As a Cal grad, I think this hurts more people from my lower/middle class background than it helps. I see the SAT as a way to even the playing field. Now rich people can just pay for ‘experiences’ to game whatever holistic bullshit the

I think people are purposely under-emphasizing the amount of facial communication still possible with a mask on. Never mind that all these dehumanization scenarios conveniently assume people have somehow lost all ability to utter any sort o

They were trained in the paintings data (hence why I collected it!). That quality is from, I believe, the gan having some difficulty figuring out how to color each pixel. But I’m not sure entirely on that, though in the time since I made th

Not surprising as a result of the activision purchase- they don’t care about playerbase, only revenue.

Agreed. But when someone posts a one-sentence solution to a difficult problem, and frames it in the most condescending manner possible (eg “It’s not hard.”), it’s difficult not to respond with a low-effort (and very real) counterexample. I’

There’s no armchair philosophy here, nor the defeated apathy you seem to be responding to. GP posted a ridiculous, condescending, one-sentence solution to the issue of sustainable eating. I used hyperbole to try and highlight how out of tou

“It’s not that hard.” You hear that, single-mother-of-three? Stop eating unsustainably and just go pay a 20 percent markup for whatever food is available down at the local farmer’s market. It’s not that hard! Just make more money. What abou

The previous responses cover what are probably the most important factors, but I think it’s worth adding that avocados are also touted as ‘super foods’ in multiple trendy diets (eg keto).

Awhile ago I tried to train a GAN to let you generate your own ‘original’ Bob Ross paintings. It requiredsome time creating the dataset and lots of tracing, but in the end only worked decently for winter paintings- I’m guessing because of t

Not talked about enough and professors following this model ought to be shamed for doing so. “But they’re just trying to get paid!” - literally at the expense of their students financial and (by extension) emotional well-being.

Right, that all makes sense, but you can’t join a company just to say, “well only 6 months ago I’d never touched a command-line!”. I know plenty who have succeeded from boot camps and plenty who haven’t. I think the best thing boot camps ca

That was basically just some guy talking about his life. He just happened to be asked to leave the country he was staying in and, with no real reveal as to why he had to leave or what exactly he had to leave behind, I can’t understand why t

Cartels have plenty not too far from LA. But after Epstein dying in jail I’m convinced anything is possible.

I can see that angle as well. I decided to look for more evidence, and found a previous article David wrote about Val for the NYT. [0] After reading it, my take is that the comments were hostile, but I don’t suspect any foul play between t

Tbh I think four year into your adult life is quite a short amount of time to start claiming you’re from there. Maybe it’s cultural, but in America/Mexico or Europe that’d come off very strange and probably be met with eye rolls. I thi

As someone who moved from Seattle to San Diego recently, I am happy to see both areas doing very well with regards to vaccine hesitancy! Having grown up in San Diego, I actually find it somewhat surprising how low the hesitancy is.

Yes. I’m in the school that believes UX people should know how to code, but know plenty at big tech companies who can’t.
