Why is it that his "admirably altruistic life" never seems to conflict with what Microsoft's goals are, if the line is that he's "changed since he started Microsoft". If that were the case, wouldn't it mak

We're commenting on an article from the gates that essentially gives a plan for how to produce more Microsoft workers. What does a "high paying career" have to do with "the future our grandchildren deserve" unless t

It also looks like conflating "success" with "high-paying career". Most people would probably consider a high paying career success, but the idea that we're not even questioning that assumption when talking about ch

Ok, but where does the actual money come from? If I bought 10k of ethereum at one point in time and sold if for 100k, I put 10k into a pot which I took 100k out of. Basic math tells me there won't be a "rising tide" for the b

Well yea, but this is an "opposing viewpoints that makes you think" in the same way asking an 8 year old their opinion on geopolitics is "an opposing viewpoints that makes you think". I think your attitude around the wor

As we know, music created by artists who identify as "black" has never had racial slurs against that same group included. "Finding something offensive" is not mutually exclusive with "doing that thing yourself"

I see it quite opposite. "We are not attempting to assign levels of harm to the terms on this site" means literally nothing but "we shouldn't be held accountable for intermingling actual racial slurs with misinterpreted

"The admin never knows the user's password" is a pretty simple security step for any setup. What way would someone want to use a web service where the admin knowing their password is a requirement?

Except that the lack of anonymity in payments is one of the main features of blockchains. Which is it? Is digital cash a public ledger or an anonymous payment system?

All crypto exchanges are banks, and shouldn't be called exchanges Exchanges should be required to hold 100% reserves in the deposit currencies of their users if they want to be called exchanges, but that would require regulations to be

No, it's not like doxxing. Doxxing is when you find someone private details and publish them publicly. This account took public information from flight tracking information and published it publicly. That's why it's not the s

The algorithm doesn't have any "general framework skills" though because it's an algorithm, not a person. It can generate something that looks like what a person would have wrote based on its compressed probabilities, bu

AFAIK the only thing jsdoc "can't do" that typescript can is "generic types", which is just syntactic sugar for having a base type that all others inherit from.

So if "basic requirements" in this case are "on first glance like a face good enough to fool a human", I don't see how you could have a "best" criteria that's significantly different without accountin

"good" for gpt was expressed in the way they chose the dataset to include. Just because generative text models in the past(like ELIZA) were bad doesn't mean that the algorithms we have now are much more than better versions o

If no such "magic" exists then why are we content to say that the Turing test is a good test of its existence? This is how I see it: 1. We built a test that we hoped would tell us whether or not an "artificial intelligence&qu

Yea it's exciting that goalposts are being moved, but I think it's fine call it "just x" when the collective understanding of it outpaces the actual technology. Its a big accomplishment to move these goalposts, but it&#x

Chatgpt isn't a person though, it didn't fix anything. You gave it a prompt, it gave a result that was close. You add a line to the prompt and it gives you something closer to what you were looking for. It looks more like refining

I think you're putting the cart before the horse with the consumer-vendor relationship. Consumers don't want vendors to police content, vendors want to be a hub of content and policing content is the only way they can appease the

If a probabilistic process is able to 'pass a Turing test', the only thing that really says is that the Turing test wasn't accomplishing the stated goal so we need to come up with a better test. Sidenote, but the idea that it

One of the parts of building these generative models is building a classifier for how "good" their output is, otherwise the algorithm has no way to compare potential outputs in a generation. That's one of the issues with thes

I think their point is that it's easier because you don't need to do the "leave without the operator noticing" that you need to for physical items. Once you have access to those 4096 bits you don't have to escape wi

You could implement something similar by splitting the make targets in the GitHub action before they get passed to make so each worker is assigned their own target, then have a make target that executes all the targets for local multithread

Probably more OK then they are with making their life uncomfortable to look for another job with similar benefits. It's not just a moral decision in a void.
