  • (I know I’m two months late)

    To back up what you’re saying, I work with ML, and the guy next to me does ML for traffic signal controllers. He basically established the benchmark for traffic signal simulators for reinforcement learning.

    Nothing works. All of the cutting edge reinforment algorithms, all the existing publications, some of which train for months, all perform worse than “fixed policy” controllers. The issue isn’t the brains of the system, its the fact that stoplights are fricken blind to what is happing.

    The “front page” of most instances are not interesting to average people or to professionals (e.g. local gov that wants to go open source, like those switching to Mastodon).

    Part is lemmy’s hot-sort is basically broken as a ranking, another part is bad language filters, another part is that major communities here (fediverse, Linux memes, star trek memes, science memes, etc) are off-putting to out-of-group people because of so many in-group jokes. Its a hard fix.

    Yeah, university is almost certainly going to expect you to be able to install Unreal or Unity, which just isn’t possible AFAIK on NixOS. NixOS is very all or nothing. You can’t just remove the restrictions for one project and hack something together to hit an assignment deadline. Theres still lots of pain points with LD_PATH and 3rd party binaries.

    That said, you can use nixpkgs on non-nixos and still get reliability for Godot and other open source tools. For your case, I highly recommend dual booting, and then using nixpkgs without going full blown nixOS.







  • Also don’t forget your mandatory call to the doc each month for every refill
    and don’t forget to call a day early when it lands on a weekend
    and don’t forget to setup the mandatory appointment every 6 months
    and don’t forget to actually go to the appointment
    and don’t forget to schedule a drug test once every whatever-amount-of-time it is for your state
    and don’t forget to not eat or drink or take the medication the morning of the drug test

    Cause if you forget just 1 of those they’ll obviously have no choice but to deny you the medication you’ve been taking every day for 10 years. But you understand because punishing disabled people for mistakes/crimes of able-minded people (who don’t find those things challeging), is clearly the only option they have.
