Agreed, mostly, as Id like to point out that the iOS software is abandoned/shut down at approximately the same cadence as new consoles are launched. Rare’s the still-available app that was last updated pre-iOS 10…let alone iOS 5 or pr

Punishing “poor slobs” is the cornerstone of deterrence for most crimes, why doesn’t it apply here as well?

This is interesting. I went off and searched for paragraph vector code and indeed find doc2vec stuff, including tutorials referring to the paper such as https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/auto_examples/howtos/run

“Simply”? It would be quite a project to do that at sufficient scale undetected, no?

I’m not sure the scientific method itself can withstand this sort of scrutiny. After all, it’s just making guesses about what will happen and then seeing what happens!

I think a strong argument can be made in the other way. I went running the other day and had a long conversation with ChatGPT. That sort of experience is absolutely pushing boundaries...but I can see that they aren't the boundaries tha

An “innovation” team is often useful…usually it’s called research or labs or skunkworks or incubator. It’s still terrifically difficult for a large company to disrupt itself — and the analogy may hold for “responsibility”. But there is a co

Not sure if your meme-quippery works. Non-drunk driving kills people too, and also helps people get to work on time.

I think the title is another sensible variation of tech leads as workflow-unblockers, corner-uncutters and process-robustifiers. For all of these functions, however, you still need good judgment. I do wonder what exactly this particular cho

There are all sorts. You do have to be specific about what you mean by “bias” though. https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08193 and https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.09301 and https://arxiv.org/a

I worry this whole comment chain is celebrating a coping mechanism of troglodytic engineering, that the ideal is to shape artisanal code-crystals undisturbed in a cave. We all wish there was a simple meritocracy of crystal-fashioning, with

We were always in this regime. In general, it has been far more effective to take a proven model and fine-tune it. It was true five years ago taking a convnet out of a model zoo to fine tune and it’s true now. If you can achieve the moonsho

Many? In 92? I don’t think so. AitD was the first in my (admittedly non-comprehensive) experience. 92 was full of sprite-based pixel art adventures, to be sure. Relentless/Twinsens was 94. RE and FF7 were years after that
