Taking this a step further: so in the theoretical future we reach a point where a model can modify its own weights in real time. Now it's no longer stateless - but still, when it stops running, it's done until it's prompted t

AI-generated article starts with the premise that personal sites are making a comeback, but doesn't support it; and overall doesn't say anything beyond they never left, and the tech is all the same. The styling may be intended to

Personally I have no problem with ads if they're based on the content. But your post inadvertantly sums the problem: tracking and ads have become inseparable. If you talk about removing tracking, people come out of the woodwork and s

Contractual obligations carry teeth. Scraping the internet is relatively risk-free.

You should probably look closer at unemployment numbers in IT vs other spaces. Gains elsewhere are making up for IT losses, but it's a safe bet the people losing their tech jobs aren't career shifting into healthcare and hospital

GP's point was not that manufacturers must use github - that was an arbitrary "for instance". They saying if the mfg is not going to open source their software, then they should be required to document it.

That all makes sense - I'm not involved enough in local politics so I can't comment knowledgebly. But that doesn't mean the people trying to prevent change have (only) invalid reasons. Voting is critical, but it still lags be

Since you're using it for Netflix, etc I assume it has unrestricted Internet access. With that and microphone access, you're giving tacit permission to capture and upload basically whatever it wants, to whoever it wants. That se

You'd think if that was all they recorded for, they would be saying it very loudly to end the speculation that weasel-wording leads to.

Well. I sure am relieved.

Seems to me public review is a failsafe - an acknowledgement that laws and regs can't always keep up with real life harms.

"The brands and publishers’ point is the stronger half, and it deserves engaging with. " Just one example. It's odd to me that people are willing to put their own byline on obvious slop.

With that many accidents, I'd assume bankruptcy if she didn't. re: 2) yes that was the point. She'd have to be paying multiple thousands in an assigned-risk pool policy with that record of at-faults.

Logs are great. Interactive debugging is great. Both of these can also help build an understanding of the code and systems involved. But they're just debugging tools, and they should rarely be /required/ to find a bug. I am

I'm actually not complaining. I coach them through it, but the primary help I give is showing them how to walk through the code, and break the dependency on logs/repro scenarios.[1] In addition, if you find the issue in the code -

Your statement intrigues me, for I have always found it impossible. I dabbled in short-hand some years ago, and still couldn't keep up. I type very quickly and still can't always keep up. How does this work, especially the "
