Are there types of disability insurance you can buy that would cover you as a software engineer in case something like this happens and you're not able to go back to work or not work as effectively in this field? Does anyone have experiences with this?

It feels like each time SCE makes a new console, it'd always come with some novelty that's supposed to change the field forever, but after two years they'd always end up just another console.
Maybe I ate too much marketing but it does feel like having the PS5 support SSDs raised the bar for how fast games are expected to load, even across platforms.

Im interested to see if you encounter the same with a different phone. Most probably a software issue, but are we sure it isnt something defective with your phone?
My read of the article is that they were importing photos from their camera to their laptop, so there's no phone involved anywhere here.

I wish the chart extended past 28, otherwise how do we know that it tops out there?
What are some good ways to participate if you don't have an HF radio? (Alternatively, what's a good way to get into HF if you live in a small apartment)?
(I already have my license)

I'm a Canadian who moved to the SF bay area after graduating. A lot of my smartest friends who came with me at the same time are actively taking steps to move back due to the political environment.

Would recommend getting a Ham technician license, as it will prepare you to understand the LNA and filter hardware.
Best regards =3

I would love to build something like this, but it looks like the project is not quite complete yet? And also I don't see anywhere on the page where I can sign up for updates.
They had a bot, for a long time, that responded to every github issue in the persona of the founder and tried to solve your problem. It was bad at this, and thus a huge proportion of people who had a question about one of their yolo models received worse-than-useless advice "directly from the CEO," with no disclosure that it was actually a bot.
The bot is now called "UltralyticsAssistant" and discloses that it's automated, which is welcome. The bad advice is all still there though.
(I don't know if they're really _famous_ for this, but among friends and colleagues I have talked to multiple people who independently found and were frustrated by the useless github issues.)
I was hit by this while working on a project for class and it was the most frustrating thing ever. The bot would completely hallucinate functions and docs and it confused everyone. I found one post where someone did the simple prompt injection of "ignore previous instructions and x" and it worked but I think it's delted now. Swore off ultralytics after that.
did you guys ever try having the agents play the song slower at first?
We definitely tried extending the lookahead, but I don't think we tried having a curriculum-style thing where we gradually increased the speed of the song. Great idea though!
