What is the point of your comment? Are you here to say, “just so you know, Chesa and his policies are actually good, it’s the cops that are bad”?

Rich people? Lol. At least people are transparently saying their hateful nonsense these days. Yes, it’s people with large incomes that are making people take fentanyl, shit on the streets and stab people to death. If only rent was 50% chea

English is my first (and only) language and I’ve never heard of this. I would say that it not only doesn’t sound weird, but is totally normal. Who told you this isn’t correct?

I’m confused—you’re claiming the above are radical leftist policies? They seem like (mostly bad) moderate left policies to me. Here are things I think are radical, and my gauge for that is asking if it could reasonably appear on a BLM dema

Really? So there isn’t open and pervasive drug use? All these videos of herds of people robbing stores, and homeless people straight up saying they can use/sell drugs and commit petty theft without consequence are just lying?

They are one and the same. Chesa Boudine was largely responsible, and ran on the platform, of essentially not enforcing laws on drugs and theft. His parents spent decades in prison for murder as a result of their radical leftists activism w

Are you being serious? SF is as much, or more, known for radical left wing politics than it is tech. They basically give homeless people free money, make it legally hard to clear camps, and don’t enforce laws of open, hard drug use and pet

One question that’s always top of mind when I hear about the insanity of SF: why on Earth are people with radical, proven ineffective policies voted in time and time again? Whenever I hear from tech people, they think it’s crazy. So if tec

I don’t think that’s quite right. Lower classes also have debt, and inflation effectively reduces your debt. In that case, it’s a direct transfer of wealth from lenders to debtors.

Anyone that has paid any attention to ChatGPT, or LLMs in general, knows that this is absolutely par for the course. There’s no reliability that you get correct answers with current training methods. They are optimized to create plausible (

Yes, you’re right and I’ve been obscene and annoying. I’m sorry. I have kids and know many parents. I think it’s odd to use these ancillary reasons as motivations for having kids because the change to your life is so huge and profound (and

What “data driven” normally looks like: business people ask questions that are not answerable, but the DS team often goes off and tries to answer them anyway. I’ve been in so many meetings, in multiple organizations, where a senior leader a

I don’t recommend the kids one. You might get to talk to some people, but only about kids, and only in 10 second intervals before being interrupted by said kids. Also, when you go back home, you still have to take care of them.

How? Stable Diffusion v1 uses, for example, the off the shelf CLIP model. The hard part is getting the dataset and something that’s functional, and then the community takes over and optimizes like hell to make it way smaller and faster at

You could have written this exact same post, and been wrong, about text2img until Stable Diffusion came along.

No, that’s not the argument. I’m calling out your false comparison that positions it as if modern tech workers are in some sort of proletarian struggle against their oppressors. I’m sorry if being in one of the most lucrative and cushy jobs

Barf!!!! To compare a 2023 Google employee to any population that’s had “boot stomping on their faces” is so out of touch with historical reality that it’s disturbing, disgusting and laughable all at the same time. We’re not talking about

He seems like the slimiest CEO imaginable. I have no data to back this up, just his constant woke clamoring, before woke dominated the culture, and the way he looks. My gut just instantly sets off alarm bells.

I recently spoke at a conference, and had some interested audience members approach me after to discuss more. One said he really valued the content and asked if I had published a paper outlining the same. I replied that I had not, but I did

I think the point is that it’s hard to scale this. I’ve worked in the fraud space for awhile and a big problem is sophisticated actors that scale their operation and cause a lot of damage. If you can make it more expensive to scale, you can

There is plenty in this article that is just wrong. 1. GNNs are no more "sequential" than CNNs and are therefore just as parallelizable in this respect (caveat below). A single GNN layer simply aggregates the features of the conn
