The US revealing its true face (the fact it was no allies, only vassals) and trying to bully Taiwan into giving up its most precious economic could be something that help China in the long run. I mean, given two bullies, why try to appease

It's true tho that Japanese universities have a problem with labs communication. In the former university I was a MEXT student in, there was at least three labs that could have collaborated on topics that my lab was focused one. Grante

One diacritic in the title is wrong, and it's annoying. They obviously tried, but still failed. One google search would have shown the issue.

I think it's a tech advancement issue, just like touch screens wasn't a thing for a very long time while it they were resistive. Then the iPhone came with capacitive touch screen and now they're everywhere. When (if ever) XR

The fundamental difference is in the public: extreme-left for bluesky, trumpist for truth social and twitter for whoever isn't making a platform choice part of its identity.

Ok but how are the companies supposed to replace workers when the tech isn't having real use cases, and is far from accurate?

It's not totally true: computer programs have downtime (even major cloud platforms), and need maintenance to keep being useful and operational.

It's only the first reveal. I'm sure they'll be raising the hype with game trailers until the release date.

Those people are doing real work, it's normal they're paid too. If musicians want more for themselves they could cut middlemen and produce and commercialize themselves their music.

F* is older than a decade. Also it's a research project, so quite different than the random "memory safe" language iteration of the day.

This was also a thing in Alsace (France), under the same name. However I only ever heard of it from my mother, as it is was a thing people did when she was young, but isn't a thing anymore since decades. Maybe in a few villages?

No, GPT-4 would have been classified as it is today: a (good) generator of natural language. While this is a hard classical NLP task, it's a far cry from intelligence.

No, it's indeed a very real problem. I ran into with a very small service.

That's not always a bad thing, especially when it's about things like "let's do this or read about that" instead of sleeping at a fixed hours. Might be a part of why night owls are more creative.

Enshitification is slower on Wikipedia than elsewhere, but sadly still happening. I'm still upset about the language button that cause me one additional click instead of the direct links on the left menu.

It was decided years ago, but some politicians and shareholders decided it was a good opportunity to exploit. Also the Russian economy was supposed to collapse few years ago because of UE sanctions. Still waiting for that to happen.

We need to find a Plato cave analogy for people believing LLM output is anything more than syntactically correct and somewhat semantically correct text.

Research disagrees with you. Memorizing vocabulary list is one of the most efficient use of time for learning a language. Sure it's not sufficient alone, and not fun but it works. It's especially useful at the start when learning

It is a good branding, like neural networks, and even artificial intelligence was. The good point is it makes really easy to detect who is a bullshiter and who understand at least very remotely what a LLM is supposed to produce.

A well working CPU is probably beside the point. What's important now is for researchers to publish papers using or speaking about AI. Then executives and managers to deploy AI in their companies. Then selling AI PC (somehow, we are al
