Or you end up with the opposite end of the problem. I grew up in destitute poverty and was told all my childhood that credit was an evil trap - I should absolutely never use it. Well, spring forward to me starting a pretty good career as a

I find it really strange how many people are outraged or shocked about this. I have to assume that they are all simply ignorant of the fact that this exact same preservation of your data happens in every other service you use constantly oth

I don't really know how else to lead you to understand that when you query a data source you do not have control over, through a network you do not have control over, you cannot make the interface work faster than the response from tha

I’m sure your super awesome programming skills that fix infrastructure and eliminate network I/O are very cool!

As your career goes on, you will likely eventually work on large production systems that are not idealized greenfield deployments - at this time, you will have to come to terms with the constraints of Network and I/O bounds, and your d

That's even more infuriating. Just sheer incompetence wasting your valuable space and bandwidth.

I would not consider Google search, nor its AI overview an example of a good system. It is an effective product, in so far as it generates revenue, but it is not an example I would use to describe a system that provides a good and useful ex

That is horrendous. I'm assuming it contains some kind of giant dataset in its entirety?

If you need an 8gb docker image as part of your local web development stack, that’s a toolchain problem.

I don’t recall anyone ranting about “DEI” 12 years ago. I do recall the same rants about 3 or 4 other terms that ultimately resolve to “people that aren’t me are allowed to do things”, though.

I think politics will always be a big part of open source, as the nature of open source development is inherently at odds with corporatism and control. It's particularly the reactionary stuff that concerns me when it comes to projects

I agree with the sentiment of this post in general (annoyance with Wayland being shoved down my throat, despite missing core features of Xorg) but I am rather concerned about Xlibre's future as a project. The README being stuffed with

This reminded me of a feature request I dealt with at an employer, while working on backoffice software for a support team. The software loaded a list of all current customers on the main index page - this was fine in the early days, but as

I'm having a hard time parsing the data in this paper - is it showing that task focus increases at 1000ppm compared to 600ppm CO2 exposure?

Not just unreadable - actively malicious . Every now and then I run into a website with a bunch of custom javascript that doesn't function in Firefox, and I'll have to open up Edge or Chromium (depending on what computer I'm

I see what you’re getting at now. I agree I’d like to see a more general trial that measures general changes in problem solving ability after a test group is set at using LLMs for a specific problem solving task vs a control group not using

Probably interesting to note that this is almost always true of weighted randomness. If you have something that you consider to be over 50% towards your desired result, reducing the space of the result has a higher chance of removing the ne

Your question is answered by the study abstract. > Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM rel

I am not an expert in the subject but I believe that motor neurons retain memory, even those not located inside the brain. They may be subject to different constraints than other neurons.

You’re missing some deeply important context there, which is that those measurements are for outdoor atmospheric CO2 only. Average indoor air quality ranges from 400-1000 ppm CO2, with adverse mental effects starting to appear close to 2000

A long history of researching and understanding photosynthesis went into developing and maximizing the efficiency of solar panels. Both produce energy from sunlight. But they are not the same thing and have meaningfully different uses, even

Not to be snarky but “as far as I can tell” is the rub isn’t it? LLMs are better at matching patterns than we are in some cases. That’s why we made them! > But one could also argue that humans are pattern-matchers! No, one could not unle

One could say, for instance… A pattern matching algorithm detects when patterns match.

Words have definitions for a reason. It is important to define concepts and exclude things from that definition that do not match. No matter how emotional it makes you to be told a weighted randomization lookup doesn’t know things, it still

Skepticism cannot, by definition, be religious. You should re-think the bias that led you to this belief.

Where did you see this information? Was it on a social media channel? I do see the IAM services in the list of affected services in the incident report.

What do you mean by this? The Google outage is a widespread outage of most GCP services.
