It's serverless only in that there's a whole different organization at Meta handling the (monolith) hosting on actual hardware. By that definition, you could argue Amazon's detail page is "serverless".

There is no industry standard for DAUs or MAUs. Take it all with a hefty grain of salt.

Given the looming threat of sudden job loss at Meta for the past few years now, I'm not surprised. Fear can motivate, if temporarily.

Please share; I'm super interested in ways I can apply these concepts to a related work, and I have already heard from at least individual whom believes MIP explainability is 'impossible'.

I actually did. They were instead talking about the implications of GPDR, how they are switching to secure multiparty computation to try and side step restrictions, the looming threat of other data restrictions coming onto the scene soon in

Yeah, their stock is WAY over inflated. I know their data wells are drying up fast. The long bets aren't working out. The AI stuff is neat, and certainly disruptive, but it isn't a paying bet. The writing is on the wall, and his &

Lack of official standards, lack of certifications (not everywhere thankfully), and the relative youth of software as a profession all lead to a bit of a "will wild west" industry. I don't fault the developers themselves mind

"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do laundry and dishes." Meme as it may be, the sentiment isn't wrong. Instead of The Jetsons, we seem

To your credit, this does indeed work, but I won't retract my point. It's super-kludgy to go through everything like this, and I definitely can't leave it on all the time. I'm spoiled by the innate tab, shift-tab options

This issue was with 'Add'. My Mini is still hampered by this flaw.

This is one of the things that pisses me off about MacOS. Every other majot OS out there at least offers a good failsafe keyboard navigation built in to each UI component. In a pinch, the keyboard is your friend, at least until your pointin

I will piggy-back on this and ask similarly for how to get gud at proofs. My math is OK, by my ability to perform proofs is barely passable. I don't know what I did wrong on college in the related courses, but I would love to rectify i

Scale is really where things start. Small communities can be taken care of, and frankly they tend to be more fun. Big ones go off the rails quick as more things have to be automated and delegated.

The model is. How it is packaged is a different matter entirely. There is a good reason we saw a shift towards the safetensors format. https://arjancodes.com/blog/python-pickle-module-security-ri...

Ah yes, the real paperclip doomsday scenario. As was foretold.

What really gets me sometimes is when the dream comes with a 'historical context' that serves as a false memory. For example, dreaming I'm on a ship, and I 'remember' that I've been on it for months.

If you can afford it, and that's your passion, great. But (at least in the states) you are instead a student with a doctorate degree now in play and saddled with a lot of student debt (150k average), I'm not sure it makes sense. T

It worked for Minecraft. It was rough at first, and needed plenty of tuning, but the terrain and environments it's capable of certainly have a wide audience. But as far as pure, unbridled generation goes, yeah; I'm sure there will

Define "figure out" and "looking" for a LLM, a bundle of pseudo-nerual pathways driven by parameters we number in the billions for sufficiently large models.

Oof. This article misses some important details. Training is not a "one time cost". Training gets you a model that will likely need to be updated (or at least fine-tuned) on newer data. And before GPT4, there was a series of prior

Smells like desperation. Microsoft has been failing on the gaming front, trying to make their buggy "current gen" OS relevant by force, and is losing ground to other online competitors (i.e. Google docs). Azure is still growing, a

Have you looked at their numbers on and before 2022? They very much over-hired a crazy amount. Zuckerberg admitted as such through his statements on "over investing". https://about.fb.com/news/2022/11&#x2

Slashdot was the Hacker News of its day twenty years ago. Imperfect, sure, but a good source of tech news, discourse, and insight. The moderation was community driven and a privilege to participate in. It's also a sad shell of its form
