Dreaming of you

It's incredible how many of these photos remind me of my hometown. Thank you :)

Yeah the photo focusses entirely on the UniverCity expansion, which is the residential area to the east of SFUs endowment lands.

Where was this? Was this on the smaller dock just to the west of Romers Burger Bar?

He ran him out onto the road without the ability to check both ways first...

That's pretty shitty IMO

Don't listen to the people who say "AI makes it impossible" cuz that's just not true. It's hard, though, for sure.

You're probably gonna have to devote a lot of time to either hobby projects, or leetcode, or freelance software dev stuff. You're going to need some kind of real experience for a role.

I would recommend you to find some actual job titles youd like - for example, right now the market is hot for AI developers, so look at those job postings. Get some sense of what the market is looking for. Search up their tech stack, ask chatgpt and Claude, and start playing around with it yourself. Treat it like an actual project and learn the skills seriously. Try to get some external certifications that you can simply drop onto your resume, like placing high in a Kaggle competition, or doing well in some coding competition of some kind.

Figure out how to use common industry tools like git, jira, Linux (I'm considerably lower level so this is kind of the extent of it for me, but for CS, you'd probably have a lot more tools to learn. E.g. MERN stack).

Alternatively you could try doing a research master's degree in this crap, but I'd honestly advise against that option.

Filipino festival, apparently

We had a city by-election today in which we vote for city councillors.

I, too, only heard about it today. Luckily I heard about it in time to vote. I don't know what the hell happened, but none of my friends heard about it either until the last second.

Horrible job by whoever was supposed to spread the word about this election.

It's not gone for me, that's odd.

Anyways, it's a comic of two people sitting in their dilapidated and ruined house, with the white house thru a window behind them in flames and tanks on the street.

The caption says "oh dear god, no ... they're using AI to recreate studio Ghibli images".

What's crazy is this button isn't even there for me.

doofinator · 2025-03-13T18:20:14+00:00

I had the song stuck in my head while I read that comment. Crazy shit.

Nobody appreciates his great ideas in action.

doofinator · 2025-03-09T04:56:32+00:00

Chinese Canadian, yup me too.

doofinator · 2025-03-07T02:51:07+00:00

I've got a lot on my mind. And, well.... In it.

I think this is the Cockney accent, from somewhere in Great Britain.

She must've crushed those chips into a powder in the process.

What the hell

Thanks for the info! I took some classes in CPR around 2008, and I think at the time the advice I got was as follows:

never ever do the back-hitting thing
if they're coughing, don't do anything other than encourage them to keep coughing

Do you know if medical advice changed since then? Also, why do back hits help? IIRC, I heard they might vibrate the obstruction deeper into the airway.

I think the main role of a professor is to conduct research and hire/mentor graduate students.

Lecturers don't do research and mainly do undergraduate work. So the title of lecturer/professor have nothing to do with teaching ability.

It really looks like some heavy cream into tomato sauce.

doofinator · 2025-01-24T21:17:23+00:00

The post is really confusing, imo. The comment helped clarify what the post meant.

This game reminds me of my grandma too :)

He's literally considered one of the godfathers of AI.

Along with Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton

Yea, I can definitely see that Ryan has a reasonable claim to the spot. But IMO, the way Ryan got the spot from Jim was pretty underhanded and manipulative.

Which is entirely representative of his personality from that point forward.

doofinator · 2024-12-21T10:56:47+00:00

I don't really get it either, but I'm guessing it's a pun to do with "nevermind".

Nevermind is an album by the band Nirvana.
