I finally tried to make my metaverse avatar a few days ago. I couldn’t even make my glasses blue. BLUE. My Memoji looks just like me, which I recall taking minimal effort. My metaverse avatar just looks like a weird pretentious dude with a

My job also calls this a manager. I’m the technical team lead and my boss (our manager) manages 3 separate teams consisting of a QA, 3-4 devs, and a then we have a PO (who is part of a separate management structure and reports to a differen

Fun fact, might be off on the details, but Triscuits were called that because they were marketed as being cooked by “elecTric” ovens which meant uniform heating and no burned Triscuits! Electric Biscuits! Try Triscuits! Edit: since people l

And even big sites built by well paid engineers that should know better (I’m looking at you Microsoft Azure!) have these issues! Sometimes middle click works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes right click open in new tab works. It’s so damned

I’ve been noticing my workflow in Automatic1111 basically always ends up taking an hour. I like to compare it to going to a weird shoreline filled with strange objects, picking out the “shells” I like the most, then taking them home, cleani

I’ve been making a lot of stuff for my D&D buddies using Stable Diffusion. With hands, I basically brute force it. Using an A100 40GB on Colab I can generate ~28 or so (depending on the size of the prompt, Automatic1111 allows for promp

It’s been fun playing with an online DM that has been stretching and upping his game. When he pulled out Dungeon Alchemist especially we were super impressed. I’ve stopped playing video games for the most part as the impact and sense of won

I think you’d need 2x A100 GPUs, which is $4.18 an hour on Runpod. If I was super bored I’d probably be willing to drop $50 for 10 hours to mess around with it. https://www.runpod.io/gpu-instance/pricing

My next door neighbor (who has since moved away, but I see his kids around the neighborhood still) is a very successful salesman and takes 120mg of Adderall “to get out of bed in the morning”. Which I thought was crazy considering I take 1

For the super high provisioned laptops it seems like Applecare is a steal.

I feel like that’s the exact same question as “does Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 still represent Roger Waters voice?” Obviously it does. He’s a 79 year old bloke but that song was recorded when he was 36 or so is still him,

The hundreds of thousands of dollars he paid every single one of them must have been just an awful experience for the people he “drained dry”.

I don’t know but after going on vacation and eating some fresh lobster I think lobster is gross by itself. A nice Lobster Bisque prepared correctly is delicious but otherwise it’s just a giant muddy tasting sea bug. I’d prefer a Dungeness C

It’d be nice if the same were true for all the stupid cookie banners I don’t care about.

So we just pick 60% of the weights arbitrarily, throw them out, and see how it goes?

Yep. It’s expensive to spin up an A100 80GB instance but not THAT expensive. Oracles cloud offering (first thing to show up in google search I know you probably won’t use them and it seems extra expensive) is $4.00 per hour. If you are moti

Dostoyevsky had a fine take of what’ll happen in that future in Notes from Underground, and it’s not likely to go the way utopians will expect.

What would happen if we took a pill and grew a ton of extra neurons in our digestive system? We’ve got about 100 million neurons in our gut, which is comparable to a duck. I feel like it’d probably just be weird.

I think we’ve all heard stories of senseless deaths of people who’ve died of dihydrogen monoxide poisoning. Even more damning of the modern factory farming complex, did you know that dihydrogen monoxide is by far the most commonly used ind

I’m right at the cusp where I was a very strong individual contributor at my previous jobs, and have now been a team lead for about six months now. At first, I felt like I was wasting time spending a good portion of my day in meetings, but

Interesting concept, how close could we get to Sagittarius A* without being melted even if we were in a spaceship that was 100 feet sphere thick sphere of lead? I feel like the distance would be way further than you’d expect.

I’ve thought about this too, if dark matter is affected by gravity but not other forces, wouldn’t that mean if we were able to drill to the center of any substantial gravity well (say the moon rather than the earth), would we be able to det

Exercising has nothing to do with weight loss, although it’s still good for you with obvious benefits. Just losing weight is in my experience purely diet if you’re living any sort of standard American lifestyle where you’re really sedentary

I agree with you, but have a few qualifiers about it. I decided I want to lose weight for the third time in my life. A few weeks I was probably eating 5,000 calories a day. I’ve lost 15 pounds in three weeks. Basically before every day I’d

Not to be confused with Polygon the gaming website. I was amazed for a second that a gaming website Polygon had 500 employees. The fact that an Ethereum startup has 500 employees also seems ridiculous, but I also missed the boat on Bitcoin
