Well I mean, look back to the Covid mandates - if employees were compliant than, I see no reason why management wouldn't think they would be compliant now. Having worked middle management in the corporate world - corps…
I think between Invidious and Freetube there are enough alternative feeds to to Youtube these days.
Often times you will find cash only businesses, especially in Chinatown and restaurants that will give you a discount on the final bill if you pay in cash. I have been to some mid-range restaurants that will knock 10%…
I have a colleague at Amazon who mentioned this last point as the explicit reason he planning to leave Amazon. He was (is) a people manager and every year, having to cut off a member of his team for no reason was not…
It's all about the money, the writer himself mentioned he had 100k's of stock that would vest. When you get into the 100k range of windfalls, people will do all sorts of things, even people you have known for years.…
I am somewhat reminded of Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk world where corporations effective own the nation state's that they are headquartered in.
Location: Toronto, Canada Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Would consider relocation to US Technologies: Python, C++, experience in machine learning, 6+ years of exp as a data scientist Résumé/CV:…
I think there is an additional issue here - which is if you want to pay to remove ads from youtube you have to have an account and that by definition provides your analytics and browsing history to youtube no? There is…
Hi, I am a generalist, with a strong specialization in Data science and machine learning. I have an academic background in physics and over 10 years of programming experience in C++ and Python. Location:Toronto, Canada…
I can't believe in a lot of these countries this is enforced or obeyed to any degree. The closer the empire is to collapse the stupider the laws.
I have heard of someone (on a talk show) crossing over with a large amount of gold coins. Since the coins (the Gold Loonie) has a nominal face value of something like 200 CAD - he just told the customs that he was…
The entire Covid years and the way government and society responded was the most cynical thing I have ever witnessed in my life and it completely altered my worldview and the way I see government, society and people in…
I don't know if you looked into pursuing academic career and running the post-doc circuit (maybe that doesn't happen in ML) but academia is ultimately a business and academics are overwhelming pressured to publish and…
Several actually but here is one: I learned passing reading comprehension of Chinese in high school. My parents were immigrants and I left China after kindergarten so I never could read or write Chinese - this always…
Can long covid be considered post-viral fatigue? I remember being knocked out with Mononucleosis years ago and being tired out for over a month afterwards. Or is long Covid something entirely different?
It's very honest of him to breakdown how he makes his living on SerenityOS - really enjoyed that blog post, helps give people an idea of how a very technically saavy person can make it in today's world as a "nomad".
I always wondered where the talent and technical expertise inside China for manning and refining the GFW comes from and how many people it feeds - it seems at this point like family planning, an agency so big it exists…
This might be okay with me if it weren't for the fact that browsing through an account means Youtube can track my viewing habits.
This is pretty cool, what kind of noise algorithm is allowing you to generate the the height map? Is this Perlin noise? I have been working on a game where the map is procedural generated.
I started my first industry job in 2015 well after this and I was still wined and dined the night before the interview. The cocktails were $12, I had three, my future manager assured me that there was nothing to worry…
If you could build a sufficiently sensitive neutrino detector you could look past the ionization era of the Big Bang. What you can see in the sky is limited to that era in the cosmic history as before that period the…
Midjourney has been really helpful to me as a one man dev. I can mockup art much faster then what I can do in photoshop. I still intend to at some point do a complete pass using a professional artist (or learn to draw…
What's that saying? Something like: "It's not that Einstein was so brilliant, it's that so many more Einsteins spend their whole lives in the farm fields" and in between is there is a whole spectrum of talent vs…
In my experience running your own business is all about relationships. The fact is someone with capital to spend can deploy it to anyone, so why should they deploy it to you? Are you their cousin? Did you go to the same…
Getting a faculty job at 25 is extremely impressive, the mistake he made was using violence to spread his message - in his manifesto he even states that he uses it to make sure message heard - but if he had just held…
