Who has ever believed those claims? There's a common saying "garbage in, garbage out" about what happens with all those fancy models if the data quality is not high. That's really independent from dataset-size. There&#x2

Again and again I am astonished that people without ethics exist, that they are confident in what they are doing and that they appear to be completely unable to reflect upon their actions. They just don't care and appear to be proud of

This is not what I think the comment was about. Of course, with the increasing complexity of society the complexity of its rules can increase as well. The idea that equal representation through equal knowledge/access to knowledge is th

What a trip back in time. I also individualised my desktop! Thinking about my current desktop...I never use my desktop anymore. Junk accumulated there, I don't need to put files there. I think it makes it strictly worse because of the

Even 4x as much is still way closer than what I've thought. This is not commercialised on a mass scale yet, but batteries are and have been for ages. Billions and billions of dollars got invested into cheaper, better and faster. Even 4

I can't imagine this is more mature then lithium ion batteries, or traditional batteries in general. They are everywhere in my apartment but afaik flow batteries are not used yet.

> They remain costly, though, with a capital cost of around US $800 per kilowatt-hour, more than twice that of lithium-ion batteries. I was surprised by this! Since this is not commercialised on a broad scale, I would have thought that t

(I know nothing about batteries or chemistry) I think this research only focuses on power generation, the device where you combine the liquids to get energy. Changing the energy density means changing the type of liquid, I assume, which thi

The bartenders I know are very social, confident and, that's maybe just coincidence, good locking. They are easy to talk to and know how to command a room, even if it's full of drunk people. If we compare stereotypes, they would t

I would guess that people date mostly "inside" their social bubble (or with a similar social prestige). A broke bartender probably did not go to university etc. and therefore the background is different to the accomplished women w

I was nearly laughing out reading this comment. It's so materialistic and conservative. I bet if it was the other way around you wouldn't care since the women just needs to find itself the right man who can support her! > Being

I think it's hard to get those basics in an undergrad program. CS often has the problem that the math basics are not teached as rigorously as it should (I think calculus I/II and linear algebra I/II should be exactly the same

I think the point is that knowing this stuff makes it easier to write a paper because you are not as easily out of breath. It's not guaranteeing you a good paper and phd, that's your part. Maybe you too could be a successful phd-s

I love those ChatGPT projects! Of course it's silly and nobody is really replacing somebody with a program that confidently get half it's answers wrong. But it's fun to just naively let ChatGPT solve the problem. But I wonder

to be fair, we do not know how close it's to "general intelligence". Could be lightyears away, or could be surprisingly close. We just know that ChatGPT is not general intelligence, but there's also no agreed upon defini

by LeanderK 4y ago
no it's not. It's just a neural network. Although it's impressive nobody is seriously calling it "general intelligence".

Iteresting mix of manual and automated. Some things look like they haven't changed at all the last 50-100 years and others are highly automated. I always thought that automation is not a continuous process because you can't easily

I have an really old macbook pro (mid 2014) with 8 gigs of ram. I am regularly running out of ram, I think it should be independent of processing power, right? Or is there some other way it feels snappier? Maybe the SSD got so fast it can b

But this is mainly an economic argument. And the comment was (in my point of view) about the ethics. High wages (or any income at all) can lure people into all sorts of situations. It is those that have that power to act responsible.

One thing I have always wondered about USB-C. Why is the OS not communicating more information about your cable? As I understood it, the type of cable is visible to the OS, so why does it not help to troubleshoot the problem?

I wonder whether those views here are always a bit too software-biased. At least for germany, we do not have a competitive advantage in software (which I have to accept) but in other things. I can't fail to notice that quite a few impo

This is not a law of nature, many unions just do their job. Many companies also treat their workers unfairly, so there's that. Workers need a way to organise. What's worse, a company churning through employee after employee or a c

yeah, the next step is not getting everything perfect (which, btw, is also quite impossible), but getting it to know it's capabilities. It would unlock quite interesting interactions and would make it way more useful. Imagine being abl
