lmfao and folks look me dead in the eye on here and tell me America will reindustrialize with this mindset spreading from the woke right
americans simply don’t have that dawg in them to actually buckle down and rebuild industry and the culture that supports it
it’s over
For the last several months I have been in negotiations with the developers for the Staples property. Read my full statements a details of the results below
Being upset at weed smell is the Weak Men portion of the cycle, during the Good Times we created after Strong Men lived through the Bad Times of indoor cigarette smoking and banned it
You’re describing persistent awareness of an open-ended set of obligations, preferences, and trade-offs that no one has fully specified.
Reliable implicit prioritization under incomplete and shifting preferences is and will continue to be as difficult as it sounds when you say it out loud.
I'm def tryna move like ben- I used to do lots of convolution in C++ during undergrad to extract reverbs from transients recorded in famous rooms, also used it to map interesting sounds onto physically modeled instruments (mostly farts tbh that shit was hilarious)
Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models
“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.
“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.
“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.
“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’
“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”
really lame crabs in a bucket attitude toward people who are super precarious despite being at the top of their fields- she's on fuuuuucking broadway dude! she's way better at dancing than you will ever be at anything! stop being obtuse!
This is just the latest example in this series of someone living on essentially nothing in NYC, because their dream job is not economical (there was also the DIY florist lady and a couple of others). That's fine and good for them, but there are few other places in the country where you can live on basically nothing. In no way could anyone argue that this lady is suffering from an "affordability" or "housing" "crisis." In fact it is sort of the opposite.

@joshuabshin@nicolegelinas my wife is a great actor but she doesn't do musicals, so she has to work as a podcast producer and bartender to make ends meet. we split a market rate $3650/month 2bdr in downtown manhattan and gross about $150k a year.
@joshuabshin@nicolegelinas ohhh shut the fuck uppppp this person is at the top of their field, it's broadway dude! stage acting in general is really really tough these days because they give all of the starring roles to movie stars to get butts in seats and pay everybody else a walmart wage.
@Sheetrockdust good if you're in a lot of debt tho! they're gonna dillute the money supply so we can provide china level wages and rents (you see this starting with new builds being priced lower than existing homes owned by people who will pass their 2020 3% mortgages down to their kids)
@PrivateNeoov Digger is the dialectical negation of all movies like the social reckoning and probably also You Can See Everything. Primetime + Digger is a double feature that is sickeningly good
