It might make sense as a theoretical approximation of the value proposition. But you're going to piss people off if you try, so it's probably not a great sales technique.

There was nothing about the ethical question of training models on copyrighted content? Nothing about centralizing power even further in big tech companies? Nothing about AI flooding the world with mediocre content and wrong information? Th

It's also very valuable to have a shared frame of reference with colleagues so you can communicate more efficiently. Saying things like "this is like backpressure" instead of having to explain the entire concept is very valua

Scale and speed of adoption influencing the impact on the value of the source material. A person can only service a few projects a year and it takes day or weeks on ingest new knowledge. A trained network only needs to train once and faster

Do you prefer restoring from the original drive instead of a backup because it's faster?

The fact that someone cheated the system in the past is in no way proof that the same thing is happening now.

Well, they realized that 40 grams per hour was not enough and you can actually absorb more. Then they experimented with mixing various carbohydrates (eg. adding fructose) and found a better balance. They also found out that you have to trai

That seems like an unfair response. There are certainly still drugs in the peloton and there are a lot of teams trying to stretch the gray areas. But given the amount of testing and verification of those tests by reputable journalists it&#x

It probably has to do with the accelerator hardware they use for transcoding the source stream. If they want to support higher bitrates or resolutions, they have to invest in completely new hardware. That would also mean added complexity in

The strategy is to worm your product into companies and make people comfortable with (or depend on) your tools. When there is enough adoption, you slide in and claim a piece of the pie.

I personally don’t use WhatsApp because I enjoy it, it’s just the app with the critical mass in my family and friend group.

Who wants to do that? I assume you're talking about large language models? They are great at making word soup, but not great at diagnosis. There have been expert systems since the 90's that perform better on average than doctors w

Generally you would use the operating system's package manager to install both the headers and the library. On distributions like Debian the library would be in a package called `libsodium` and the headers in `libsodium-dev`. Once the

That's the cool thing about open source I guess. The target audience starts with the initial developer(s) who want to build it for their own reasons. Then others may find it and use it for their own purposes, even if it's just for

From the article and the wording it seems that the distribution of the music is the biggest issue in this case. I don't think the Internet Archive would be in trouble if they archived it offline and then published it after the copyrigh

I don't mind people not working. I get upset when those people half-ass their work and then attempt to get me to do their work for them. For example, I would rather build a feature than spending the same (or more) time fixing someone

A more useful thing to talk about could be tips and pitfalls of feature flags. - Minimize accessing databases or external services to check a feature flag because it adds up to response times and server load. - Always try to query the featu

What if they bought a mattress and found out they didn't like it after one night? A lot of stores let you return them if you don't like them within a number of days. That would mean they are in the market for another one. I'm

Theoretically maybe, then they would have to prove they did so without having knowledge about the infringed code in court. You can't make that claim for AI that was trained on the infringed code3.

There are solutions like Yivi[1] (previously IRMA) that allow you to have a wallet of attributes signed by federal or local government (eg. "user is over 13" or "user lives in Wisconsin"). That way you never have to shar

I do have a pet peeve related to this and some observations. Sometimes developers call their variable or method state_machine, that's akin to calling your variable variable. You should be descriptive in what you are modeling as a state

It's a natural fit for people with a logic background to validate their ideas computationally. That also meant that people in the 80's and 90's used it for AI research. For me personally it was a great way to be introduced to

That's the problem with bigger companies, usually there is a perfectly good explanation in the context of the company but we will never hear about it. Could be as simple as the person who moderated that forum being laid off.

Let the duplication live for a while. You may still make changes to the new code due to new insights and bugs. Make a note or an issue to revisit after a few weeks. Always refactor when a third or fourth identical case show up.

You have worked on a few projects that were behind a few major versions and needed considerable effort to be updated :)
