In fairness, the military is full of engineers.

Understand the sentiment.. but I mean.. why put them in the military? That seems like, I don't know, maybe something that can go south in a lot of different ways.

by bilbo0s 1y ago
Everything you said is true. But regarding your last point, I mean, the military has always been used for political purposes.

Not normally. But if it makes you feel better, the third party is usually playing God.

Could also be that both are being untruthful. Lincoln let us know a long time ago, there are times when "both may be, but one must be". Personally, I think there may even be times when both parties are being truthful. ie - you

If anything, their premises could lead to a strong argument that the best course of action is a well-rounded Liberal Arts degree. This. The obvious answer in an AI world is that the domain expert becomes the valuable employee. If you don&

I mean, hindsight is 20/20, but that's probably why it's a bad idea to give a gaggle-load of inexperienced tech sisses/bros the ability to do stuff like this. Thinking back on it, a disaster should have been the expected

Not sure Australia-New Zealand make it? In fact, I'm fairly certain they would get hit. Just as certain as I am that North Korea would get hit. I mean, just consider it from our (US) perspective. Any Russian naval assets that are harbo

It's kind of like WWI. Where some minor player commits some act and the entire Western-Russo world spirals out into war. Only this time we use nuclear weapons instead of trenches and cannons. Would be an interesting case study for Braz

I'm thinking Spotify would shout even louder indignations if smaller App Store developers don't even have to pay the $100. But look, everyone is not gonna be happy with whatever structure Apple or the courts come up with. The cour

I’d just assume that any chat or api call you do to any cloud based ai in th US will be discoverable from here on out. If that’s too big a risk it really is time to consider locally hosted LLMs.

No. It’s a legal court order. This, however, is horrible for AI regardless of whether or not you can sue.

It's probably all of it. I mean professional influence campaigns exist. Especially on social media. And HN also has its own required dynamics with respect to reaching the front page.

That's why insurance is so profitable. Because AmFam does both ! AmFam, State Farm, et al. suing AMZN for these claims nationally literally makes AmFam money over time. While costing AMZN money. That's what will move AMZN to eith

This. I think people don't really understand the requirements you need to meet to get and maintain FDA clearance. I think even under the current administration, you still could have an obligation to do that testing.

Which is why you never join prime. And if you think damages are less than 10k from some kid getting hit in the head by a drone crashing through his/her window, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. In the US, healthcare alone

by bilbo0s 1y ago
What will be legal is to simply sue the owner of the drone for breaking your window when your neighbor shot it down. Let the owner and the neighbor sort it out if the owner can prove the neighbor shot it down. But until that proof is forthc

Well, essentially you have the language used in the class match the subject being taught. Python gets language difficulty out of the way of learning a given algorithm. Bonus points for exacerbating the time issue when trying to introduce Bi

I think that's what the professor meant when s/he said that schools are "dumbing down" curricula. The amount of Python being taught is a bit concerning even from the perspective of personal economics. If I was paying all

But you do that in OGL in any case. Most software dealing with that large an asset base does so using the old fashioned shared context style threading. It’s all gonna come down to how fast is your IO and how fast is your memory. 6 secs to l

by bilbo0s 1y ago
It isn’t.
412.
by bilbo0s 1y ago
In that case, I’d seriously question the 6 sec vulkan startup time. Since the bottlenecks would be IO speed and memory availability, not processor speed. Certainly not GPU speed. Assuming assets with, say, 8k textures and millions of verts

Um.. Because 50% maximum. How would that work when you want a 145% tariff?

by bilbo0s 1y ago
it does cap it at 50% Pretty sure you're answering your own question.

If you're gonna give AI a decade of improvements, then I'll go ahead and bet on a whole lot of developers being replaced. Not just some developers being replaced. I think you hit on something with finance as well. Give Microsoft

-API documentation may have been poorly written. -Even with good documentation, the LLM may generate incorrect code to interact with API. (If you fix the generated code and just have the LLM call that code to interact with the API, then you

Just, throwing this out there, but it seems a distinct possibility that this Administration doesn't hold the same regard towards "Rule of Law" as did previous Administrations. I'm not altogether certain I'd rely on

Not a single alum I've talked to is happy about what Trump is doing. That said, it's not only the Harvard issue that is giving everyone pause, it's the direction of the Administration in general. In fact, for a lot of them, H

Doesn't matter anyway. Pretty much a guarantee that Harvard will choose to stay the course. This is the quintessential organization that thinks along the lines of, "100 years from now Harvard will still be Harvard. And Trump will

So true. It's so clear to me now that it was foolish to go after the government for what was, at root, a problem emanating from private industry practices. That was unimaginably dumb. It's clear the issue was obviously the private
