So they are fixing this by letting go of the people who were best at the research side, and therefore will have no problem converting "nothing" into products anymore!

I still don't understand exactly which facts you think any of this would change and cause it to be criminal negligence. I will state a fairly blunt position: Unless literally nobody thought or tried at all here, i would give it a 0% c

The existence of alternatives would generally not be enough for criminal negligence. Making mistakes of reasoned judgement are basically never criminal negligence. In every state i'm aware of, it would require total disregard for safet

Generally, yes, sandboxing would be a defense, because criminal negligence (again, it's state specific, so this is a law-school-level generalization) requires "gross deviation from the standard of reasonable care". So a mis

I'm not sure why you don't believe it? It's literally true? I guess if you want to believe it, go study law? I'm not really sure what to say there. Negligence is not a crime, it's civil liability. Gross negligence

Some states have autonomous vehicle statutes and some don't. Let's assume the case none of them do, since it sounds like you are asking about "what would happen in the case this isn't specifically answered by a statute

Lawyer here: This part does not require a new law. Even though agents are not agents in the principal/agent legal sense (because agents have to be human), for the purposes of criminality, it does not matter. Agents do not act autonomou

Lawyer here. Not quite. Agents in the principal/agent sense have to be human. However, every court to have ever considered it have held the human/company driving the agent responsible under vicarious liability/negligence&#x2F

It's getting downvoted in part because it's pedantic and wrong. It is totally true that they don't think like humans, but this is mostly irrelevant. The token outputs will change as a result of this particular input, and will

This is true but fairly pedantic. It would be more accurate to say the word predictions the model makes based on the input text will likely be closer to the ones that were made from the training data where people felt like their job was on

+10000 I was literally told in one of the comments i made about how difficult a lot of the changes were, for very little practical gain: "the new API WILL require you to rethink your code the new API WILL be a bit harder to use for Rus

Yeah I have been playing with 3d printing nylon and pps versions because pure pe filament are harder to find. They also often have really really poor layer adhesion and crazy levels of warping. PPS is not that expensive if you know some of

I have a weird use case, but this is actually wildly useful to me. I use teflon (sometimes nylon, but mostly teflon) painter pyramids/holders/etc, because i spray finish stuff that is very good at adhering to lots of things, and a

This website often suggests totally bad ideas, like brittle epoxies for bonds they shouldn't be used for. The truth is nowadays you can just choose your favorite brand and they almost certainly have a correct, and good, adhesive select

Sure. If it supported commercial solvers for me it would definitely be more valuable. I do think it’s fairly crazy to pay for remote solving using public solvers - the case you give is uncommon enough that whoever has it would probably want

Everyone in this story sucks. As a manager, the people I hired were almost always smarter than me or better than me at various things. That's why i hired them. I did my best to make sure they were empowered to solve the problems the or

Not if i have to pay for it and use a different API? Remember, NEOS is both free, and pyomo already supports it natively without me changing anything - i can use both neos and local without any issue. Why would i move to something with a di

by DannyBee 3mo ago
NEOS will let you run this stuff on cplex/gurobi/etc (IE much faster than the backends behind quicopt), for free, is integrated with pyomo/etc, and has like an 8 hour time limit. Often, the difference on "harder" pr

the ancestry predicate at the beginning of the formal problem statement here is dominance, at least as applied to their rooted trees. Because it is a rooted tree, only DFS intervals are required to determine ancestry. You can detect whether

About 3x that, actually. Timing wise, I happened to leave after my old grants expired and before my new grants would be in my account. I was a VP of engineering when i left. Google pays VP's quite well. If there's a reason you w
