I think GPT-4 is way more than 3 million times more efficient than my brain. All it does is a lot of multiplication and adding and my brain is crap at that.

The author doesn't use the correct terminology and does not understand box plots themselves so they are in no position to explain them to anyone. They explain in terms of absolutes with no rational or scientific explanation and entirel

Because it's very hard to rationally compare multimodal batches without single test statistics. And they present five summary figures for each batch, each of which are reasonable metrics to compare batches with.

Comparing location, spread and skew of multiple batches.
65.
by cjk2 2y ago
This is also wrong. Gaussian curves are symmetric. Box plots do not have to be. In fact representing skew in a batch is one of the fundamental purposes of them.

Exactly this on the last point. Although rereading this the distribution point is explained poorly. People waltz in with assumptions and then complain when they don’t work because they don’t really understand the tools they are using. The a

No you shouldn’t stop using box plots. You should use them for when they are appropriate - showing location and spread. And not shape! There’s absolutely no information on modality or distribution presented past quartiles and limits. They a

Slow as hell. Which is why everything we are doing is no longer in Lambda. Literally it was crippling and most people don't notice it in the noise of all the other problems that software complexity brings in. If you measure it, you end

That is exactly what working for the customer is. Fundamental technology, research and science.

That'd be because MSR was working on stuff for customers, not for shareholders...

As my father used to say, shit floats to the top of the tank. Shit being sycophants, yes men and liars usually. Oh that sums up MSFT senior management nicely.

Actually no we don't. I work for a company with 10,000 windows seats and we use it because we're basically locked in and stuck with the steaming turd. And the rug is getting pulled on Windows 10 now. Notably one of our biggest sec

It's worse than that. They always sacrifice their customers to try and win new business on some fad of the hour. Every fucking time. This has been going on 20 years at least. This is another Windows Phone. They shaft the entire platf

Clearly you have never used the Start Menu before!

No because it’s hard enough picking up an experienced human’s designs and work with them. A 70% done board is a headache to unwrap. I’d start again.

by cjk2 2y ago
Yeah. But you need $200k worth of Keysight kit to test it. The point is there’s a methodology to solve these problems already. Is this better? And can it use and apply it?

Make two separate signals arrive at exactly the same time on two 50 ohm transmission lines that start and end next to each other and go around a right hand bend. At 3.8GHz. Edit: no VSWR constraint. Can add that later :) Edit 2: oh or desig

I doubt it'd work any better. Most of EE time I have spent is swearing at stuff that looked like it'd work on paper but didn't due to various nuances. I have my own library of nuances but how would you even fine tune anything

AI proceeds to use 2n3904 as a thyristor. AI happy as it worked the first 10ns of the cycle.

Ex EE here > The AI generated circuit was three times the cost and size of the design created by that expert engineer at TI. It is also missing many of the necessary connections. Exactly what I expected. Edit: to clarify this is even b

That's probably the most naive take there is. Most of nuclear is not innovation but security, logistics and safety. Something tech startups are fucking terrible at.

Yep. I was in the middle of bloody nowhere last year in central Asia and came across two Italian guys doing that. Turns out there was 4G up there! I didn't even have 4G there. I was just wifi hopping as and when I needed it.

Of course. But some idiots will fall for the marketing and buy it and end up dead.

That's an unrealistic view. It's unlikely. Firstly because we already have well defined systems for that which are tested in the field and are specifically designed for it and emergency routing (InReach for example). Secondly a lo

I don't think the DOE would allow that based on their current commitment to security.

Regular backpacker here. I don't want or need this. Literally we all use eSIMs and just have downtime occasionally, which is partially the point of it.

It's old and hard. Which is the exact opposite of tech innovation.

This is the financial model the large investors have been working on. Luxury market saturation followed by commoditisation of EVs. Go look at the Invesco QQQ ETF on Morningstar and they're the only loss in the top 10. Also why you dive

Yeah this. I only shot an win32 c++ win32 desktop app I compiled for NT4 in 1999 about 2 years ago and that was running on Windows Server 2016 fine. It was resurrected earlier this year again. futzed a bit by someone else to fix some deprec

Linux distribution support lifecycle is rarely a problem in reality from experience. In fact stability at that level probably hurts you in the long run because the disparity between your old and new world is massive then. What is a problem
