I very much want to read about these

Is there a story here?

See Google Chrome too.

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.

Oof, GitHub doing a cloud lift and shift to Azure.

I’ve done major lift and shifts, expect 2 years of runway on this feature pause.

Inevitably some teams are going to add new features and it’s going to get janky (happens every time).

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.

The other day o spent a bunch of time carefully dissecting and then rewriting some code from the guy before me.

Turns out that code was never used, he just didn’t remove it or comment it out.

That was a good use of a couple hours.

Not my software.

No tests, no users, no bugs.

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’ll believe it even I see it, just like any Trump news.

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.

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.

When they deviated from the books the whole thing went to shit. They lost any good banter and actually deep plots.
