Damn, I always thought the end goal of throwing a party was to get buzzed and have a good time with friends.

My ideal system involves teaching professors who work at a university, and state run research labs ran by PhDs that collaborate closely with universities, but remain distinct. Argentina has a similar system with CONICET and their public uni

For grad students, yes, the money largely comes from grants (more than 50% of my funding in grad school was from grants from my advisor). The university doesn't actually take a chunk of the grant, they get an additional "overhead&

I am so unimpressed with research universities in the US. Most just accept and neglect undergrad students. They use them as a steady income and have very little intention of providing them with a quality education. I happen to be very close

Are you saying that that is no longer fun with LLMs?
96.
by megaloblasto 1y ago
No, I find it strange that people like to input text into an editor so much that LLMs make them sad.

That's fair. I was actually a professional carpenter for a bit too, and you're right, I love touching the wood, sanding it, admiring it, etc. etc. More so then I've ever liked inputting code into an editor. I do, however, use

I've always found it a bit strange that people enjoy the act of coding so much that LLMs make then sad. For me it's always been about what I can make, not the actual typing of code into the editor. With LLMs I can make better stuf

I'm having trouble understanding your point. You think parties should just be people behind tables with name cards with numbers that you can call later? What does that have to do with the stock market?

by megaloblasto 1y ago
Just go to the party and engage with people. Actually be interested in who that person is, what they think, and how they spend their time. People are fascinating, even the grouchy boring ones. Advice like this article, and the thousands of

MC Escher had a big impact on me growing up. I remember being a kid and looking at some of those famous lithographs and thinking, "oh jeez wow, ok, that's pretty cool".

That was sick. I watched one will less than 1000 views and it was amazing. How'd you find them?

I find this very interesting. None of those artists were bad by any means. But the sound quality is really bad, and none of then are even close to something like Goat Rodeo [1] which has over a million views precisely because of the excepti

Can you recommend a YouTuber with a hand full of views that you think is a good musician?

I don't really think about azure because I choose not to support Microsoft. Also, as of now I have had very little personal use for running servers, besides things that can easily be hosted almost anywhere. I'm sure it's conv

I'm convinced people only use Microsoft because of licensing contracts and familiarity. It's an awful company with subpar products.

Having lived for a long time on each coast, this is not my experience at all. Each region has a rich accent.

You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself – it is too sad a way to be.

If you read the actual paper, and it's very easy to skim through, the authors offer a lot of reasons to doubt the results, from strong bias in the data to repeated samples across studies. That being said, it is nice to start getting so

I'm sure writing drivers for a few pieces of odd equipment is much cheaper then shelling out money to Microsoft for a license. Switching to linux seems like such an obvious move to me.

I'm also very interested in this. I wasn't aware of the extent of the effort of labelers. If someone could point me to an article or something where I could learn more that would be greatly appreciated.

To add to the other reply, nearly 100% of people classified as men at birth do have mammary glands and can lactate if they take certain medication. Some men can lactate without medication.

What? Sex is a spectrum, this is a fact. There are people born with testicles and rudimentary ovaries. There are people born with breasts and long penis-like clitorides. I encourage you to try and not categorize everything into neat little

The point is sex is a spectrum, we don't have to put everyone in little boxes then get upset when things aren't so clearly defined.

do you think that if the Beatles never existed, some other group would have absorbed their fame, like a power vacuum being filled? I've wondered this before. Or maybe they just really were that good.
