I thought using local rather than cloud AI was pretty universally agreed to be good?

The important thing is to realize that this feeling is irrational. People aren't strongly bothered that easily. Quite the contrary, extroverted people tend to be much more popular than average.

That is, respectfully, insane advice.

The first one is a difficult balance but not really impossible. The second is basically utilitarianism: Of course you can't maximize all wishes because they often contradict each other, but there can be a reasonable trade-off. Some tra

Part of the problem is that it isn't the LLM making the image directly itself, it's the LLM repeatedly prompting edits for a separate edit diffusion model. The Gemini reasoning summary shows part of this. The style of some of the

At this point the study is already mostly irrelevant because the model in question has long been far surpassed by new models. It seems traditional publishing doesn't work for really fast moving fields.

Well, it's still a suboptimal solution. Moreover, if you are modifying any library functions, there is a high probability that you can't change the call sites at all because you simply don't have access to them.

Neat, an ontological argument against AI safety. Similar argument: "God doesn't exist" is essentially incoherent. God is the perfect being, and if he didn't exist, he wouldn't be perfect. I think the logical mistake

Admittedly I don't really understand your construction. But this solution, if it works, doesn't look practical enough that it could be routinely used in practice like Foo|Null could be. By the way, some languages even shorten &quo

No, they don't reference any "high price to pay", only that they personally didn't need the advantages of untagged union types so far, and that Haskell (allegedly) has patterns that would play a similar role for librarie

No that's not right. If you were calling a function which might return null (String | Null), you will already have null handling at the call site, but if you now change that function such that it never returns null (String), you still

I know this is not the point of the article, but I find the anecdote in the beginning about null pointer errors somewhat ironic. Haskell's solution to null pointers are option types (`Maybe x` in Haskell), but these are known to be sub

My theory is this: Until recently, "cyber x" meant the same as "Internet x" (because Internet ≈ Cyberspace), except that "cyber" sounds a bit cooler, and security organizations wanted to sound especially cool,

If you didn't care about the service you wouldn't visit their website in the first place, in which case there is no problem.

Yeah, cybernetics was unrelated to security, and so was the cyberspace or cyberpunk.
