I suddenly want to play Ultima Online!

Your coughing might have caused you to not hear that those ml server folks literally wrote the software you are using…

I appreciate your response and in this long form explanation of your view I find i agree (both in theory and in practice) with most of what you wrote.

You’ve worked in ML since 2012 but dont think transformers have had an absolutely insane impact, for example in NLP and machine translation? (I have worked in those fields longer than that and while I dont think AGI or anything like that is coming from transformers and deep neural nets I think you are full of it if you dont admit they have revolutionized a large number of [highly technical] fields).

When google glass came out (2012 or 13) it was absolutely hilarious living in the bay and regularly riding muni (public bus) in the mission. I saw multiple people run into the door/poles/etc and also multiple people get their glasses ripped off their face and stomped on. Bus driver just shrugged, bus patrons applauded. I’m no luddite and all for technology but even more for consent.

*appease me personally with something else that a different country, as well as a federation (that your country isn’t a part of) are in charge of.

It’s ruined euchre for me

I mean, Salesforce is clearly different than Lockheed Martin, even if they do business with all sorts of companies (many of whom I wouldn’t personally want to be in business with).

I’ve specifically found b2b software at least a bit less creepy and invasive - I’ve done applied ML for many many years and prefer enterprise b2b vs consumer tech because of this.

Won’t necessarily go over well on Lemmy but still want to brag a bit. My company got bought by salesforce, life changing for my kids’ kids (let alone me and my wife). Had a meeting this week with Marx Benioff and he said “I dont care about that i want to hear that v_krishna thinks” and then spent 15 minutes on the spot answering his questions.

It’s been working its way through California courts since the 2015 WHO guidelines said processed meats are carcinogenic. Under Prop 65 that should have triggered immediately labeling processed meats as “Known to the State of California to cause cancer” (like we already have on any charred food, parking garages, etc) but because reasons a decade later I think it is still being adjudicated.

I dunno if he turned it down or just blasted people about it but Zach Woods had a great video denouncing this.

Is that the new one? This spring i read the 3 original ones (had never heard of the series A friend turned me on to it) but I’ve been holding off reading the new one to make it last.

Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I’m having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.

I still would say it was the language I’ve most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.

That’s not quite right, the language has defined Int#days and 10 is actually Int(10). 10.days calls the instance method days on an instance of an Int (it has been years since I’ve used ruby so not sure if the stdlib class is actually Int)

IRL Pocahontas was like 11 or 12.

My wife and I are 40 with 3 kids (in another week two of them will be in high school!) and we quote this at least twice a month, usually in bed, usually while pretend stiff-arming the other and saying “whooooooooomphf”

Dang, very sad. I was just in Nosara a few weeks back with my family and definitely noticed some serious rips (no surprise, the conditions that make a break good for surfing also make it dangerous).

Peenie wallie! 🇯🇲

Eat some more pills, pillhead.

(Mardock totally rules)
