A lot of value is also created by drug dealing giving out free hits, or Microsoft giving free windows licenses to universities back in the day.

So not a tech company. Fair enough.

That's 800 employees too much. The reason why tech sucks these days is because everyone over hires and empire builds.

>What I'm more shocked is that Google decided they can't build the same thing themselves. Faang is where amazing engineers go to produce nothing of value.

This is literally what body positivity should be about. Not supporting people dying from diabetes in their 30s.

This is quite immature. Proving theorems is the easy part. Getting an intuition on which theorems you need to prove and which you can assume are true is the hard part.

That's bullshit too. I can build a webcam with an rpi that will play CS better than any human and only communicate with the gaming PC through a mouse and keyboard. Anti-cheat systems need to look for movements that are super human, no

Techies are the only ones who can give informed consent and we're constantly over ruled by the risk department, because the glue eaters over there think that a sleek presentation means the saleswoman on the other end knows what she&#x2

Trying to explain to execs that giving someone root access to your computers means they have root access to your computers is surprisingly difficult.

Someone let me off this planet. I don't want to live here any more.

To keep you from staying there for too long and lowering productivity. This was invented after having a foreman check that you pissed or shat in the toilet like they did on a ford assembly line was deemed to expensive.

T5 is not Bert, translation is not embedding.

Yeah, pretty much. When you have 2b files you need to troll through good luck using anything but a vector database. Once you do a level or two of pruning of the results then you can feed it into an LLM for final classification.

That's 85.99% too high.

> Software controlling flight systems in planes is already held to very high standards, but is enormously expensive to write and modify. Boeing disagrees.

We don't know how to make general software safe, but we do know how to make any one piece of software safe. If you're software is going to be used as infrastructure then it should be held to the same standards. If you don't w

This is what impostor syndrome looks like at an industrial scale. I find the best antidote to that is live streams of people like geohot, a man at the top of his game who is an idiot more than half the time when coding - "No! You'

Your user might be another application whose bottle neck is much more expensive than your own bottle neck.

We're missing the open source search engine, but LLM + obscure web pages makes for some interesting reading. Getting a mix up of different ideas is very much what first exposures to the internet were like. You had your towns ideas, the

Turns out robots make for better people than people. Also I remember the refrain that "I'm just text on a screen dude" made more than once on the boards I used to visit at the time.

You can't be everything for everyone. I'd imagine you'd still be using less power than the average JS hot mess today though.

Sure. Assume you're writing an OS from scratch that will be used by people, rather than by servers in a data center. Building the system to be as responsive as possible at the lowest possible latency is what you should do. Even if you&

LLMs are that. When you use tools like perplexity you get the feeling of the internet circa 2004 back. The future is here, currently it requires a credit card to access. You can start seeing how you'd use it locally too, the hardware r

One thing that I learned when becoming a senior engineer is that if the layer above you is profitable enough you should build substandard implementations in your layer that match the abstractions of the above layer. Overall the system will

They are better at separating clusters and keep the fact that distances under the correct metric also provide semantic information. The issue is that training is longer and you need at least 32, and ideally 64 bit floats during training and

Not much to discuss really, I just monkey patched a different metric function, then results for our use case became substantially better after training a model from scratch on the same data compared to the previous euclidean model trained f
