There will be many scientists, myself included, that would band together to break the cartel if it forms. It's just a matter of money. It is absurd. Any logic shows that this is really about their valuations and being tired of innovati

If you think that OpenAI won't look at your data to gain a massive advantage, you're naive.

The real story here: the priority dispute and its implications on AI. When your hosting provider has unlimited resources to throw at any problem, all they need to know are the good problems, and they can learn that from your logs, how can y

As usual a split decision along party lines. The entire US judicial system has lost its mind. It's clear at this point that judges pick the outcome they want then find ways to interpret the case, precedent, etc. to fit. You can see it

"Flooding" implies some nefarious purpose. There's no evidence of that in this paper. Maybe these agents are finally giving people who could never find the time, resources, knowledge, etc. to engage with the system. "Pub

There is a certain amount of slack that we have. Things that are obvious consequences of what we've already discovered but that we haven't taken advantage of yet. AI is reaping that slack. It isn't adding brand new ideas at t

This animation is worse than useless. I've taught a lot of students. This is not learning, it's stamp collecting. You're just memorizing a nonsensical recipe. What are the constraints? Why do we do X rather than Y? How does a

Ironic that "Reinvent science" would publish such a trash article. Did they even read the original paper? This is not at all what it says. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13169 The "poisonous scientific liter

As someone who has worked in two industries that are at the maximal end of data sensitivity and privacy this comes across as a tinfoil hat issue not a real business requirement. In such cases we've always found ways to trade dollars fo

Every single time any story has the words "Google developers" in it, they're behaving like arrogant, disconnected, anti-consumer jerks. From constant GCP breakage, to not acknowledging obvious Android bugs, to intentionally b

This is too generic. There's some code I need to write like core abstractions that are going to set the pace for everything. Or tricky steps that can look good without actually working well. Then there's the mass. I don't nee

This kind of data-free opining reminds me of the Mythical Man-Month. Yeah, in theory adding more people to a project will speed it up. And all people are replaceable so I can hire 100 bodies for cheap and we'll be done with this projec

This is a shamefully bad paper hyped up to make Science relevant but with a result that has no relationship at all to what's even in the title, never mind abstract. The sad part is, this is going to be used to hurt workers everywhere!

Or it would have moved overseas forever. I can already on the ground see the effect of the Trump policies. So many tech jobs that would have been in the US are being lost. And companies are learning how to be effective with overseas teams.

I've graduated many PhD students at a top tier university. That advisor was correct. What they were doing is teaching their PhD student. You must learn to write good reviews. That doesn't happen without writing quite a few. Of cou
