I was denied the vaccine by my healthcare provider as a man in my mid-20s. Their reasoning being that I was likely already exposed.

It may have been true, but would still have liked to get the vaccine since it covers many multiple strains.

It also seems, really low?

A stack of bills is roughly 0.5 inches. Assuming a 12-ft joist-to-joist spacing, that's 12 feet per floor \times 12 inches per foot \times 2 stacks per inch = 288 stacks per floor = $2.88M per floor since a stack of 100s is $10k

So that would be a 1,000M / 2.88M ~ 347 story building.

Or is my unit conversion wildly off from dealing with sick kids over the holidays?

Not sure about this one in specific but assuming most of the time the system is idle at ~200W, you’d be looking at ~$25/mo for most states in the US.

Peak draw could probably be 2kW for a beefy system so electricity costs could really skyrocket depending on usage patterns.

> and learns how to say "where's the bathroom", "hello", "would you like to sleep with me", "thank you", "goodbye"

Quite a story condensed into those five phrases.

A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to get into this so I started self-studying probability theory (with measure theory) [0] as a bridge to start in on stochastic calculus [1]

I think the hardest part of self-studying anything that has some formal math foundations is knowing _what_ to pay attention to. There's so much in just the first chapter of the probability book. Is having a general understanding of set theory enough or should I actually know how to prove a function is a singular function?

That's why I often like to find a university course with lectures posted online so I can use that as a rough guideline for what's important, but I haven't quite found that yet for stochastic calculus. Would love if someone coul point me to one.

Totally, it's going to take a minute to get it all working. On a positive note, they recently got some sponsorship from Modal [0], who is supplying GPUs for CI/CD so they should be able to expand their hardware coverage.

The Rust-CUDA project just recently started up again [0], I've started digging into it a little bit and am hoping to contribute to it since the summers are a little slower for me.

I know a similar number but they were "acquihired" to essentially return money to investors and get the founders promotions at their former companies. So an exit on paper even if it's not necessarily so in practice.
