This is an incredibly biased article, hinging entirely on the assumption that AI training is fair use.

Because it leads to a habit of getting overly excited about every press release.

I think at that point it’s fraud.

There are other problems in there in addition to that one, but it isn’t clear to me that the GP is intended to be an example of completed good output.

I think that requires the moderators to be willing to do so, both in the sense that they are inclined to strongly moderate the group, and in the sense that they aren’t themselves getting an emotional high out of the ragebait.

For what it’s worth, delivering to the mailroom is typical for NYC doorman residential buildings and probably elsewhere in large buildings. But those buildings also usually have a trolley and will loan it to you for free.

What mechanism do you think might cause that connection?

I think this linited attack surface can work without having to generalize one model to multiple people or keyboards. One advantage of a Zoom attack is that you get “plaintext” shortly after hearing the “ciphertext” if you can get the target

A lot of people who are bullish on LLMs and AI are quite clearly excited to get other humans out of the loop. I think movie execs would absolutely love to get the writers and actors out of the picture, ideally not paid a dime for anything g

Superconductors don’t resemble AI at all in their implications, so this parody falls flat for me.

I thought about this a while and concluded that the right question is whether the repetitions are intended to do the same thing. If they are, deduplicate them. If not, leave them alone to evolve independently.

One of the best ways to expand an incremental game’s gameplay is to gradually automate one layer, while introducing new mechanics in a higher layer. So one’s focus for optimization gradually shifts from older and better-understood mechanics

Since (the public image of) Kafka seems incredibly depressing today, I’m very curious to learn more about what they found funny and what works were read.

I think whitespace handling is a problem, but not the only one. Shell data structures are awful and confusing, so best avoided. Error handling is also subpar, requiring boilerplate for every reasonable error situation. And there’s a constan

But the physical screen is a different screen so any such data is totally wrong.

It’s possible the biometrics are to give the impression that it’s more strongly tied to you individually, even when they state things that make that impossible. I.e. the fine print says “the key is the only proof of ownership” but the buzz

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. I think most people want credit for the original ideas and effort they put in, even for something like fanfiction. And fanfic is already legally very gray! Street artists in NYC selling copies of cop

Nitpick: The five-factor scale (extroversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) both reproduces and makes good life predictions. MBTI and most other personality tests unfortunately seem to be astrology for the sci

Someone who was laid off from such a job and never got another one probably does, in fact, bemoan that loss.

The author's piece makes me think that all PhD students should serve at least once on an academic hiring committee. This would be a very clear way of communicating to PhD students what research universities want from their tenure-t

He also snuck in the claim that alignment means “AI that thinks like a human” which is not at all what people mean by the word.

When writing outside of a terminal, I wrap single-line shell commands with backslashes and space indentation. The breaks are at logical clauses, as if writing a conventional programming language. I find this much more readable than the alte

I think it has too much regimentation to be a good communication device, or even a good design specification. Labeled boxes, arrows, and sometimes color are more than sufficient for diagramming how a design works. The small details in a des

I have no special knowledge of this, but I think the natural interpretation is that “developer email and phone number” means contact info for a business publishing the app.

I agree that ads aren’t the cause. In fact I think they’re a downstream result. The root cause is that the Web doesn’t support any currency but attention. People on social media can cash in attention for self-esteem, but serious content can

You might need to go to DVD for something that old. There are advantages to getting owned DVDs, like the fact that they can't mess with the content later. Music licensing problems are fairly common. For Scrubs Season 1 in particular, t

That's not terribly relevant for Internet applications, because for the most part people deliberately cause the computer they control to download and save copyrighted material to storage they control, and then consume it at leisure. Th
