You also might see different immune preparations, even. Immune cells in different locations make different types of antibodies and which type of antibody recognizes the antigen in the vaccine partly determines which type of resistant you b

Really sorry to hear about what happened to you Would recommend to everyone / have bought as a gift a pair of ear plugs that fit onto your key chain. They are like $10 and are honestly the most useful thing I carry on that ring aside

It isn’t particularly clear what technical requirements you were working against, but let me give it a shot: A lot of groups start using Kafka because they have high-throughput event streams they want to aggregate over, and then you just us

Aside, but 1,000 IQ is a funny number to me. I’m pretty sure that would be 60 standard deviations from a median human, which has a probability density on the order of 10^-700. Would be hard to come up with enough questions to give reasona

I had an ex who was deeply into roughly this idea, but for beauty products. There’re many micro-domains where people spend a lot of time trying to figure out where things come from, what their environmental impact is, the production proces

My first recollection of this sentiment pertained to the New York Times, for what it’s worth.

This comment confuses me a bit, as AI improving via feedback on its generations introduces no new concerns. Which new intellectual property concerns are introduced via reinforcement learning? An aside, but people use and pay for Copilot, it

I think some of your points are myopic — the same thing was said for language models, but RLHF and RLAF [0] clearly show a trajectory of the models getting better at doing this self-improvement process with less “humans are special”ness. A

Copilot also makes it easier to use open source framework code. Being able to ask a model for help writing Spark, SQLAlchemy, Tokio, whatever, actually increases the usability of free code vs proprietary code.

I don’t understand your point — I’ve been rehearsing that response to the normal and all-consuming test question “Are you human?” since Wednesday.

The core caveat being the yield of “improved … prediction” in the future tense, I assume? Given that improved structures has sped up drug discovery, I can see where the mistake is made (X has improved Y, therefore X will improve Y)

“Trending on Artstation” is a genre curated just like Bauhaus or Romanticism. Just the wider populace votes instead of old noble families and wealthy bankers. I don’t see the moral significance of the former genres versus the latter

If I build and give away bird houses, that could still be a hobby. I don’t follow how lack of ownership means it can’t be a hobby.

The main idea is that instead of a session cookie you are usually exchanging signed information in this scheme. Your app server or an intermediate proxy validates that the signing was authentic, and then receives some information (Often ca

Is this just an elaborate way to trigger someone else’s AWS code using RBAC instead of an API token? Seems like the “normal” way I’d go about this would be someone sets up a server, I ping it with token auth that’s been provided, thing happ

The book is really quite good. The Checklist Manifesto might also be of interest. The parts of strategy (for some definition of strategy) that are missing from tactics are (1) Diagnosing problems (2) Setting policy. Things like “How do we

I feel like this post concludes by validating the counterpoints about what it says isn't strategy. Each of these things show self reflection. If self-reflection is what makes for good strategy, then these are certainly trying to take

I agree with your position that people will notice and that some attributions will be affected. It seems like we’ve still given cake to the glutton, though, just without a cherry on top.

I’m not sure how true this is, many types of data have diminishing returns after a few months. I’d be surprised if they lost money compared to not using these methods —- they’ve just lost the tail of incremental value.

Apple doesn’t force me to hide my email, it is my choice to click hide vs not. Apple is just enabling the consumer choice — a choice that a lot of consumers do take (As you noted). There are good parts about the way Apple operates, they ex
