I think auto-antonyms should be avoided in an encyclopedia. (And also in scientific publications, text books, and laws.)

OK, but does that mean the phrase should be used as such in an encyclopedia? For instance, the word "biweekly" now means both "once every two weeks" and "twice per week". I don't mind usage of that word fo

After your first sentence, I thought you were going to argue the opposite. This person's arguments seem to hold water. Aren't the people that argue with him and want to revert his edits a (very strange) activist superminority? May

The study was done on 10 patients (and their healthy spouses), which doesn't seem like a lot to make such grand claims.

I agree with your characterization of Ruby as a Self/Smalltalk category language. (Or, a language with an ALGOL-style syntax and a Smalltalk-style OO system.) > After the "Self" category, Ruby would fit better under the &q

And a third group of people, whose jobs interact with the real world, e.g. farmers, plumbers, bakers, hairdressers, taxi drivers, nurses... They can't be replaced by a LLM.

The LLaMA paper [1] (Meta's model) contains details about what they trained it on. This includes all of Wikipedia, a huge part of the internet (3.3 TB + 783 GB), a huge set of books (85 GB). My guess is basically all high-quality Engli

This is the approach that Windows Phone pushed. When they realized they were late to the party, pushing "standardized" PWAs made most sense. They even had quite a lot of tools to make it easy to encapsulate a normal website in a P

I think it's more about personal data being used for training. I may use Google to look up if that slight itch I feel is a symptom of cancer (I'm exaggerating), and I store mails with personal details, my calendar, and messages on

Doesn't that show exactly that this problem is not related to LLMs? If an API allows millions of transactions at the same time, then the problem is not an LLM abusing it but anyone abusing it. And the fix is not to disallow LLMs, but t

Can you provide a source for that last paragraph (the cars uploading GPS traces and cops asking for logs)? I'm interested in knowing more, e.g. which country this happens in, are there any checks and balances, is this constitutional?

They never wanted to ban memes. In fact, the so-called "meme ban" and accompanying "link tax" has already been approved in 2019, and implemented in several countries, including Germany. By now it must be clear that this

Germany and the rest of the EU have been "at the brink of a recession" for well over a year. (Remember the gas price increases started in October-November 2021, before the war.) Compared to a year ago, a recession seems almost unl

Indeed. When Hamlet ponders "to be or not be", is he contemplating death and suicide? You could answer this question with "yes". (Wikipedia even says so.) But you could also say: obviously not, Hamlet is not a real perso

Very useful if you have multiple Outlook accounts (e.g. school, work, personal), because outlook.com doesn't allow you to switch between accounts without logging out and back in.
