Imho the first Terminator movie is way more than simple scifi action. It's a a reflection on Vietnam. Structurally, it's closer to a slasher/horror flick -- the action sequences are tense, tight, gritty, sparse. The main char

LLMs cannot be effective therapists because they aren't another human being. If you're going to use LLMs as a therapist you may as well fill out worksheets. It'll be about as effective. A good therapist is good because they a

Don't be fooled. My take is only cynical if I don't acknowledge that there are different types of intelligence. Multimedia, kinesthetic, emotional, interpersonal, spatial, logical... For example: I can write. Maybe I can write bet

Lots of talk here about writing being far superior to talking. This is entirely true. The thing you guys have to realize is that most people, like truly 80% of the population and probably some large subset of sw eng, hate reading and writin

The liver does do this with a substance called glycogen. It’s called counter regulation. It has a store of glycogen, which it will release into the blood stream if BG drops too low. It is a finite store though, so if you exercise a lot (or

And on R&D; the QC bar for software and manufacturing is much higher. Every process has validation testing. So it is expensive both in R&D and manufacturing. Another thing is that these off the shelf CGMs don't really differ in

Everyone should become an engineer. Then we can spend our whole lives working to build stuff. That way, we can prevent anyone from pursuing anything creative, beautiful, or transcendental. Like, I see where you're going with this but m

It looks to me by the marketing copy that the vision encoder can run 60FPS. > MobileNet-V5-300M Which makes sense as it's 300M in size and probably far less complex, not a multi billions of parameters transformer.

The explosive growth of Hims and other side-channel healthcare businesses (using this model -- telehealth combined with compounded meds) is entirely due to the "legitimate" healthcare system's complete and total failure to se

I have more fun reading it as a kind of collaborative real-time sci-fi story. Reads right out of a Lem novel.

Mine's different. She's cuter. On a more serious note. Have these AI doom guys ever dealt with one of these cutting edge models on out of distribution data ? They suck so so bad. There's only so much data available, the mod

My niece weighed 3 kg one year ago. Now, she weighs 8.9 kg. By my modeling, she will weigh more than the moon in approximately 50 years. I've analyzed the errors in my model; regrettably, the conclusion is always the same: it will cert

It's very different. When a cop "thought he smelled weed," he still has to: - detain you and tell you why he detained you - get a prosecutor to press charges promptly, charges which have to be articulated in terms of specific

It's fantastic that right libertarians have the opportunity to own me, a lib. The silver lining to all of this is all of the epic lib-owning that can be done as a result of the destruction of the rule of law. But, by my reading, traffi

Another thing that is troubling is that immigration law is sort of a parallel system to normal criminal law. The rights for the accused are lesser and obligations for officers are more lax. The burden of proof is lower. It's easier to

Humans have more access to the real world. These models have to tokenize everything and put it into words, but so much information is outside of words. These models may well be super intelligent but their intelligence is locked inside of a

The counterpoint is that seeing things “as they are” (which is the mind of a depressed person — ask me how I know) can lead you to not give people the benefit of the doubt, it can lead you to be miserly, unmerciful, pessimistic, cowardly. T

For this, what takes a while is to just tinker and fry components several times. Get a breadboard, get several sensors, try to design something and iterate on your design. Plan to fry sensors and IC's. Also helps to read some basic ele

It’s pretty simple, verify on the employer side. The fact that they are not doing this tells you all you need to know about how genuine this “immigration crackdown”is from a policy side. It’s purely about terrorizing people and expanding th

Efficiency to corporate knowledge? Absolutely not, no way. My coworkers are beginning to use AI to write PR descriptions and git commits. I notice, because the amount of text has been increased tenfold while the amount of information has st

I suspect that these "AI layoffs" are really "interest rate" layoffs in disguise. Software was truly truly insane for a bit there. Straight out of college, no-name CS degree, making $120, $150k (back when $120k really me

If it really is 2x in general, we would have noticed. LLM are useful to me personally as a learning tool. It’s valuable to have it talk through something or explain why something is designed a certain way. So it’s definitely helped me grow

You learn quite a lot by working a regular job and getting a paycheck as a kid. It is utterly baffling that there are some kids graduating college that never worked a regular job. It's a problem that young kids in our modern world do

I dream of this so much. I’ve spent a lot of time in court around juries. It is truly amazing how reasonable people are, how much they listen, and how seriously they take the process. Seeing how regular people acted in jury duty is one of t
