Ok cool - yeah that's a very reasonable place to start. I've been toying with ideas for "AI driven UIs" but haven't really experimented with much concrete yet. I feel like there's a lot of space to play here th

This seems really interesting though I'm struggling to picture how the AI and UI interact? Is the UI just a reflection of the folders/files on disk that the AI updates? Are there UI interactions (buttons, etc.) that trigger the AI

I started doing media/codec work around 2007 and finding experienced media engineers at the time was difficult and had been for quite some time. It's always been hard - super specialized knowledge that you can only really pick up

A take I saw recently is: if people are still asking "are we in a bubble" then we are not yet in a bubble.

Maybe, but they'd been operating under that name for 7 years before Elon came along and decided he needed a name for his model.

I would imagine they do not want their researchers unnecessarily wasting time fighting for resources - within reason. And at Google, "within reason" can be pretty big.

That doesn't mean they won't try anyway; political ideology often trumps rational planning.

Maybe? The price difference on newer hardware can buy a lot of electricity, and if you aren't running stuff at 100% all the time the calculation changes again. Idle power draw on a brand new server isn't significantly different

P/B frames (which is usually most of them) reference other frames to compress motion effectively. So losing a packet doesn't mean a dropped frame, it means corruption that lasts until the next I-frame/slice. This can be secon

It really depends on product area.

The widely held notion that happiness (or lack thereof) is simply the result of chemical (im)balances is one of the greatest PR victories of the pharmaceutical industry.

I guess I'm confused - are you trying to imply the lack of a thorough, publicly reported successful exploit (or us just not casually giving you one that you care about) means that we're all released from the responsibility of taki
