I'm curious what the legal ramifications of adding "this code is not to be used for any ML algorithms, failure to adhere to this will result in a fine of at least one million dollars" (in smarter writing) to a software licens

I thought exactly the same. I will dive into configuring a Raspberry Pi to work with a 5G hat/SIM and will use at commands for this (first time ever). I was looking forward to reading how horrible an experience it will be and was a bit

I think 5G is more of an enterprise technology than consumer tech. For me latency and "campus networks" (or simply the ability to apply for a license to operate your own 5G network in a fixed location) are the two most interesting

Greedily overhired because "money is free" and now cutting down to a workforce size that actually represents what they need (as opposed to forced to cut people even though they would provide value due to severe cash flow issues).

"""The new Belgian whistleblower law only applies in Belgium.""" I haven't read the PDF of the law but from the article it doesn't sound like it is limited to Belgian citizen but only to the location.

This is a U.S. Fortune 500 company but the workers in the sample are mostly (83%) outsourced customer support chat employees working in the Phillipines. My guess would be that there's not a real career path for these employees and the

The study is about an AI support system (a "recent version of GPT", sources link to GPT4, finetuned on internal company data) supporting customer support agents at a software company that provides business process software. It inc

My guess is they are cutting glut, realizing that the free money times are over and not that there's fundamental issues (apart from relying on free money too much of course). I'm a bit nervous about them turning profitable eventua

I'd argue both areas are successfull because they found good ways to solve the data problem and go "big data" and the use case while nice and shiney now is not as relevant. Big models trained on text work, because there'

I have mixed feelings about Latin. Excuse my lengthy rambling about the German school system. In many German high schools (at least the highest or "Gymnasium" level which is kind of a hillarious name if you are an English speaker

I applaud this. The old official German tax software (ElsterFormular) for doing my taxes was the only reason I kept Windows around on some machine. There used to be a free equivalent with less functionality (Geierlein) developed by a nice p

My main "issue" with the paper (which I really like just to be clear) is that I can't completely figure out how they grouped someone as bilingual (maybe that's on me but it doesn't seem very clear in the methods sec

It all depends so much on the tea. There are many, many varieties of green tea. My goto for an "average" green tea is a maximum of 70C and for most other teas (Oolong, Red etc.) it's 95C but the temperature is only one variab

I'm curious why you'd think that. China as a country has many people to start. Some percentage of these people will end up in AI. Assuming people from all countries are roughly equally intelligent, the numbers clearly favor China.

There's probably two reasons for this. The obvious one is that the person is more likely to have relevant experience in some field were they probably identified an issue they are trying to solve. This is even more true in the B2B world

In the case of HP, I think it makes sense from a business point of view. The "big money" in printers is not the printer but the refills. They are kind of the petroleum lamps of IT. One of the biggest problems from the POV of a pri
