If you contact someone for a referral and they say they gave your resume to a recruiter, it's a polite way of saying they shredded it. The whole point of referrals is skipping HR.

gonna do a set soon, I should find an EDM song I can use replace the vocals with wu tang clan's protect your neck for a thematic mashup.

In this world there are two types of men, determined by how they behave when asked their zodiac sign by a woman: 1. Say they're not into that 2. Furiously googling "what zodiac sign is <date of birth>"

Mossad killed Charlie Kirk and fooled half of the Republican movement that "transgender terrorist cells" unironically exist.

Celebrating Charlie Kirk's death is shortsighted. Our system is held up by the belief that violence is bad and we can talk our problems away. If that falls apart, one day a politician or influencer you like may find themselves on the wrong end of a gun barrel.

I am Napoleon

I have a Huion Kamvas 16 Pro that I bought once because I had an early midlife crisis and decided I wanted to pivot to artist but has been collecting dust for years (later I discovered motorcycles were the calling and got 2). Maybe I'll just give it away to some artist friend.

Today I went out and bought a small Coke. When I was a child, it came in 600ml bottles: from my late teenhood onwards, they reduced it to 500ml. Now the bottle I got is 600ml, and it says "100ml more" as if that was an accomplishment. No, you gave back the 100ml you took from us

Mister, Miss, Mixxer. Because of woke, DJs now have their own gender.

Thinking about that moment Elon Musk threw up a Power Rangers salute. Feels like forever ago.

WHAT IS THIS Y AXIS?? 52.8 IS HIGHER THAN 69.1, WHICH IS ALSO THE SAME AS 30.8 FOR SOME REASON. THIS CHART IS A HATE CRIME!!!!

We already have PMCs, why can't we bring back privateers? They can help crack down on illegal fishing

They're chaining me to a bed and doing this to me tonight.

Monthly inflation in Argentina has reached 1.6%

Tesla FSD when I ask it to drive me to Will Stancil's house

God bless YouTube Premium. I get unlimited 256k AAC music to download with yt-dlp (after some configuration) to my drive with YouTube Music for my sets, and ad-free on both mobile and desktop without adblocker, all for $1.6/mo

People on Xitter have discovered that xAI's newly released Grok 4, when asked on the Israel/Palestine conflict, seeks out Elon's opinion

Meanwhile on Xitter, Elon's Grok got a little out of hand and did: 1. Some implied antisemitism 2. Called itself 'MechaHitler' 3. Wrote a gay interracial rape fantasy involving Will Stancil No comment.

Men! If she hates cats*, her soul is darker than the bottom of a well at midnight. She is not girlfriend, much less wife material! *: to clarify, I am talking about those who willingly hate cats, not those who are allergic.

lets fucking go (I should update my LinkedIn). Been talking to some AMD AI top brass and one said he'd give me connections. Maybe I'll get a job at AMD

I am now a ROCm Star. Now to wait for my name to be added to the list.

A friend of mine wants to date a tgirl and he asked me for tips. Another asked me how to seduce a femboy. Come on, do I look like the CEO of gay to you?

There's someone who keeps calling me a hun in my DMs. I don't know what I did to get called a member of a nomadic group from Central Asia, but apparently they were skilled warriors in ancient times, so I'll take the compliment.

Apple just reinvented Aero. We must RETVRN to the Windows 7/Vista days.

People on xitter found out you can tell Google search you are an animal and the AI overview will believe you

Never kys yourself.

After switching the encoder to a pretrained Resnet18, freezing layers and training for 1 epoch, my model can (kind of) drive, having learned from 81k frames in 44 laps of me playing

I'm supposed to be writing a technical report, but I can't stop testing out my music LSTM (tech demo for my approach to language modeling audio). Only 18M parameters btw

I was talking with some dude. At one point his claims became so bombastic that I stopped taking him seriously and started messing with him. I think he got tired of my antics and cut me off kek.

Small bikes are fun too.

99% of my writing is artisanal, handmade. I'd much rather my blogposts read like my particular ESL style than AI slop. I'm not budging on this.

Audio language modeling has always involved people training models to VQ audio directly. But what if we quantized mel spectrograms, then trained a vocoder like iSTFTNet, and later our AR prior on mel spectrogram indices? We can language model 44.1KHz audio with a single 1k codebook.

I tried the thing with ChatGPT where you can make up animal names and it will create pics of what it thinks they look like

A payroll company named Deel got sued for espionage. The lawyer claims that building "payroll engines" is an "extremely difficult task", and goes on about mainframes, manufacturing parts, then claims to process payroll on a global scale you need "significant advances in quantum computing"

I made a post in my substack detailing my semi-coherent thoughts about ROCm and doing ML on AMD GPUs: zdtech.substack.com/p/rocm-in-pr... The gist of it is that while AMD has some catching up to do, it is a viable platform for machine learning.

Today I learned that some researchers evaluated how different LLMs could run a vending machine business. Claude 3.5 forgot to check its inventory, believing the goods were not delivered, and over 77 days began escalating threats, ultimately sending 1-second notices and nuclear threats

I grilled some short ribs earlier today.

one of my favorite passtimes is telling chatgpt of events that just happened and having it straight up not believe me.

Got access to an MI300X 🔥

WHY IS THE STOCK MARKET RUGGING?

Damn, this is good stuff.

I threw some art into GPT-4o's native image gen and had it edit and give laser eyes.

Babby's first AR transformer (needs much more training), but it works!

When I tell someone I ride motorcycles, half the time their reply is to tell me of their mother's friend's uncle who died/got crippled in a bike accident. Like, do you think I care? I'd much rather live 50 years as a tiger than 100 as a sheep.

If you have used LLM image generators, you know they are hard to control: LLM had to send a prompt to a separate image generation tool, it did not not make the image. Gemini is the first public release of a full multimodal LLM that can directly make images. This allows the systems to do detail work

You can just ask for things

Xitter is down. Time to post here

Time to brush up on basic stats.

I finally got an offer and it's... a 1-month part time contract for something I could do in 3 days, maybe 1-2 weeks tops if it gets unexpectedly complicated.
