I doubt LLMs will ever replace old-school methods precisely for this reason: > By annotating the data myself I also like to think that I understand the problem much better as a consequence. I’m sure that once we peer into the black box,

I suspect that the revenue increases have more to do with the addition of new users in developing markets rather than actual value added. Once all potential users have been reached, Google will have to actually improve their product.

This is a silly argument. It presupposes that meaningful knowledge about neurons is structured similarly to knowledge about microprocessors, which does not have to be the case since neurons aren’t structured like microprocessors.

I don’t think anyone with financial burdens is spending $500 on a bike and $150 on a kit. And if they are that’s more of a mental issue than a financial one

I think it depends; biking because you need to and biking for fun look very different. IME of Phoenix you could have the cyclist doing training routes in their kit and the crackhead strapped with bags of their stuff pass by on the same stre

An explanation is atonal and objective, the comment said “Having children is just another bucket list item these days.” which pretty obviously implies they don’t think well of the situation. There is some blaming here, and not just on “cult

The best option as always is somewhere in between and depends on context. If you’re Netflix or Walmart, localization is a high priority concern and these sort of things need to be considered. If you’re a N=50 company doing logistics for a f

Normalize writing your own code. If you’re in an environment where importing GetFirstChar from an essentially random person is the norm, this is bound to happen. It seems like some developers write code only if the functionality isn’t provi

When did anyone disavow nuclear? I think the OP’s point was that fossil fuel and co. caused climate change and should be held responsible. How you could infer that they want the U.S. to be poor from that, I have no clue. The only reasonable

You’d better hope your hashmap is bijective, unless you’re ok with not being able to retrieve some data. Though granted the differentiating aspect of a hashmap AFAIK is the hash function.

I feel like there's a more general concept of "bijective index" that subsumes LSHs and cryptographic hashes. When I think of hash I usually think of modulos, randomness, etc. when in general they're just ways of creating

Apparently the eye-tracking is 'like telepathy', according to MKBHD. I feel like if Apple fleshes out GameKit and integrates Vision Pro as a more general input device then that alone could be a killer feature. Imagine having telep

True, but I still think there's some fallacy here. Are we sure that models of the world (i.e. understanding) are the only way to achieve compression?

On the contrary, in those cases, AI fulfilled its purpose to the letter. The closest to fraud AI has done is its hallucinatory outputs. And fair enough, this is enough to hold AI back from being 'it'.
