With RL+Planning, my goal is to eventually be able to tradeoff classical estimation and planning with end-to-end systems, and use the best parts of either for a better-than-either pipeline. At the jobs I've had I've seen a weird false dichotomy that produces decent results once committed, but there's always this tension that "the other way" is better, producing weird politics.
Most recently, a classical planning pipeline was completely broken by an ML-based estimation of orientation of obstacles. On inspection they were using quite possibly the worst estimator you could use, and ignoring all kinds of good data, because (I think) they were counting on perfect "measurements" from the ML-based vision system. That kind of thing must happen all the time - get stuck in a local minimum of "tune just a little better" when a good filter on top of a noisy estimator could solve all your problems. There's probably a million such examples in planning systems too.

I want to learn how to make fairly simple characters in blender, so that I can make more unique games, as opposed to using 100% pre-made assets.
If blender is a bit overwhelming for you (it was for me), give blockbench a try. I love how simple everything is, and you can always add plugins if you miss something. Its open-source too!
1. Non technical skills: Going to be parent for first time. So anxious and so learning to be a good parent 2. Technical skills: Improve Rust understanding, writing a technical blog. Does anyone have tips on how get started with technical blog?
I present my outline to an AI chat and ask for other ways to structure it. Ask for some fun headings and the paragraphs will flow.
Share any failed search terms or unsearchable ideas. That way people can respond with "you have to search for frobnocator".
Understand that the faster you can go from and idea to a post the happier you will be. A quick one pot pasta dinner with interesting touches. Not a multi pan demanding process that requires that 6 things go exactly right.
Think about writers that you like and what it is you like about them. I like Joe Armstrong of erlang fame. He wrote it a casual friendly style that got you curious about the system and any number of deeply technical issues
I want to learn how to properly build a habit/routine that isn't dopamine driven. I have ADHD and I recently realized, even as I'm pushing 50 years old, that all of my hobbies, habits, and "likes" have been dopamine driven. I need to learn how to exclude the reward of a dopamine hit as the reason for doing something. Resources welcome.
I am also diagnosed with ADHD. I can't change my brain chemistry so I've come to the conclusion that if dopamine driven activities is what keeps me going then so be it. Instead of fighting it, I welcome it. ymmv.

> all of my hobbies, habits, and "likes" have been dopamine driven Would you mind giving examples. I ask because I’m wondering about a family member.
