology, which are becoming rapidly more relevant. MBTI, enneagram, and even Big 5 mental models that don’t allow for further breakdowns in the components just aren’t good enough to develop a strong understanding of personality or how to implement it from a mathematical perspective. What I’m recommending in this paper might be detailed enough to work.

What GPT-3 lacks is emotional intelligence. The paragraphs often come across as piles of nothing. Not only is the scope of information provided limited to what was originally input for the system to copy, meaning that the output is limited in terms of capacity for surprise, but the writing also fails to achieve any of the emotional appeal that even a 3rd grader could produce in their writing by virtue of being human. I’m suggesting a mechanism for humanization of this technology by introducing the audience to a mathematical and statistical basis for the emotional range we all exhibit in our use of language. Words only account for 7% of all communication among human beings, with tone and body language being far more important to us by nature. We are already limited to working with a fraction of what holds our attention when it comes to AI text generation, so every mental model we can use to improve it helps.

Machine learning algorithms can become equipped with personalities that are modelled after real human emotional ranges. OCEAN accounts for personality in both the macro and the micro. A person is both their overall frequency of emotion, and the way that those frequencies affect their slightest utterances. People exceptionally high in volatility use strong language and take longer to calm down. People who are low in enthusiasm are less upbeat or happy than those who are high, and are less likely to be in the mood to crack jokes. People who are low in compassion and politeness are less interested in the problems of others and more likely to be blunt and to interrupt. I see no reason that these same mental models can’t be applied to our AI for the purpose of humanizing a technology that we all see as potentially valuable.

In the next part, I will discuss some possible applications of the combination of this technology with OCEAN, as well as some of the practical and moral implications of doing this kind of work and research. Thanks for reading.

I want to program a website to search big five personality test results and link people together. Like a social media where you could see each other's stats.

What do you guys think?

life changing how? what was your experience?..

 

[Rawtid]

I hate that shyt just breaks! All of a sudden a job is failing and it appears that nothing changed, but SOMETHING had to and now I'm about to spend hours of my life figuring out what. First thing's first, let's restart this hoe. "Someone else is logged in"...fukk 'em, but I hope it comes back up. I wish I could blow on the virtual server like a nintendo cartridge.


Company opened up a new office in Cyprus. My geographically challenged ass was like "What!, that's how you spell it? It's a place, not a rap group". It's so insane in the membrane I googled and got myself together though. Funny now, but legit shocked and extra remedial.

Edit: RESTART FTW!!

Finally got a transfer at my first job. Gonna get to write code again .
C#.

Got to peak at the repositories I'm working in, the practices are outstanding. .

There's actual documentation. .

No developers living in India pushing up 1,000 line functions .

Is that? Yes it is, they're actually using the Clean Architecture pattern to set up their APIs

Might get a third job depending on how easy it is to get things pushed up in this environment

I'm in a pilot group for a new VPN, Zscaler and I love it so far. Continuous connection, even overnight, but with Cisco, I'd have to re-authenticate (name, password, and security code) every morning of if I switched locations/wifi networks. Now, I do have to re-authenticate if I change wifi networks, but I only need to provide the security code.

Y'all ever just ignore shyt at work and hope it'll go away ? Well it was nice while it lasted.

 

[Serious]

working from a place with strong SJW energy can be annoying from time to time...especially when a bunch of white guilt emails from a higher up are sent out talking about the history of the workplace's role in slavery..on some we must not forget

Yeah I don’t like it. Just be yourself and let’s @getmoney310cpt that’s all I care about. All the extra shyt don’t mean much to me. I hate pandering

 

[patscorpio]

Y'all ever just ignore shyt at work and hope it'll go away ? Well it was nice while it lasted.

that is me for the last 8 days at work..fires upon fires to put out...even today has been hectic..5 more hours..i might need to get a drink or 4 tonight

I’ve been doing this for a while, and I still get away with it

Now I’ll have an extra day Saturday where I’m paid to my wfh.


I can do all my job duties for a month in one afternoon.


I just make everything sound hard and complex to others while I’m explain shyt.


I’m also tired of this second job.


Money too good and easy to pass though
