I have done it as my main job and I echo your sentiment. It's inevitable that sometimes you have to meet a deadline or get something more important working first, but if you write bad code because you are lazy or unwilling to read the docs to do it right, shame shame shame.

Great movie. In this case, at end of this one you can have assets and apparently also tell your friends what you're up to.

It's a never ending onslaught of beginner questions and experienced folks with domain knowledge burn out. I'm sure it's good when it's new and fresh and everyone is exited to participate, but that wears out. It's why things went away from mailing lists, or why mailing lists started getting archived, so they could be searched.

I guess with most things it comes in cycles, and we're at the on demand answers cycle right now.

Ephemeral discord servers are awful because they don't scale and they can only ever help the lowest common denominator of questions/issues. We need something else, but it has yet to present itself as a solution.

It's even weirder seeing it in person, because it has a similar effect yet you know you are seeing it for real. That's just how it looks.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

George Carlin said it, but this is a great example of it in practice.

This looks really good. Thanks, I had no idea it was out there.

Regarding obsolete models, that's only partially true. There's loads of content that are effectively "finished" and won't be changing, and will grow obsolete at a fairly slow pace. Meaning they'll be useful in the models once trained for years.

Obviously new technology and similar ideas/content that didn't exist when the model was created won't be there, but the amount that changes and or is new is relatively small each year compared to all the historical content.

Nah. They will cross licence with the other big players effectively closing the market to anyone they don't bless.

How'd that work out for them? Answer? Not well. History repeats itself, so here we go!

It took me a while to realize that me and my close circle are so far removed from what most people are doing so I could logically accept that there are people who click ads and buy the stuff.

I hate ads as much as anyone on Lemmy, so I deliberately avoid clicking the ones that slip through uBlock, but I do accept that just seeing them has some influence on me.

There are huge deaths of folks that blissfully unaware (maybe by deliberate ignorance) and just happily buy stuff that's advertised to them.

While it's appalling to me, it's not even something most people consider or even care about. I don't mean this to be gatekeepy or elitist, it's just a different value system and that's fine, that's what I had to realize and that's why ads are big business.
