@futurebird I only know one adult shorter than that IRL: my mom. Other short people like to stand next to her because it makes them feel tall. :)

@rouxdoo I'll take it over the "snowmageddon" we had a couple years ago. But I sure wish we could just have some normal seasonal weather.@haayman @julijane @bartholin

@conniptions KEEN-oh-ah. Not a w, but it sounds like one if said quickly because the oh and ah are blended a bit.

@futurebird 4. If it's an interesting topic, work past the point of reason, until your brain has turned to mush and you realize you forgot to eat and sleep. Otherwise, sit down and stare blankly and despondently at the screen until you give up.

@futurebirdIt can interpolate, but it can't extrapolate. Not reliably. The math doesn't magic away the need to visualize something outside the distribution of the training data. The further the request is out of distribution, the harder it gets for the model to be accurate. If the model is able to generate these images, it means at the very least that there are CSAM-adjacent images in its training data.@rep_movsd @GossiTheDog

What would it take to build out an initial system? What kind of expertise would be needed?* Someone who knows how to found new coops from scratch (not me, in other words)* Web front end* Data management on backend* Warehousing, logistics, delivery* Probably some ML to fine-tune and efficient operation* HR/staffing expertise* Other?

Imagine if we could get the things we need delivered to our door, *without* funding a billionaire who exploits us and his workers. Who is on board?

I need employment, *urgently*. I am not picky. My family needs to eat, and that overrides everything else. Please, does anybody out there work at a company that has machine learning or Python programming positions? Would you be willing to recommend me? I can demonstrate my abilities to you, first, if you need convincing, or I can share git repos.

I'm autistic and, based on the feedback, apparently I don't interview well -- it's not clear to them that I have the necessary skills.But I know my stuff. I've been doing this for 30 years.I am so unbelievably frustrated and discouraged right now, and my anxiety is through the roof. I can't do this again. I was unemployed for almost the entire year of 2024, due to layoffs, and it was profoundly stressful and terrifying. And here I am again. FML

@bob Ahhh, okay, I was looking from the wrong perspective. I was trying to look from local relationships in the graph, not at the graph as a whole. Thanks!@futurebird
