It's kind of amazing that ML can now intelligently rick roll people.

I think it would be awesome to update the rickroll feature to the following:

Auto Re-run the img2img with some text prompt: "all of the people are now Rick Astley" with low strength so it can adjust the faces, but not change the nudity!!!1
Also, of course, it's entirely free. The web version is actually paid, though it's hard to tell because they're not super transparent about the fact that you're steadily eating through a quota of initial tokens.
I'm not suggesting you do. You make connections, friends, people to work on things with. Then maybe something develops.

However, I should note that as a technical cofounder attending these events, I've been approached and flirted with heavily by single female entrepreneurs who have ideas they haven't started building yet, who seem to be looking for a convenient all-in-one package of "a boyfriend who's also an entrepreneur, who can 'yes, and' my ambitions, and who has enough skill+experience to actually build the tech side of the things we imagine together." I'm neither single, nor a free agent business-wise, but some people can be both very pushy and presumptive.
In a previous life, I was a mechanical engineer and interviewed at an engine research company. I know a lot about engines but the three engineers interviewing me were world experts. Format was me standing in front of a whiteboard and the panel firing questions at me, picking apart my answers and bottoming out my knowledge.

It was all very high stress with questions and answers going back and forth. There was a long pause which was broken by one of the engineers asking:
"Do you drink beer?"

I didn't get the job.
What’s wrong with Facebook? It probably works better for lots of groups - at least you don’t have to pay Facebook £80, and they won’t sell your group to someone else if you don’t pay.
Arthur Brooks strikes me as a genuinely nice and interesting person. But I wonder, how much did he get paid to run a billionaire funded thinktank (and that tank of thoughts seemed mostly full of "give tax cuts to billionaires")?

I assume it paid pretty well. I also assume it's pretty easy to be nice and easygoing and thoughtful when you don't have to worry about where your kids next meal or health insurance payment is coming from.
The wheels of justice turn slowly for everybody. If the headline for this story was "$36MM defamation judgement takes years to appeal", nobody would click.
There are lots of complex reasons people are postulating here, but I think it's pretty simple. The CPU can do good enough audio rendering without hardware acceleration. The CPU can't do good enough graphics rendering without hardware acceleration. So video accelerators stayed, and sound accelerators died.

Add-on sound devices still exist, but they are simple because they don't include extensive hardware acceleration anything like what a GPU has. In fact, if you want hardware acceleration for audio processing algorithms today, like really fancy 3D sound propagation or something, GPUs would actually be great at that, and they support digital audio output too.
You think it's too high or too low?
The standard expectation in the cryptocurrency space is that all problems are adjudicated via blockchain mechanisms (on chain, off chain, etc.) in a decentralized way. The fact that the government (a centralized, non-blockchain entity) has to step in to address a problem indicates a failure of the cryptocurrency ideal.
Just wait for Proof-of-Stake to be implemented. It will solve all of the problems people complain about with Crypto.
An organized disinformation campaign is what I would consider to be irrational argument and deserving of regulation; we already accept limits on deceptive and harmful expression by way of regulation and criminal legislation. Ie, one can't simply sell strychnine and claim it's a panacea, or defraud investors with cooked financials.

But that's different from a zeitgeist of individuals who believe in falsehoods and argue for what they believe to be true; any single one of which may be acting rationally and arguing in good faith.
What substance?

> This kind if title is rich coming from the fear mongering media. Particularly as the story right above this in the most popular stories section is "America’s Fall Booster Plan Has a Fatal Paradox"

and

> The best thing to teach your kid is to clearly show them how the media and politicians lie and manipulate by showing their contradtory talking vs behaviour vs what they actually do side-by-side meme style.

Don't have much substance at all. One has an anecdote of the form "the same website has another article with a hyperbolic title!" (This is a classic sort of "disagreement implies deceit" argument as is always brought up when scientists disagree on things, or consensus changes.) The other has a claim of "what [the media] says and does is different" in a way that suggests this is distinctive/meaningfully different in that way than in terms of any other human's behavior without any supporting substance, you're just supposed to accept it on faith that "the media" are intentionally manipulative hypocrites. Even if this is correct, it's not actually a substantial argument as presented, it will only possibly work on the already-converted.
This worked!
And when your in the middle, both sides attack

If you think liberals don't make death threats or engage in violence, or that conservatives don't cancel speech, your sources need updating.
Repod (https://repod.io) | Full Stack Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-Time/Part-Time

Hey I’m Travis, CEO of Repod, an all-in-one podcast app/community platform that helps podcasters to turn their listeners into a community. Repod is like Substack/Patreon, but for podcasts.

We're a young company that recently raised a pre-seed round. We are looking for a full stack engineer that will take on a CTO/cofounder type of role. The ideal person is someone who’s familiar with building, iterating, and launching things of their own. Repod started as a mobile iOS/Android app but your role will primarily be working on a web version of Repod.

Tech stack:

Web: Next.js + Redux

iOS/Android podcast app : React Native, Firebase, Swift/Java (we have a native audio player)

Apply by getting in touch with me:

Email: travis [@] repod.io

There are already libraries that make it easier to do vectorization, which are equivalent to compilers that take generic instructions and convert them into SIMD equivalents (though it's somewhat more nuanced than this). The issue is not so much the compilers, but rather having a standard language for describing how to do the maths on vectors.

It's a lot like the difference between writing C or assembly. Even today, sometimes you need asm to make the code go real quick because what the compiler spits out isn't always optimal (but for the general case, it's quite good).
There's an influx of right-wing people who are trying to rebrand "free speech" as being able to say reprehensible things with zero _social_ consequences. So you're unfortunately trying to reason with the wrong person. Their belief is that all speech in all forms should be free from any consequences, social, legal, or otherwise.

The best thing about using standard controls for things in that as things get better. You get it for free. The zoom bug gets fixed.

I have a bunch of legacy custom controls I deal with regularly because things like color pickers were not cool enough in 2009. The down side is that in 2022 they regularly break and require dev time to fix so some report that gets run once a year works correctly.
Darkhive | San Antonio, TX or Remote US | REMOTE | Darkhive.com

Public safety and military robotics systems are unintegrated with existing equipment and applications. They require too much specialized training on, making them incredibly niche and significantly inhibiting broad adoption.

Darkhive is creating an autonomy software stack that will enable military and public safety users to intuitively interact with robotics platforms in order to more rapidly understand their common environment and make decisions together when it matters most. In addition to our core software suite, Darkhive is creating a palm-sized, autonomous drone optimized to demonstrate the capabilities of our software stack. The integrated software and hardware solution are key to realizing the full potential of the product in our target markets.

We are super early and looking for engineers with experience shipping solutions in:

- Machine / Computer Vision

- SLAM

- Robotic Perception and Navigation

- Autonomous Flight

- Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems

- Reinforcement Learning

- Deep Learning Audio Research

Our stack is still forming but we leverage ROS2, PyTorch, Tensorflow, and Qualcomm-based hardware. Our team is composed of engineers and special operations veterans out of the TAK.gov community and we are committed to building open platforms for defense and public safety. As for culture, rolling out of burnout we aim for sustainability. Get work done and disconnect-live your life and spend time with family/friends.

Compensation would include salary (120-200k) and equity as an early hire.

San Antonio or Remote! Positive if able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance, but not a requirement.

The joke is that both sides of the political divide make no difference in their actions.
The only difference is that some things are slowed down, but in the end they are implemented.

I also have been using since beta, and agree with you. For me, the ability to boost and block certain domains is a killer feature. (There are probably solutions for other services, but to have it built-in is great.)

For developer-related queries I`m pleased with the results!
Are dogs also naturally born geniuses and its our lack of pup-rearing and educational systems that traumatizes them into dullards before they get a chance to grow into their full potential?
I have it working on an RX 6800, used the scripts from this repo[0] to build a docker image that has ROCm drivers and PyTorch installed.

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as the host OS, didn't have to touch anything beyond the basic Docker install. Next step is build a new Dockerfile that adds in the Stable Diffusion WebUI.[1]

I just wrote a post[1] about using the user+alias@example.com instead of user@example.com. Basically treat your "regular" email address as a spam target, and use user+alias for all wanted communications. The +alias can be a random string, making it harder for spammers to guess.

This works in gmail for both sending and receiving, although sending as you+alias@gmail.com requires messing around in the settings[2] and having to remember to select a non-default From: address in your outgoing mail.

> I am going to a dance event regularly but so far nothing there and even then, I can't talk while I dance as I need to concentrate on getting the moves right

I usually don't talk while dancing with someone too, but social partnered dancing is how I met my wife. You don't have to be super social, but hopefully you naturally form some friends out dancing you can talk with while you're sitting out a dance. Just the act of being friendly and social with others puts you in the right situation; women usually prefer someone like that to someone sitting by themselves silently.

No, here's his line:

That's before fists and guns, at an earlier stage. It's before the nazis invaded Poland, not after.

Apparently he knew that after, can be too late
Kansas is a fine state. A little behind the times when I was there in 2004, but I'm sure it's caught up by now.
Okay, then what say you about Sol Lewitt?

(FWIW I have no dog in this fight, just think these are some interesting questions around the very fuzzy border of art/not-art. I don't expect to resolve the issue here! I'm genuinely just curious about your opinion.)
Wait what? I have seen multiple stories of the police showing up to people's house and fining them for tweets in the UK?

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-60260292

Also it is my understanding that it is much easier to sue someone for libel in the UK. I would think that the UK score should actually be lower.
That's not quite the question I think to ask.

What might be more useful to ask is 'in my area/social strata/available employer options, would they hesitate to hire me if my nude photos at a nude beach show up when someone does a typical google search for my name.'.

Replace nude beach with 'revenge porn', 'embarrassing rant at taco bell', or whatever.

Relating to the nude beach thread, don't forget that can happen due to things outside of their control (rando comment on a picture someone else took, creeper writing some 'ship fiction, god knows what).

There is a ton of noise out there of course, so odds are even something really embarrassing won't be found unless it makes the social media spotlight of the day, but most sane folks are going to think twice before doing something because of it. Which is enough for a chilling effect.

A great many employers (including ones that many people here consider interesting work and good pay) would hesitate to hire someone with that kind of baggage for public facing jobs. Some of them even for internal jobs.

Tech tends to be pretty unusual here, in that there isn't a lot of public facing jobs period, and they tend to be so in demand (recently) that employers can't be very picky. If you're high profile though, it can still be a problem, because they'd need to ask 'am I ok having this person represent me publicly, when x thing shows up in a Google search'. You might see that in leadership positions, for instance.

A findable Twitter post that seems believable enough from someone claiming you sexually harassed them, for instance, could be enough to round-file you for a leadership position at a FAANG.

Most of the population doesn't have a lot of good job prospects accessible to them - they might have only 1-2 decent employers for their type of work in their area, and have a house and kids - and in some geographic regions, such things that are considered boring in Tech can not only make you homeless/unable to support your family, but get you outright murdered or thrown in jail for life.
Similarly, it's terrible that the default thing on TV at airports and gyms is cable news. It's especially absurd at the gym - going to be healthy and feel some nice endorphins, and then you're subjected to the worst things happening in the world. Comical, really.
The GP probably meant mobile OS-es, not desktop ones. It would be impossible to make GPU driver or Little Snitch-like app for either iOS or Android, if you are not the OS vendor.
Because manufacturers of actual products are in the USB forum and actively lobby for this shitty naming convention, so their sales of USB4 products don't drop.

Same reason, same companies, same lobbying, which gave us USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.1 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1×2, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (yes they all exist).

Right, 104 symbols would be the minimum if you do need to read/write cursive.

However, I don't agree with your point about typeset text. You're right that the styles differ, but if you have learned one style, and know the language of the text, you will not need any significant amount of time to read a different style of typesetting.

Russian of course normally uses the Cyrillic alphabet, not the Latin one, so obviously you do have to learn a whole new set of symbols to understand it even if you can read Latin symbols. And of course French uses slightly more letters/letter forms than English, with the sedile and four accents (egu, grave, circonflex, and very rare treme).

Surely this is like the raytracing scenario for GPUs.

There are always slightly harder, and better ways of doing something which the accelerators are better at. Audio acceleration I guess peaked too early or they just couldn't get the tech demos as impressive as graphics.

I remember reading about a demo, which I believe was from Matrox. They managed to get an audio 3D environment working over a pair of stereo headphones which was good enough that you could play Doom headless. Just close your eyes and you could tell where people were.

A lot of what I read about here is that prerecorded samples is good enough, in the same way that raster lighting is good enough and raytracing is a waste of time.
Marco Do Descobrimento (Discovery Landmark) – Porto Seguro, Brazil
It’s not about sides, it’s about people getting caught up in echo chambers and refusing to have dialogue with each other as a result. People all over the political spectrum fall victim to this.

It’s been proven repeatedly that social media is crawling with bots and agents with vested interests and are largely responsible for stoking the division we’ve been seeing. Traditional media is the other fork of this, which thrives when there’s an “us vs. them” narrative with heroes and villains and has been unashamedly leaning into that strategy further with each passing year.

Some of the division is organic and has always been there — something I’m all too aware of with family spanning the political spectrum — but social and traditional media have multiplied the effect by hundreds of times.
You’re right, you did. Sorry, I must have missed it.
I'm guessing the query itself will be a very minor percentage of the total cost with just costs coming from crawling, data moving, storage, redundancy and resilience etc.
Especially in Bitcoin circles, the classical economic view of property rights is pretty much a cornerstone of the ideology. Many would argue defending property rights is one of the most legitimate utilizations of Government force. I'm not sure I understand your point, at all.
I disagree,
Portugal does offer something interesting:

Cheap labor.

In fact, some of the cheapest in the EU - both qualified and non.
It even can be said that the current Portuguese Economic Model is intra-EU salary dumping.
