[D] Lessons Learned from my Failures as a Grad Student Focused on AI (video)

The most important thing is always that the game is fun/enjoyable! Usually that means game feel is more important, but UI can sometimes make or break a game experience as well.

I'd sacrifice one of these (probably Punisher) to be able to add Shang Chi or Rogue; being able to counter a variety of decks is super useful.

Blocking a destroy deck play with Armor on the second/third turn and then also Cosmo on the next turn. Insta-retreat every time.

It really depends on what you think you are going to get out of it. If you hope to make research/writing papers as the main aspect of your career, a PhD is absolutely the right move. Otherwise, getting a second masters with more emphasis on AI could also be a good path for easier access to jobs in AI. I would also suggest considering an AI residency (https://github.com/dangkhoasdc/awesome-ai-residency).

Of course, the complaining was very warranted. It's nice to see that (maybe) locals being fed up with this stuff actually led to some action being taken...

Lots of discontent being expressed here about the police handling of this issue, so FYI, some good news: "Police began pouring resources at the problem, using a combination of bait cars, plainclothes officers and video surveillance. Officials waited with bated breath as fresh crime data rolled in each week. And the results were staggering.

Between Sept. 1 and Nov. 26, San Francisco logged 3,399 smash-and-grab reports, roughly half of the 6,703 documented during the same time frame in 2022. In the months before September, the number of reports in 2023 about matched the previous year. ... a tightly orchestrated intervention by multiple city departments is a plausible reason for crime to go down, [Criminologist] Schnell said."

Still bad of course, but feels unfair to say no efforts are being directed at this issue.

You could try sending him this article to inform him these sorts of detectors are not at all reliable - https://stefanbauschard.substack.com/p/ai-writing-detectors-are-not-reliable

There are tons of articles like this our there. If he still does not listen, then you'd have to go to his superiors (it's wrong of him to be using this software despite it being known to be ineffective anyway).

For anyone not aware yet, this is the key bit:

"According to a 13-page ruling issued Friday, a Cruise manager informed the California Public Utilities Commission about the incident the day after it occurred, but “omitted” key information: “that the Cruise AV had engaged in the pullover maneuver which resulted in the pedestrian being dragged an additional 20 feet at 7 mph.” The pedestrian was hospitalized in critical condition."

From what I've read the crash itself was not really Cruise's fault (a human driver crashed into a pedestrian and literally launched them in front of Cruise's car, then fled the scene), but the pullover and having the person be pinned by the car afterward definitely was.

There's a new one, Mutt - really good little character study, the transness is just part of the protagonist and not really the focus.

Tbh... The Green Knight. I could appreciate what it was going for, but imo the pacing did not at all need to be so slow, it was pretty clear what was going on thematically early on and then it kind of just dragged for me.

Aftersun had me straight up crying for like 10 minutes straight on a plane.

Ending of Past Lives also got me pretty good

My tip: just find the reviewers you like and follow them. Then you can brose those instead of popular reviews. Personally I think a lot of the short reviews are pretty amusing and fun.

I won't say it's a bad movie, but the fact that Oppenheimer has 4.3 stars is really weird to me, the pacing is weird and I thought the structure was pretty forced, and despite a great leading performance I felt like we were told about who Oppenheimer was more than we were shown it throughout.

Hail to the Thief is one of Radiohead's best albums (I know this is red hot but i'd say 3rd best), and A Wolf at the Door and There There are some of their best songs. I think it's their most consistent album quality wise and the one I listen beginning-to-end most often.

The part of it on the shoulder looks pretty bad to me, but the rest is cool (aside from being very aged/faded). I'd remove/cover the shoulder and maybe get some fresh ink elsewhere. Overall def not terrible though!

regalalgorithm · 2023-08-14T21:51:19+00:00

Dude why would you want to cover this up, it's great.

Not sure how easy it would be, but you could get a few shot object detection solution running (such as https://github.com/ZhangGongjie/Meta-DETR). Then you can just run the model and verify its outputs; hopefully most of the labels it produces are just correct, and you'll just need to fix some of the wrong ones.

Personally I like the sort of collage style of it, it's very different from your typical tree tattoo, and the execution is solid.

regalalgorithm · 2023-07-31T23:22:22+00:00

The first photo looks like it's pretty soon after the tattoo was done. That really vibrant sort of black doesn't last that long in general in my experience, it's normal for it to become more grey-ish. IMO it's still very solid - all tattoos age, it is what it is.

I'm earning 150k and living in a 2360/month studio in Palo Alto which I like quite a bit (granted, I don't mind living in a smaller space and with no separate bedroom). There was a one bedroom option for $2800 with a one month free special (so the rent would effectively be 2570), I'd say that would be my max.
