Yes it's pretty cool. There was a neat comparison of deep learning development that I think resonates quite well here.

Around 5 years ago, it took a lambda user some pretty significant hardware, software and time (around a full night), to try to create a short deepfake. Now, you don't need any fancy hardware and you can have some decent results within 5 min on your average computer.

What do you mean?

Thanks to the both of you. Since you were able to see this, I assume my posts are now visible to the community.
Re: on Thursday April 11, 2024 @07:13AM (#40000905)
Thanks for confirming you could see this - this is the first time it has happened, though, as previously, I would ask colleagues to check if they could see my post, but they couldn't.

Hi, HN community. I hope that whatever project you are working on is going well.

I have been unable to post any links every since the creation of this account.

I was told that maybe my account had been flagged. Upon looking at deleting and re-creating my account, I read here that there were better ideas than this one.

Can somebody tell me what they think might happen and the best course of action moving forward? Thanks

I'm a big fan of cerbos :D

I made an analysis on the repos starred by top devs. I found these gems and hope they can be of use to the community.
Pretty cool tech!
I saw this before actually! Pretty cool repo :)
Re:Apple is reportedly ending its partnership with Goldman Sachs on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @06:37AM (#38458192)
I wasn't aware Apple had partnered with Goldamn Sachs from the first place - weird that it did not work considering both are titans in their respective industries. Beyond what was provided in the article, can someone provide more clarification for why it did not work? I understand the delayed payments can be frustrating but what I can't figure out is why these gigantic firms were not able to make it work - surely they have the financial power to overcome any burden.

I'm not in the industry (obvi lol) so would appreciate any enlightenment on this. :)

I just read the link you sent. Unfathomable

The idea of writing up a documentation for your house is the most engineering thing I ever heard lol. On a side note, really good read :)

Re:One of the greatest user interface disasters in history on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @05:58AM (#38457915)
What an insane story. Crazy to think that some of these engineering errors led to such a disastrous outcome...

I do resonate with someone's comments in the above sections reflecting on whether or not such a narrative would be given if it was say, a UI mistake from an enemy country.

Re:The coolest robot I've ever built on Tuesday November 07, 2023 @10:34AM (#38177984)
I completely get where you are coming from on this.

However, I do find it enjoyable when you allow yourself to get lost in, for instance, a great opera song accompanied with cool images.

There is beauty in letting go of this guilt for not being 100% productive all the time.

One thing to point out, I meant I related to you in the obsession to follow someone like say Peterson.

I really like the text. Short, concise and to the point. I also felt like you were describing a little bit of me lol. The one thing I fail to capture is, what is the solution to this problem? How can these intellectuals not "die"?
I do speak 4 languages (french, mandarin, english and spanish) and in my opinion I do think there are some language that are simpler to learn than others. For instance, if you speak any languages that are from latin than you should be able to learn other languages issued from latin as well. So if you are French, you should have more ease learning italian, spanish and portuguese. Just my two cents.
