This is not the future we wanted by pasjojo in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]dorkability 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in the near future, most likely. People rarely understand that robotics aren’t not at the same place as humans in terms of dexterity, flexibility, and ability to follow instructions from another human.

So a robot completely replacing a grocery clerk? Probably not. But improved infrastructure (i.e. a machine that can forklift more stuff) can help reduce the amount of grocery clerks hired.

Books like Caraval and Once Upon a Broken Heart? by Kween_Honee_7406 in YAlit

You have to try A Sorcery of Thorns. I’d say it’s more magical academia but it fits the whimsical fairy tale vibe.

What YA trope makes you put the book down? by BeatrixFosters in YAlit

[–]dorkability 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, why is every other male lead in a YA novel a prince?

2023 new grad job search experience (stats below) by thewarrior71 in cscareerquestions

[–]dorkability 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It takes 5 years because we alternate between internship and academic semesters. And Waterloo has a job board that hires from Waterloo students. It’s super helpful for the first few internships.

Recs like Howl's Moving Castle and Enchantment of Ravens by kellyfish11 in YAlit

[–]dorkability 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Winter’s Promise gave me Howl Moving Castle vibes. I can definitely see it as a Ghibli movie.

So, The Twilight Series is getting a TV reboot by Xftg123 in YAlit

[–]dorkability 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I feel like the vast majority of recent movies based on YA books were chosen because they had a diverse cast. Especially Netflix.

This just in: all women who watch anime are pick-me girls!!! Ecchi harem is the only genre that exists!! Sigma male weebs rise up!!! by The-banana-goose in TrashTaste

[–]dorkability 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yona of the Dawn, Chihayafuru, and Banana Fish would be my first-picks of each genre/demographic, respectively.

[–]dorkability 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Darn, I have so many good manga/manhwa recs.

For books, I can only think of contemporary recommendations. You have to check out Stolen by Lucy Christopher. It has a bit of stockholm syndrome by the way.

You’ve probably already read Six of Crows, but Kaz will brutally kill anyone who lays hands on Inej.

Yandere boy x Sociopath girl art finished🫶🏼💕 by iliketomakecomics in MaleYandere

[–]dorkability 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You should read “I’m Dating a Psychopath”. It’s still early to see any yandere but both of them are definitely not normal. Art is also phenomenal.

‘Harry Potter’ Series Adaptation Officially Ordered at HBO Max, Will Feature Entirely New Cast by misana123 in entertainment

Or a Marauders spin-off

There's been a debate about needing more Young Adult books stories for young boys given they don't really have many options post middle grade, and outside of manga and superhero comics, I think that's a good idea. The question is, what stories would be solid for the next generation? by throwawaytempest25 in YAlit

[–]dorkability 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree that casual learned misogyny contributes to boys not watching female-led stories, it’s not just contained to books.

However, having read lots of Young Adult, the romance written is almost always with the female gaze. Dudes like Rhysand, Jacks, and otherworldly hot men are unrelatable and unrealistic role models to the average boy.

But honestly, sometimes I just want something unabashedly female-gaze haha.

ya book recs with guys like aaron warner, jacks from ouabh, cardan greenbriar, thomas cresswell (stjr series), kaz brekker, maven calore, darkling by delilah_unarchive in YAlit

[–]dorkability 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you would like Lukas from the Black Witch. He’s not exactly on the good side, but is not evil in the traditional sense either.

From the wikia,

“Lukas is powerful, unpredictable, seductive, and can be arrogant and aggressive. He knows he is a powerful Mage and he knows how attractive he is. He is charismatic and charming when it gets him what he wants. Lukas is casually cynical. He has a penchant for humor at fraught times.”

Unfortunately, he is one of the dudes in a love triangle I’m not for sure who’s winning (haven’t caught up).

I wasn't sure what to expect reading the top comment before watching the video by d1rtywaters in TrashTaste

[–]dorkability 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are a lot more willing to get into passionate arguments about stupid stuff for fun. This is the same as bone vs bone-in or crust vs no-crust. It’s entertaining to debate while no feelings gets hurt. Don’t take this argument so seriously lol

OpenAI CEO: It's Not Funny That I'm Afraid of the AI We're Creating by landlord2213 in Futurology

[–]dorkability 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t mind OpenAI retracting it’s open source policy, not because of what other companies will do with the technology, but what countries and nations will do with it.

For those of you not going for any graduate program, why do grades matter? What's the difference between a 70 and a 90? by ananymouse23412345 in uwaterloo

[–]dorkability 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Grades matter if you want to go on exchange.

Pretraining a Critic Network on expert data. by [deleted] in reinforcementlearning

[–]dorkability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know where I could find implementations of these? Or which algorithms does so. I’ve been using the imitation github repo but there was no indication in the docs that a value function is learned in any of the algorithms.

Most useful courses you took in your undergrad? by dorkability in mlops

What would be the equivalent of a data science lab? I’m in computer engineering and I’ve never heard of a data science lab.
