A great, slightly more in depth (without being mathy) explanation of transformer models. Mostly talking about AlexNet, an image classifier from 2012. Goes over some history and has some very interesting looks under the hood.

He does use some personifying language for these models, but that's unfortunately the case for most information on the topic.

 

There's a short snake camo at the very end for anyone who may/may not want to see that.

“Cow-to-cow transmission is definitely playing a role in how this disease progresses. To what extent, we don’t know yet,” Leibsle said. It’s clear that infected wild birds spread the disease to herds in Texas and Kansas, he said. “But the herd of cattle that came up from Texas to Idaho, the birds didn’t follow,” the state veterinarian said...

...Idaho’s Leibsle said “not all dairy producers will want to wait one, two, three weeks” for dairy cows to recover. Some producers may decide to send the animals to slaughter as beef animals, he said.

This bird flu shit scares me really badly.

full textI firmly believe that being terminated for cause or marked "ineligible for rehire" should carry lifelong consequences, regardless of the circumstances, and be treated as a felony (just as a dishonorable discharge from the US military is felony-equivalent). Being fired for cause is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly, and it should serve as a permanent mark on one's record. Here's why I believe this:

Permanent Mark on Record: Being fired for cause or marked as "ineligible for rehire" should follow you for the rest of your life and be treated the same as a felony conviction. This is a serious consequence that should make individuals think twice before engaging in misconduct or inappropriate behavior in the workplace.

No Excuses for Misconduct: Regardless of whether you feel your supervisor targeted you or if you believe there were mitigating circumstances, being fired for cause is shameful and should be treated as such. Excuses do not change the fact that serious misconduct occurred. The ONLY exception here is if you were laid off for purely financial reasons, in which case that's not a "for-cause" termination & you'd likely be eligible for rehire.

Equal Consequences for All: Just like how a dishonorable discharge in the military is equivalent to a felony, being terminated for cause should have serious, lifelong consequences. This applies to all forms of misconduct, including but not limited to sexual harassment.

Public Registry: Those who are terminated for cause or marked as "ineligible for rehire" should be placed on a publicly-accessible registry, similar to how the sex offender registry currently operates. This information can be used by prospective employers, friends, and family to make informed decisions about associating with the individual.

Loss of Rights: Individuals who are terminated for cause should lose their right to vote and bear arms, similar to the consequences of a felony conviction. They should also lose the right to both Federal and private employment, as well as recourse to any form of welfare or charity.

As only the opinion of the employer matters here, there would be absolutely no right of appeal for these consequences once the employee has lost their job, no matter the circumstances.

By implementing these consequences, we can ensure that individuals think twice before engaging in misconduct in the workplace and that those who do face appropriate lifelong consequences for their actions. During the pandemic, people have forgotten how to treat their employers with respect; this is one way we could fix that.

Its a new account so maybe a troll? But they have left a bunch of non troll comments so shrug-outta-hecks

shitload of comments from their post history (went overboard oops)

Quitting before about 3-5 years is unethical. Hiring is outrageously expensive and they haven't even gotten a positive ROI out of you yet.

Realistically in the first 6-12 months you shouldn't be taking any time off at all, no matter the reason.

Be grateful they gifted you the opportunity to interview at all.

Taking the job is understandable. Continuing to look is unethical. It's understandable in this permanently horrific job market why OP would accept the job, but that comes with the expectation OP ceases their search and commits long-term to this job.

r/ChoosingBeggars. Min wage is new normal for most jobs.

There's also a little bit of, you lost your job, you kinda have a debt to society to repay.

"What do I tell interviewers in the future when asked about this position?" The honest truth. Your boss didn't like you, so you were fired for cause.

A job is MORE than a marriage actually. You're spending more time with your job than your SO usually (unless you count sleep time... waking hours most definitely). Your job is paying all your living expenses. So yeah, it's deeper than a marriage.

Work's supposed to suck.

Quitting an internship is super shitty, paid or not.

Can't speak for UK but under US social norms, the leaving on short notice/before 3-5 years on the job would get you for sure blacklisted from that company for life, and likely from any other company too.

That is incredibly, horrendously unethical that you broke your commitment to not one, but two companies within ~3 months. People like you are why we need central, public do-not-hire registries.

Unpopular opinion but if an employer gives you the gift of a job in this economy, you absolutely owe them your undying loyalty and gratitude. This is the worst job market ever, perhaps worse than 1929, and it will never get better. If you've been with a company under 5 years, there is almost never a reason you should even be entertaining the idea of an interview with another company. If a recruiter reaches out you should pull the proverbial "sorry I have a boyfriend" card.

Honestly kinda leaning towards this being an actual techbro bootlicker,

The world gen is way better. It's shocking how much better it is, they did a really good job. The caves are more interesting, the biomes blend better, mountains are taller and more impressive. The old gen is still nostalgic, obviously, but I'd much rather play with the new worlds.

There's a bunch of new blocks that are nice, including some redstone stuff. There's some new mobs, and lots of small things I'm forgetting. Honestly, on the whole, it's been a good few updates.

It's not official, but the new horizons mod is insane. Literally hundreds of chunks of render distance, with very low/no performance hit compared to vanilla. It's incredible.

This is a joke post, and there are lots of jokes here, but we are legitimately communists.

The only reason it matters is the term brigading explicitly pertains to "how people get there"

Yes, and its the least important part of the definition. Unless there's intentional destruction, its not brigading. Even people who care about brigading very rarely care how people find posts. Its only when they feel people are being destructive that they care.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I disagree with your idea of brigading. It's a public space, why does it matter how people get there? What matters is what they're actually doing. Why would anyone care how someone got somewhere, if they're not doing anything else wrong? And how is disagreeing with someone, or telling a bigot to fuck off wrong?

To me, the issue is trying to destroy the space itself. But honestly, if telling a bigot to fuck off destroys the space, how much am I supposed to care? Why would anyone care about a space where bigots are protected? Do people genuinely see a space full of bigots as a space worth saving?

Agence France-Presse explains that the sharp decline in demand for wine means that prices have also fallen

I thought supply and demand were good?

I agree, it is difficult. And if the crushee didn't want to keep being friends, I could understand that. I'm also not saying people should feel like they have to be friends if they don't want to be, for whatever reason.

I think asking for a promotion would be a better analogy. You obviously (I say obviously but from what I've heard...) shouldn't keep asking for a date or a job interview. But remaining friends isn't nagging for a job interview. It's hoping things can stay the same. I've not gotten promoted before, but I don't think it'd be better to just quit. (as long as I can be okay in my current place).

I agree with most of what you said, but I really don't see why you couldn't be friends with someone you had/have feelings for. You can keep stuff to yourself, and be okay with being friends. Obviously the crusher has to accept that going further isn't going to happen. You can logically know something, and behave accordingly, even if your feelings are different.

Absolutely no self awareness.

 

I don't really want to link the discord server and cause issues for it, so if that's an issue for rule one I'm sorry, please remove the post. I just had to share with someone.
