Honestly, I agree quite a bit. The US and other countries have the same dynamic that FAANG does with startups, we put up the money to have anything worthwhile come in-house, which kills competition. Please India/China/Europe, buil

A great way to circumvent this is to build a large headquarters in an undesirable location. "No American software engineers are applying for my job in <random midwest town where I will be the only software employeer>! I need H1bs

I don't mind competing with a single 25 year old in a market with tens of thousands of opportunities.

The pool of young kids that can challenge the technical ability of someone with 20 years more experience is small enough that I don't mind competing with them for employment.

I was just adding color to the statement that they didn't believe their family's objections were necessarily moral objections.

Yeah, I think people mistake country and geographic area. The US is the 300+ million people that build and apply systems and institutions within an area, not the area itself. Coming to the conclusion that people here are interchangeable wit

It also has the effect of making the job posting seem fake, or like a scam, because who in their right mind would believe META, who has their own, in-house operated, online job application portal, would require a job application to be maile

People forget that the popularity of being anti-war is relatively new, like maybe 100-150 years old. World War 1 popped off so quickly specifically because moral objections to war from the standpoint of "violence is wrong" were

Does that get them to the TAM they need to justify current valuations though? I'd guess not.

1) Chat GPT is nearly 3 years old, and LLMs were around before that. 2) Yes, they still have some time to fit the market better, but that doesn't change what they'll need to do to fit the market better.

Seems like a recent thing IMO. Social media has caused some people's perception of reality to get so far out of whack that they think being denied Ferrari and a beach house is an act of persecution, and they are willing to go to any le

idk if I'd consider overloading the assignment operator to call a function, then using it, actually an assignment in truth.

IMO, most of the terse syntax in Rust comes from the sugar they've added for error handling.

Electric motors are very energy efficient. I believe they are actually far more efficient on a per-joint movement basis, and the equivalence between us and them is largely due to inefficient locomotion. Where we excel is energy storage. Far

How do you know if you can trust then if they are human generated? Your trust the people. AI isn't going to jump and just generate docs, a person has to prompt it, and you should expect the person to proof read and correct it. If the p

A signal is something you use to discern something in lue of direct information. In the case of docs, just look at them and if they suck, or are good, it doesn't really matter where they came from. That being said, Ill take AI generate

Tests very often don't tell you the right way to use something, especially when you're talking about IO libraries. Examples themselves often don't even show the "correct" way, but rather just a way that will work in

This was the way all schools worked in my county in florida, at least from middle school on. Normal/Honors/AP split is what pretty much every highschool did at the time. You could even go to a local community college instead of HS

The difficulty is why it requires intelligence to achieve. It is easy to be mean, and easy to be kind to your own detriment. Being kind while still thriving yourself takes thought.

This is less a deficiency of the model, and more of a deficiency of the encoder IMO. You can consider the encoder part of the model, but I think the semantics of our conversation require differentiating between the two.

It makes sense when users ask for information not available in the tokenized values though. In the abstract, a tool that changes tokenization for certain context contents when a prompt references said contents is probably necessary to solve

Had this exact idea recently, applied to various software tooling. I think agents of all types are going to follow a similar path to self-driving cars: first 80% comes in a big boom, and the last 20% comes over a decade of training and simu

For larger companies, "You have to move to X place and work 1 day a week in-office, but also we just laid some people off and will give you no guarantee that you won't be laid off after moving" is a good example that's c
