Nice Things

• Social Justice
  • What is a social justice warrior? Develop the 3rd term.
• Creating something I'm proud of.
• Meeting people I like.

Dream Job?

What does the dream job look like?

Spending my high-mental-effort hours each day building something I am proud of that makes the world better.

Second Place Job?

Second place, which thing would you give up; pride in what you create or making the world better?

I think it's easier to give up on pride in what I build, if I had to pick, but I think there's a balance there. I think compensation is what tips it in favor of keeping pride but not making the world better.

What About Meeting People I Like?

Is there a place for fitting "Meeting people I like" in there?

I think not. I think I can meet people I like in non-career ways more optimally. But that's no reason to ignore the possibility. If its out there, sure, it's a bonus. Amazon gave me that, but it was just too much pain to justify the upside.

How many hours?

• Dedicated hours: 4 x 4 per week.
• Mix some months of 20 - 30 hour weeks with some months off.

How much compensation?

• $80,000 seems like a good target
• 4 x 4 x 50 = 800 billable hours
• Each $100/hr = $80,000/yr

Consider these options:

• 16 hours/wk at $100 = 16 x 50 x $100 = $80,000
  • I would have a hard time doing this, unless it was pretty satisfying as well.
• 8 hours/wk at $200 = 8 x 50 x $200 = $80,000
• 4 hours/wk at $400 = 4 x 50 x $400 = $80,000
  • I think this would be fairly comfortable up to 25 hours a week, even if it wasn't a perfectly satisfying fit.

• $300 x 4 hours/wk = $60,000
• $300 x 20 hours/wk = $300,000

Start at $300/hr. If I get employed more than 20 hours a week consistently, bump the price up. If I get less than 4 hours consistently, bump the price down.

AI

Can Do

• Prediction
• Similarity / Correlation / Clustering / Classification
• Imitation

For Fusion

• Sub-second experiment run time.
• Sensors are wild-assed guesses, maybe? - environment is incredibly chaotic compared to the sensitivity of the sensors, I'm guessing?
• How many control parameters does a magnetic confinement unit have?

Needs

• Lots of example cases.
• Number of examples needed is O(m*n or m^n) where m is the number of features and n is the number of targets.
• Number of examples needed is inverse to the quality and cleanliness of the examples.
