getting 10:1 ratioed by my own profile picture would probably make me leave civilization and become an ascetic

This role is responsible for the creation of a virtual AI Centre of Excellence that will drive the creation of an Enterprise-wide Autonomous AI platform. The platform will connect to all Ice Cream technology solutions providing an AI capability that can provide [blah blah blah...]

it's satire right? brilliantly placed satire by a disgruntled hiring manager having one last laugh out the door right? no one would seriously write this right?

it's basically yet another form of Pascal's wager (which is a dumb argument)

hold the fucking phone. The secretary of education is the wife of VINCE FUCKING MCMAHON? I thought this was a "no relation" situation but no, it's real.

The ad sounded extremely ... off. The voices had the shitty mic scratchiness that I'd come to expect from a fresh 2010 YouTuber. The scene was abysmally acted, sounding like if someone with zero training was told to "speak with emotion"... wait is it autoplag?

Asahi Lina posts about not feeling safe anymore. Orange site immediately kills discussion around post.

For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you.

The grad student survives [torturing rats] by compartmentalizing, focusing their thoughts on the scientific benefits of the research, and leaning on their support network. I’m doing the same thing, and so far it’s going fine.

guys I need someone to talk to, am I justified in causing my computer pain?

their browser vanadium seems like a good chromium fork and a fine webview implementation but lacks an effective ad blocker, which makes it unsafe to use if your threat model includes, you know, the fucking obvious. the graphene devs will shame you for using anything but it or brave though, and officially recommend using either a VPN with ad blocking or a service like NextDNS since they don’t seem to acknowledge that network-level blocking isn’t sufficient

No firefox with ublock origin? Seems like that would be the obvious choice here (or maybe not due to Mozilla's recent antics)

Machine translation was the original purpose of the transformer architecture, and I guess it was unreasonably good at it compared to the existing state-of-the-art RNNs or whatever they were doing before.

holy fuck

Interesting study, but I am skeptical that this result applies to the general population (without the "convicted" qualifier).

If non-whites are more violently criminal than whites, then we can expect them to be imprisoned earlier in life for any violent crime, of which pedophilia will be a small subset.

So we have more convicted white paedos because ....... the coloreds do more crimes??! what in the actual fuck did I just read?

beautiful

were you not paying attention or have you already forgotten that Honey is scamming the very content creators who shilled it (and others) by hijacking their affiliate links via cookie stuffing? By using Honey you're actively fucking over people who get income from affiliate marketing.

The brilliant minds at the orange site have discovered what's stifling research: Academics don't know how to use JSON! Surely, forcing every graduate student to go through a webdev bootcamp is the solution.

ah good point. He reads "mature and excellent at communication" as a self-description. After that, there's absolutely no way he can resist writing himself into both characters.

Impressive how someone can be so bad at writing after writing so, so much.

"Somebody must be doing something." - everyone lol. The US is cooked, maybe not immediately but say goodbye to hegemony, goodbye to whatever shred of upward mobility remained, and goodbye to the possibility of retirement.

the funny thing about this quote is that you can post it under anything mildly outrageous and tons of people will go "mhmmm yes that's me the critical thinker" regardless of their actual mental faculties.

can you imagine being a Democrat congressperson who actually wants to do something useful for people and having to listen to this? I'd probably just resign.

hey hey hey, at least the US is genociding brown people by proxy. You gotta give us that at least.

yeah but this isn't about judicial review
