I still don't get how are they dealing with copyright here. Looks like the ostrich algorithm (hide your head in the sand and pretend nothing happens). Those patches are not copyrightable unless human made. There's a reason why Ora

It would be much more user friendly if there was a way to check the serial of a particular PI and see it's original hardware config, manufacture date, and so on.

How do they define consciousness precisely ? That's where all these discussions tend to break down, if you get accurate enough with your definition you end up saying that a thermostat is conscious in a sense or reach a point where you

Account lockout as the author mentions is the biggest risk on personal accounts. Passkeys just make it harder/riskier.

Apparently it only happens on P-cores, recent E-cores have a fast path for subnormals.

I think the only way for now it through distillation of your own models, which can get expensive fast.

I wonder how (and if) continuous learning models will achieve stability. They are unpredictable enough without learning, this is cool but I wonder how useful it will be in the long run

I like it conceptually, but the main issue for me with reduce is that it's hard to know exactly how the reduction will actually be executed. The FUBAR potential with map and filter is much smaller, with reduce it depends on deep knowle

It would be interesting to have a LUT to exclude existing country flags and turn this into a random flag generator.

There aren't many places where a wearable doesn't get in the way, even an Apple watch it's unusable if you do kettlebell training (I severely scratched one doing a kb snatch). I also stopped wearing my wedding ring because of

Wealth inequality is mainly a statistical phenomena. If you start a perfectly fair society where everyone has exactly the same amount of money and you play a game were people interact and with equal random chance (i.e. each exchange you get

All my serious use notebooks run on Mac OS, my gaming PC on Windows, and my servers on Linux (I do keep an old-ish Thinkpad with Kali for tinkering). The hardware+software combination of MacOS is unbeatable in terms of things like battery l

Learning from stats (AI) has two big problems: it's non deterministic and much more expensive to compute than the deterministic alternative (when available). The strength is dealing with ill-defined problems. This last point is what ma

Logo in Spanish in a C128 when I was in third grade started my journey in software. After a while I was running laps around my teachers and I knew computers were for me.

Anything shitty that enters the context window shifts the entire thing to shittiness. So far this has been my experience on pretty much any model. Context feeds on its output. Once you it goes that road, unless you stop it and give it enoug

That's usually true of all common hash table implementations (when objects don't have a defined order, if they have you can get O(1) average and O(log N) worst case), regardless of language. The O(1) is the expected average case,

I wish they would make one without all the health crap. Drop the sensors and add more battery. I only really care about a few things (besides telling the time): - notifications - unlocking a Mac on proximity - Apple Pay -

Voters are mostly emotional, not rational. The people that actually sway the elections vote by feel. You have to always remember that about half the population has an IQ under 100.

It's a financial strategy, like DeRentas or Autonomy that lease cars to Uber drivers in Latam. Essentially shift maintenance cost to the investors (all of it since in this case there are no drivers to share part of the cost).

It may be like what happened in ResNets using blank space in the image as working memory (because they didn't have any), so they would use non-important parts as a scratchpad.

I think his anger was just a wounded ego. He reduces his argument to an ad-hominem and sleight of hand mostly. His basic concepts are almost supernatural in nature and require a subjective feeling to get it and his reaction is probably more

I kinda am for shorter, shallower content that I'll likely skim over, but this article is a properly written essay and the contrast is just jarring.

Kind of off topic, but anyone finds the "Subscribe to the newsletter" jarring? You're in the middle of a read and suddenly you get this annoying interruption. It makes me feel like the article is no longer worth it. You'

Yeah, second that. I made my office separated from the main house and it's incredible. We bought an old house and did a full remodel and planned for an office and a work kitchen (my wife is a chef) separated from the main house (and ea

Nice, but the camera system is hard to grasp. I cannot turn the camera for the life of me. The camera is always facing north! Edit: I feel dumb now, I needed to click the trackpad to rotate, somehow I expected a two finger drag to move the
