What an ignorant comment. What do you expect, that there's fighting everywhere? People looting at night and society near anarchy? We have two state actors with roughly equal capabilities. It's not US&Allies vs Iraq. Western uk

that's fair but the sound is still better than all those usual uprights I have played on. Even the cheapest, out of tone upright straight out the dumpster has sound vibrating through the structure of the piano but it sounds like shit.

If you work with something visual, interactive then this workflow is so super awkward that I never end up doing it. For data-driven workflow you have to analyse the data, note down your thoughts, analyse a bit more and then come to a conclu

I have always enjoyed strategy games the most and a few years back I briefly used a service like GeforceNow. Since input lag is not super important for those games, I enjoyed using it and didn't have a lot of problems. If I would start

I think it's that most, or nearly every code, is actually not critical and failure is ok. I would argue that code for every part of facebook is actually not critical. Of course it's bad if there's an error or the feed of inst

Well it's maybe naive on my side to assume it, but it was an honest question. We automate a lot of things that are from my point of view way more complex and driverless subways exist for quite some time. So I don't get why it&#x27

ah ok, I thought this is a new isolated line!

by LeanderK 4y ago
I don't get why those new lines could not be driverless, I don't see much technical difficulties. They don't have to be unattended, you could place a security-guy in every train at night. But I don't see how the drivers

I don't know if it's sarcasm or not. For one, many units are actually defined using relatable things like your example: "the mass of one cubic centimeter of water". Here, one always buys water in in 0.5 litre, 0.75 litre

Even more offtopic: I would be interested in how it's handled in general. So for long-running projects (10-15years)...do they redo outdated parts? Wait until the last minute and don't plan "obviously useless" parts in ad

The logo is too dominant and distracting for it to be beautiful imho. It also doesn't pair well with the typo for the keys.

I think those big models all had visual input and therefore understand what they're seeing. You don't really need this for game AIs, it could make those models drastically smaller.

yes, I would say it's probably possible now but not yet practical. It's really the forefront of AI research and only archivable with a team of top researchers and a lot of computing resources (you need to use a lot of self-play, s

> democracy vs autocracy Is this really true? Some democracies are under pressure (USA for example), but for example easter europe wasn't a democracy not so long ago. I don't really know what's going on in Africa. How many

I may be misunderstanding your comment, but as I understood it you are talking about industry failures academia can't do anything about. If industry is massively behind on outdated, closed environments and academia work's with dif

I think those systems are undergoing continuous change, so change is always possible. I also don't think that the area I lived in grew up in fact designed before the ubiquity of cars (I grew up suburban but not rural), although I curre

I very much welcome this legislation (and I use an iPhone). How would you approach this otherwise? The EU probably can't break up Google or Apple (how would this even look like?) and the walled gardens are clearly a market failure, inc

Maybe i could have phrased it differently, i'll try my best to explain it. Keep in mind that this is open research, it can change quickly with breakthroughs. What you mean is strictly "following" logic, by executing code or c

I think the article is overly sensationalist. But I think the gist is totally realistic. For example, there's a huge chunk of design work that's not super critical and often badly done. I can imagine a simple, AI-assited tool that

because Europe has a incredible quality of life? Where would you move? There are some attractive cities outside but they are not many imho. I don't want to drive a car, want to live urban and with a lot of alternative culture around me

Is Red Hat still following the playbook? The more companies are engaging in this sort of strategy, the less concentrated the control should be, right?

I don't use linux but I thought Wayland is old news. I remember the talk about switching to waylaid like 6 years ago. Is it still niche?

but it's not the same picture for physics of chemistry, where we get our fair share of nobel prizes. It's somehow different for math.

I always found it weird how it was dominated by the french, with very few germans in between (only 2!). What are they doing differently? It's not that math is unpopular here, a lot of students are studying mathematics and every univers
