This is not saying that all new jobs went to women. The key word from the tweet is "net" – that is, men certainly got new jobs too, but also were let go from them or quit at an equal rate.
Do you pay for Spotify? If so, I hope you never have to experience the dumpster fire that is their free version. Half the time you select a song to play it'll just start playing related tracks.
their free version wasn't particularly horrendous the last time I tried. I clicked play on a playlist and got an ad every maybe 3-5 songs and the ads were usually around 30 seconds. although my main issue is that they only had the same 2-3 ads to play for me throughout the weeks I used the free version so that got annoying.
as someone on the internet once said, it's good that no-one at Spotify realised that people would buy the subscription much faster if it was a crying baby soundbite playing every time instead of an advertisement
Rivers form fractal shapes just like how Iterated Function Systems[1] and L-systems[2] form: by simple branching, carried out at varying levels of scale. A gentle reminder that fractals are nature's favorite building block.
But IFS and L-systems don't help explain the phenomena (the "how"), just its expression. Fractals are not a building block, physical forces are. Where one or more physical forces are dominant over a range of spatial or temporal timescales, self-similar behavior can result.
I have no problem using the word "fractal" to communicate these shapes, but I'd like folks to realize that fractals are not a force, not a goal of nature, and do not answer "how."
I think some variance is to be expected since LLMs are typically non-deterministic, however that's a huge difference that I think warrants further explanation.
I think the Qwen team is probably aware that the NSFW community is very quick to adopt any new image gen model (see: Civitai). So, it seems like a good SEO approach to try and surface their model in search results that said community is likely already checking.
