@tualatrix 应该是 slice 直译吧? Codex/GPT-4 英文对话经常用 slice:

在软件开发中，“slice”指从系统、功能或数据中取出的一小部分。它既可表示一个小而完整的功能单元（如 vertical slice），也可表示数据或数组的子集；作为动词则表示对数据或系统进行切分或提取子集。

@nishuang 坐累了站会儿，站累了坐会儿；工作累了活动一会儿。这个研究的结论只讨论了长时间站立和长时间坐着有没有区别，没有讨论升降桌带来的姿态调整的灵活性和便利性。

Computer vision has always been my thing.
​
I started way before deep learning, and I remember how complex everything was.
​
(Look at the blue book in the background of this photo. It's from 2011, and I still have nightmares about it.)
​
Modern computer vision is 100x more powerful.
​
Here is a new book: Modern Computer Vision with PyTorch. This book is the state of the art in 2024:
​
• Deep learning
• CLIP
• Segment Anything
• Stable Diffusion
• Autoencoders
• OCR using Computer Vision + NLP
• Generative Adversarial Networks
• Deep Q-learning for computer vision
• Productizing computer vision models
​
There's much more, but I'm too lazy to keep writing, so check out the outline online: https://t.co/yXji8QACpq
​
If you want to get into computer vision, there's no better book out there.

@HotmailfromSH 可能很多人没有试过电动洗鼻器，我用京东上买的 ‘九安（Andon）’，比手动的好用多了。大牌的洗鼻盐+纯净水（加热后更舒服）。注意壶体本身的清洁。洗鼻主要是用来减轻症状，不治本。担心副作用的话就少用，比如从过敏源较多的环境里出来，以及睡前，一天不超过两次。症状消失或可控的时候就停用。

Life satisfaction is mostly about personality, for most people, most of the time. Even more so, than we thought.
Likely the most comprehensive study yet is now out in the JPSP: https://t.co/0PPyBCjfEe 🧵

@elonmusk No. People should be concerned that only a small number of entities can build biases into AI systems.
If we have open-source base models that anyone or any group can fine tune, then we will have a wide diversity of biases for people to choose from.

One perspective

[Rainier @mtrainier2020]

这个原作者是瞎几把扯。TikTok的前身叫musically。老板叫alexzhu，也是个80后。是我大学舍友的高中同学，湖南人。musically 最开始是搞教育类视频的。但是启动的很不好，学习，极少数人主动爱学习。然后他们开始改版了，想出了音乐+视频这个玩法。 据说也是Alex来硅谷出差时想到的。
然后他回去改版了。然后数据就开始爆炸了。 蹭蹭蹭往上暴涨。 然后我在分析app排行榜的时候，发现了这个app。然后扒背后的公司，发现居然在上海。后来跟我舍友聊起，才发现世界很小。 16年musically 还被aws拿出来作为样板宣传。没几个人撑起了全球几个国家的业务。
当时最开始出现头部网红的国家不是美国，是德国。然后才是美国。然后是日本。数据好的不得了。
我一直劝我大学舍友去投奔他去，只不过我舍友抹不开面子，没有去
后来，公司遇到了瓶颈。这才是后面字节收购了musically，好像才1个b吧。字节合并并rebrand成了TikTok。 海外这块的数据基本上还是musically的。
原作者真能扯…..

Ah, this explains it.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.

As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.

I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:

1. Enough with Both-sides-ism

When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking

Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.

If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.

3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions

Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.

Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts.

Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.
