some of the things come up over and over and over... I've trained 5 people in being food service acapble for the volunteer fire pancake breakfast and they've all moved to the county seat. I'm just a jobs program I guess.

but you own those repos, and you own the tooling on them. if tooling sprawls in many repos, it can sprawl in sub areas of a mono-repo. it's interesting that it's less work to build a new source control system versus manage multi-repo and cross builds.

you misunderstood what I said. I said the shaking. That's hydraulics and big resonant chambers... it's what you think it is.

way back in the dark ages when I was in college I used the hell out of back files. we all did. Over the years the teachers had added more and more homework because the students using backfiles were answering more and more homework correctly. The teacher swore that home work should take about 3 hours a week. the smartest guy I knew did it once without backfiles, because the fraternties, the holders of the backfiles, were all at an off campus event. it took 17 hours. he just gave up and used the backfiles.

I don't think homework load has adjusted in some classes. it was hard to do the homework and learn honestly, it was just copying and finding previous answers. it actually detracted from the learning experience.

it would be nice to have something that could explain it to me, like a tutor. My mom paid for me to have a private tutor to get me through a compressed calc 3 summer class. Best I scored in a math class other than diffy-q.

so I think it's, like everything, on the student. but fuck the homework load at some places, it's not a good solution.

for me it's not the truck that's that loud... it's the shaking of the trash can and dropping it on the pavement to fall over that makes the noise

EV can drive some siiiick bass..

My fire/emt up in the mountains near seattle requires 48 hours a month and around another 8 hours a month training (which can be concurrent with shifts usually). But that also includes sleep if you're not called. As others have said, it's dependent.

The CE hours is really annoying and really unclear until you realize they're replacing a self attestation method with CBT automation and software. I had easily more hours of certs in one year than I needed for my bi-annual cert. Heck Hazmat ops or awareness covered half of the total hours.

It is annoying though. I'm pretty sure they're trying to make it easier but it's confusing. The real issue is that none of the old folks at my station care about keeping up the NREMT up as they don't even have one, and the career folks just care about state which is automatic as part of doing their jobs.

Just remember that for every CBT you do online, you also do a hour of practical sign off.

I would find it quite hard to stay in practice just doing the test, nothing beats the randomness of patient contacts.

Just need that healthcare and something to keep the ADHD at bay.

I'm about to turn 50. I became an EMT 2 years ago and a Fire 1 last year. You're no where too old.

I would guess marathons select for people trying to push themselves hard, in a short period of training time and for a relatively short period of time. I also wouldn't be surprised if marathon attendance skews upper 40s / low 50s, male, and recently got in shape. That's a bit different than sitting in the desert doing drugs. the risk there would be respiratory distress / fent od is my guess.

it's a lot easier to get someone out of an opioid od in the field than it is out of cardiac arrest, or at least the treatment protocol is.

could cities just not have the readers?

I don't really get how you stop that though. How do you even quantify the intelligence of these models? Right now that's mostly by benchmarks. You could just make it fail benchmarks while do well at internal benchmarks.

You could also very likely optimize the current models to be a lot more energy efficient, that'd be a win even if they didn't become more intelligent.

But none of that stops anyone else from researching or improving their models. Or a nation you've told to fuck off from doing so as well.

As has been said in the past, one doesn't put the genie back in the bottle. We only really "stopped" researching nukes because there was diminishing returns. Though one could posit we stopped because simulation became good enough or a myriad of other reasons.

When you're talking about nation state weapons capabilities I don't think you stop, but ai is even easier to share than nukes, it's just a few gigs of numbers versus heavy dangerous materials that are very difficult to source and make. Every gamer, mac owner, etc has the equiv lent of a centrifuge on their desk. Not everyone has a centrifuge on their desk.

most structure and wildland fire has moved away from pfas based foams. not everywhere and not for aiports, but most other places.
