We can't really decide what grant agencies should want, especially since their goals are often national or even more decentralized, and thus 'siloed' - it seems quite plausible that a grant agency (or tenure board) really has

For human-related endeavors, motivation of the stakeholders is the key part that determines whether something is realistic or not. All kinds of technical difficulties can be fixed with effort and talent of a few people, but if something req

GPL should apply to anyone legally being given a copy, as the giver may be required to sublicence it under the GPL in order to be permitted to distribute that copy. If you simply 'find' a copy, GPL doesn't necessarily apply.

In general, no, if the employee is simply working on the code as part of the company, that does not count as distributing the code to the employee (unless the company explicitly did so). See the GNU FAQ on this - https://www.gnu.

The way I see it, it looks like iText is simply lying on their page about at least some of the restrictions of AGPL.

The only thing that can stop people from being debunked for various bullshit reasons is a legal mandate, explicitly establishing a right to a basic bank account such as e.g. EU payment services legislation does. Even convicted fraudsters sh

Hardening clay is relatively simple (just as any other pottery) but optional - you can choose to keep the clay unbaked if you want to reuse it (it would dry out but can be made wet again), but you can also make them permanent.

I'd rather argue that MQ2 should be implemented as a standard process that is explicitly listed as a job duty of some position with appropriate documentation and possibly training, and MQ1/MQ3 are those tasks which can be simply d

I think that there are people who are capable of working mostly independently when simply given goals and people who are not (yet?) and should be given clear instructions on what to do and how to do it - and IMHO the key part is to accept t

I think there really aren't very many job positions that try to hire candidates who have just started working with ML/AI for a lower pay, everyone wants 'all or nothing', exclusively trying to hire people who already did

Despite paying it a lot of lip service, in practice companies demonstrate that they don't really care about security that much, so I don't think that resistance to prompt injection is the main blocker for any products right now;

There are two main issues in my mind. First is that the straightforward way to implement any changes to the data structure requires full retraining of the model from scratch, which is very expensive for the large models (I recall reading th

An interesting fundamental limitation of transformer LLMs is that their architecture doesn't allow for the option for the model to choose to think a bit more or to choose to review their answer, as the quantity and structure computatio

That's certainly a driver for much of the pathology, however, I don't really see how that can be changed - I haven't seen any good proposals for what could reasonably replace the current bibliographic metrics for the various

Having medical bills you can't pay does sometimes motivate people to do desperate things that are not in the interests of their employer. There are exaggerated tropes in Hollywood like Breaking Bad, however, all kinds of real risks do

Credit card really isn't a payment mechanism but rather an invoicing mechanism. The number on your card is not a password to authorize payments - it is the account number to which merchants can send an invoice, but there's effecti

It still is a quite useful filter, as without it most fields would be even more overwhelmed. As a reviewer, have you seen what garbage gets submitted sometimes? There are incentives to attempt to get garbage published, so throwing out a sig
