Maybe I should look into events being held in 'high elo' areas. Downtown Phoenix is not too far from where I live, maybe I should check there.

Reminds me of a video I saw where there were 2 AI bots meant to interview a candidate, then at one point the AI bots started interviewing each other. It ended with both AI's stuck in a loop of saying 'Have a great day' to each other.

>The best tactic is to avoid the formal process, whether it's applying via the company website, or swiping right on a profile. Instead use an inside source, an employee you know at the company you are interested in, or a mutual friend who can play matchmaker in dating.

As someone on the spectrum this is something I struggle with. I have few but close friends, and only 2 of them work in tech; neither of their companies are hiring right now.

I need to find ways in which I can make new connections with people who work in tech, but I am unsure how to go about doing so.

Maybe its just me, but it feels like there has been a lot less ransomware attacks since the Ukraine/Russia war started as well.

One of the reasons why I donate to smaller local charities, like the Husky Rescue near me. Or charities that accept physical goods like Toys for Tots and food banks.

Oh man, I had both the NXT and the original Mindstorms Lego robotics kit as a kid, brings back so many memories. I mostly made robots that tried to chase the cat around while trying to avoid falling down the stairs (half the time unsuccessfully). I even tried at one point using Java to develop programs for them, as there was a small community of people doing so online, and even some books at the local library.

Reading this article provides some great insights into the innards of the NXT which I never knew of back them (and probably also could not entirely comprehend back when I was young). This article also reminded me that I still have the NXT and all the parts sitting around in a box somewhere; maybe I should try and dig them out and make something with them, though I don't have any ideas for what I should make exactly.

>Local NPU

The main thing I've noticed with local NPU's is very few applications take advantage of it, and IIRC it's because documentation for them is lacking and there are quite a few different kinds out there, each with different API's, libraries, etc.

I'm starting to use Micro$lop now

Great, now when are memory prices going to go back to normal?

Found out they opened a Microcenter recently here in Phoenix, so nice to have a brick and mortar electronics store again now that Fry's is no longer around.

Give me an internet connection and it sounds like the perfect place for me.

A big fear of mine is something happening to archive.is

There is so much is archived there, to lose it all would be a tragedy.

Somewhat related, I'm pretty sure there was a guy in China who did exactly this as protest against their surveillance. Seems effective.

My thought when it comes to self driving vehicles though, is how do you determine what is considered unsafe here. I'm not sure about Tesla's autopilot, but Waymo for example has an excellent safety record that is better than most drivers when you compare the statistics. And yet, they are still entirely unable to avoid accidents, as mistakes and unpredictable situations happen. Maybe we should be considering a self driving vehicle safe if it has been proven to drive more safely than the average driver? It is something I think that should be considered.

Should they compensate the victims of such accidents? Of course. Should they pay out the equivalent of winning the lottery? That seems a bit much.

I'm wondering the same thing, would be great to have something similar for personal use

Sort of figured a shake up was coming with how things were going with the xbox and their game studios.

Will this have any effect on other companies developing self driving tech? It sets a very high precedent for fines, and may discourage companies from further working on such tech.

Sounds perfect for use in consumer devices.

We have known all of this for over a decade now, ever since the Snowden leaks revealed some very damning things. The public has unfortunately decided they do no care it seems...

I wish we could get the Hilux here. Had to settle for a Tacoma instead.

Oh man, modding Company of Heroes was one of the things that got me into programming. I look back fondly on those memories.

With prices going up I bet there will be many more counterfeiters now trying to take advantage of this.

There is a subreddit called /r/myboyfriendisAI, you can look through it and see for yourself.

This. The board and the shareholders are the ones with the real power.

It's telling how Nvidia released an ARM driver for Linux, but has not for Windows.

> Seemingly Microsoft got rid of the entire QA department, judging by the amount of bugs.

Unfortunately they did, back when the new CEO took charge in 2014

I always felt those Off-Stamps were at least a bit better than other disposables since the battery portion was at least reusable.
