I think this is a key aspect. Advertising is what brings in the money after all, to keep the service running. And arguably this market is 3-sided: advertisers, content creators and viewers. And as any multi-sided market there is a huge prob

One goal is to get rid of any critical voices. Only yes-men (or women) will be left standing. It is a test of allegiance, and those that care more about the mission of the organization, or team, customers, users, general public than the bos

That is fabulous! As a DSP/ML guy, this is a contender for my favorite so far.

Where "probable" means: occurs the most often in the training data (approx the entire Internet). So what is common online is most likely to win out, not some other notion of correctness.

No, the lesson or the quote is not anthropomorphizing LLMs. It is not the LLM that "intends", it is the people who design the systems and those who make/provide the training data. In the LLM systems used today the RLHF proces

Pivoting involves picking a different problem to solve. Or who to solve it for. Or rarely, a radically different way to solve it (usually involving starting anew). Features and other product work is tweaking on the solution side, assuming

What kind of performance level? RISC-V spans from 15 cent microcontrollers with 32 kB of RAM to multi-core systolic arrays with gigabytes of RAM...

This seems like a good candidate for an explanation. Stereo to 5.1 upmixing can be done on many different ways, and is likely to e different on different brands of sound cards. Both in levels of sophistication but also just different option

Some soundcard drivers apply equalization by default or strongly suggest it via features like "gaming" or "cinema" modes. If your setup previously had anything like that, then changing can be quite noticable. One tends t

Sometimes you talk to someone (possibly online, usually about a shared interest), and they ask you what your thoughts are on X. Then you can just link them, if you have written on X (or related). Sometimes others want to express a (non triv

American consumer and industrial electronics companies are increasingly unable to deliver products without the Chinese supply chain. How does that not give significant bargaining power? Also factor in that the Chinese manufacturers also man

What is your definition of "tech"? A very large amount of the electronics products in the world are made in China (specifically in/around Szhenzen and the wider Guangdong province). Both consumer goods and industrial goods. F

Over 1 year ago you really liked it and now you do not? That is a worrisome sign! I would recommend investigating that a bit, before making any rash decisions. If you are letting the news get to you personally, then dropping out of school c

For the majority of usecases I have seen: solving a sufficiently large painpoint, understanding/formulating the problem, having/getting the right data, fitting well into a workflow of the users. All the technology challenges are a

Focus on your strong and positive attributes. Right now, during your search process, every day, and during your interview. That is the important stuff. You got a master degree in CS, and 7 years of experience. That is very valuable skills,

Arguably this is exactly an example of that? There is also a sanctioning scheme on oil and various other goods. Not saying these are perfect, or even sufficient. But which measures do you have in mind?

Yeah a particular company like Meta might be in for a challenging time. Mostly due to competition from the other social media companies. So the entire class of social media companies as a whole is very well positioned.

Most promising by what definition? And what subset of applications/markets are you considering? In the microcontroller space, China is leading on RISC-V. EspressIf, WCH, et.c are already shipping units at scale. Of course these are low

Sure. And some of those people are black hats ;)

Why do you get off work so late? And also need to get up early (and thus sleep early)?

by jononor 2y ago
Why do you consider the social media companies overvalued? In a consumer economy driven by advertising and influencing, with billions in online shopping, social media are very well placed to dip into those large money streams (and they do).

10 years ago people said the same about KiCAD and Blender :) No guarantee that FreeCAD will be the same - but you can be pretty confident it will never go away. However, if the goal is to be a full time employee doing CAD, I would of course

What do you mean by modules, exactly? In a smartphone, which is the largest market, and where Mediatek is pretty strong, many of those functions are integrated as part of a system on chip. Power consumption also required good interplay betw

Is the project available anywhere? I have that hardware, and am on the lookout for demo platforms for the ML/DSP library I am developing ( https://github.com/emlearn/emlearn-micropython ).

Safari is now the browser that is lagging the most behind. And it has not gotten better recently either. Apple even got into "AI", so I would not put it beyond them to kill a browser team.

Are you utilizing the SIMD and acceleration instructions in the S3? What kind of performance are you seeing? Neural accelerators are coming into MCUs. The just released STM32N6 is probably among the best. Alif with the U55/U85 has been

For 10 USD you get an ESP32S3 board, which can do basic computer vision tasks. For example using OpenMV or emlearn-micropython. For 15-20 USD you can get a board that includes an OV2640 camera. Examples would be XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, LilyGo T
