Really? From where I'm standing LeCun is a pompous researcher who had early success in his career, and has been capitalizing on that ever since. Have you read any of his papers from the last 20 years? 90% of his citations are to his ow

I don't understand. Apple is being forced to disable E2EE due to UK legislation. This legislation does not just apply to Apple, so presumably any service you switch to (e.g. Proton was suggested in the article) will be subject to such

An excuse? Not really. I see no issue with discrimination in ads. Ads are not a public good / human right.

You brought up Europe, so I assumed you were making a legal argument. Right and wrong isn't dependent on the region you are in, imo. > In Germany all job postings explicitly say „(m/w/d)“ Great, and what is actually stop

So your argument is: people will get mad if we don't bequeath them employment. That's it? What if they get mad because their wages aren't living wages? What then? Why shouldn't they be owed living wages or owed non-awful

This sub-thread isn't really about what is legal (or illegal) in Europe or any other jurisdiction. It is about what is right. When it comes to legality and enforcement though, it does seem highly inconsistent to enforce something like

No, people as a whole are obviously not "owed" jobs. Why would you be owed a job?
310.
by fastball 11mo ago
Nobody is hiding anything. But the point about not being owed a job is that even if they were "hiding" something, that wouldn't be a problem. You are not owed visibility of a job in the same way you are not owed the job itsel

Yeahhhhhh, those jobs don't have those ratios due to facebook ads.

You are not owed either job. Getting a high-paying "boy job" is your own responsibility if you want one.

The onus needs to be on convincingly demonstrating the alleged systemic harm. Until then, "revealed preference" seems more appropriate.

Yes when you run out of money the actual interventions invariably shrink, but AFAICT the expectation has not changed.

Communism is literally when the government owns the means of production. Owning the means of distribution is not far from that at all.

The problem with the idea that it is the government's job to ensure "necessities" is that the list of what is a "necessity" only ever gets larger – it never shrinks.

You can call it a sideshow, but it kinda seems like the DNC want the authoritarian to win as long as they keep scoring own goals.

The American people have agency and are responsible for the candidates they elect. But part of this process is candidates being nominated by the major parties, and the RNC put forward a candidate that people actually wanted to elect. The DN

How are you calculating "less information"?

LLMs are inherently probabilistic. Things like ReLU throw out a ton of data deliberately.

An AVP is a fully-fledged computer. It has the same chip my Macbook Pro does.

My company-issued laptop isn't far off $3.5k. The tail end of AVP development and release was happening during the pandemic. I can absolutely imagine sane company execs who looked at the new remote work reality (at the time), and figur

And you are better at working on the company's bread and butter with worse intuition?

It's not even clear the USA "won" the space race. America was first (and last) to land men on the moon, but arguably the USSR had far more space-related "firsts" than the US. Landing on the moon only become the end-

So you are a worse dev now than you were before? Have you asked for a pay cut from your employer?

One of my co-workers was woken up by his Eight Sleep going haywire. He couldn't turn it off because the app wouldn't work (presumably running on AWS).
