I guess they figure the threat of layoffs will cow anyone who might resist. We will see if that's true.

Also, often in 2001 companies were closing rather than laying off percentages. Or do they count those as layoffs anyway?

Scrum Masters (and equivalents) have gotten lonely and don't feel quite as useful without in person interaction.

My experience is nobody from the massive silent population has ever jumped in to introduce themselves and say they were convinced, and I've never met anyone in real life who says they use forums but don't post just to be convinced

To me it just seems like everybody talking past each other, that this supposed silent majority of people passively observing and waiting to be convinced by the most reasonable argument simply doesn't exist, or barely does. Your mileage

I used to think this, but I am almost certain I was wrong. It really just didn't matter at all what I did or didn't do, and there are already so many people grandstanding to each other all the time that it's just more noise o

If you search Google for paid votes on Product Hunt, there are a ton of companies that offer what you're looking for.

In theory at one point it could have been something more interesting than a forum for people who are paying Elon money. But that ship probably sailed long ago.

I'm not actually going to make the forum so don't have a detailed plan.

In this case I think the fellow should be allowed to speak on the topic he studied. I agree generally in the end you'd have to trust the forum admins to publish some rules and follow them, but that's already the case in any forum.

Past a certain level of overfitting you can definitely recreate them just by asking for them by name. And it's possible to unintentionally or even intentionally overfit. So it would be quite easy to make a trademark laundering operatio

It would be interesting if somehow credible (including heterodox) experts could be tagged so you could differentiate them from people with no or limited knowledge larping as experts. Then, anyone could choose to filter by experts or not, to

Your big mistake as a leader was trusting the people you were leading?
44.
by synu 4y ago
It's good general advice, though every tip of course has many counterexamples. I think the reality is startups are hard and also require luck.

Overfitting seems like a fuzzy area here. I could train a model on one image that could consistently produce an output no human could tell apart from the original. And of course, shades of gray from there. Regarding your edit, what are the

Would be nice if it was easy to automate with a few filter words.

What is a 1080p MP4 video of a film if not simply a highly detailed, irreversible but guaranteed unique checksum of that original content?

The important distinction then is using another program or device to analyze the bits but without copying them, that takes its own new impression? Like using a camera?

How many bytes make it an original work vs a compressed copy?

by synu 4y ago
You can see this with the Mona Lisa. You can get pretty close reproductions back by asking for it (or at least you could in one of the iterations). Likely it overfit due to it being such a ubiquitous image.

It will be interesting to see how they legally define the moment where compression stops being compression and starts being an original work. If I train on one image I can get it right back out. Even two, maybe even a thousand? Not sure wha

I suspect it's different people. There's a kind of bias where it seems like everyone else on a forum is all one person who behaves super inconsistently, I've thought it as well.

You could make the same argument that as long as you are using lossy compression you are unable to infringe on copyright.

Avo is great, we are using it at my company Synura. Awesome job, it just works with very little configuration.

Ok but then they wouldn't have been lost by deleting the Facebook, the person could just get back in touch. But they seem to believe it would be weird (psychotic even?) if they did, which to me points to them not being actual friendshi

> Fair point as this person does want something. They want that friendship back. If a friendship stops existing because you delete a Facebook account, it was never a friendship. Or at least wasn't one by then.

Are tech workers really the basis of the service economy? And even if so, will they remain so if lower wage earners, of which there are quite a lot more, start earning relatively more?

AI grant is another one. It's not actually a grant at all, they take ownership of your company. There's something about AI tech where it seems important to the owners that it comes across as open and philanthropic, even when it is

I think it comes from the houses being made out of wood instead of brick. Or at least it seems likely comparing houses in the Netherlands and US. The way houses burn is just totally different.

Most embassies have been canceling and not scheduling these appointments, since 2019. The wait at a lot of them is still several years. I had to travel to Azerbaijan to get it done in a timely fashion.
