I'm thinking about a PF app concept where you enter your own transactions manually, but you don't have to keep track of everything down to the cent. At the end of every month, banks send out statements so importing all transactio

AI/ML have a need for clean, high quality data but I think even an AGI would run into the same problems as human brains. Which information is accurate? Which are blatant lies or unintentional misinformation? What biases its knowledge m

Looks like the second example is wrong: "[4, 3] * ureg.cm" should be "ureg.meter" instead

Thank you for sharing. Honestly I don't see any "pixel divining" in your examples. The algos take existing pixels and build on top of that. Irish Setter example seems to introduce detail that is not part of the original small

It is pretty impressive/crazy how well CDM and SR3 work together to go from 32x32 to 256x256 e.g. the Irish Setter. How could the algos possibly know the lighter coloring (due to breed or lighting) between the dog's eyes?! It&#x27

Yes, as the size of the capacitor shrinks, the plates get closer and it becomes harder for the dielectric to maintain charge (hence voltage) without arcing. Btw they are talking about supercapacitors which are a specific kind of capacitor t

Yes I know. But via app store, not from Safari directly (like every other browser) and for $$$.

Ya I know I "can". Via app store, I know. Hence my comment: "hard" to install ad-blockers

A similar concept that works for me is to trick myself into thinking I'm only going to do a little. Once in motion, I capitalize on the sunk cost fallacy :P Let's say if I don't want to take a walk, I'll say to myself, &

Of course ideas have value only when executed. That's like saying a lottery ticket or a check only has value when cashed. That fact aside, some ideas are indeed worth more than others, just like some checks are worth more than others w

Copilot itself may not be infringing copyright or GPL, but its users will be if they incorporate its suggestions into their commercial products.

by emrah 5y ago
I'm thinking it's not so much what is legal for Copilot to do with code chunks from GPL'ed code, but what it means for end users (i.e. developers at for-profit companies) to incorporate those chunks into commercial products

by emrah 5y ago
Even if it's legal for Copilot to do what it does, does it not violate GPL to take pieces of GPL'ed code and use them in a commercial product?

Cool concept, best of luck to you with it. I have to admit though, I think the name could be better. I understand it's a play on "mock interview" but "to mock" has several meanings and the one in "mock me"

As always with anything, it seems like there is a wide range of reactions to quitting. I know of people who quit and never went back to smoking, and I also know people who find it incredibly hard to stay off of it forever and go back to smo

For me, the biggest issue with capitalism is that it narrowly tries to optimize "profit" above all and at all cost. The problem with that is there are essential human needs that should be taken care of without trying to optimize p

It's expected/appreciated that applicants should put in the effort to tailor their resumes and cover letters for each job posting they apply. So why are companies taking the lazy route? A single job posting shouldn't aim for

Healthcare is not "business". Well it shouldn't be anyway. Same goes for other essentials that one cannot do without such as food, water, air, etc. But the current system is insufficient (or unwilling to) to model this realit

If your end user is using a browser, the session/cookie is the right mechanism to use. Even though it seems more convenient to use JWT instead of a regular cookie, since JWT is not recognized by browsers, there are security gotchas whe

Seth Godin did a good job riffing about the problem with capitalism, that when it goes unchecked, or rather optimizes for a single number, it leads to catastrophic results.
