Is that a problem with income inequality, or a problem with political campaign financing rules/influence in a system which has wealthy people? Personally I think lower inequality in our society would be a good thing - but also with pol

I've been following the progress of AI code generation and I have to say, the results are impressive. There are still some limitations to these models, such as reproducing poor quality training data and difficulty maintaining focus thr

Different people might think diffrent, but when solving complex problems I do think I have seperate "think about / gather the facts" and "formulate the solution" phases. I don't think about the totality of fact

Companies do this sort of stuff all the time. Loads of companies sell merch, and even very brand-sensitive companies will sell old equipment for fans/nostalgia (see: Disneyland selling old animatronics and ride vehicles). They aren&#x2

None of the auctions are open for bidding - you are just looking at the start price.

Not sure - although I would imagine that it would effectively double the storage and bandwidth/data requriement for Apple Music in general if they had to send two files with equal bitrate.

It's also a different architectural model - i.e. why don't we also have the options of privately hosted versions of Google Docs? Licencing might be one reason, but deployment complexity is probably the bigger reason.

The difference is that Outlook, AD & Sharepoint were all designed to be deployed on-premises as an option from the start. Most of 365 appears to be designed and architected to be a multi-tenanted SaaS solution, so I suspect it's no

I think their point is the definition of "processing" would also likely cover collaboration (i.e. you could stop AI training etc but you still wouldn't be compliant)

Lol, well that story is significantly different to a manhunt because someone sneezed in a lift. It’s the story of someone who was sick and legally ordered to quarantine, breaking that quarantine which authorities then wanted to track down.

Yep :) Big performance related bonuses sound great until you realise it also means you are heavily performance managed and most of your livelihood depends on your pipeline and actually closing sales. You are constantly looking off a cliff.

That's ok, the chances of several intentional saboteurs on a single image sample are presumably pretty low. i.e. even if the saboteur rate was as high as 10%, and I only showed images three times, only 10% * 10% * 10% = 0.1% of data wo
