![]() ![]() ![]() I'd however do what I can to make it better, and also be seen by the manager to be keen to improve, and you will likely find you'll get more support. It's easy enough to quit in the first couple of weeks, you'd never need to mention it in a CV, and as long as you do it professionally, it'll be unlikely to ever come back to haunt you. I'd say this by the fact you're asking this question here. My gut feel is that you don't want to just jack this in. In a place like Starbucks, there's a good chance the manager worked their way up, rather than being recruited in, so they may be a font of good tricks for the job. Having said that, what have you done to pick up the job, have you just relied on what they've given you training wise, or have you tried approaching the same manager for mentoring? You'd be surprised how asking someone for their advice can change their attitude. This is wrong, and it can be difficult in any service industry with peaks and lulls, however it could be that the manager has been watching too much Gordon Ramsey and thinking this is how to drive you on (not realising it's Ramsey's passion that drives his frustrations, it's not just shouting). The manager made me cry yesterday after yelling at me when I messed up an order No matter what job I've worked in (from burger chains to senior management) have I ever gone into a new role thinking "I am an expert at this", even if you have experience you still need to learn about how the job works, and that takes time, so 1 week is nothing. I'm going to take a different tack (as is my thing) as no doubt most people answering are in the "you've only been there for a week, just leave" mindset. Even better, they may fire you on the spot. If anything, being calm, collected, professional, and refusing to react to their idiocy will anger them more - which is always fun to watch. Ignore it, don't be tempted to give in to their verbal assault. ![]() They will likely curse at you when you resign, and treat you worse than they already have. The manager has created a caustic environment, you should not be treated this way and you deserve a lot better. If you feel the need to explain the job and why you left, a simple, "While I'm reluctant to badmouth former employers, let's just say that management had difficulty paying employees for all hours worked."ĭon't feel bad about leaving them. A week gap can be ignored easily - and if you worry about it, just use month/year in the resume, and don't put exact dates for work periods. Professional, yes, but nice, no.ĭon't worry about adding them to your resume, or using them as a reference. Don't hand it in before your shift and try to work that shift - I'd do that for a company I cared about, but this isn't a situation where you should be nice. Please do not resign at the start of your shift - give them at least enough notice so they can get someone else in to replace you if you can't work your last shift. Since it's only been a week you can be nice and give them a few days notice, but honestly I'd use today's date, hand it in at the end of your shift, and leave. The paper is important as it sets the date in a way that they can't forget or deceptively claim you didn't give them notice. You don't need to provide an explanation, but if they ask simply say, "I discovered that the position doesn't align with my current goals." Don't attempt an explanation in the letter. This serves notice that I'm resigning my position as with. It doesn't need to be anything fancy or official, but it needs to clearly state your last day of work: Type or write up a letter of resignation. Unless you 1) believe the manager will actually be interesting in changing their management style or 2) are willing to fight to be paid those unpaid hours then there is no reason to bring those bad aspects of the job up. Leaving a bad job after only a week will not leave a bad mark on your employment history no matter how you leave. How do I go about quitting properly, in a professional manner where this won't leave a bad mark on my employment history? ![]()

![]() ![]() My initial attempt failed, and I & several others failed for over more than half a decade to find any primary source (just secondary sources citing each other). Is it?Īs it would be so useful a cautionary example for AI safety/alignment research, and was cited to that effect by Eliezer Yudkowsky but only to a secondary source, I decided to make myself useful by finding a proper primary source for it & see if there were more juicy details worth mentioning. It would be a good & instructive story… if it were true. In this context, a cautionary story is often told of incautious researchers decades ago who trained a NN for the military to find images of tanks, only to discover they had trained a neural network to detect something else entirely (what, precisely, that something else was varies in the telling). With this approach of “neural net all the things!”, the question of to what extent the trained neural networks are useful in the real world and will do what we want it to do & not what we told it to do has taken on additional importance, especially given the possibility of neural networks learning to accomplish extremely inconvenient things like inferring individual human differences such as criminality or homosexuality (to give two highly controversial recent examples where the meaningfulness of claimed success have been severely questioned). ![]() Convolutional neural networks are now applied to not just ordinary tasks like sorting cucumbers by quality but everything from predicting the best Go move to where in the world it was taken to whether a photograph is “interesting” or “pretty”, not to mention supercharging traditional tasks like radiology interpretation or facial recognition which have reached levels of accuracy that could only be dreamed of decades ago. I suggest that dataset bias is real but exaggerated by the tank story, giving a misleading indication of risks from deep learning and that it would be better to not repeat it but use real examples of dataset bias and focus on larger-scale risks like AI systems optimizing for wrong utility functions.ĭeep learning’s rise over the past decade and dominance in image processing tasks has led to an explosion of applications attempting to infer high-level semantics locked up in raw sensory data like photographs. I collate many extent versions dating back a quarter of a century to 1992 along with two NN-related anecdotes from the 1960s their contradictions & details indicate a classic “urban legend”, with a probable origin in a speculative question in the 1960s by Edward Fredkin at an AI conference about some early NN research, which was then classified & never followed up on. This story is often told to warn about the limits of algorithms and importance of data collection to avoid “dataset bias”/“data leakage” where the collected data can be solved using algorithms that do not generalize to the true data distribution, but the tank story is usually never sourced. A cautionary tale in artificial intelligence tells about researchers training an neural network (NN) to detect tanks in photographs, succeeding, only to realize the photographs had been collected under specific conditions for tanks/non-tanks and the NN had learned something useless like time of day. ![]() ![]() This post is going to explain why I think that, and why this company really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Quests, stats, lots of gear+upgrades, skills, puzzles, story and adventure.Ĭurrently playing Fabled Lands and have completed a couple quests. It's just one of those things.Īs someone who plays games, I would recommend the Destiny Quest gamebooks start with the 2nd book. I know the guys who write these books just don't make any real money from them so I don't blame them for not finishing it either. The last time I put in a lot effort to go somewhere and stick within the map of the book I was reading, only to be told to go to book 12. What stopped me reading Fable Lands was 3 times I was told to go books that will never be written. It just turns out to be a lot of trial and error (which means deaths + restarts) as well as not expecting to 100% everything, which isn't as fun but remember how old these books are, also the books are not complete. Also were some quests/places I never worked out. There was a quest that seemed a simple fun quest in book 1 and I could not work out where to go but it turned out it was later completed in Book 4 or 5. I read these like 6months ago, if I remember right I had the same problems as you and I also play video game RPGs.įinding where to go can be a pain, and that is if you find a quest to start with. ![]() Instead, you're supposed to wander around and explore, and your reward for doing so is to find the item/earn the title/etc that allows you to go back and complete a previously-discovered quest. The conclusion I've come to is this: In Fabled Lands, you aren't meant to easily find and complete quests. So maybe I'm missing some fun content that way also. I also realized that I tend to 'play it safe' and avoid some of the more interesting locations out of fear of losing my character (or wasting a resurrection deal). Either that, or I arrive at the indicated location but I'm turned away because I don't have a certain item or title (and no idea how to attain it).Ĭoming from a background in video game RPGs (where you walk into a tavern and leave with a handful of new quests), I'm wondering if I need to adjust my expectations a little. I have no trouble finding codewords/items/rumors that are clearly meant to lead me toward quests, but they often don't give much information about where to go. ![]() I've played for about 10 hours, and during my misadventures I've only managed to find a handful of quests I was able to complete. The problem I'm having is figuring out how quests work. That seems to be the biggest hurdle for new players.

For example, the English might have numerical superiority, but as their commander you find yourself constantly ‘fire fighting’ in Wales and Ireland, leaving you at risk should either Scotland rebel or your own Barons get ideas. Mostly, however, it comes down to the factions involved, in the strengths they boast and the limitations that constrain them. Partly, it’s the settings – there’s a real contrast between the icy wilds of Lithuania and the arid desert of the Holy Land, and between the green fields of England and the humid jungles of South America.

It’s 1521 and the Conquistadors have come to plunder. Poland, Novgorod and Denmark, however, are concerned that the Order’s ambitions don’t stop there. It’s 1250 and the Teutonic Order has decided to wipe Pagan worship from Lithuania in the most bloody and brutal manner possible. Could this be the right time for the Byzantine Empire to seize the moment and recapture its past glory? Third, The Teutonic Campaign. Christian Knights hold the lands along the Western coast, but the Turks and Egyptians want the Infidels out. In the meantime, the Norwegians have plans for the North-Eastern reaches, and grumpy Barons are looking for signs of weakness in case they can have a crack at the crown. The English under Henry III are in charge, but they’ve spread themselves too thin and the Welsh, Irish and Scots are beginning to hate their guts. Kingdoms gives you four.įirst up, Britain, 1258. Most expansion packs give you one new twist on the original experience. And this is the key point in Kingdoms’ favour. What’s more, the campaigns chosen have given The Creative Assembly scope to experiment with new styles of play and new challenges. If Medieval 2 was all about the big, sweeping picture – the headlines of the middle ages News at Ten – then this is the in-depth analysis the game where you really get to grips with the workings of history. In other words, the rich, ocean-deep gameplay of Medieval 2 is intact. ![]() Even if you’re dealing with one small island group – the British Isles – you still have a lot of cities, armies and personalities to deal with. We do get some new areas – specifically the Americas and an expanded Holy Land – but Kingdoms is all about taking things down a little, and getting stuck in a smaller campaign fought over a shorter period with fewer combatants and clearer, more straightforward goals.ĭon’t get too hopeful if you found Medieval 2 a little overwhelming at times while Kingdoms is a little more approachable, the reduction in scale is accompanied by a rise in detail. ![]() It’s as if The Creative Assembly had decided to take a magnifying glass to the Medieval 2 map and concentrate on specific areas and specific points in history. So it might seem strange that, while an ordinary expansion pack would simply make the game bigger still or extend it into a new era, Kingdoms actually represents a reduction in scale. Covering economics, religion, diplomacy and military might, it’s one of the most comprehensive historical strategy games around. Here is a game where you can decide the fate of Europe’s biggest nations at some of the most vital points in their history, and fight wars that range across and beyond the continent itself. A major part of the appeal of Medieval 2 – and indeed of the whole Total War series – is its epic quality. The fact that it’s also one of the best is not entirely unconnected. In a way, Kingdoms is one of the most counter-intuitive expansion packs I’ve ever come across. ![]() ![]() IOS 8 or later, tvOS 9 or later, watchOS 2 or later The system requirements of Xcode 11 are the following.

Therefore all reservations need to be applied to actual dbase usage before their term expires. Unlike compute instances, unused RDS instances cannot be sold in the AWS Marketplace. However, Reserved Instances do not offer the same flexibility for Amazon Redshift services as they do for Amazon EC2 instances. With a 3-year plan, the savings can go up to 75%. Depending on your location and the node type and size, the 1-year plan can save as much as 42% over on-demand pricing. While the discount for a full upfront payment is the highest, the savings differential from partial upfront is not significant, therefore you can preserve part of the initial capital outlay for other investments. The most cost effective option is to make a partial upfront payment. The discount will vary based on the upfront payment you can make. One way to reduce spending is to commit to a set number of nodes for 1- or 3-year term with Amazon’s reserved instances pricing model. How Can You Reduce Redshift Costs? Use Reserved Instances For companies using DS2 nodes with hard disk drive storage, upgrading to RA3 nodes will provide twice as much storage and improved performance at the same price. DC2 nodes provide data warehouses that are compute-intensive - local high performance SSD storage is included. RA3 nodes with managed storage let you scale your data warehouse storage capacity without adding and paying for additional nodes. You can choose the right node type according to the performance required, amount of data to be processed and your plans for growth. In the Amazon Redshift architecture, there are three node types: RA3, DC2 and DS2. What are the Different Redshift Node Types? ![]() You can commit to a 1-year or 3-year term, with no upfront payment, make a partial payment or pay in full upfront. Reserved instances, costing substantially less, are ideal for steady workloads. You don’t have to plan for or purchase instances before you’re certain of what you need, such as during development or testing. Your rate is calculated based on the type and number of nodes in your data warehouse cluster. With Amazon Redshift on-demand pricing, you pay for storage capacity at an hourly rate, with no upfront cost or commitment. Managed Storage pricing lets you pay an hourly rate for data stored in RA3 clusters, regardless of how many compute nodes are provisioned. Thousands of concurrent users and queries enjoy fast performance, and you only pay the on-demand, per-second rate for usage beyond the free credits. ![]() With Concurrency Scaling pricing, each cluster of nodes earns up to an hour of free concurrency scaling credits every 24-hour period. Redshift Spectrum, for directly running SQL queries against data in your S3 data lake, is priced at $5.00 per terabyte. What Different Costs are Involved with Redshift?Īmazon Redshift On-Demand pricing lets you pay hourly, based on node usage. You can add nodes to improve query performance and boost data storage. The more expensive DS nodes are recommended for larger stores of data above 500GB. DC nodes are optimized for quicker, more efficient queries. If you expect your data to grow over time, RA3 nodes will provide the best price and performance. Three types of Redshift nodes are available - RA3, Dense Compute (DC) and Dense Storage (DS) - based on how your data is stored. Costs vary greatly by region, though the storage capacity and computing power remains constant, regardless of location. ![]() How is Redshift Pricing Determined?Īmazon’s Redshift pricing is based on the node type used and the physical location of the stored data. Therefore it is important to understand the different pricing options available to get the most value out of your dbase services on AWS. Redshift is the most robust data warehouse available, but it can be an expensive proposition, making management and optimization extremely critical. Choosing the right pricing plan will help your company save money, as will taking advantage of built-in tools and savvy management of Redshift operations. Redshift allows for flexibility and scaling to fit your company’s data needs, from on-demand, hourly rates to discounted rates through reserved instances. If your company is using Amazon Redshift for data warehousing and analytics in the cloud, you may be confused by AWS Redshift pricing options. ![]() ![]() ![]() 30 if you meet the following requirements: Additionally, always maintain regular contact with your potential employer to receive updates on the status of your H-1B petition, should they file one for you.Īs an F-1 student, you may be eligible for an extension of your F-1 status through Sept.
