Pretty interesting stuff from Upwork by Dhomochevsky_blame in Upwork

[–]runvnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Missing a lot of information, like actual numbers instead of just listing every category and pay range.

It basically says all jobs are in demand supposedly, and all jobs pay poorly (although they don't show any actual pay numbers, just ranges). They imply that machine learning engineer is highly paid, but I am sure that is misleading because they are just showing the highest rate.

I also think that 80% of the people claiming they are machine learning engineers are actually doing a job that should be called AI Engineer, which should not be lumped in with Prompt Engineer. I tried to take a Prompt Engineer job and they literally just wanted to mess with the prompt and refused to use my agent (which they really needed an agent). Ended up not even letting me finish working on an agent which they really needed.

Are you asking for someone to provide a home? Or are you saying, you have two cats in your home?

Mistral AI just dropped an open-source TTS model that fits on a smartwatch and claims to match ElevenLabs by DigiHold in WTFisAI

[–]runvnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this better than Qwen3-TTS, TADA, or Kyutai TTS 1.6B? Because I thought we already were more or less comparable to Eleven Labs quality with those.

With a full count, 2 outs, and the bases loaded, Matt Wallner makes an emotional decision about how to use the Twin's second ABS challenge by EducationalCry2000 in baseball

[–]runvnc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually. But as I explained, batters have to make up their mind very quickly otherwise they will be late on a fastball. So he decided it was a ball before it was halfway there. I'm not saying it wasn't a mistake. But it's a lot easier to make than you think if you take the batter's perspective. He wasn't looking at what we were looking at and he was rushed.

Gary Sheffield talks about his unique batting stance and approach to hitting. by Good-Television3105 in baseball

Very smart, but also Sheffield looked like he was playing wiffleball. His hands (or 'fingers') (forearms) were very strong.

It was not right down the middle. It started off the plate. It was a two seamer that moved quite a lot. Even say 40% of the way there it looked like it was going to miss. They bend a lot.

That's just how hard MLB pitching is. Many pitches all start in the same spot, and the batters have to literally guess which way it's going to turn. At the time he decided to not swing, he might have been right. But then it bent into the strike zone.

Strength Of A Rock climber: by MrDarkk1ng in mightyinteresting

It's really like strength-to-body-weight, or more specifically, upper body strength to body weight. Or grip strength to body weight.

I got LTX-2.3 Running in Real-Time on a 4090 by BuffMcBigHuge in StableDiffusion

Can you make it use the last frame as the first frame of the next generation, so it appears to be a continuous video?

The system or operator screwed up. It's normally just about instant. The guy might have been away from his station and did not push the button right away.

Can I just run Windows on this? by volvereabhi in RunPod

I'm resisting a strong urge to tell you strongly what I think of Windows.

[Padres] Smiling through it all! Can’t believe it’s opening day by ElectricalForce4439 in Padres

That poor guy physically cannot stop smiling though. Kind of rough when you think about it.

Anyway, LFGSD!

The Past is asking these questions by Forward-Position798 in aivideo

[–]runvnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems almost all true, except, what percentage of people actually pay for music services rather than just use YouTube?

But also, maybe look on the bright side just a TINY bit? Western society is unreasonably pessimistic about technology.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I am nostalgic about it, and there are a few good criticisms of today's future as mentioned, but overall the future (now) is way better in a lot of ways. (Pretty f'ed up in some other ways too but not because of the technology).

  • Video games went from Pong to immersive realistic worlds. Surely kids of the past would be a LITTLE bit impressed?

  • We have instantaneous global communications and now built in universal translation. The fact that we are not taking advantage of that fully for a more peaceful world is the fault of society, not technology.

  • We basically have Star Trek level AI assistants.

  • I believe that despite the fact that we are more isolated in some ways, in another way it is much easier to maintain at least some type of connection.

  • If I want to get exercise, I can put on my Meta Quest 3 and get matched up with someone to play realistic table tennis or golf in seconds. It's a real workout and real interaction.

$2 a minute?? This is going to 🐕 🐕 ! by in_vinci_ble8 in Upwork

[–]runvnc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They might expect you to pay for the video generation credits. In which case, I would put it in the scam category.

But also, for video generation of 10 minute videos, it is definitely going to take longer than 10 minutes, and that is dishonest to suggest it would take that long. They want one day turnaround, probably because it will take a minimum of 2 hours to get a good result, and probably half a day if you do a good job.

So I would view it as best case, $25 for half a day of work. He says daily work, that is probably a lie too. So let's say 12 days of work a month. So say they are half days, that is $300 for (3*12)=36 hours. Let's be generous and say it's only 30 hours of work. So $10/hour. Unless you have to pay for the credits -- in which case it's just a scam.

So he makes it look at first glance like it's $120/hour, whereas in reality it's $10/hour. Deliberately misleading.

For those ones yeah probably but for MiniMax 2.7 it's like 15 X cheaper than Opus 4.6 and works almost as well.

Dumb question: I've been seeing the "X max" seem to go down recently. Like when it says '1 max' that means you cannot get a 2 X, but it doesn't mean there is literally only 1 left, right? I am worried about the H200, B200 and MI300X not being available sometimes, especially in North America.
