@freemo Same. Yea I became dissappointed in the direction eugene was talking Mastodon.
Its weird seeing so many new people,.but Im all for it.
I wasnt expecting myself to get swamped by AI. Not large language models though.
Small Language Models.
@LWFlouisa Havent seen you in years, figured you left the fediverse.. Its wonderful to see you again!
@freepeoplesfreepress @trinsec @khird
Open to anyone who wants an account on them sure.
Our generally considerate talk-it-out moderation style that is very fair handed is a big part of it for most people.
The fediverse has a tendency to pile-on with people. this will cause many moderators to ban users just for being unpopular even when they do nothing wrong. Many of our members feel pretty safe. As long as they act reasonably decently and dont go being a literal Nazi or a racist or something then you are probably ok here.
@lupyuen Dont tempt me man, I just flew out to thailand for some noodles :) ::eyes you:: :)
@sergeant A mother fucking genius, thats who!

Never forget layers 8, 9, and 10.

So I was thinking a bit and want to get some input... As you all know QOTO is for anyone in STEM as a professional or with a passion for the topic.
I just had an idea of starting a sister-server, one based on the same principle as QOTO but oriented specifically for students and amateurs as seperate from QOTO, which will remain open to everyone.
This separation can have a few advantages. For starters a new server that will have a new reputation in the fediverse so will have much larger initial reach . But more importantly we can use the main server as sort of a source for mentorship for those on the younger server. I'd like to setup extracurricular servers that might be good to facilitate this and provide learning resources as well as publish more advanced content. Maybe even start a scientific journal or organize a shared blog where all our members can post to as a collective...
I'd love some thoughts.

@lupyuen Man that looks fricking amazing... When are you going to invite your local neighboorhood friendly QOTO admin over to eat all your food and say hi :)

I am always glad when I hear people like it here and appreciate the style of moderation I brought. I appreciate that thanks for telling me.
I know I started #QOTO because i wasnt happy with any of the moderation on any of the servers out there. So I wanted to create my ideal moderation paradise. I never though so many people would gravitate towards it, its great!
Please #Share this to help others, thanks!
I offer free tutoring in most college level #STEM courses. Can be online, just random questions, video chat, or even in person.
If anyone needs help learning any STEM topic (even you arent in school), please reach out to me I am always happy to help. If I dont know the subject I can also maybe connect you with someone who does, but I am well versed on most of the basics like #Math, #Biology #statistics #BigData #programming #Chemistry #Medicine #ElectricalEngineering and #RF design.
Probably the exact thought every single person who has ever worked for me had the first hour or two they met me :)
I want to code #haskell so bad, but even now as I contemplate a green field project I just cant convince myself its a pragmatic decision...
I really need to find siome way to use this amazingly gun language!
@cobratbq yea looking for specific answers is rarely a helpful approach.
@tatzelbrumm Ya know oddly enough i cant remember ever being interviewed for the EE positions I've had. I was just offered the job no interview, or started as a non-EE and moved over once in my early career.

@tatzelbrumm Usually if the interviewee is struggling or stressed I will remind them of this story, that I have had people who couldnt answer a single question that I've hired and that I care more about how they reason their way through a problem than what they know... so hopefully that helps the unequal treatment somewhat.
As for some of the questions I ask, I usually have a range of them from simple, to advanced but most of them are designed to have multiple levels of answers.
Also keep in mind since ive worked in so many diverse fields, usually as the boss, that the questions vary dramatically based on the field. Hiring chemists are very different questions than programmers, or medical doctors, or electrical engineers. So its hard to give you good examples that really covers the gammut.
I think you're a programmer IIRC so let me give you some examples from there:
On the whiteboard, in psuedocode, write for me an algorithm that will check if a number is prime. How would you be able to optimize it if you were asked to generate a bin of primes rather than to test for prime?
What is the difference between little-O, big-O little-omega and big-omega?
How would you evaluate a conventionally written algorithm to determine if it is likely to be suitable for GPU acceleration?
What is the fork-join pattern useful for and why is it so important?
