It’s like being mean to customer service people of a bad company. it does effect the bottom line, because of high turnover as a result of a toxic workplace, but it mostly hurts the lowest paid people. Unfortunately, it’s one of few available levers when MAD is a factor.
Oh but it’s so much more fun on a canoe trip, on rivers. Everyone trying to tip each other’s boats (except the food boat). Sit-on kayaks tip the easiest but recover quick
Trick is to go southern with it. Merge the last two vowel sounds into almost-one. Dub-ee-eh
Actually, my father in law just lost 3 months of work yesterday because he synced his documents folder that had an old copy of his book on OneDrive. None of the cached files had his new stuff. Maybe if OneDrive was made well, it would prevent data loss.
Yep, lost 3 months of work yesterday because OneDrive erased it.
Top tier comment, artfully put.
Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:
The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there’s way too much of the second group. We’re definitely getting what we pay for here.
Dead smile of someone who had too many pictures taken of them as a child. I like to think I preserved my authenticity by being a little monster during pictures as a child.
Dopamine used to be considered the generic pleasure chemical, but I think it’s not anymore. Has more to do with reward pathways and learning, maybe?
Well that’s a fairly consistent pov. “God of the Gaps” is what it’s called. Ostensibly, that sort of person accepts new evidence for things, so it’s probably not one of the worst ways to think
I wonder how well that percentage matches up with the percent of Americans who believe those sites, too. Would an LLM trained on the raw internet have a fairly proportional spectrum of beliefs to the American public?
It’s just weird that we get so much humanlike reasoning from them, anyways. The jury’s still out whether our brains learn in an autoregressive manner like that, too. I’m finding a lot of really cool results in my research by tinkering with the idea that a developing brain might just be constantly trying to guess what’s happening next.
Seems pretty plausible to me that passive learning in humans works similar to next-token prediction in transformers.
These are just people skills. Of course you’re gonna have to make people like you if you want to work with people. Half the brain is dedicated to networking with other brains.
And it’s not actually that hard to agreeably disagree with someone. You say your thing, and then you do your little song and dance to make sure they know you respect them, and you go on your way.
A little bit of humility goes a long way. Hard scientists aren’t above a little compassion, a little bit of care for explaining themselves to the public and to money movers.
I’m gonna compete so hard now
I just wonder how much budget my state has for something like that if they can’t even keep the assessors office open.
Lol yeah I have only a few weeks to gamble so sounds like I’ll be fine
It sorta depends on what you hope to achieve. It wouldn’t be profitable to rely on the licensing in hopes of getting money from news companies or publishers, since you’re unlikely to have unique, viral info.
As far as training material for ai, it’s really not worth it. Legal precedent isn’t established enough. They scrape fully copyrighted books and news sites, and we don’t even know if those lawsuits are going anywhere. Other legal precedent for scraping for use in any data analysis or academic use, or even for commercial data analysis, pretty much allows us to scrape anything that’s public-facing.
I would hardly call that self-employed.
This is like a CIA Pulitzer. Nintendo could not have made a better endorsement of Yuzu’s performance.
Yeah I’m agreeing with you
