> To increase the contrast of our sampling vector, we might raise each component of the vector to the power of some exponent.

How do you arrive at that? It's presented like it's a natural conclusion, but if I was trying to adjust contrast... I don't see the connection.

Maybe try finding a software engineering job at a place that also uses your scientific expertise. You may be able to find or create opportunities there. The position might not exist, but you can maximize your chances of something coming your way that needs both skill sets.

Which LLM was used to generate that post?

In what sense? I'm a newbie, but curious because I'm working on stuff related to https://mesastandards.org/mesa-der-std/.

Absolutely not. It's not like there isn't a million other images that work just fine. It's a symbol (even if most people don't know) of the objectification of women, that is pervasive in a field that struggles enough with treating women fairly.

One of the "Hello, World" applications would be learning to classify MNIST digits. They have a tutorial on their site.

These communities aren't exclusively for Mormons. I think k he said gay people could hold some kind of leadership position.

Not sure what's implied by commune, but it seems like he welcomes people of other faiths in the community, even in leadership positions.

I have an MSI with Linux and Windows on it. I prefer to do everything in Linux and mostly only use Windows for games.

I'm a programmer, and working in Windows sounds kinda scary to me.

I don't think your question deserves the down votes.

Sounds like it. Our university web security lab was testing this.

Time to get a new password.

Blessing in disguise, I guess. Seems like MagicPython was better anyway. :)

And instead of writing MCMC samplers yourself, with probabilistic programming languages you can define a model and the language figures out how to do the sampling for you.

Pretty close to how I feel. It's not about the money - it's about personal progression and impact for me.

Upvoted to combat the lack of caring about honesty. Even if you don't have the money, stealing isn't justified.

So this is why they've been asking for donations? Made it seem like they're on the ropes.

I'm not sure about warehouse conditions, but from my experience in the home office, this sounds completely untrue. I'm not going back, but there were a ton of friendly people there. They treated interns really well, I think. My coworkers were a really good bunch.

Why would contributing make them look bad? Are they trying to avoid being like everyone else? I guess that's an okay plan unless everyone else is being nice to each other.

Maybe my ignorance is showing, but I've felt like Apple has been the least involved major company of them all when it comes to community stuff. They feel so aloof to me. My impression is Microsoft used to be that way but is changing.

Being offended is not a condition imposed by another. It is a choice, and being offended is avoidable. My response to that student would be something like, "Isn't that great? Now you know how to repent." Might still warrant some research to see if the professor/preacher was overly harsh - I don't really like the emphasis on guilt, though it is important to recognize when you are wrong.

I'm surprised at how many people are agreeing with this article.

I need a new phone soon, and all of my family members have iPhones, which is nice for group chat (maybe photo sharing too). I worry about getting an iPhone because I feel like Apple is going nowhere these days. If your biggest innovation is "make it bigger", "make it smaller" (macbook air, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch), we've got some things to work on. I felt like everyone struggled with Yosemite, too.

Because people wanted to watch the little confetti splash, or observe the UI break when clicking the heart too fast. :)

I hope this isn't a ridiculous question, but why not hire more people instead?

Corrected title: the sad state of one developer's experience with one web app deployment.

"All of Haskell"

Seems like there should have been 100 footnotes: *in the university I worked at, not all of academia.

They required me to for my internship at least.

In contrast, Walmart (where I worked as an intern this summer) is full of genuine kindness, bottom to top, as far as I could tell. I don't remember anyone saying a thing that was rude or harsh to me. Even higher ups seemed like cool people that you could talk to whenever you needed to.

If you're at Amazon and are looking for a kinder environment, Walmart was great to my family.

My first thought was: why are you helping people build the one of the worst UI components out there?

Not sure where it should fit in the current UI? Oh just throw it in a modal, restricting the user's ability to interact with anything else on the page, requiring an extra click to close the modal.

I'm sure there are good times to use them, but typically I find they are restrictive.

It's nice to find a higher purpose in your work. If you are paid $10 and work worth $15, you're giving of yourself for others. Work is such a big part of life, it is good to go the extra mile and serve others while you're there. Sure, you're paid for it, but your motivation can become "I'm doing this because I want my boss and the customer to have a better life."
