Oh wow, I set this on my Pixel 3 and started immediately flashing on and off. It reset and allowed me to do a factory reset, and now it works. That’s crazy, don’t do this. To be clear, this was on my old phone not my main phone, so I didn’t

In a boneheaded movei I accidentally committed my SendGrid creds to GitHub. Pretty quickly after, GitHub alerted me. However by then my SG account was sending thousands of automated spam messages. Those automated scammer systems are FAST. N

I don't think this would work. How would one get around the ISP's NAT to expose your address to the wider internet? At least, without potentially paying the ISP extra or going through a (relatively) lot of trouble to monitor/

Yeah they're still used. When approaching a new problem I reach for linear methods first if it seems like they could work. DNNs are amazing, but can be very heavy handed and use significantly more resources, which isn't desirable

This is a cool concept! Lots of messages appear to be people spamming their twitch or whatever IDs asking for followers.

This is...not great. I'm not an editor and not trying to provide free advice to the authors, but this is basically spam. Part of it sounds like it is geared for a total layman to mention some concepts, and part of it talks about learni

It took them a while to release GOT-2 full model because of the implications for things like spambots. The GPT-3 paper indicates that they have been monitoring forums and noticed that bad actors haven't really been using GPT-2 for thei

The largest AWS instances are $30-something/hr on demand, less with reserved time. So pretty expensive.

Even the Teslas I use have 256GB memory and those are pretty cutting edge. 500GB in GPU memory is insane.

This post may be tongue in cheek, but realistically that's right. I ran the Facebook chatbot that was posted maybe a month ago and didn't get good performance until I was using many Tesla v100 GPUs, which are $8k each. Thankfully

Heavy Jump user here. They're perfect for commuting for me, dealing with hills and getting to and from the office, and then not having to worry about the bike once I got to the office. This news makes me sad.

Wow, same here. I have an audible membership and several unused credits. After browsing the great courses (which I hadn't heard of before this), definitely going to try one.

This is well put, and I've worked places where this has happened to customers. Our current domain is in augmenting humans with AI, which avoids the problem you're describing because it doesn't take humans out of the loop at a

Like many things it can be. And has been used in that way a lot, like other hyped things (blockchain comes to mind). But unlike blockchain, ML has a real use and can be unreasonably effective at certain things. It's not a grift when us

That's right. ML and AI are interchangeable at this point and both mean basically what you said. Though not necessarily a DNN per se. But that's the idea. Academically we mostly specify AGI to mean things more advanced or speculat

It depends on which ethical framework you subscribe to, but if I were in your shoes using my ethical framework, it seems like the small cost to me to purchasing an available domain (making the assumption here it's a standard buy and it

I was thinking about the USA specifically, but I think it applies generally that despite some of its interesting tenets, very few people support it. Without at least some critical mass of supporters, ideally at least a plurality, it has no

I've had this same experience, but a perspective from not necessarily working from coffee shops but places like airbnbs. Mostly it's awful and stressful like you mention. Many airbnbs don't have great internet or a comfortabl

I was one of the most vocal critics in the original thread, justifiably. I lost a little sleep over how it could potentially affect me at my current job. I feel bad for the company because I think the original decision meant the would lose

Yeah, and while some people talk big with no credentials/experience to back up the talk, there are a lot of people I don't know personally that I follow whose opinions I trust more than some anonymous forum commentator. That being

It implies intent to tailor something for an audience. Every business in existence (hyperbole) tailors something for their audience. What it doesn't imply is nefarious intent. We can definitely speculate on whether there was nefarious

The comment your replying to as written doesn't imply any nefarious intent. And you go on to talk knowing my to Joe Rogans state of mind, which you cannot know. This is a weird comment; it sounds almost shilling for some reason.

Devil's advocate here, I don't personally think a company should adjust pay based on location and tend to agree with the thrust of your point. But one might think of it as FB (or whomever) paying an employee enough to live up to a

I haven't seen it mentioned, but Boulder for me. I'm really into outdoors sports all year round, but winter sports in particular. To be able to work in a cool locale that is built around that lifestyle, but also where there are a

Yeah, thanks for the response. I saw you mention this downthread after you made the comment. Thanks for the work you do moderating this place.

Maybe. I did TripleByte, the usual process everyone is talking about. That led to 30 minute calls with a bunch of potential employers, then I selected 2-3 of them to do on-sites. The on-sites were single day technical whiteboarding sessions

This thread rose to the top group of the front page last night (you can see I posted here then, I happened to see it). Then it sunk quickly and disappeared. I was a little dismayed because the cynic in me was thinking along the lines of it
