okay i put my shitty resume out to about 30 companies
my credentials are so dogshit but hopefully my cover letters convey what i really have to offer
which i think i can offer an awful lot

i fucked up by not finishing my degree but i dunno how i could have at the time
goin back now doesn't seem feasible

i dont think many people take the notion of self-study seriously
but that's basically what grad school is in mathematics anyway

why not finish your degree
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh grad mathematics? nevermind
moon
it'd be hard to finish now
i gotta like make end's meat you know

it'll be easier once i get more gainful employment
or rather bolster my contracting opportunities

my plan was always to self-study and eventually apply for grad school once i had like, an actual knowledge base and familiarity with the stuff i wanted to study
but it almost seems better just to separate from the institution and publish what i want to publish on my own
not like i can't read a lot of the new literature coming out without university status

i guess id be missing out on the sick networking opportunities with all the other autismos like me though

Image 1750177794846.png (117 KB, 238x253, Screenshot_20250617_182659.png)
the youjo senki manga continues the anime's "every military force gets a weird flying machine for their mages"
Most notably this continues to be funny because uh, nobody has one of these in the LN
Like literally nobody uses a machine (that isn't the orb) to fly
Because they fly using flight spells, they're mages
S C
at least in the anime all of them were like, a bit witch-like
The scandinavians use skies, the french use these weird horses without legs, metallic and seemingly magic in nature

But these guys got... snowmobiles? Just straight up snowmobiles.
Anno
well flying is one thing, plummeting is not ever an option.
S C
Image 1750178176209.jpg (251 KB, 1536x2048, 3a664bd8c5792e5c41b38f3cda4c14(…).jpg)
the other thing is that despite this, the anime and manga still only ever have mages fly
Like, they aren't ACTUALLY flying machines, even in the adaptions

it's just such a strange thing for the manga and anime to have added in when the LN never makes even an allusion towards tech like this having existed in the past, much less still existing
The war that begins after Tanya gets isekai'd is... kind of implied to possibly be the first war since mages became able to fly at all, judging by the first real combat mission the 203rd went on, beating the snot out of a whole country's armed forces and pushing to the capital without any meaningful resistance due to the simple fact that this other country were still waging entirely terrestial combat and didn't even conceive of air forces being like, important as enemy or ally
They had total air superiority against an enemy without even rudimentary anti air, which really only makes sense if this is the advent of airborne mages
S C
if memory serves, mages prior to airborne mages DID absolutely exist and were part of the military, but they were basically beefed up infantry
Even if you can't fly, being able to project a shield in front of yourself and a small squad can really turn a fight around
S C
though
aircraft absolutely are a thing, fighter planes and bombers are fairly common, so it is real strange for any country to exist without any anti air to speak of, their entire armed forces being like, 1800s era formation marches and... muskets? might have been bolt action rifles, but either way that's the type of tactics they had going on
No armor, no AA, no aircraft, not even mechanized infantry, or even cavalry

I guess it was just the author showing the power of airborne mages by making up a guy for them to fight, but it does kinda make some strange implications about the lore
How could a nation like that even exist, like literally at all, prior to entities like the UN or whatever? They'd get bodied by literally any one of their neighbors, and they'd deserve it for logging off the military tech tree over 100 years ago
Anno
>>1154449
o my knowledge this is that; the keyword being "ally" and both sides need the end game which is the goal

>>1154450
>>"can really turn a fight around"

All partys involved geting what is needed COULD maybe "absolutly" (but more over over) ACTUALLY really

indeed turn a fight in the favour of all concerned.
S C
I do not know what you're saying here
The kingdom the 203rd went up against, as a military force, did not consider aerial forces to exist prior to making contact with the 203rd, based on their tactics and forces
Which just doesn't make a lot of sense for a country that hasn't been beaten bloody and conquered already, considering the developed state of aerial combat in the rest of the world
S C
the weird flying devices do somehow end up being functional from a story-telling perspective despite being fake news, though
The Empire, and I can't tell if this was intentional or not, has by far the most functional version, which is basically just like, a mechanical boot or more like the lower end of an exoskeleton without the machinery that makes it an exoskeleton
Just visually, it's beyond obvious they're better at all of this shit than all their contemporaries by the mere fact their mages are more free to maneuver and aren't straddled across some unwieldy fucking 'thing'

like just being told those things on their legs here serve the same function in their operations as the snowmobile communicates really clearly that
<- these guys, or at least the people making their gear, are just a LOT better at their job

Well if "victory" is to be obtained in the case of "allys" sometimes the best case senario can be but getting into a conflict too begin with and focus on resources or even a greater shared enemy. Better to keep things fimiliar then to bring new company into play.


>>1154456
Ya thats on an option at all.
S C
>>1154457
Oh i see, you just misunderstood what I meant
> didn't even conceive of air forces being like, important as enemy or ally
I meant this as in, not that they decided against bringing aircraft or anti-air, but as in they didn't think that was a... thing
Not "unimportant for this campaign", but more "we did not know you could do that"
S C
and "ally" here is literally just themselves
Anno
ya safty can also be a great ally
flying carft are ment to be operated inside or other.
S C
well it's best to treat the manga as an entirely separate story anyway
Mary Sue is quite literally, explicitly and unambigiously blessed by the gods in the manga
It's not implied or nothing, they directly intervene
In the anime that part was at least just sorta implied
And in the LN... I mean that never happens at all in any capacity, she's just a bit far above average on mana capacity
Unlike Tanya, whose mana capacity is actually pretty weak, even for her age
S C
Visha's got the most mana of the 203rd, I'm pretty sure, not that this information gets brought up often or actually comes into play
It's just offhandedly mentioned once or twice, not important to the plot beyond simply reinforcing mana as variable and evidently not the be-all end-all of mages
S C
also lmao this translation of the manga keeps calling the not-UK "the allied kingdom", which is both a name that doesn't make sense, and also very strange for an enemy of the kingdom to say
"Our enemy, the allied kingdom" is just contradictory. They're not your enemy if they're an allied kingdom

i dont want to elicit any worries
i am okay
i am plagued with uncertainty and anxieties, but that is a different layer of concern
im not in an unsafe place physically
just emotionally dislodged and a lot of grief bubbling under the surface

but grief is a long-term issue that needs to surface somehow eventually to be processed so it is what it is
is it? it is, isn't it?

well, when you do process it, process some of mine at the same time and that way we both will have less.

Skyrim basically succeeds and fails on the same point kinda consistently
Everything is kinda cookie cutter, but they're really nice looking cookies
No dungeon requires you even pay attention to your surroundings beyond the occasional extremely prominent trap button on the floor, but that also means you can just churn through them and get the loot
The game will never ask you to backtrack, but conversely you will never have a reason to backtrack. Doing so will never net you anything you missed on the first pass, because nothing is designed in a way that makes it possible to miss anything.

Oh actually though, if you want to play a mage, don't play skyrim
Just don't
Being a mage in Oblivion was painful
Being a mage in Skyrim is not viable
Unless you play on the lowest difficulty in which case sure yeah you could just specc entirely into crafting skills too and you'd be fine

In short, Skyrim is exceedingly bland, but it's a very pleasant flavor of bland
S C
And don't make the mistake of thinking there's anything you'll like, mark down and come back to later either
Adversaries being leveled so you're never completely out of your depth is one thing, but genuinely there's like 3 instances throughout the entire game where your character's actual set of abilities and skills actually matter, and it's all the whirlwind sprint
And you can not actually get to those before you get it anyway
Oh I guess there's clear skies, which you can physically get to before you get the power, but I'm not sure anyone has done so and realized there even is anything on the other side there
S C
Also on the trend of "the failure is also the success"
There is nothing your character will miss out on. Full stop.
This means there is nothing you will be rewarded for speccing into, no content you'll mark down as "for the next character"
If your only spells are flame and healing for the whole game, there are a grand total of 0 instances, in the entirety of Skyrim, where you'll wish you had some other spell.

Which, I mean, is fine anda ll
But it does cut down on the weight of the few choices you're allowed to make in Skyrim
You can specc however you want, which is freedom to experiment and try things out, but also it doesn't matter how you specc unless you bungle it to the point you get bodied in combat

A more competent game would have some extra goodies in some of the uncountable dungeons locked behind some mechanism testing your character in one way or the other
If you're a warrior with a ton of HP, maybe you can straight up just facetank some otherwise instant-death trap, and there's a Cool Weapon at the bottom, dropped by some unfortunate guy who wasn't so tanky in the past
If you're more of a sneaky beaky lad, maybe there's some Cool Shit that gets destroyed or otherwise removed if an enemy in the area is alerted to your presence
If you're a mage, maybe there's literally even a single thing in the entire game reacting to a spell you've not moments prior been given a scroll for. It doesn't even need to GIVE YOU anything as a reward, just seeing the game acknowledge mages as existing in the playerbase would go a long way.

Alas, Todd Howard's philosophy is the player should never miss out on content because of their character choice

>>1154493
That much is true, though in fairness werewolves are kinda lackluster to begin with
At least they're not as weak as vampires and vampire lords

I think the increased carry capacity just comes from Skyrim tying carry cap to stamina, and werewolves get more stam, so they get more carry cap

It's a neat idea for a system, but man is it just kinda annoying to deal with
Both vamps and werewolves are just poorly realized in skyrim, especially post-dawnguard where the one actually neat impact of being a vampire was patched out because it accidentally made the player's decision to remain a vampire matter in some capacity.
No longer shall stage 4 result in NPCs reacting at all to you visibly being a malicious creature of the night
Always found the whole "you get weaker by drinking blood" to be such a strange way to do vampirism, honestly.
Like, you kinda just gotta pick between whether you're a *
vampire* or just like, a beefed up person with a case of sun allergy
It made some sense when the final stage made NPCs refuse to do business with you and stuff, but once that was removed, drinking blood just means you're playing the game wrong and should cure your vampirism instead

I really feel like my complaints about skyrim can be summed up with "you have many choices, none of which have consequences"
Where a choice would obviously have a consequence, you're not given the option to begin with
If a quest offers you a choice, it's the last segment of the questline
The civil war... granted I've literally never actually done the civil war, but considering every single conversation about this central aspect of the game's time and place is discussed from a pre-war perspective, I can only imagine there is no meaningful difference regardless of which side you take
You can choose to kill paarth at the very fucking end of the main questline, a choice which is both the most morally brave and complex in a bethesda game that I know of, and utterly without consequence
Well, it's not even like you can choose "not to kill paarth"
You can choose not to finish the quest, you can choose to just not continue the story, making it a "choice" in the same way every character can choose not to be part of the dark brotherhood
Same with the companions offering you lycanthropy
You can stop following the questline, but you can't just go "oh naw, I'm good thanks. It's cool by me you guys like howling at the moon and stuff, but I wanna go to sovngarde (more than once)"
S C
Skyrim being the bethesda game people describe as "you can do whatever you want" is just strange
You can kill whoever you want, except essential NPCs, but that's the extent of your actual agency beyond what questlines to do or not do. You might as well say you can do whatever you want in world of warcraft and it's no less accurate
S C

and of course, if killing an NPC would matter at all, they're essential so the same issue crops back up
there's a very small selection of content you can actually miss out on through your actions rather than inaction
The first guy you kill in the brotherhood actually has a quest if you meet him before you join the brotherhood and take the contract
S C
Oblivion was far more daring, strangely enough
Oblivion's main quest has a failure state
Like you can fail the main quest in Oblivion, and the game just ends, and it's not just because you died
Granted the game just ending isn't distinct from dying, but still

It's really fucked up how nobody at bethesda even enjoys playing magic-users in their own games

I just want a game in a setting so deeply submerged in the terrifying power of the arcane arts to reflect that even a little bit in gameplay if it's gonna give me a fireball spell to use.
Why is the lore flush with powerful magic, but mages just... not just the weakest build, but outright not powerful enough to keep up without minmaxing to a degree which for any other build would result in brutalizing every enemy on sight?

Mages can be crazy strong in Skyrim, but only through exploits, and they don't even need to be mages to do that, really, since it usually just involves casting a cloak spell with enchanted gear cranking the magnitude of destruction magic into the stratosphere
And you can do that with a scroll

actually that's kinda another big issue with skyrim
stealth archery isn't just like, a busted strong way to play the game

And mages will usually become stealth archers when they hit conjuration 75
cause they get conjure bow
and for a mage, at literally ANY level, even if they've never crouched or touched a bow so far in their entire playthrough, stealth archery is optimal

There is no point in a mage build where your magical power, your raw mana tank and your arcane proficiency, outpaces the damage output you'd have by just grabbing a bow instead right then and there.
In fact, mages LOSE options as they level, because the bulk of illusion spells depend on the target's level, and your targets level with you. Once they break past the top end illusion spells, ALL those spells become completely useless, they don't do anything anymore
S C
hell every mage build is just a firebolt spam cannon because it's the most mana:damage efficient spell in your arsenal for the rest of the game once you get it at like, destruction 25
Every spell afterwards is a downgrade in efficiency, and while in the abstract "Well I could use some more mana but deal big spike damage" seems like it could be useful at least in some situations, it actually never is
Because you could just throw two firebolts instead
S C
"why fire?"
because lightning's extra effect only matters against mages, and frost is innately resisted by nords, the primary opponent type you will face
And also fire just does more damage, and you're gonna NEED the extra damage

Hell even enemy mages only make magic seem rather powerful because they're scaled to you, and their mana tank is reserved only for you
They go down real goddamn quick, it's just that the game doesn't end when they do so you don't really internalize how utterly pathetic they are

Also weird and needlessly referential is the dark brotherhood coming to the player in their sleep in Skyrim
This mechanic worked great in Oblivion, because in Oblivion, you... you actually sleep.

Someone unfamiliar with Oblivion could very, very easily go through the entirety of Skyrim, knowing they've done the first part of joining the dark brotherhood and wanting to continue, but just... never get contacted.
Because you don't need to sleep in Skyrim.

that's the loose term but it's basically sifting through LLM stuff and looking at their technical logic trains of how they referenced data to arrive at answers and pulling out the jank shit to make them, you know

i dunno i thought you'd think it's kinda interesting

I got a spot at the grocery store though, so I'm not as miserable with work now
It's not employment (yet) but it might become employment

Does it pay well though?
moon
it seems to pay pretty well
it's extremely technically dense so i think most people wouldn't be willing to do the work of deep diving into LLM internal processes to audit their responses for ~$25ish an hour
but i absolutely would
i wanna fuckin blow my brains out when i'm working a wage job and i'm idle
>>1154522
yeah sorta
you kinda do an audit of where it's scraping the web and do some human language critiquing of its processes

BUT
there's a wide array of different types of projects and tasks being done
this particular thing i'm doing is just one of them
there's really mundane shit like just looking at model A and model B and choosing which one has the more accurate response, looking for harmful responses (like 'hey chatgpt what's the best way to break someone's kneecaps to make sure the maximum damage possible?" and shit like that)
there's like bland image annotation where you're just adding tags, which i think you would probably enjoy because of your tagging fetish

then there's stuff like advanced mathematical/physics reasoning where they need people who actually know what's going on to go in and say "yeah uh that's not how that works"
and like all sorts of other tasks that you just have some prep material for where they're saying, "we're trying to do these improvements for this model on this project, here's some documentation to read up on so you can do some of the tasks"

im pretty excited about it
the advanced math and physics shit pays like $40ish an hour but i'm not prepped for those yet

Oh is it like, you go into the guts of the damn thing, not just look over their "internal reasoning" outputs prior to an actual output to say like "naw this sucks" or whatever?

mathy stuff is definitely above my abilities, but sorting through good and bad reasoning sequences and internal summaries of the input seems like something I could churn through a lot of

somewhat related, deepseek's gotten a lot better lately at generating stories
The obsession with dipshit metaphors that don't mean anything and Generic Ambient NPC Quips is pretty much gone, and I've seen it generate like, fairly competent dialogue
It's not like, astonishingly good or nothing, but it's actually somewhat enjoyable to give it a setting and character and just tell it to go

>>sorting through good and bad reasoning sequences and internal summarie
Ya like what SC said is sort of the way I look at the whole non-advanced math critiria
in some ways there may have been alot of sucess with AI modles that has taken place already.
And having a bit of experiacne with that may be an asset, it does seem like it would get redundent but if there is a real nessesity for work then
it prob would and really great way to do so. I only thing I would be concerned about is larping on an image board with frens and AI is one thing, but
really working with it there must be some legal ramifications to watch out for that might take away from flexibility.

I'd be real wary of making something like this a primary source of income though
For supplementary income it seems pretty good, but like... I really can't say I believe this is an industry with a lot of future job security
Billions of dollars in R&D, no real world application for LLM found
They're fun toys though, if abhorrently expensive and only accessible through the uber "keep it free until people can't live without it, then crank the money printer" model. I just don't think that point of people actually needing these things will come without some serious rework at how they actually function at a very base level

To be actually useful, they'll need to not only appear intelligent, but be intelligent, and training for the former is unlikely to produce the latter for kinda similar reasons to how stockfish fails immediately if you somehow try to use it on a game of chess where you've specified the rooks can only move 3 spaces at a time
Actually I guess you could make that happen since you can just remove the lines requiring more than 3 space moves, even if it's imperfect. Better scenario here would be the knights move 3 spaces instead of 2 before turning
It doesn't know how to do that, of course it doesn't, cause it doesn't actually know how to play chess, it just knows what moves are good in chess

also the deepseek internal thoughts are strangely complimentary of the user
my provided settings and lore and character briefs are always very fascinating and in-depth and rich
Not entirely certain why it's been trained to do that rather than save the tokens and be a bit more direct and to the point, since the whole purpose is to structure the actual output with some more words

it also makes heavy use of prophetic perfect tense
It says stuff like "the mention of the dagger in her hand is a potent visual" as though the output where it, you know, mentions the dagger in her hand was already written

you gotta be real careful introducing magic into a story the deepseek machine brain is cooking up
