The way I think about this is either the job is done in the most efficient way possible or I am asking everyone else to pay more for that product/service (sometimes a worse product/service) just so I can have a job. E.g. if I was

I think this quote is often misapplied. The question "can a submarine safely move through water" IS a very interesting question (especially if you are planning a trip in one!). Obviously this quote would be well applied if we were

Where do you live that the justice system doesn't attempt to apportion blame, and just locks up / fines the driver?

RAG is just "Retrieval Augmented Generation", vector similarity is one way to do that retrieval but not the only. Though you are right, there is really no retrieval step augmenting the generation here, more like just a validation

I never understood this, I believe very strongly in the free market, but only where there is a free market. Of course you can let the free market run free up to the border of e.g. the US but surely it won't solve international trade

What on earth is he talking about? Firstly, I find Amazon fine for goods that are hard to be faked (washing powder, books, etc...). But the real shocker to me is: > That means shopping anywhere other than Amazon has become substantially

Zuckerberg has negative charisma, it's painful to watch... Jobs handled this so much better; while clearly he is pissed, he doesn't leave you cringing in mutual embarrassment, goes to show it isn't as easy as he makes it look

Why are Ray-Ban doing this, is Meta paying them a boatload? I'm not negative on the Meta glasses, I think a device like this is the future, even still this hurts Ray-Bans reputation in my eyes. It's like if Rolex made a smart watc

This is so sad. Like an addict who is hoping for that easy win to get them out of the terrible hole they are in... This government (as the last, to be fair) is betting on unproven technology they barely understand and sometimes horribly mis

Water company came to my old flat, "impossible" to install a meter. My water bill halved because of their assessment. Of course, I had lived there for 5 years, had been trying to get a visit for 1 year and hadn't changed my w

People who enforce 996 or whatever other schedule are treating the symptom and not the cause. What they really want is for all of their employees to be so in love with the work, so bought into the mission and so compelled by the vision that

Also these stories are "storified" over time, the reality is always messier (same with startup founding stories etc..). A common mistake I see in people reading mathematics (or even computer science papers) is to think the proof s

He says not to start with a joke, but he delivers this line as a joke (and the class laughs). So now I don't know whether to start with a joke or not! Phenomenal talk.

This story will probably become big enough to drown out the fake video and the AI (which is presumably being fed top n search results) will automatically describe this fake video controversy instead...

It doesn't seem like this is the direction you are going, but this feels like what Siri could become (though I have little faith given the history). With your sunscreen example, I should be able to just ask Siri to do exactly this, a

I would love to see a web app with an interface where I select two programming languages and it shows me a really clean snippet of code in language A and says "Look how terribly hard and unclean this is to achieve in language B".

This argument is so ridiculous I must be misunderstanding you. By your logic you owe me access your house since my tax dollars pay for the legal system that gives you property rights?!

I feel 18 out of 2 isn't a good enough statistic to say he is "just right twice a day". What was the cost of the 16 missed predictions? Presumably he is up over all! Also doesn't even tell us his false positive rate. If,

Yes indeed, if the sample size approached infinity (and not the number of samples), you would essentially just be calculating the mean of the original distribution.

In my experience it is often subtly simpler than this. Rising to the top of a company is rarely the meritocracy we'd like to think, (or, at least, the merit required to rise is different than the merit required to lead a company succes

Out of interest, how much does the model change (if at all) over those 2 weeks? Does OpenAI guarantee that if you do testing from date X, that is the model (and accompaniments) that will actually be released? I know these companies do &quot

Obviously the landlord offers something of value or the tenant would just do what the landlord did. Your analogy is also somewhat unfortunate since people did, in the past, rent TVs! Now that supply is far greater than demand, a quality TV

They are not reliable at all unless paired with some physical measurements (Lidar, or a known size object in the scene). Probably an interesting use for a pretrained model to estimate scale based on common items seen in scenes (cars, doorfr
