In some companies, “one of your coworkers” have the skills to create & improve upon AI models themselves. Honestly at staff level I’d expect you to be able to do a literature review and start proposing architecture improvements within a

The image is a byproduct in autonomous driving. Successful implementations (Waymo) use lidar, which doesn’t need focal adjustments. If for some reason quality RGB pixels are needed (e.g. for entity recognition) then they will probably focus

You should understand what this is in response to, though. The commenter advocates opacity for the sake of not being treated like a machine. The ideal solution is for people to not treat you like a machine, but things aren’t always ideal.

Do unions work against corporate mergers? I’d imagine they do as they tend to work against corporate interests in general but I’m not that well versed in this sort of history.

As someone who’s excited to see this happen eventually, it’s not happening anytime soon. Combinatorial optimization techniques are far better suited for this and methods created 50 years ago run laps around LLMs

Sure, thanks for bringing it up. Short-range flights should have a higher higher threshold for permitted use in service of the environment. Please, ask more questions.

As an unhired junior, I think this stems from a lack of unions and the ability of the workforce to make demands of capital (e.g. to prevent offshoring or discriminatory hiring processes)

PyTorch is one of those tools that’s so simple and easy to take apart that you feel like you might’ve been able to make it yourself. I can’t imagine how much engineering effort was behind all those moments where I thought to myself, “of cou

There’s a way to talk about this stuff already. LLMs can “think” counterfactually on continuous data, just like VAEs [0], and are able to interpolate smoothly between ‘concepts’ or projections of the input data. This is meaningless when the

Integers exist in quantum physics (e.g. electron charge, spin), which is why I think quantum gravity is important to this argument. Spacetime ends up being discretizable and we can end up having rational valued physical phenomena.

I think the distinction is a little semantic; the idea is that a simulation is anything that can be computed by Turing machine. So regardless of if we’re in a TM that’s being fed weird undecidable statements, the fact that they exist at all

They have some explicit examples of physics explainable by quantum gravity that resolve but are undecidable, n-body thermalization being one. Of course that’s given a sort of hand wavey understanding of quantum gravity, I guess one that the
