If you are looking for a plugin with good cleans as well as dirty I would say the Nolly plugin is better when compared to the Fortin Nameless, but it was a while ago that I used the trial, however I don’t remember being as in love with it as the Nolly. I had a hard time choosing between it and the Abasi plugin but I felt like Nolly shined more in a wide range of scenarios. Overall I have been very happy with it, 10/10 would recommend especially since they recently added a build in tuner. I have had some issues but I think it’s just my $30 usb interface.

Just tried it out, I don't know if I would say it sounds like a $600 tube amp especially in high gain scenarios (it really didn't like my active pickups), for a free plugin it is definitely great. In comparison to the Archetype Nolly plugin from Neural DSP it doesn't really compare, but but for something thats free and can be trained at home on custom audio samples its pretty cool.

I am about to graduate with my degree in computer engineering so I have a few good resources for you. I was in a similar position, and what really helped me was doing personal projects. Some that I can recommend are:

Ben Eaters videos on creating an 8 bit computer on a breadboard will teach digital logic, computer engineering fundamentals etc.

Building your own operating system, the osdev subreddit and wiki have many great resources to go from someone who knows c to understanding how that relates to the hardware.

Anything robotics related, working with Arduino and other microcontrollers is another big one, as that is part of any electrical and computer engineering degree.

If you need any other resources or have questions feel free to reach out, I am happy to give advice.

Hey, would you be interested in a rising senior applying for a full time job for may? or is that too long term? I am a computer engineering major with a cs minor and a lot of software engineering experience

So, I have probably generated around 20 different texts from your prompt, and as much as I would love to be a believer I am unconvinced. The first person almost musings that you posted are nothing like what I have seen. While GPT is impressive, I don’t see it generating anything like what you posted.

I am definitely on the dragon model, my first few attempts went badly until I managed to correctly get it set. What setting are you using for the randomness by the way?

Just ran the prompt through for myself, and got this https://pastebin.com/2gLVSA5r Interesting, but nothing like the OP. Still not convinced that that one is real unfortunetly, too much taste and creative writing. While GPT-3 has excellent coherency, its sentence structure is always short and simple. Nothing like the original one.

I am currently trying to run it, how do you get it to generate paragraphs? do you just keep clicking story? Also are you using the custom setting?

As much as I would love for this to be real, this feels a bit too “sci-fi” and romance to be real. If it is, I would be happy a shocked, but this feels like it was written by someone trying to pretend to be a computer writing about itself, and discovering of itself. It’s a little too fan fic like to be believable.

Everyday astronaut has some of the best space content on YouTube, which is even more impressive given that he has doesn't have any kind of formal training in it. If you are into space and especially spacex I would highly recommend his channel.

This video has been in the works for many months and knowing his work it is probably one of the most comprehensive works on aerospike engines outside of academia.

"We designed this part to compete with Ice Lake, expecting to make some headway on single threaded performance. We did not expect to be facing re-warmed Skylake instead. This is going to be one of the highlights of our careers"

Looks like AMD expected Intel would actually start to fight back a few years ago when AMD started the Zen and Rome cores, and AMD has been running full steam ahead since then. Meanwhile, in reality, Intel dropped the ball and was too slow to react, and now AMD has basically leapfrogged them. What a time to be alive.

I was in a similar position, we started using Okta and eventually migrated to AWS Cognito. Rolling your own auth is a recipe for disaster unless you know what you are doing and really need to. Also, be prepared to be fairly locked in once you choose an auth provider, especially if you choose one that is fairly integrated into your ecosystem.

I definitely agree with you, this feels like REAL progress. I feel like this is a revolution in our understanding of how life as a collection of cells is able to function with such repeat ability and reliability. What is even more amazing is how this talk isn't even just going over our lack of understanding in this area, its saying hey everyone we just filled in this massive gap in our understanding, and look at what real things we can do with it.

It does feel like this research crosses a big line in science. Especially with the recent articles about how gene editing can cause weird defects that we don't understand, this shows we don't need to tinker at the lower levels when life already has the tools for higher level control.

Recent but great talk posted here, What Bodies Think About: Bioelectric Computation Outside the Nervous System [1] by Prof. Michael Levin. He talks about how long term low energy electrical networks between all cells in living organisms shape how the organism grows. I think what he talks about will be the future of medicine as it allows for an amazing degree of high level control over how animals grow.

Pretty bad look for google not reporting a security incident, especially one related to personal information. Google hasn’t had a good track record recently and this seems to be showing that google has really changed for the worse. If google is willing to cover up a social media breach, what happens when my email data is breached?

I don’t know if I can trust google with my data anymore, or anyone for that matter. As much as my online data is tied to google, it might be time to remove them as painful as it might be. Anyone else done this or have any recommendations about getting away from gmail / chrome? I have used chrome and google/gmail for a long time. I have looked into Firefox previously and the only thing stopping me is the lack of multiple profiles with each having its own window, running at the same time. I usually have one personal profile, one for school and one for work and I would like to keep that setup.
