Classic example of how dangerous rust is.

If they had just used Python and ran the whole thing in a try block with bare except this would have never been an issue.

“We’re at a point now where robots can move more sensually than Taylor Swift.”

What?

This picture looks like someone is going to throw a hammer through the picture

The video game subs are 100% cesspools of negativity now.

Reddit has a huge whiner bias problem.

I feel like we’re slowly growing here, lots of very rich communities have been built now.

But yes, my city and hobby communities are still a ghost town. We don’t have critical mass on lots of stuff yet.

The fun part is after you guess you get to find out when your liver fails and you get a transplant

See Google Chrome too.

This time they want the racism.

Some of these bought decommissioned power plants like old coal plants, so they’re getting wholesale prices for energy.

All the emoji will help users read and understand!

So I’m curious what people think of this.

There’s consent from the shopper and the retailer, so it’s not unethical, but obviously the model developers are going to enshittify and try to extract as much value as they can.

I ask because just this morning I got an offer to work on exactly this.

Thank Amazon and Walmart, and consumers choosing an artificially cheap product over a curated experience and knowledgeable staff.

What’s the consensus on napping? I like it, at 3/4 I’m burned out and need one.

If you’re serious, Reddit had/has an extreme fixation for clipping scenes with Alexandra Daddario, Jennifer Lawrence, Megan Fox, Sydney Sweeney, and Ana De Armas.

They’d get posted to /r/celebs and watch it for the plot.

Rocm is still a huge pain the ass to use with PyTorch.

I’m sure it’s fine for basic stuff, but the AI side is a mess.

I can do most models but none of the new attention architectures. Getting diffusion to work reliably is also difficult, though I do have that working.

This is exactly it.

The lyrics are basically just the “I’m a piece of shit and won’t change” genre, and apparently that resonates with a lot of people somehow.

The only time I’ve had an enemy in my life I was 6 years old, I don’t get these songs man.

side note: I’m heterosexual but I did not know that Bo Burnham is low key fuckable.

Well at least he’s memory safe

I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but I definitely think this is the case.

After the kid gloves for Trump, reaction of the Epstein files, etc. I don’t think there’s any other conclusion.

Yes

I tried a “bacon ale” at a festival, which was a shitty super bitter IPA (as was the tend, gotta max those IBUs) that tasted of raw bacon. It is still the worst beer I’ve ever had.

I got a bacon candle as a gift which was absolutely terrible. It just smelled bad, and not at all like cooking bacon.

Racial profiling keeps getting reinvented.

Fuck that.

They then used data on these individuals’ labour-market outcomes to see whether the Photo Big Five had any predictive power. The answer, they conclude, is yes: facial analysis has useful things to say about a person’s post-mba earnings and propensity to move jobs, among other things.

Correlation vs causation. More attractive people will be defaulted to better negotiating positions. People with richer backgrounds will probably look healthier. People from high stress environments will show signs of stress through skin wrinkles and resting muscles.

This is going to do nothing but enforce systemic biases, but in a kafkaesque Gattica way.

And then of course you have the garden of forking paths.

These models have zero restraint on their features, so we have an extremely large feature space, and we train the model to pick features predictive of the outcome. Even the process of training, evaluating, then selecting the best model at this scale ends up being essentially P hacking.
