The AI not being human doesn’t escape ethical consideration - OpenAI employees are culpable for what they build. This was academic research. Could just have easily been trade secrets and proprietary data.

This is worse than asking an intern to fix a shipping product…

Yes, I’d prefer that investors know that the new executive is not going to continue the same crap and same level of poor judgement. Want them to know the replacement is looking to do more than wear a golden parachute. Imagine if investors

We might even get to relive history the way things are going…

$2000 for a phone? In this economy? Feel like a $2000 computer in the 1980s made a lot more sense, even if damn expensive back then. Certainly would have lasted longer!

In my experience, hotels in other countries also take a copy of the passports of all guests. Also learned “know your customer” laws require US people to give passport + SSN to a foreign bank who then reports it back to the US. Given that

Don’t Lamport timestamps require all nodes to be known in advance? Powerful concept but impractical and far too unscalable to be used globally.

I expect soon each website will have its own browser, compiled as WASM which will be launched in order to render the JavaScript and HTML on the website.

I died of dysentery shortly after being born. Makes Oregon Trail seem easy…

Would be interesting to do a FFT of pixels in the sequence of images and see if anything is in there. Just because the brightness fluctuations aren’t noticeable doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

More like a company that had hundreds of millions of dollars and a couple decades should have fixed it by now. If only Podman could beat Docker in advertising…

I didn’t know that theory but makes sense. When I was little, I was surprised to find that using a Game Genie made a lot of Nintendo games instantly become boring.

I suspect first-sale doctrine doesn’t allow such. However, if content is “licensed” instead of “sold” …

What’s really hilarious are the companies that treat software like a hardware product. “We’ll design it, test it, release it, and never touch it again !”

Have always wondered, why can’t nested functions just be normal functions inside a namespace? It seems silly to expose a tiny helper to the entire compilation unit when it is only meant to be used inside one function…

Windows does similar normal monitors. Often just a color profile, sometimes more…

At least the title “founder engineer” on a job requisition provides a nice immediate red flag… No need to guess!

It’s also strange if one steps back a bit further… Think of the total cost of human development, education, etc. to make them “ready to be hired”. These efforts drive a host of side industries (teachers, daycare, medical services, etc.) AI

I’ve always wondered if some people can “draw on a whiteboard” in their mind. I certainly never could…

That’s exactly how it is for me. I can somewhat imagine a simple square or triangle but only more like feeling it in the dark without fully “seeing” it. Anything more complex, like a pretzel is out of the question, just disappears/ins

It’s kinda funny that your last paragraph is basically describing why sparse files, sparse matrices, etc. are used in other contexts. It really is absurd to ask programming questions to a model also trained about the lifecycle of a fruit fl

I hate the term “founder”. It grossly blurs the distinction between those who put in personal blood, sweat, tears, and money into starting a business versus those who make a few slides so they can use other people’s money to hire others to

I’ve been wondering about this. There are high school students competing in contests that cover parts of the (Math) theory behind AI. A lot of high school research programs are integrating AI with other things and complex mathematical mod

There always was speculation that the “WinIntel” monopoly intentionally did exactly this!

Exactly! Having 256MB RAM used to be quite luxurious back in the day…

I get the paradox for adding a few lanes… Imagine traffic not getting any better after adding 1000 lanes in a medium sized town… not just to one area but to every single damn road. Yet we’ve done this with RAM, CPU, and storage…
