"Generative AI" is a misnomer; it's not the same kind of "generative" as the G in GAN. While you're right about GANs, diffusion models as transformers as transformers are most commonly trained with supervised l

If you work on several projects in different environments and languages, and need to check out new ones quickly, it saves a lot of time if you don't have to set up an environment locally (especially if you don't even have the nece

Yes, but not too substantial, or the shareholders have grounds to sue based on what I said above. A similar (but even more complicated) case is currently going on over at Sculptor Capital Management, where former management is suing current

Of course that's true, but what's the point of building a decacorn company just so you have higher chances of building another decacorn company afterwards? If money was his motivation, why wouldn't he spend his time building

No he wouldn't, if the CEO is substantially compensated for a $400B acquisition despite not owning equity that would be fraud. It's the CEO's fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of shareholders, if they take a $10bil c

This is specifically about Asahi Linux, a distro that runs on Apple Silicon (which had no speaker support so far) You're right that if you're missing that context, it's kind of hard to tell just from this issue alone.

Most normal users (aka if you read Hacker News, you're not one of those) don't and won't know about shift and control clicking. A more UX-friendly alternative is to have checkboxes; you can still have shift/control-click

Regarding the recommendations: 0 is to prevent mistakes where you declare a function, but forget to implement it. If that's really intended I like to put a comment "do nothing" in empty functions, even in projects without the

I found A Chemical Hunger interesting when I first read it, but later people pointed out a whole bunch of severe mistakes (eg. [1] [2] [3]). I don't know, I'm not a nutritionist, but the inaccuracies plus all the potato-conspiracy

But if you come to the office, they will have to pay that too. Electricity and internet is not free, even in offices. After all, the whole point of this decision is to equalise the "windfall", as the article says.

The closest equivalent to "AUM" for a company like that would be the market capitalization, not cash reserves, so over 1.5 trillion. Then again, shareholders usually have less risk tolerance with companies than investors with hedg

The correct question to ask isn't "is computer vision enough", it's "if humans had LIDAR sensors, would they use them to cause fewer road accidents".

Regarding the second question, yes, as long as you can train a machine learning model to learn the semantics. The keyword if you want to look into this is Autoencoders.

That might be normal in the US, but in Europe it's very common to take public transport to work every day.

If at peak time only 60% of people are driving that means we saved 40% of parking space at no traffic cost, even if we just park the cars normally! That is significant. I'm also convinced that the peak share of vehicles in use is less

Well, that is Waymo's plan, which is explicitly a robotaxi, that this article is about. If we were talking about Teslas, the self-driving vision for instance would be different.

by n2d4 3y ago
Less traffic and no parking is compatible because there are fewer total cars, as Waymos are shared.
534.
by n2d4 3y ago
I agree, but self-driving cars (in the success case) are something new. More safety, less traffic, no more parking. I could see them make the way to Europe too (I'd love to have Waymos in my rural village, where cars are still common).

According to the article, Amsterdam was still built with bicycles in mind: > At the start of the 20th century, bikes far outnumbered cars in Dutch cities and the bicycle was considered a respectable mode of transport for men and women.

As a European, this seems like an impossible feat at this point. It has been tried, but the cities have evolved in a way where this is just unfeasible. EU cities have mostly been built to be dense around train & bus stations. US cities

In essence, an embedding vector is (lossy) compression. Any compression could in theory be used to make such vectors, for example people have tried using gzip embeddings. Now on how to get a compression vector from an LLM, simplified: Most

You can't do that because recursion is a feature, not a bug. It lets you do really cool things, such as: type MultiDimArray<T> = T[] | MultiDimArray<T>[]; type LinkedList<T> = { value: T, ne
