Can somebody post the job position here?

I'm sure Edward Blum will turn his focus on this issue next

Pouring out liquor for the eventual grad student who is going see there GPT model hallucinate this the night before a project is due

Starting the night before was when they had to work alone, this will be the hour before.

Kind of like browsing an OSS repository to see "how it works" for inspiration.

And that's what sourcegraph.com is for

Sourcegraph is minimum $5k a year and the free version is wildly limited.

Hey, PM at Sourcegraph here, we recently launched a new app. It's free and easier to set up, and it lets you sync both local code and remote repos. https://docs.sourcegraph.com/app

Intersting, I'll look into that. Thanks.

ELI5?

SVB had an unusually risky customer profile while taking (debatably) risky bets with deposits from said customers.

> Heightism and racism really is the same thing.

The mental gymnastics is astounding

'Discrimination bad' is simpler than what's happening in your head, I think

you just keep digging your own grave lol

there is a Twitter video linked. it's truly nonsense and in glad it was banned tbh. he says the pandemic was planned and COVID vaccine didn't work amongst other misinformation

It is utterly nonsensical and foolish but I don't like the fact that it was banned.

When US media reports on activities like this in countries like China and Russia they call it censorship. When they report on the same activities in the US they call it "protecting the public from misinformation".

It's a very very slippery slope to ban things. Who gets to choose what gets banned? Who gets to say what is misinformation or not?

It blows my mind how shortsighted most of my left of center friends are on this topic. They seem to have this delusion that these levers of power are only ever going to be controlled by the people they agree with. In the early 2000s a lot of people I argued with were totally supportive of the Patriot act. They were generally conservatives and were just completely confident it would never be used against US citizens. Now those same people are witnessing calls from people on the left who wants opposed to Patriot act to use it against US citizens with right-wing politics.

maybe to let ppl know it still exists lol

That may be it. Renderman is of historical interest because it introduced shaders to the industry.[1] That's where the look of Pixar's early work comes from. Everybody else texture-mapped photos of the real world, or 2D paintings, while Pixar was generating infinitely fine detail with shader programs. This allowed the camera to get close to objects without the textures going blurry or blocky.

Today, shaders run in GPUs, and everybody does this, but in a different way.

The TMS34010 was also quite relevant in what concerns shaders.
