I'd highly recommend this approach as well. What started as a fascination for me turned into owning a suite of authentication capabilities as a technical PM for one of the SaaS vendors. The problem with auth is that in practice, it&#x2

The way I interpreted the article, it’s not about being a hermit at all. It doesn’t talk about isolation either, which is distinct from solitude, even if the two at times resemble each other. Instead it points out the opposite extreme. Soli

I have been stuck in those lines. But the average time taken by each and every person at self serve lines seems to be higher, because not only does the person need to decide what they want to order, they also need to figure out the UI at th

To me, this makes the doodles more interesting for a few reasons: 1. Penrose obviously is well known, so I’m more likely to pay attention 2. This is more about seeing how mathematicians think and less about a specific individual 3. There’s

The other side of this coin is that many people take forever at the digital kiosk. If there aren’t enough kiosks and the location is a busy one, I’ll actively avoid that place. I might as well figure out how to use their website/app

I think this is a matter of framing. When compared to a system that does nothing but assembles grammatically correct sentences, the correctness of LLM output is impressively high. But ultimately I’m not saying that the accuracy of LLMs is s

Except this is not exactly what LLMs do. This is quickly crossing into an anthropomorphism fallacy. The thing that matters most is how accurate (or not) the LLM is, regardless of how it arrived at its output. A human doing improv bears so

It’s a matter of the corpus at hand and the predictability of a human vs. a computer. With more training and improved algorithms, the computer can reach a high rate of accurate “improvisation”, at which point it doesn’t matter if it’s imp

First, all claims about moral or ethical stances are subjective. So, too, the appropriate punishment. We have no accepted theory of consciousness and more scientists than ever have aligned with the idea that free will is something we exper

From a purely moral/ethical perspective, this doesn’t withstand scrutiny. The foundational ideas underlying the justice system are inherently religious (in the literal sense) in that they depend on a world view that takes at face value

I think there are two independent issues here. Getting out and going straight back to dealing drugs is obviously a bad move. But it’s a move that is far more likely to happen because of the abysmal state of the system and the kinds of “oppo
