Yes, but black holes are bigger on the inside than on the outside, right? :)

Exactly opposite. Accessing Euro-zone in 1999 has stabilised Spain's inflation at around 2-4%, before getting into Euro it was wild. https://tradingeconomics.com/spain/inflation-cpi From 1997 until 2021 it was a

I don’t know about other countries, but in Poland FedEx is disastrous when it comes to delivering packages. And it’s not so much their last mile couriers, but anything related to the delivery process itself - as if they had extremely broken

The same argument could apply to processing data in the cloud, and somehow nobody complains anout the fact that Dropbox stores their data on AWS/Google cloud or wherever

As for using personal data - EU has it covered. But the whole „facebook listening to you” os absurd - on iOS you would see a system notification that the microphone is active, I assume on android as well. Also, it would take crazy amounts o

Cuda would be pointless for Apple, because cuda is for Nvidia only, no? As for the price - when you get to 32/64/96GB levels of RAM it’s the cheapest setup on the market that can get you this much VRAM. At least that’s what it was

Nothing like any other society. I lived through Communist Poland. Comfortable life for officials meant that they could use stores with stuff from the west (to buy Levi's jeans, Marlboro cigarettes, or perhaps even a walkman - you can g

I tried the last year's pro. We bought two for productivity in the company, hoping for better meetings in remote, colab designing in 3d in AR etc. The hardware was definitely there, but software definitely not. And on top of that, forc

There was an EU ruling on the subject, this year, stating explicitly that you can decompile software to fix bugs, under certain restrictions. https://www.traple.pl/legalna-dekompilacja-programu-komputer... The article is in

Exactly opposite. EU high court ruled that you are free to decompile software to fix bugs etc. Also, in Poland at least, it used to be legal to even crack software that you own for the purpose of making backup copies etc (not sure how it is

According to your definition no program that connects using rest to a webservice is open source. That is absurd. Open Source is defined by a license, not by what a program does. Also, it's trivial to connect such a program to another i

That's true for Europe in general. Considering our history it makes a lot of sense.

Within Polish (European?) legislation, an agreement on use of copyright needs to explicitly state in what areas you are allowed to copy/use the copyrighted work. So, e.g. if an agreement didn't explicitly state that a company ca

Argument "it's just math underneath" is flawed. Photoshop also has math underneath - does it mean that if you use Photoshop, you're not doing a creative process? Also, saying that it's math ergo it's not creati

Wow, that’s a nice use case. Protip with multiple files - you can just upload a zip file.

Important note here - ask for the definition in a separate thread, otherwise if it hallucinated the word it will still keep hallucinating the definition.

Being contractors is Poland - that’s because of the taxes exactly, not regulations per se. Contractors get taxed 19% flat rate and a small% for health insurance (even less in IT - 9%?). Whereas full time workers get taxed similarly to peopl

Language barriers and local markets. 95% startups here build things for local markets and fail to scale to the global ones. In the meantime US startups scale to ~1bn people almost instantly.

EU is also not uniform in terms of language - so most EU companies need to decide whether they go global and start in a foreign (English) language or begin in their native language and risk getting locked in there. I’ve been mentoring start

It’s not the future, it’s the present. You can build it with gpt4-v today.

Come on, OpenAI launched gpt4 in EU in sync. Laws are not the issue, their model being crap at non-english languages is.

One doesn’t exclude the other. Stop emitting carbon where it’s effective, and capture the rest. Unlike pollution, with co2 it’s ok to emit it as long as you capture it at the same time anywhere else on the planet. And yes, in many places it

Commenting on a few points from the article > Don’t be fooled. It’s mostly a distraction from what we really need to do right now: phase out fossil fuels and deploy more effective climate solutions. This is a false dichotomy. I’m yet to

+1. Or at least with no cuts, and more examples. This is obviously geared towards non-technical/marketing people that will catch on to the hype. Or towards wall street ;)

I showed the choice between a bear and a duck to GPT4, and it told me that it depends on whether the duck wants to go to a peaceful place, or wants to face a challenge :D

In terms of AI? Last year? A better question is what wasn't an overpromise?

It won't be available to regular devs until Q2 next year probably (January for selected partners). So they are roughly a year behind OpenAI - and that is assuming their model is not overtrained to just pass the tests slightly better th

It's on par with GPT3.5, assuming they didn't overtrain it to pass the tests.
