Don't take this as a trolling question, but I can't help but wonder if this sentiment towards AI generated art and creativity is similar to how a chef might feel about shrink wrapped frozen food factories. Just like how a frozen m

The hands issue is going to be an awesome story for all of us in 10-20 years. The younger generation just won’t fathom how hard it was to get proper hands. I wonder what a parallel comparable now would be? Something the slightly technical

Slightly off topic. I’ve been looking for an easier way to replace the text in these ai generated images. I found Facebook is working on it with their TextStyleBrush - https://ai.facebook.com/blog/ai-can-now-emulate-tex

the headline might have an inadvertent effect of making readers think of someone like Bezos, rather than themselves. The $80,000 threshold puts many Americans in the global 1%, despite not considering themselves wealthy. I think their comme

Phrased differently for effect. Analytics data can be 9x larger than core data.

It’s an amount that likely covers the first visit. People that have struggled in the past will already know the benefits and the service. People newly disaffected will be reluctant to “just go” so the 300 bucks takes that off the table. If&

I agree 100% My high school had a phlebotomy track after you took anatomy physiology and I was able to get good enough to get my first job at Scott & White here in Texas. I then used those skills to work 30 hours a weekend (Friday - Sun

Does the SEC not still have some domain scope here? Why are different laws needed for a different class of citizen?

I wonder how much light is blocked by this stuff floating around? Seems like there are parallel efforts to make atmospheric dust while this is already up there.

I use this and have pushed it to my project managers as a way of getting some insight to code and more specifically code changes that we are making and need to explain to clients.

This is right. Sure they can hire the new person but they are immediately in breach of the services contract. Sometimes the breach is with it. The non solicitation clauses are not about stifling employee personal growth. They are about prot

I’d love to see a checklist but the other side of the table. When a developer is going to leave and you have two weeks. What’s the checklist for handoff on a granular prioritized level. Do you start from front end and work backwards or from

We have a process where we strip out the text of PDFs and shove in to elastic. The lambda starts by counting the pages and if it’s 250 or less it handles the job. If it’s larger than that we make the lambda kick the job to a temp ec2 instan

It’s not what you asked for exactly but I’ve had good success with this product https://www.topazlabs.com/video-enhance-ai Sometimes it drops the audio channel but it’s not too bad getting it added back in.

I’m really dependent on ably and would like a solid alternative that we can self host but I really love the telemetry that we get in Ably. I wonder if something could be rolled with this and Prometheus.

Enjoy the silence… The silence of your house. The silence of your mind. The sounds of just you and your spouse talking, eating, sleeping. The silence you never hear after you have kids. Parenting is full of noise. From the second they wake

Great points! “You have no job security, even if you think you do” This is a 100% true for consultants as well as agencies. Now matter how “partnery” things feel you are always as good as your last billable hour. When COVID started we got a

Anyone by chance know how many exabytes s3 is? Did some searches but came up with some guesses like https://maisonbisson.com/post/how-big-is-s3/ but they are dated and still just guesses.

How does medical school, law school, and non-CS engineering resolve this? Seems like they would have had to solve the “how do I know what you know you know issue”.

Thanks for the detail. I think I follow the perspective but let me ask a couple of questions to make sure I got it right. (not intended to bait you here but want to know where the nuance lines are) Is paying for food/rent also a tyrann

I think you would agree, when you choose a job you are choosing it based on a few base components. Job duties, pay, culture, location, travel requirements, hours per week etc... If these do not match up with what you want then its your job&

Sorry but where are you getting your definition of tyranny? “cruel and oppressive government or rule.” It kinda comes with the weight that you have no free will to leave and do something entirely different. Is it really cruel to make you ju

Seriously, against your will? This is not an interment camp where you are forced to mine rocks out of the ground. Quit the job if it has requirements that don’t meet yours. Welcome to freedom!

I get your point but I’d hardly say asking people to come to the office for their job 3 days a week is “tyranny of upper management”. If this is your tyranny then I’d say you have had a pretty lax career. Good for you I suppose and let’s h

Isn’t the root of this need to make developers code stuff to prove their skills because we don’t have an accredited body giving people meaningful certification? A dr would not do a quick surgery and a power plant engineer won’t build “just
