That's just being hopeful/optimistic. There are more incentives to use it for manipulation than to protect from manipulation. That happens with a lot of tech. Social networks are used to con people more than to educate people abou

With AI you can do A/B testing (or multi-arm bandits, the technique doesn't matter) to get into someone's mind. Most manipulators end up getting bored of trying again and again with the same person. That won't happen if

You are defining "reproducible" according to your own terms and I guess that's OK as it appears there is not a global definition right now (check [1][2][3]). But consider that others really expect data and full transparency t

About clothing: that and society tends to mock those who repeat the same clothes in a short period of time, promoting cheap/mass fashion and therefore waste. I would rather focus on upcycling repairable clothes rather than promoting so

I think that a lot of scientific discoveries originate from initial observations made during engineering work or just out of curiosity without rigour. Not saying ML methods haven't shown important reproducibility challenges, but to jus

GPT-3.5/GPT-4 ain't the only LLMs available. A Flan-T5/T5 or Llama2/3 8B models may be finetuning for this use case and used for much cheaper.

Yeah, just what we need. Scams on tinder based off LLMs + fake/stolen profile pics.

Emulators don't necessarily generate code (maybe if they use JIT). They run arbitrary code, but that's other thing.

Moving to Shenzen also comes with cost penalties of many kinds. Bigger penalties than just shelling out more money to local companies.

I think Nintendo cares a lot. In fact I think Nintendo gives so much fucks about its IP (of any kind, not only games/stories/characters, but also SDKs/APIs/console design/etc) that Valve fears any kind of associat

IANAMathematician so I don't know if it's already a discussion, but I think that focusing in these kind of notation improvements would make maths both easier to grasp and more fun to learn. PS: I'm not sure if it's somet

Wouldn't this apply to any kind of numerical or logical model (i.e. a model learned over preexisting data) used in a software solution?

I can use GPT-4 right now. Until I can use Gemini, I wouldn't believe Google a thing.

I guess just one sleepless night is not the same as chronic poor sleep patterns. Also, it's interesting because sleepless nights are kind of a sign in bipolar disorder patients that an (hypo)-manic episode is about to occur or is actua

Just a thought. Hypothesis making may be interpreted as interpolation/extrapolation in a hypothesis space plus some heuristics to reduce that search space based on previous knowledge/valid hypothesis, how much weight you give to s

Not if you're missing microorganisms. In fact, antibiotics may damage your gut microbiota even further. The above is just playing with an hypothesis, but there is evidence (unrelated to this case or autism) that gut microbiota is relat

Yeah, probably related to gut microbiota.

If you are running jobs inside pure Docker containers (i.e. just one node without need for k8s, compose, rancher or whatever), it may be the case you don't even need pyspark.

You go this route of thinking, and eventually you're making OOP/FP programs out of what could've been simple Bash scripts.

Well, it's an engineering decision, so there is no direct answer. But as an engineering manager, at least I must ask and answer the following question: even when nobody wants _slow_ data, how fast is fast enough? I don't see decis

A list of security recommendations about MV(S)Ps created by a consortium of pretty big non-startup companies. The joke tells itself. But seriously, I think the problem is in the name. This is not a set of best practices for any kind of star

Maybe it is ethically wrong to launch in EU without complying with GDPR. But if that is the case, then launch somewhere else first and build towards a more secure product in the meantime while you raise money and gather more insights. Don&#

Yeah, totally. I should've specified "analytical operations", as in, updating dashboards and other non-time-critical data processing that eventually feed into decision making. That's were devs or decision makers asking f

Power is not just about sample size, but also (expected/previously informed by some other evidence) effect size. You can't make that conclusion without that.
