Soo, if and when this "AI" is applied to suggestions, will it stop to suggest washing machines to me after I just bought one the other day in the same shop? Or the same article I just read this morning? As long as this very simply

What I find intriguing here is that in the past century, breakthroughs in physics (relativity, quantum mechanics) followed from earlier insights in mathematics (linear algebra, stochastics). Yes, mathematics can be very, very abstract and s

Now even reading ML and compiling in the title is not a guarantee for ML the language. I hate overloading.

We might simply be a society in decline. Bureaucracy, Idiocracy, Cleotocracy all effect productivity negatively - and they're all present to various degrees around the world. We have bullshit jobs, virtual economies, ideological educat

Uh, does that imply boars are more radioactive elsewhere, too? Northern Germany, Poland, France ... Could it be that they simply aren't tested elsewhere?

I am waiting for someone publishing the theoretical limits of these "AI" systems. They're certainly impressive language models - don't get me wrong on that. But every algorithm and every model has its limits. To know t

Naturally everyone does waterfall, just at different points. Even if I did the leanest form of Kanban, I have to check the requirements of each ticket, understand them, translate them to maybe a prototype/discovery phase, come up with

Sigh . Releasing more often is not an ideal situation. Yes, being able to release every single change on its own, fully tested, is a nice to have tool. But the real world works in office days, weeks, and quarters. And whatever amount of

Let's see if white hydrogen turns into something real. Could be bad for anyone invested in electrolytes, but great for fuel cells, etc.

What an amazing time we live in. It took weeks for the world to investigate this "discovery". Weeks. Not months, years, or decades. We will see spectacular results from this kind of global scientific collaboration. I am confident

Program synthesis by a language model is certainly cool, but I don't think it's really novel. After all, the mutator could as well just be a random AST transformer. So what's the real deal here? Does the mutator end up with a

Investors are the landlords, if indirectly. To be honest, I always wondered how much of the venture capital would turn into revenue for other investments. Assume, you own Microsoft stock and are a venture capitalist. How do you react to y

They aren't banning cars. They're requiring special permits. That's a difference. In effect, they're banning cars for the masses and keep them for a small group (the wealthy, all sorts of delivery drivers, officials).

Yeah right. "Don't worry, the leash you'll be wearing is a public standard.". You're either paid or delusional.

So we have to accept control through Google or Apple or otherwise we will be controlled by Alibaba or Huawei? I don't want my devices to be controlled by neither company.

That's neat, but it misses the point. LK-99 is not even available for engineering, yet. You might be able to use one of the existing designs. Maybe you need to come up with a new design. But you cannot do that just yet.

That's a physics-based assumption, not an engineering-based one. Unlike the effect on nuclear fusion, the idea of using SC as storage devices is pretty much pure theory. Edit: it's currently leaving the theory part at MW scales as

Let's face it: People don't want to pay for the software they're using. They don't want to pay for their phone apps and they don't want to pay for the maintenance of their Linux Server stack. Even just installing se

We need legislation that clarifies who owns a device and what consequences this ownership has. But we won't ever get it as governments and corporations feel that they should own the device. If they ever agree on a separation of owner

There are two cases where such a tool could be useful: 1. You have no clue about what "boilerplate" is required or why. 2. You know what's required but you need to generate the boilerplate often. In the first case, just stop.

Unpopular opinion: If such a tool is useful for you, you are doing something wrong. There is maybe a valid exception for use cases that intentionally create projects that require manual work (university and other trainings), but generally i

So what does make (the took is not called Makefile, btw) "wrong". Where could one improve on it? 1. Syntax. Makefiles aren't parseable and have some at least unexpected syntactic properties. 2. Dependency detection: AFAIK any

Fascinating. And isn't it great that our ancestors left all these bi- and trilinguals? Imagine: They only did this because the elite was multi-lingual in those early empires.

It's important to note the other side of the medal: Today's inflation is to a large degree caused by the expansionist money policy that was necessary to prevent a Greece financial collapse (which would have undermined the Euro as
