  • I don’t know a lot about other fields but stat people are hired a lot by research institutions. A good statistician can reduce the number of experiments you need to do, being able to test a drug/treatment with 7 people instead of 100 means a lot. They save a lot of money.

    Also being able to make inference from past data, incomplete data, use correct math (there is always different ways to solve things) so they don’t make mistakes.

    And a lot of people with stat degree join either academia, or other fields that have actual problems and use their background to solve issues.



  • You expected version should always be more than what you’re today. Not because you’re bad but because you’ll just get better anyway. Learn to be satisfied in life with little things and little improvements, those will slowly make things better.

    Also I find that having little projects (in computer or real life) where you make things helps with mental health. When you build something, however minor, it gives you the feeling of accomplishment. And if you can focus on making something, solving those problems, then you are sufficiently distracted as well.







  • I had an idea I wonder if the energy thing can be salvaged. Like uranium to lead happens naturally and the energy is too little from a single atom. But we don’t have to do things naturally. If I’m controlling the atom itself, maybe I can just split all protons and neutrons from the uranium at once, then I have a bunch of free particles that can go collide with other atoms and start a chain reaction.

    I think most powers, even with limitations, probably is going to be useful once we know the clear limits. Maybe not the one that need so much energy and the results are random so you can fail and not be able to try again.









  • Arch also kinda allows that if you write custom PKGBUILD file. It’s easy to write for simple stuffs that are based on make/cargo etc.

    It’s time consuming if some program gives you 100s of lines of code in bash script to install their program though.

    Edit:

    Another disadvantage of building from source is dependency management. You might accidentally uninstall some dependencies, the standard library versions might change and break your packages, etc.

    Using package manager mitigates that.
