Curious about 2. I don't have these and I've never been in a car accident. Presumably the onboard sensors would tell the autonomous car what to avoid?

My startup offers better benefits than any of those, and better salary, with the caveat that we're pre IPO/exit/whatever so you can't turn around and sell the vested stock immediately like you can at those companies.

Point is: not all startups have non comparable benefits.

Their ability to win business is based on their expertise at writing responses to RFPs in a successful way, not in their ability to deliver. Also, they do have a few successful projects, to some standard of success, which they point to in the RFP responses as a "successful" track record. Often the ability to point to an almost perfectly analogous project and writing the responses in the "correct" way is all it takes.

Arguably the larger problem is that you (general "you" as in people like you) think this could even be a thing, like you've just completely bought into your biases and didn't do any sort of research on the topic. Your original assertion that robbery under $1000 (or any robbery, really) becoming defacto uncriminalized is so beyond the pale I'm not sure how _anyone_ wouldn't just automatically think they were being mislead or trolled, but somehow your biases or whatever on the subject caused you to not only unquestionably accept such a wild claim, but to repeat it to others.

imagemagick is close for me, but I do use ffmpeg and magick often, but as others have said feel as though I have to relearn each as soon as I have do something nonbasic.

Largely NFTs are an astroturfing job similar to crypto coins and things of that nature. Look at HN and search for NFTs. You'll see that there are a handful of articles years ago, but the vast, vast majority of articles/stories posted on NFTs in the last two weeks. Same on clubhouse, nothing that I recall on NFTs for a year, now at any given time there's a plethora of rooms with scare tactics titles like "Get in on NFTs now or the future will leave you behind" or "Become a millionaire with NFTs."

Not saying there's not some use for them, but this pattern is a huge red flag that there's a pump and dump style thing going on behind the scenes. ICOs and other cryptocurrency shared and share the same pattern.

Correct. I've been a member for going on a year now and I have scores of invites I don't appear to be able to send because I won't share my contacts. Not that I care enough to invite people, but it's a dark pattern to even require it.

I have heard there's a way to share invites without sharing contacts, but I haven't cared enough to even do a cursory search on that.

One can care about fundraising for their startup and care about raising untainted money without it being one's primary concern. Then you move the goalposts a little more and essentially say that you shouldn't be concerned with funding sources at all. The latter point especially seems amoral.

It's all a bit of a straw man. I'm curious what motivations are backing your reasons for advocating for this position?

These comments are fascinating and suddenly make me realize how important Thomas Galludet was for the deaf and hence the name of his eponymous university.

You're conflating "settle for less" with "knows more broad trivia."

Well, the OP is about a dark pattern...

And a common definition of thriving is growing in profitability, for which stock price can often be a good metric. Their stock price gas increased 289% over the last five years.

Presumably not, if they use dark patterns and not only survive, but thrive. Right?

That's not clear at all, if it was a joke. It definitely doesn't come across as a joke, but perhaps just someone who isn't up to date on gpu memory, which is a fairly niche subject.

1 decent GPU is usually fine for reasonable things. But the memory is way off: the gpus I use have 40GB of memory (a cluster of the higher end Nvidia A100s) and they're basically state of the art. Most gpus near sota are in the 16GB range and up.

It was a little more like that before, say, summer 2020. Lots and lots of people have been onboarding in the last couple months, I assume because of the VC money and pressure to expand. At this time, it's less like you describe and more like "influencers" cannibalizing each other with constant rooms with a thousand or two people listening on "the success mindset" or "how to build a brand identity." I don't really log in anymore.

He delivered on very few, if any, objectively. Pulling out of the TPP is the only one that comes to mind.

I like them for the most part. Almost always more readable to out things in the brackets rather than the .format at the end, and always better than the %. Occasionally I still use .format with really long strings though for readability.

Totally fair. It is a very, very hard field to make progress in. I would also take anything I say with a grain of salt, I'm not trying to convince you, just to bring an additional data point to the thought that these techniques aren't very useful or impactful.

edit: I posted that I have internal data, but also realized I said a little bit too much about the process. The below point someone is making is a totally fair one. Editing this though for Reasons while trying to keep the part of the comment that led to the below dismissal, and also to clarify my definition of "internal data" to be more expansive than "internal testing on datasets" which is what I realize it might sound like.

My company has used ML to create synthetic cancer data to train classifiers to augment doctors/specialists who are looking for cancer. This work has greatly increased accuracy in diagnosis, saving lives. To say it's only for music generation or generating waifus is a bit unfair.

Haha, I was thinking this as well. But to their credit, they're doctors so presumably knew the patient wouldn't have an issue if the defib deactivated in that moment, and they were there in case anything bad happened. An implantable defib, for anyone who doesn't know, is more like a safety device in that it monitors and responds to events versus something like a pacemaker which needs to be on an responding at all times.

It's not a problem with grammar when the "incorrect" grammar changes the whole meaning of something. No one would be jumping on the comment if it had said, "meth is a amphetamine," which has the same meaning despite the incorrect grammar. Removing the "an" completely changes the meaning.

This should be clear?

Strategically I would say don't bother, personally. Just change the name.

I am mad at all of them for their labor practices. Even if I wasn't, one company doing something nefarious isn't vindicated because others are doing same.

Apple banned Fortnite.

If I make an algorithm to rank sites, and you figure out the internals of that algo and manipulate your behavior to rank at the top, that's bad and not the same as being Google's choice, at least not directly.

Using tricks at the detriment of the user to the benefit of the service is blackhat. Pinterest is doing these tricks to their benefit at the extreme detriment to everyone but themselves.

I've heard of c band sar, and x band sar. Is x band higher resolution? I understand it has properties where x sees through fewer things, but is x fundamentally better resolution or something? If not wouldn't higher wavelength be better for seeing through and resolving objects?

This is a go question but I thought go funcs took less than a thread. This assigns one go func per cpu. Can it be faster with more go funcs per cpu?

I was fully supportive of your first paragraph, but then comparing them to an autocratic government is too much, as is saying there are only three companies (Walmart, Amazon, mcdonald's) is just nonsensical. I get you're frustrated, but these comparisons don't help advance your argument.
