took a little while to figure out that somewhere between four and ten appendages with a mouth on the front and a butthole on the back was the best layout.

At first I thought he was a divorcee just trying to get his dog back but now that I know he’s a divorcee spending time with his daughter I like the story even more.

Richard Wolfe recently likened these actions to taking a howitzer and pointing it at your own feet.

Wow that sounds pretty anti-semitic

Even worse is they reply to themselves figured it out and say nothing else.

“This is just bad, no matter how you spin it,” said a veteran Democratic operative. “But everyone knows it’s too late to switch. But the donors will make those decisions, as they always do. Hence why we got Biden” in 2020.

lol.

yea but on the other hand this is clearly from a comedy skit so not sure this is worth the exercise in pedantry.

i dont think it really matters. this is going to be an all out war between media companies and big tech and big tech is much much bigger.

this guy’s sweater makes his arms look like they are an outgrowth of his hips

wow who could have seen that coming

A lot of machine learning work is empirical so it was more a joke at the expense of oversimplifying the situation.

Real science is trying random stuff until you get slightly better performance out of your model and then creating contrived explanations for why you think it worked

btw yann lecun is the head of meta ai so this is just a couple of rich dickheads having a slap fight

i can imagine some kind of LRU cache being reasonably useful for this situation, assuming you have some latency hierarchy. For example if the desktop has an SSD, HDD, and some USB HDDs attached I can imagine you having a smaller cache that keeps more frequently accessed files on the SSD, followed by a bigger one on the internal HDD, and followed again by USB HDDs as the ultimate origin of the data. Or even just have the SSD as cache and everything else is origin. I don’t know if there’s software that would do this kind of thing already though.

You may want to consider zipping files for transfer though, especially if the transfer protocol is creating new tcp connections for every file.

Here we have a couple of people enjoying themselves and dickheads in the background taking pictures of them and posting it on the internet to laugh at.

I have never met a real linkedin Poster before. They must be amazing in person.

Oh sure let’s talk about LGBTQ rights and Women’s rights shall we. Under which president was Roe v. Wade struck down? Under which president have abortion bans in many states popped up with complete inaction from the federal government? Under which president have anti-trans laws popped up with complete inaction from the federal government?

My expectations of Trump is we will have a buffoonish worsening of the current conditions of the world. Under Biden we will have a cynical worsening of current conditions. Am I priveleged? Yes, I live in the imperial core. I live in a blue state. I have a stable job. But don’t think for a second that I can’t see what’s happening around me.

There’s what Biden is actually doing vs what people think Trump will do. You think Trump will worsen the genocide - but what does that mean, materially? Biden is already sending Israel all the weapons they want and giving them all the air cover they need politically. What more could Trump do?
