I want to point that rought code is expected from junior developers in general, not only "offshore" devs. It is sad that developers from global south usually have to perform at a much higher level than their peers at the north, ju

No, it won't. Sadly most people doesn't have that tech expertise. And how you would run an open source browser in a walled garden like iOS or similar?

You have tried Control+I (Cmd+I in Mac) with Visual Studio Code + GitHub Copilot? I didn't knew of it until yesterday and it is much better than the chat or wait for autocomplete approach.

My suspect is BERT and semantic search. Before it most word embedding models were monolingual and non contextual, so they were not useful for search. So Google had to use inverse indexes and an algorithm fine tuned for years. With BERT they

Let's be honest: obviously the companies that have put a lot of money in it will try to put entry barriers, like licenses to linear algebra or other requirements by law. It is not to benefit humanity, but to monopolize their industry a

I teach an entry level CS course at the University and my students got scared a lot when they saw that message. It was funny until I noted that they were really worried :( .

Something that I find very sad and is but discussed enough is using The Pile as training set (ok, for this one was will have to wait for the report). The Pile is a dataset of mostly English documents. So it won't have the multilingual

Big companies obviously no. But a bootstrapped startup? Probably yes, at least initially. And here we are not talking about "basic decency" or taxes. The audit requirements by the new EU law are extremely expensive. They assume th

At some point would be cheaper to just block access from whole Europe than complying with their laws. The worst part is that a lot of politicians in other countries are just copying the EU tech legislation, instead of trying to produce some

I open a ticket exactly 6 years and 1 day ago regarding exactly this same issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35903415?pli=1 . Guess that they will never fix it.

I find amusing that in some countries those numbers are treated as secret. In mine all that information is public, you can even look for somebody by name or ID in a government website.
