Curious about 2. I don't have these and I've never been in a car accident. Presumably the onboard sensors would tell the autonomous car what to avoid?

My startup offers better benefits than any of those, and better salary, with the caveat that we're pre IPO/exit/whatever so you can't turn around and sell the vested stock immediately like you can at those companies. Poi

Their ability to win business is based on their expertise at writing responses to RFPs in a successful way, not in their ability to deliver. Also, they do have a few successful projects, to some standard of success, which they point to in t

Arguably the larger problem is that you (general "you" as in people like you) think this could even be a thing, like you've just completely bought into your biases and didn't do any sort of research on the topic. Your or

imagemagick is close for me, but I do use ffmpeg and magick often, but as others have said feel as though I have to relearn each as soon as I have do something nonbasic.

Largely NFTs are an astroturfing job similar to crypto coins and things of that nature. Look at HN and search for NFTs. You'll see that there are a handful of articles years ago, but the vast, vast majority of articles/stories pos

Correct. I've been a member for going on a year now and I have scores of invites I don't appear to be able to send because I won't share my contacts. Not that I care enough to invite people, but it's a dark pattern to ev

One can care about fundraising for their startup and care about raising untainted money without it being one's primary concern. Then you move the goalposts a little more and essentially say that you shouldn't be concerned with fun

These comments are fascinating and suddenly make me realize how important Thomas Galludet was for the deaf and hence the name of his eponymous university.

You're conflating "settle for less" with "knows more broad trivia."

Well, the OP is about a dark pattern... And a common definition of thriving is growing in profitability, for which stock price can often be a good metric. Their stock price gas increased 289% over the last five years.

Presumably not, if they use dark patterns and not only survive, but thrive. Right?

That's not clear at all, if it was a joke. It definitely doesn't come across as a joke, but perhaps just someone who isn't up to date on gpu memory, which is a fairly niche subject.

1 decent GPU is usually fine for reasonable things. But the memory is way off: the gpus I use have 40GB of memory (a cluster of the higher end Nvidia A100s) and they're basically state of the art. Most gpus near sota are in the 16GB ra

It was a little more like that before, say, summer 2020. Lots and lots of people have been onboarding in the last couple months, I assume because of the VC money and pressure to expand. At this time, it's less like you describe and mor

He delivered on very few, if any, objectively. Pulling out of the TPP is the only one that comes to mind.

I like them for the most part. Almost always more readable to out things in the brackets rather than the .format at the end, and always better than the %. Occasionally I still use .format with really long strings though for readability.

Totally fair. It is a very, very hard field to make progress in. I would also take anything I say with a grain of salt, I'm not trying to convince you, just to bring an additional data point to the thought that these techniques aren&#x

edit: I posted that I have internal data, but also realized I said a little bit too much about the process. The below point someone is making is a totally fair one. Editing this though for Reasons while trying to keep the part of the commen

My company has used ML to create synthetic cancer data to train classifiers to augment doctors/specialists who are looking for cancer. This work has greatly increased accuracy in diagnosis, saving lives. To say it's only for music

Haha, I was thinking this as well. But to their credit, they're doctors so presumably knew the patient wouldn't have an issue if the defib deactivated in that moment, and they were there in case anything bad happened. An implantab

It's not a problem with grammar when the "incorrect" grammar changes the whole meaning of something. No one would be jumping on the comment if it had said, "meth is a amphetamine," which has the same meaning despite

Strategically I would say don't bother, personally. Just change the name.

I am mad at all of them for their labor practices. Even if I wasn't, one company doing something nefarious isn't vindicated because others are doing same.

If I make an algorithm to rank sites, and you figure out the internals of that algo and manipulate your behavior to rank at the top, that's bad and not the same as being Google's choice, at least not directly.

Using tricks at the detriment of the user to the benefit of the service is blackhat. Pinterest is doing these tricks to their benefit at the extreme detriment to everyone but themselves.

I've heard of c band sar, and x band sar. Is x band higher resolution? I understand it has properties where x sees through fewer things, but is x fundamentally better resolution or something? If not wouldn't higher wavelength be b

This is a go question but I thought go funcs took less than a thread. This assigns one go func per cpu. Can it be faster with more go funcs per cpu?

I was fully supportive of your first paragraph, but then comparing them to an autocratic government is too much, as is saying there are only three companies (Walmart, Amazon, mcdonald's) is just nonsensical. I get you're frustrate
