Bevy is almost the spiritual opposite of Unity in terms of its design goals. Hopefully it gets some more funding and attention, but if you enjoyed Unity and are looking for a replacement then Bevy just isn’t it - it would be like swapping M

In current generation language there is definitely a trade-off between language productivity (i.e. speed of writing) and features such as speed and memory-safety. So far we haven't been able to close this gap fully with current compile

I mean why is f# the goal, and could we write a better f# with the use of AI. As an example, why not write in f# and let an 'AI-compiler' optimise the code... The AI-compiler could then make sure all the code is type safe, add in

I've also wondered this - including if we might see a breed of 'higher level' languages (i.e. much higher level than Python) which can then be 'AI compiled' into highly efficient low level code. i.e. the advantages

Depends what you are trying to do with a computer. Natural language is a pretty brilliant way to interact with a computer if you want to learn a foreign language, but it’s probably not great if you are wanting to play a first person shooter

OP will have been exaggerating with 99.99%, but I suspect 90% of people don't have a PC with something equivalent to a 3080. And designing your software to a minimum-spec of a 3080 would be pretty wild.

Run what? Adobe's offering is cloud-only, and I don't think the hardware requirements are disclosed.

Depends if the limit on parameter count is a 'real' limit, or just a limit based on what current-technology models can effectively use. Back in the 'Google Daydream' days, Google might have found that they didn't ge

I'm unconvinced that local deployment will be the preferred way to run generative models anytime soon. They seem like pretty much the perfect fit for cloud - burst compute which would result in very low hardware utilisation if ran loca

Really good comparison! Imagine… “Rather than use words like ‘insider trading’ we should say ‘based on market research’”

"We won't need to reject a flight plan as the data we receive will always be perfect!" sounds like an approach to error handling that will lead to these sort of situations. The issue should have been caught in one of the high

We also need to bear in mind that SaaS vs On Prem also often implies 'subscription' licensing vs perpetual software licensing (one off + support payments). If a SaaS product is $100k per year (subscription) the equivalent perpetua

All the articles I read on this state that the issue was that a flight plan had ambiguous data. The real issue is that a single erroneous flight plan should not stop the full system.

Lockdown mode massively reduces the attack surface, which would make it far harder to find an exploit.

True, but suspect that they might have been worried about cannibalisation previously.

Not really, if you are a consultant or external business you account for your own hours - you set a budget and then hand in a timesheet either weekly or monthly, then send an invoice at the end of each month.

Entirely disagree with this post. I do a combination of fixed price and time and material work. Sometimes fixed price is a good model, sometimes time and material is a good model. Fixed price works when you know the scope, and are confident

Why sell MacBooks for $699 when you can sell them for $1200? Now they have probably hit the limit for the number of $1200 laptops they can sell, so probably want to broaden their market position (being careful not to cannibalise the number

> [GPT] always fails equations like 4897 x 394=? In some ways, I think we should treat GPT like a human without access to a calculator. If you ask a human what 4897 x 394 is, they will struggle.

Sure we should for most use cases, but I think your original post ignores where that approach doesn’t work. I’m not a fan of W3W, but it’s pitch is generally to fill in the gaps where addresses don’t work, not to replace addresses entirely.

I don't think those facts are incompatible. 1) You would need self driven cars to drive over 100 million miles to validate that, assuming that there have been no deaths from full 'self driving' (i.e. Cruise/Waymo rather

To clarify, I meant the pricing for Zoom is based on the tier with SSO in the comparison. Appreciate this isn’t the way I worded it, and the sentence should have ended with a “:” rather than a “.”

This does let Microsoft hammer home that Slack and Zoom are expensive, and also indicates that Microsoft's price is competitive .

Agree - although in the model described in the article there isn’t a leadership element so I struggle to see how this would work long term. It says any decision needs a 100% vote from all owners on a discord server.

Well they sound like they have picked a higher base wage than average (particularly for servers) and aren’t making a profit. Personally if it’s owner-run I would assume you would be better picking a lower base wage, then sharing profits (
