Reply to comment by Radulno in African Folktales Reimagined on Netflix by meatball77
I just looked it up. It's certainly indie. Netflix essentially was a sponsor for a contest by distributing.
These directors were given a budget of less than 100K.

Reply to comment by lawandordercandidate in When will AI actually start taking jobs? by Weeb_Geek_7779
Well you're talking about today. Everyone else here is talking about in the fairly near future when AI starts taking people's jobs. (the subject of this thread)
As AI continues to improve, humans won't be the experts of anything. It will all be AIs. Really, by the time that it would take a human teen to complete high school (four years), AI will be the go-to source for all practical knowledge (assuming we're still alive by then to see it).

Reply to [22F/28M] I woke up to see that fiancé left for work without saying anything after a heavy discussion last night and I don't know if I should reach out or wait. by [deleted]
Both of you need to work on communication. Money is a tough topic for a lot of couples. You need to talk about it openly, honestly, and without getting angry at each other. Give him a little space and then time to have a talk about improving communication so that when you do disagree it doesn't become a huge problem, just an issue to work through together. Then together explore some resources on good communication in relationships, like this - you can find a lot with a few simple google searches:

Reply to comment by FermiAnyon in [D] Turns out, Othello-GPT does have a world model. by Desi___Gigachad
My prompt:
> Suppose I have an N>>1 dimensional space, finite in extent along any given axis, in which a set of M random vectors are dispersed (each coordinate of each vector is randomly sampled from a uniform distribution spanning some bounded range of the space). What can we say about the distances in this space between the M vectors?
I left my prompt open ended to not give it any ideas one way or another.
Its response makes sense to me. The standard deviation of a set of random samples from a uniform distribution centered at mean 0, which is proportional to the distance calculated here, should shrink as dimension N grows. If N is large, then the distribution of pairwise distances will narrow until nearly all points are roughly the same distance from each other. (The random sampling is a way to build in lack of correlation, like how you mentioned unrelated ideas)
Of course, the reverse is also true: if dimension N is small, then originally "far" points will become closer or farther (which one effect exactly is unpredictable depending on which dimensions are removed) because the averaging over random sample fluctuations disappears.

Former insurance adjuster here. Your insurance company will take care of you much better than the other guy's insurance company. Your insurance will just subrogate the bills from the other insurance company. You might have to pay your deductible first, but your insurance will get it back from the other insurance. We were trained to prioritize our own customers regardless of fault and to not care as much for the "other insured" (or people our customers hit or hit our customers).

He's scummy, has no stage presence, doesn't have any impressive knowledge or skill beyond connections. I don't understand why people in the industry respect him. I'm not belittling his achievements, I'm belittling him. I think he's mostly a pompous windbag.

I feel that. I have a bachelors and make 40k a year... literally making about 30 bucks under my monthly budget, so I have to do side hussles every month to pay bills. That budget does not include groceries and random expenses either.

Resident Evil 4 remake.
Because the original gets rose colored glasses because of nostalgia.

Look for full time teaching opportunities even ones out of state. Many schools are hurting for teachers and it wouldn’t matter that your degree isn’t education specific.

Reply to There really isn't any reason why north is always upward and south is always downward on maps. by GuinnessTheBestBoi
European maps originally had east at the top because that is where the sun rises. That was their "orientation." The silk road brought with it the magnetic compass. After that, it began to make more sense to have north at the top of the map. Source: The history of the English language podcast.
