Potential partners are one thing. Replacing mothers, sisters, and female family members tends to be more difficult to manage.

I think you are correct that it's not completely unique to programming, but it seems understandable why some might feel otherwise. With the modern world looking to apply code based solutions everywhere imaginable, developers will tend

Unemployment is easily made up for by a combination of "bad boy" personality traits and sufficiently wealthy parents.

All pedantry aside, even if I'm skeptical and concerned at the moment, your hypothesis could well end up being true in the mid to long term.

> Around half of developers write below average code, by definition. By definition, half the code out there is of below median quality. Whether or not half the code out there is of quality below the arithmetic mean depends on assumptions

Glad to hear it's working out! Hope it continues to prove to be an exception to the rule, then.

It's almost like there's no silver bullet, and neither management nor engineering are capable of sticking to one set of trade-offs. Instead, the product thrashes back and forth while trying to accommodate whatever the current feat

In college, I had two particular roommates who both had exemplary academic records in STEM / CS fields on paper, yet embodied two different extremes. I think of them often while pondering my own tortured academic path. The first was am

by sdiupIGPWEfh 3y ago
Could be argued, sure. If you have to already have access to the copyrighted images to find them in the model, the argument seems weak. A sufficiently advanced model could, in theory, generate any image. You could then, again in theory, fin

My own experience tells me otherwise. Passionate workers get taken advantage of. Difficult coworkers still get promoted. And promotions can have far more to do with office politics than any form of merit. If your own experience is an honest

The nature of the universe is to tend toward heat death. Meanwhile, here and now, the nature of information is to either reproduce (to be free) _or else_ dissolve into entropy.

I've said before that it gets tiring playing word games to avoid the suggestion that certain natural pressures have personal agency. Information wants to be free like a rock wants to roll downhill.

Kids are born highly variable and the English language is wildly inconsistent, even more so in written form. I'm not advocating some "learning styles" nonsense, but I don't see why certain subjects can't or shouldn&

Really depends on the details. If the extractable works align with songs that are over-represent in the training data, they may largely consist of performances of public domain compositions. And if their extraction also requires prompting w

Graduated into a recession myself. If you can't get hired right away, the situation only compounds, so buckle up. No one's advice helped. Was eventually told by several internal recruiters at job fairs that companies were loath to

I find this notion hard to reconcile with the occasional phenomenon of recalling the contents of an earlier dream only after several hours of having been awake.

Nope, nope, nope. Light switches never work properly in my own dreams either, but I find that testing the lights or just even noticing they aren't working is a guaranteed one-way trip to night terror land, even in adulthood. Not even r

Seriously, anyone with an interest in AR/VR and even a passing tolerance for anime ought to give Dennou Coil a chance. For those curious, it's better than just safe for work, it's a family friendly series that you could watch

With both series written and directed by Mitsuo Iso, who also contributed to storyboards, key animation, and digital effects. Iso had a remarkable career and notable animation style even well before Dennou Coil. It's only unfortunate t

Still need some cheap camera sensor so that you have data to upload to Facebook and the FBI, though. Otherwise, I've hypothesized the same.

Having enough time to read a couple pages and move a bookmark forward during bowel movements sounds to me like a sign of constipation and a risk factor for hemorrhoids. Would not recommend. It's really best for those bathroom breaks to

I read it as less conspiracy and more an example of, "The purpose of a system is what it does." Sure, it's a nasty, cynical take, but to some approximation, perhaps it may as well be true.

Seems like we've been able to grow human teeth in mice and other lab animals for over a decade. How far away can we be from trials in actual humans? I'd sign up without hesitation, even if there were substantial risks.

The former makes me irrationally angry. Once you have fillings, it's apparently rather easy for more cavities to form right alongside them. As a teen, I had a dentist who drilled out every speck in a majority of my adult teeth. Since t

In some areas. Salaries are still pretty middle class here on the east coast of the US, I have to say.
