I'll never forget the way the tech industry was sacrificed to counter inflation

Nov 2022: The Fed minutes show they want increased unemployment to stop inflation (1st pic)

June 2023: Bernanke and Blanchard say the labor market will have increasing influence of over inflation, and the Fed should continue slowing the economy (2nd pic)

May 2024: Where we are now, and tech roles are still rare. The few openings that exist still receive thousands of applicants

The image shows highlighted text from the Bernanke & Blanchard paper published by Brookings, available here: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-caused-the-u-s-pandemic-era-inflation/ > To the extent that commodity prices stabilize and sectoral shortages moderate-processes that both seem well advanced as of this writing (June 2023)—the goods market component of inflation is likely to decrease in importance, and the labor market component to become more dominant. Looking forward, with labor market slack still below sustainable levels and inflation expectations modestly higher, we conclude that the Fed has to slow the economy to return inflation to target.

Ok so my friend sent me a code for ghosts of tsushima and I got sucked into it. RIP stardew valley. Wow it is such a great game. It's like a more grown up, more violent Zelda game.

Anyone else remember posting on Advogato? (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advogato)

Evidence that the "wisdom of markets" is way overblown: xAI (Elon Musk's also-ran bullshit machine) raised six billion-with-a-b dollars to do... something. 🤮

Is this a seal seed?

A date palm seed faced at the camera. It looks like it has 2 eyes, a mouth, whiskers and a stuby nose, like a seal.

This article on ‘man or bear’ was surprisingly great

Google blew it. They could have stood back and said: "Ha! Microsoft is so desperate for hype, it is irresponsibly linking LLMs to Bing. Google instead stands for reliable search and won't do that." But instead, Google did. They knew better. They all knew better. LLMs have no sense of meaning. They should be nowhere near the expectation of credibility.

Does anyone know of any code laying around the net that distributes points on a mesh in a blue noise distribution?
A student intern i work with is looking for this. It's tempting to write it, but im also kinda swamped :X

For folks that know me as "the blue noise guy", I've put together a 50 minute video that talks about many of the things I've learned in my ~decade long dive into noise and related topics - up to and including our latest paper published days ago at I3D.
I hope you enjoy it!

A slide showing how random numbers which are positively correlated on the screen give correlated resulting renders, uncorrelated random numbers give uncorrelated renders, and negative correlation random numbers give negatively correlated renders. Negatively correlated renders have the best perceptual quality, despite all three having the same actual error.

When AI hype has settled some, I'd like to see neural primitives be considered to be part of standard CS education along with other ADTs.
Hype makes ML look like too good to be true magical algorithms, and then fails because it was a grift all along. But, there is legit value.
When you watch educational videos on auto encoders, U nets, etc etc, they talk about specific things they are good at to fit in a larger solution.

If you write out the basic facts of trees, but framed as technology, it sounds like impossible sci-fi nonsense. Self-replicating, solar-powered machines that synthesize carbon dioxide and rainwater into oxygen and sturdy building materials on a planetary scale.
