I have graduated at the end of last year’s September. Recession has fucked up the jobs in my country pretty badly. I had a job for a few months, I left it, and I’ve not worked for about a year. Since staying with my parents isn’t a cultural taboo, everything is decent here, except for my mental health. Having to see my successful friends and classmates being independent fucking sucks, but since I’m not the only one stuck in this bad condition, there’s a sense of brotherhood, I’d guess?

Now who’s making fun of the green bubbles?

Decent list, but is it just me, or does all of it sound like common knowledge?

I’ve used Spleeter CLI quite often, but I’ve also heard that there are better, open-source models out there that outperform the one that is used in Spleeter, unfortunately, neither is the pre-trained model, nor the project repo available - just an open-access paper.

This page also missed out on essential apps like Tesseract OCR which is a must-have.

No offence and also totally random, but Leopold sounds like one of those naughty undergarment brands for couples.

Libgen and it’s alternative hostings are a god-send for people like me who can’t afford a single dime to buy books.

This smells like the Reddit drama. Are we going to see a mass exodus to Godot now?

ToxMod assesses the “tone, timbre, emotion, and context” of a phrase or conversation to determine whether a player is behaving in a harmful way.

Given how neural networks are considered black boxes, is there any specific counter-measures against false-positives? And what about the running costs of the model? Is it sustainable for the game company?

I wish people simultaneously added their content to Peertube. My trust for big tech is at an all-time low.

The difference in income is by about 9-10 time. Salary for a NASA scientist can go in the range of ₹1 to 2 crores (converted from dollar to rupees). For a ISRO scientist however, they may earn in ₹10-15 lakhs.

I’ve made a comment explaining why the mission was so cost-effective, you can read it here. But yes, salary is not even one of the main reasons.

For people who are not able to understand lakhs and crores, it’s a part of the numbering system used in India. For the international numbering system equivalent, you can read this comment.

Except that the cost wasn’t lowered because of the labour. It has everything to do with how well-optimised the rocket launch was. And by well-optimised, I’m talking about extremely optimised launch.

The launch location was the most important factor here - SDSC (Satish Dhawan Space Centre), Sriharikota. This particular region allows a rocket to be launched in the eastern direction, taking advantage of the Earth’s rotation.

Sriharikota is also located closer to the equator, making it easier to break out into the space thanks to the extra centripetal force. Neither does the USA, China or Russia have that advantage. African nations in the future may have a lot of advantage, especially countries in the eastern coast like Egypt, Somalia and Ethiopia.

Another reason for the low cost was that the organisation had lots of experience sending launch vehicles to the outer space.

Some parts had to be outsourced from international companies, which may also add to making this mission not being cost-effective. By just saying that the wage of scientist was x times less, you’re invalidating the efforts of ISRO scientists in low-cost material research.
