For someone correctly claiming we don't know how the brain works, you seem to have a remarkable trust in the brain-gut axis pop sci articles. It's always good to remember that much of the 'established' data in neuroscie

AI is actually now shaping up to replace these jobs much more simply than blue collar work. So, yes absolutely, administrative work now can finally be replaced, and we can free up all the tormented souls in these managerial positions to do

This is pretty much the best marketing for IPFS. The availability and number of backups of any price of data is directly correlated with the number of people that use it. For example, if LLM NN model weights are distributed with IPFS instea

Doesn't the state just use commercial sources for their data anyway? Corporations all have far more resources and power, so it's easier to just ask for it.

This is also the case if taught by any educator who happens to trust the source they looked up as well. The internet, text books, and even scientific articles can all be factually incorrect. GNNs (for which LLMs are a subclass of) have a p

You should really think about making statements like "AI will probably never do X well". Many formal linguists made very strong statements about the impossibility of (__insert feature here__, such as pragmatic implicature) to be

Why? I haven't ever used the iOS store, but having a git repo should be far better as an option so you can verify that it is made properly, and not infected with a little extra tracking and such whenever it's added to the iOS sto

So if I read this right, if you're not a big company (perhaps just a standard dev with maybe a tiny cluster of computers or just one beefy one), you just make a Docker container with pyspark and put your scripts in there, and everyone

The US hasn't really improved infrastructure since the 90s though. So yeah, it's slow, but it's also still that slow for many people.

It's really hard for me to imagine that an app that markets "AI for your terminal" is going to be " more secure and private " than some standard Unix tool. Perhaps some very specific example of a security featur

It's important to frame this correctly. The article is a bit misguided (it doesn't matter which university publishes an article) because there are so many ways in which a model can be altered, even excluding retraining weights. A

Steel can often contain small but considerable amounts of heavy metals like lead.

Polyethylene doesn't seem that new or untested, and it's unlikely for it to contain rings, so it doesn't seem so bad. Perhaps the catalyst used that can't be pulled out after. Last time I checked I think it was a homog

Typically Nature or high impact journals are specifically more likely to publish irreproducible studies. It's very similar to the well established fact that students with good grades are the most likely to cheat. If you want to look

I am a bit surprised about this as well, since my perspective on a Rust comparison to C++, one of the more noticable issues is the extra verbosity rather than compile time. You're right about switching to interpreted languages for this

This is some really good advice here. It's always a good idea to throw out all candidates that can't immediately recall what the first theoretical result of the rest mass of a Higgs boson was in the first paper describing was. Ba

I'm fairly certain we ship far more bugs now than we ever did. Before we had the ability to just add a patch and let the user download it, the end result needed to be very solid, because once that disk was purchased and taken home, i

This little thread helps solidify my opinions towards using only the few in the small section they point out, being Qdrant, chroma, or weaviate. The fact that someone who works at pinecone didn't take the time to read an article in th

It was my understanding that txtai is not a vector database, but rather it uses databases. It pulls together a large set of tools that most people use together in a very nice way, such that the API is more consistent for researchers to s

You mean qemu. Utm is qemu, but they just removed the open source part. So it's just definitely worse.

by chaxor 3y ago
Utm is just qemu, and qemu is actually open source. Utm hides an enormous amount of what they do (just saying not open source again in a different way), and that's definitely not what you want in a base system. So it would likely be mu

It's mostly navy run right now is my understanding, and used by journalists, so I don't see how it's that much of a downgrade.

You still have to fill it up by touching and breathing in the fumes while pumping it into the tank, so not exactly, but you're right that it does affect others as well.

I always assumed businesses such as Cloudfare or Google would have a good reason to be the main IPFS or tor node hosts, since that can help improve the backbone infrastructure for this side of of the internet, and can also help catch bad ac

I love the smell of doing a good wipe on my hardware by sticking all of it in the microwave. The smell of burnt silicon in the morning is what keeps me waking up everyday.

General Aviation still uses lead in their gas, despite it being shown several times in enormous nationwide studies consistently to not be necessary, and often simply requires more cost in maintenance (lead builds up on spark plugs causing a
