This is the site that got me into designing flash. I was so entertained and thought every website should have an intro like that. Build one for our website, not anywhere as close to professional, and realized how annoying it was to wait for that animation every time I loaded the site.
Well, it's an important concept to know when something is an ad or not and to, even in general, know or be able to reason about the motivations of the writer of an article. I think that's why it's important. This is especially relevant when it's a submarine ad, as the person to whom you're replying mentioned.
Someone made the comment below, which can't be responded to, but I did have a question about it. The comment:
> Immutable infrastructure killed Ansible.
I haven't used Ansible in several years, but when I was using it I was using it to build immutable AMIs. So obviously this comment is off base. However, I have been using terraform for years now.
Can anyone describe why one might use Ansible over Terraform? I understand the differences, but I don't think I know people using Ansible as their primary deployment/provisioning solution recently.
Sounds like he stole a bunch of trade secrets and gave them to his new job, and he got the new job because of his ability to do this. This may not be completely accurate, I haven't been following it too closely, but broad strokes.
You must know this behavior is completely different than simply switching jobs?
We have started to hit this in the last two years. Models get deeper, more FLOPS but not practically better metrics except FPS. But for our use cases and on our hardware constraints, 30fps on a model that's a couple years old outperforms even the Yolov99 or whatever is SOTA.
This is cool! Strava has a new feature where they'll plan a route for you: give a mileage range and a starting spot. When you tell Strava to prioritize trails vs paved, you get good results. Interesting very similar to yours, so that's really impressive given they're a large company with a big budget, or perhaps it says more about my location.
It sounds like that's not what the person to whom you're replying is saying. But your general point, shifted slightly, is correct: right wing is racist. I feel like I examine all sides and "lean right" or am moderate, and used to vote for people like Bush and McCain and Romney, but the right wing has become to polluted with racism and outright greed that I voted for Hillary last election and am spending considerable resources fighting the Republican party outright this election.
The theory of quantum entanglement is sound though, and it took a while for a single sophon to arrive before the FTL communication. Layman here, but I thought it was relatively had science/speculative fiction.
You don't buy what exactly? This is just science on how eyes work and some of the interesting things that happen, the author isn't being prescriptive about what eyes are for or how they should be used. I think what you said is entirely consistent with the Twitter thread.
I think it's a fun literary style sometimes. Useful information doesn't have to be presented in some specific way to be useful, and in this case I think it's additive.
I agree that it can be overdone, but it's pretty lightly sprinkled here. But it's the same as any other useful literary device, to answer your question. To make things more interesting or different.
I started reading and immediately thought of Blindsight. The tweet thread mentions it later, make sure to check it out if you like hard sci-fi, it's one of the best.
Putting aside the question of whether it would ever be a choice between spending $10M on a training run and hiring a team for $10M, GPT transformers were the end result of decades of language research and innovations. You’re making it sound as though you can build the next iteration past GPT-3 for $10M, which I don’t think is the case.
Ah, yeah, sure thing. I guess I was just questioning your reply consisting solely of a comment on what courts of law do when you're asking for an ethical argument.
"In the United States, a right to privacy has not ever been used by courts to restrict photography of people in public places. Not even once."
Design layman here, switching between the two sites the top bar looks similar (it's just a solid line) except a different color and slightly different height. I don't see other similarities or assets coming from your site? Can you explain this request; I'm not sure two sites both using a blank horizontal rule across the top is something I would personally call out as similar.
To put a finer point on it: it may be easier for doctors to find your hard drive and decrypt it in some cases that than to go through and extract them from another medical provider's EHR system. I say this only partly tongue-in-cheek.
It seems pretty common sense that the main things people want to convey in medical emergencies where they're unconscious or their identity is unknown are allergies and reactions, hence why we have medical allergy bracelets and similar things.
If it's life and death and I'm unconscious, it's unlikely they would be able to access my medical records regardless, given the state of healthcare data interoperability (I have a lot of experience in this area). If I am conscious, I can tell them where to get my records, whether they're in Random Hospital X's database, or my personal DB.
I tend to agree that in the average case there's no real downside to doctors not having my medical history.
I went through it, really enjoyed it. But I had experience in the same subject matter before taking it. If you have some ML experience, I would recommend diving straight in for a good breadth-first look at deep learning topics. If you don't have any ML experience or don't really know the concepts, I would recommend taking their other course first (Intro to AI, or AI for Everyone, or w/e -- which I skimmed to see if it was something I should recommend to others, and I liked it).
Largely a company can choose their customers; they’re not forced to transact with anyone. There are some exceptions of course, largely based on the reasons for not transacting. Being publicly traded doesn’t really matter here directly.
Anecdotally, and interestingly, I've only ever seen the phrase "virtue signal" from the alt-right/white supremacist/Trump supporter group. I think I understand what it's trying to convey, but it seems to be used anytime someone sides with something with which that group disagrees. It's like a "dog whistle" for white supremacists and personally when I see it used, it makes me question everything else that person said.
Kudos to them; this is great. I think both the resignation but also announcing so directly are brave (they have career ops and compensation to think about). Announcing publicly helps build a groundswell among tech workers not only at Facebook but other tech companies.
Plenty of companies hiring, I know my company is specifically looking for good people that are leaving because of layoffs and principled reasons.
This is cool. I was less interested in the ratio and more interested in the median pay at places. Some places I’ve never heard of have a significantly higher median pay than my company! And I’m pretty surprised at how high median pay is at FAANG
