Go ahead, cry a little, as a treat

Thank you, will check it out!

I came across the topic of AI security, and been reading up on it, but as I have a weak background in Machine learning, I’m not really able to follow the frontier discourse.

I’d very much appreciate any recommendations as to where to find more foundational level materials for getting into it. Any tips?

I have a background as a technical specialist and consultant, but not in software. Is the best way to transition through a re-education? Or are there other steps to try out the industry before committing years of school?

Also, how is the career prospects within the current mass IT layoffs?

Check out figure 2 it shows equivalent cooling in energy units. Meaning how much energy is carried away by perspiration, and showing it for different levels of humidity. I read it as between 5-10% lower at higher humidity.

Compare that to the radiant heat difference (from 32 degrees to 22, as per the cooling chart) which cools you about 286 % more. And with convective cooling we expect even more at higher temperature differences.

(Calculated with Boltzmanns law for 310 K body temperature)

Check the source, net difference is 10%

You are unfortunately wrong in your scepticism, they’ve been used for millennia to great effect, and are even part of how ice was made.

In a modestly arid climate (like a mountainous region) with 30% ambient humidity, you can achieve, a 12 °C drop, that’s a lot more than the ~10% of lost sweat cooling.

I get that the topic evokes a lot of emotions, but I don’t understand why the reasons are offensive, are we not all making the beat decisions we can with what information we have?

For some there might be reasons and considerations more important than granting their offspring a life without strife (and thus make different moral judgements). I’m not trying to judge one choice over the other, I’m curious as to why the topic gets so personal and passionate even with people who otherwise are level-headed and well reasoned.

Yeah, I’ve gathered that the topic is contentious, but I don’t understand why.

Just as child free persons have their reasons, most parents probably have theirs, be it conscious, normative, or pressured. And at least to me, the discussion is about the choice and reasons, rather than any judgement.

I was hoping not to stir the pot, but to get a better understanding on why there’s such heated feelings.

A slightly left turn topic: How do you feel/think about people who are voluntarily child free?

You can apparently freeze starter, but it will take 2-3 days to get going again, so it’s not no less effort than starting over, you just get to keep some of your culture.

Where I’m at there is starter at the grocery store just next to the yeast, seems like that would be the most convenient for you
