I think its hard to draw a fine line on where this responsibility lies. For example: for years, MongoDB took a lot of shit because by default it spins up unauthenticated. Hypothetically; devs take on the responsibility of adding a password.

I worry a lot about how AI systems are aligned toward, say, fixing mistakes like this. Its my understanding that there are three state of arts right now. For simple things, prefiltering of queries external to "blackbox AI space",

On the one hand: Apple has released (at least) two new "major" consumer "apps" over the past year (Freeform and this). This gives me positive echos of "old Apple"; a company that took the software as seriously

TSMC manufactures the silicon for nearly all of the current generation high end silicon. The only exceptions I've been able to find are, naturally, Intel's CPU lineup (which has nothing to do with AI) (and, to be clear, Intel Arc

Yes you do. It trivially does. Search for "Burger King" and see how many results that generates which couldn't possibly be served locally (undownloaded Apps from the App Store, Maps, search recommendations, etc). They may not

If Siri can't give you the time without the internet, I think you need to update iOS. There are definitely two tiers of Siri queries. There are queries like "set the brightness to 10%" or "set a timer for 5 minutes"

They have every query their users enter into Spotlight. They have all the results it returns (who cares if they originated from Google, ok maybe they do, maybe not using it for anything is part of their deal with Google). They have your con

I'm not sure if the word "subvert" is right; the OS is still there, the App Store is still there, and nothing they've demonstrated will measurably impact revenue from these sources (the iOS App Store's largest sourc

Even within the N% that is more genuine coding and system reasoning; system reasoning is really hard, oftentimes requiring weird leaps of faith, and I also don't see a path for AI to be helpful with that. Some random recent thing: &q

For anyone looking to leave: FreeYourMusic is a cool tool to transfer saved albums and playlists. $15 one time fee, and for my library got about 90%+ accuracy matching songs from Spotify to Apple Music. Saved a boatload of time. Overall I t

That's interesting; I've heard the opposite from every VC I've talked to about it. Its possible that different firms do things differently, and the ones I've talked to are in the minority. > the "fund committed $

> I don't understand the incentive for a bank to buy them at this point If the natural incentive of the bank's assets isn't enough, its literally the job of the FDIC to add that incentive. That's what the FDIC does.

by 015a 4y ago
That's not remotely true, for a couple reasons. 1) FDIC insurance only applies in situations where the bank doesn't have the assets to make depositors whole. SVB has a ton of assets; most sources I've found asserting 100% dep

I think a more interesting argument is: Humans are 24-hour creatures (ok, maybe not precisely 24 hours, but close enough). That's how our internal clocks are wired. Its not nurture; its nature; and it would take generations living day-

Its an equally valid question to ask what would happen to a seatbelted dog at 75mph. The answer is probably pretty similar; they're made for human bodies, not canine.

I don't feel Tesla is a good guy. Landscapes like this aren't binary, and your insinuation is expanding the context of this discussion further than originally intended, then drawing false conclusions. In the specific issue of remo

Yeah; games to this day are still pretty bad at utilizing multiple cores. Any idiot can do the math; the i7 13700k has 16 cores, and an advertised max TDP of 250W. That's a ton of power; but if you're only really stressing 2 or 3
