<p>> 12 to 18 months of linear algebra<p>Do you mean full-time study, or something else? I’ve been using inference endpoints but have recently been trying to go deeper and struggling, but I’m not sure where to start.<p>For example, when selecting an ASR model I was able to understand the various architectures through high-level descriptions and metaphors, but I’d like to have a deeper understanding/intuition instead of needing to outsource that to summaries and explainers from other people.</p>

<p>I’m a “Python guy” in that I write Python professionally, but also am like you in that I’ve been extremely underwhelmed by Portry/Pipenv/etc.<p>Python dependencies are still janky, but uv is a significant improvement over existing tools in both performance and ergonomics.</p>

<p>> Think of it this way, if you were going to an event and saw 'buffet available' you'd enquire how to access it. If you saw 'open buffet' you'd know it's just there for the taking.<p>I think maybe you’re making a different point than you mean to?<p>- Buffet available = you can view the buffet for free, but you have to pay to use it<p>- Open buffet = you can use the buffet for free, it’s just there for the taking</p>

<p>RE: Fidelity Zero<p>The downside, as I understand it, is that Fidelity Zero doesn’t offer ETFs, and that the Fidelity Zero mutual funds can’t be transferred to other brokerages. Depending on your preferences their expense ratios might justify the vendor lock-in, but Vanguard ETFs are hard to beat IMO.</p>

<p>Do you mean the “so you want to ____” format? If so, I don’t think it’s an allusion to HTML Goodies — it’s a decently popular meme that goes back at least the early 80’s (e.g. “So You Want To Be A Wizard”).</p>

<p>What you’re describing isn’t really agnosticism. Agnosticism is about not knowing if gods exist, not about thinking their existence doesn’t matter.<p>The mix-and-match approach you’re describing is seems more closely related to religious syncretism.</p>

<p>Atheism is not a religion – it’s simply the absence of belief in gods. Religions involve organized systems of practices, rituals, and doctrines, none of which apply to atheism. Not believing in something doesn’t make it a belief system, just like not collecting stamps isn’t a hobby.</p>

<p>Running a VM gives the parent the ability to read/write arbitrary memory without [even rootkit] anticheat being able to detect, which <i>can</i> facilitate cheating, and therefore can earn you bans. The whole point of the rootkit is that the game can confirm that you don’t have any way to read/write arbitrary memory.</p>
