Yeah, what’s stopping people from using AI generated synthetic data?

Yeah this article is pretty amazing. Fun what happens when you fuck over all your students :) :) :)

For the first half of the article I was wondering where the grift would be and...lo and behold.

    The paper was published on 14 October 2020 to fanfare. Dias and a co-author, Ashkan Salamat, a physicist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), also announced their new venture: Unearthly Materials, a Rochester-based company established to develop superconductors that operate at ambient temperatures and pressures.

ya know

one of the more concerning parts of reddit or maybe the internet at large(?)? seems to me that most internet-ees are utterly incapable of understanding that other people have different lived experiences than they do.

Where do you think this lands? Think we let commercial real estate eat shit and sink a bunch of regional banks in the process, or another massive bailout incoming?

I'm thinking ultimately RTO ends up at 65% capacity filled in these buildings which is still...

Thanks!! Especially the Barbara Tuchman rec, I think I’ll start with that one. Been reading a bunch of wiki pages about Vietnam, Laos, both civil wars, the Hmong, etc. and want to keep learning!

Have you been to the Wing Luke?

    My only hope is that the SCOTUS nerfs Trump due to insurrection.

In your scenario, what makes you think that Trump gives any credence to any sort of SCOTUS nerfing?

i wonder if there’s any connection between this and the weird dog respiratory illness that’s been going around for a couple-few months.

lol, ive been hearing about this since at least 2015ish as way to “beat” Taleo and other application/recruiting platforms. of course, with it being 2024, “AI” must be added in some way.

pretty tired of being sick and seeing people around me get sick, but that seems to be the cycle since...september? getting a little worried that the rest of life is going to be a period of 3-4 months of health for me and those around me with 1-2 week illnesses breaking those periods up.

pretty sure i'm going to get a coach for a few months for outdoors/athletics performance. happy to spend some money to, at the least, better create my own training plans in the future.

I think you’re making the right choice by going with 40-45L for week ending! Osprey and Gregory make great packs. Don’t know if you’re in a place where you can try them on - would go with whatever fits best, and those companies do make different fitting packs compared to each other.
