I'm going to try it: Use segment anything to get object masks, Trace each object separately and combine from there!

For a few year stretch I worked with a team project manager who wasn't technical at all. She'd setup the meetings that I needed to have, diligently take notes in those meetings and then we'd get together to recap everything figure out dates and all that. Then I'd get back to nerding out but with a ordered punch list that I knew Donna needed me to get done. It was the best.

But the pmo wanted to do things a different way so their engagement model moved from embedded PMs focused on team deliverables to individual project focus. Now instead of Donna there to assist with correspondence, keep records, make appointments, and carry out similar tasks I had an army of fragmented Donnas each focused on their one thing and each needing oversight to understand my involvement and external dependencies. The move probably gave the pmo a more modern feel and better reporting but it killed productivity for ADDs like me since a large portion of my time each day became correspondence, keeping records and making appointments instead of cranking out nerd units.

"tech" is just the most recent place this has happened but you can see it repeated through out the last century+ of industrialized corporations.

There are people, like this author, the journalists that interviewed her and the venues who booked her, that believe the open public discussion of ideas is of value to society.

What the author experienced was that discourse featuring opposing positions of ideologically popular topics seem to be subject to silencing/censorship.

By spiking articles, canceling forums and shelving interviews this author believes that something of value is being taken away from society.

Leaders have a vision for and commitment to their employees’ personal success, whether that be at Amazon or elsewhere.

I didn't expect them to lean in on the elsewhere.

It seems more likely that the expectation that users must have consistent connectivity to load (and keep loaded) the most fundamental aspects of a website (images and text) is a poor assumption and the hubris to leave this type of assumption unchecked the actual root problem.

I too had a dismal showing, but it didn't go religious on me.

A friend of my wife's husband is a boot camp grad, he can whip out a buzzword compliant web app, but is missing some foundational understanding of what's really happening under the covers. When his aws account started racking up charges like crazy, helping the poor guy debug what he'd built meant working back from his project based understanding of what he'd built meant filling in a lot of blanks for him so he could connect the dots.

I also remember wanting to know what a 'panzer dragoon' was but a lot of the commercials made it seem like you should already be aware and they may have just misspelled dragon.

Virtua fighter was a fine game in the arcade but none of my friends were going to buy a saturn for one game they could play at the arcade or some weird flying sonic game.

When playstation came out, battle arena toshinden felt fast and the characters looked cooler. Ridge Racer felt Way faster than Daytona the music was great and the textures blew my mind.

So even though saturn had a earlier launch the Playstation came to the party with more to offer.

It wasn't until we actively intervened and started teaching phonics at home with our middle son and moving our daughter to a private school that taught phonics as a core function of their reading curriculum did they start to actually read.

I haven't listened to the podcast so I can't speak to it's content but I'm interested to hear if what their talking about matches my experience.

These social media companies aren't Public services, nor have they been deemed critical enough to be required to provide the same facilities as traditionally regulated communication channels.

From that day on any time someone built a new computer someone in my cohort would ask if the new machine came with a 5 1/4 in. F*ckdrive.

We live in the future.

My cousin has had it twice as an adult, the second time left her at about 60%, which has been pretty hard on her.

The fact that people judge appearances first, because it is unpreventable and incurable I'd give it 1 out of 10 stars.

How is that any less "problematic" than inverting the above to say that ' men are uncaring or mean'?

Casting all men as uncaring can't possibly be viewed as a good thing.

I guess what I'm saying is, you're going to be OK, the bits still need to flow, servers will still need to scale and software won't write itself.
