I know you asked for CSV but it wasn’t showing up right so I saved it as PDF. Can I send that to you?

No no. I’ve been embarrassed and ashamed of plenty of them, but this one is especially malevolent.

I was just explaining to some of my overseas friends how embarrassed and ashamed I was of the current administration, domestically and abroad.

Less than 24 hours later, this fucking disgrace.

I can think of a few potential cut offs, taking differential calculus to be basic.

Integral calculus. Multivariate calculus. Differential equations. Epsilon-Lamba calculus.

But that’s just my opinion.

I also quite like the smaller feel, but I will admit I miss having a ready stream of really cute animal photos and videos. It’s a double edged sword.

I’m super picky and not very good looking, so my “swipe right” rate is less than 1%.

I used OkCupid a while back. Found myself in a relationship for about six years. Eventually we decided to kinda’ go our separate ways.

Used it again. Got back into a relationship. It’s been ten years.

My one regret is that when I was first using the site about 15 years ago I sent them 5 bitcoin to turn off ads for six months.

I feel like they’re a boon to someone like me who doesn’t like to ask people out or even express interest in folks. “People should be able to go about their lives without someone like me hitting on them,” and that kind of thing. An app is a good way to opt-in to solicitation and has a low barrier to entry.

Bandcamp for music. Libro.fm for audiobooks.

Good info. Thank you.

Oh! That could be it!

SPACE!

I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be “consensual non-consent”, which is a role play of sexual assault.

My guess is they lost the typesetting in a copy/paste. If you copy superscript or the unusual +/- character into an animation tool that doesn’t have the font or doesn’t recognize the typesetting it will drop the character or convert it to the nearest ASCII. If you’ve ever copied and pasted something into an email and had the formatting mangled, that’s like what happened here.

If each job takes 30 minutes to apply to, that’s 50 hours per week, assuming you don’t stop to eat or rest. I think my average job application takes a little longer unless I fill it with bullshit answers.

That’s assuming you’re just filling applications. It doesn’t include finding them. I think in the time I was unemployed I passed over a few hundred absolutely reprehensible and morally objectionable positions.

Why so much ghosting? My speculation is perverse incentives of the modern world. Recruiters and HR need to justify their ongoing existence so they open positions that don’t need to get filled so they can spend time filtering candidates. Meanwhile, candidates need to turn to auto filling jobs because and bulk applying because there are so many of these ghost jobs that recruiters who do need people can’t get matched up. This turns into a race to the bottom of automation and counter automation where everyone loses.

I used to spend days rotoscoping people in videos. Generative infill for background painting and automatic rotoscoping have saved probably a year of my life at this point. Image generation relies on CLIP, which needs a language model for conditioning.

I might have felt sympathy, but I’m too busy caring for people that he himself hurt. They deserve my attention more.

You don’t run over a crowd of people, crash your car, and then get to lament that there are people in front of you at the emergency room.

Surprisingly, ChatGPT is the mortal enemy of a lot of machine learning researchers. It gives people a bad impression about what the field is, poisons future training data, and gives AI researchers who make truly remarkable and useful things a bad reputation because everyone “hates AI” when they really hate the stupid VC backed circlejerk that becomes inevitable in a society like this.

My machines are named after physicists and mathematicians because that’s what I aspire to be. I don’t remember the first three, but the most recent ones were Descartes, Euclid, Fourier, Gauss, Hilbert, Ivakhnenko, Jacobi, Kepler, Lovelace, Mandelbrot, Newton, Oppenheimer, Penrose, Quillen, Russell, Silverman[1]. Next will be Turing.

EDIT: The network storage is named differently.
