in some ways, are they not able to run their own apps on the iOS ecosystem to support extra features? My sony headphones claim they do all kinds of magic stuff through the app, but I guess that's not a realtime feature, more like a reg

yeah indeed, regression testing for chatbots that use RAGs would involve making sure the correct response comes from the RAG. Today we have a extremely hacky workaround by ensuring that at least the desired chunk from the RAG is selected, b

Indeed. I feel so weird reading this discussion section. My home server is on a 5600G. I turned it on, installed home assistant and jellyfin etc... , and since it has not been off. It's been chugging along completely unattended, no wor

even AI does not have a concrete definition. Doesn't mean there aren't practical definitions depending on the context. In essence, teaching an AI using recources meant for humans, and nothing more, would be considered AGI. That co

LLM is far from the highest AI related cost, so we basically don't care about optimizing LLMs. Obviously we don't use the super expensive ones like GPT4.5 or so. But we don't really bother with mini models, because GPT4.1 etc

well, as someone working in a department that also has Fraud detection responsibilities, the amount of users that lose tons of money because of scam apps, spoofed apps, identity stealing apps, is big. Like insanely big. I am all for it that

your compensation is speed, you get to go home faster. Is that not enough?

you'd be surprised how many people steal small valuable items and hide it by doing normal shopping and having a normal shopping cart for their other items. That expensive 30 dollar bottle of shampoo for example, in the handbag, and jus

by dahcryn 1y ago
but it's been proven time and time again, that any form of fraud of theft, leads to at least 3x more in the future. If they get away with it, they never stop, and just keep stealing more and more. Most never hit any repercussions. Yet

you kill off all open source pieces, in turn compliance is happy, and a CTO is happy because he has a maintenance contract and can blame other people if stuff goes wrong. It's a way to get those pesky Python people to shut up Oh, and a

because it's recommended by nearly all consultants and Microsoft. Simple as that, it's consulting Heaven. Much like SAS and SAP. Everybody happy. Now to be far to databricks, if used properly and ignore the cost, it does actually

yeah where IT blocks half of the config, and you disable half of the features that could make it great, just to make sure they definitely don't give control to..GASP... A DATA ENGINEER

I don't think there is anything out there that really bundles everything exactly like databricks does. There are better storage solutions, better compute and better AI/ML platforms, but once you start with databricks, you dig your

it really is the most expensive I've ever came across. It would be a flatout no-go if it weren't for Microsoft pushing everyone onto this platform, supported by their network of really absolutely neutral Gartner friends and Deloit

it's by design, Ryanair never buys from the factory AFAIK. They buy secondhand, they are basically scalpers of the second hand market, always on the lookout for a good deal. That mitigates the risk of buying untested tech with first-it

most low cost airlines are on 737 actually. I guess the strategy for Vuelling is definitely to go more after ryanair and other holiday carriers. Some MBA types might also see the opportunity to lay off experienced expensive Airbus pilots an

It's a great idea, but it's been killed off by the small print that was lobbied into the requirements Basically, banks force apps or users to require you fully revalidate user consent every 90 days. And it's quite an annoying

this scares me. The last thing we need is cheap consulting messing with open source projects. I don't want TCS and Accenture developing libreoffice or stuff like that and turn it into shit

To me the interesting idea is the followup question: Can you do complex reasoning without intelligence? LLM's seem to have proven themselves to be more than a one-trick-pony. There is actually some resemblance of reasoning and structur

that's not how that works. Money doesn't mean "I built whatever I want and Postgres will evolve into whatever I want by pushing my code". They still need to align and plan. Sure, they'll build the things and contrib

it also doesn't help that many of these companies tend to either limit the context of the chat to the 10 most recent messages (5 back and forths), or rewrite the history summarized in a few sentences. Both ways lose a ton of informatio

built in a time where cost was not really an issue. Human labor was cheap, scale and complexity lower (from an engineering point of view, just add more stones until it looks good), and inflation wasn't really a thing so bulk was possib

yes it does. If software is implicitly built on wrong understanding, or undefined behaviour, I consider it rotting when it starts to fall apart as those undefined behaviours get defined. We do not need to sacrifice a stable future because o
