I just want to say that Tailscale ROCKS. It installed flawlessly on all of my machines (Linux and Mac), and now I can route to all of them wherever I am. It configures DNS correctly, it routes traffic correctly, and all of my internal machi

I thought the same thing - it smacks of desperation at the moment, any tiny win is exaggerated . It’s not hard to see why, with the emergence (ha) of OpenAI, Midjourney and all of this generative modelling, what has DeepMind done? I imagin

The regret of never trying will (eventually) bring you greater sadness than a failed launch. The path of least pain is to launch. Do it.

Overfitting is lack of genralisation, LLMs can produce novel output by using abstraction composition, which you cannot do without generalisation. Other signs of non-overfitting: Abstraction laddering, task decomposition, novel (i.e. unseen)

Yeah but have you seen the leaked slides? It's clear that they have only the ability to analyse 10% or less of the data they are storing . GPT-like systems will close that gap, and then comes all of the problems of automated law enfor
