People have a strong need to feel connected to others. Many feel particularly strong about their ancestors, or perhaps more distant family or people that were there in particular moments in life. I can definitely see a possibility that peo

For a software engineer I would rather recommend implementing from a reference software implementation. There are for example tons of "Model XX from scratch" in Python - which you can translate to Dotnet/Go. Implementing code

The people that support the War on drugs would say it's with good intentions. But it has put a lot of people in jail where it neither benefits them nor people around them, nor society at large. In many cases leading to worse outcomes f

It may be that we found out that sentience is not as magical or unique as we originally thought. Some people claimed that "creativity" (another rather nebulous term) was a uniquely human trait, and machines could perform tasks tha

Yeah, I think this is now in the "we know it can be done, and how to do it". And also som I think we might have audio2audio editing on the level of Stable Diffusion within a year or two. Based on recent progress with AudioLM etc.

The principles, best practices and tools of safety engineering can be applied to new projects. We have decades of experience now. Not saying it will be perfect on the first try, or that we know everything that is needed. But the novel aspec

Nor one that will enable particularly humane jobs. Manual labor tend to be poor in terms of health, and competing only on cost will be a race to the bottom.

Definitely read up on ML basics if you are going to build anything. And by ML basics I mean the concepts of supervised/unsupervised /reinforcement learning - and in particular model evaluation. It is absolutely critical for any ML

Depends. What is your goal?

They seem to plan to use Snap all the way down. Including for the kernel, if I understood correctly.

Germany has a huge burocracy problem, but not all countries in Europe do. In Norway company registration is done online in around 15 minutes, for a 370 EUR fee. I am pretty sure Denmark, Sweden and Finland are the same. I have registered co

Meanwhile decision tree ensembles are still one of the most performant models for tabular data, with gradient boosted trees particularly hard to beat.

ML is a technology very much like computers, the internet, smartphones and electricity. All highly transformative across all industries and society as a whole.

I would hope developers value their time at least 100USD/hour. So unless the local option is less than 5 hours per year of maintenance, the subscription makes sense.

25% of American have 0 savings, and 8% do not have health insurance. There is a non trivial amount of people who struggle putting 30 USD/month into financial assets.

Repeated UV exposure from sunlight also causes skin cancer. So I am not sure that is the best example...

Audio is editable, but it is a much more rare skill than text editing. Anyone that has completed primary school has basic proficiency. And those that have gone through college or held a job where email communication is common, has may years

It's true for the code. But not always for the system that the code becomes, or for the consequences caused by outputs of the system. Examples: Not all database migrations in production are easily undoable without impacting service. O

This is half reverse engineering (understanding the existing part), and half engineering. The reversing can be quite difficult for less common parts/designs, and is partly a different skillset. But for standardized interfaces like an

Just do that work in the open? Transparency is just as important a feature of an open source project than the project license (or code quality).

I picked gevent for a greenfield backend (in IoT/ML space) back in 2019. No regrets. The main contender was asyncio, which was the hot-new-thing at the time (still is, I guess). At the time, I did not feel that the ecosystem and progr

Very good? Zephyr generally wraps the hardware SDKs for the things built into the microcontroller. And then their own portable drivers for any outside peripherals, like I2C/SPI/Onewire/etc.

That does not clarify your claim about what will happen much. Are you predicting a 20 year pause in AI RnD funding? When will it start?

Your definition of the needs does not have any requirements on the fitness of the output, nor on time spent on customer side. That does not seem realistic.

Very cool! How many images did you use to create the LoRa of your dog? Do you have any guide to recommend?

Of course. But what should the illustrator do today? Considering that there might be a higher risk of getting fired in N months/years from now. Probably refine their business skills. Maybe also get familiar with the capabilities/
