This feels like an uninformed opinion. Are you saying teachers aren’t fully occupied during the day? That would be news to me. If you admit to teaching being a full time job, what would you rather see teachers not do so they can spend a few

I skimmed this and want everyone to be aware of the danger in articles like this- it sounds like the author is knowledgeable but there are some real conceptual problems. I’ll list a few so that maybe you won’t read this and think that it’s

Oh, I think those are ridiculous too, but they aren’t quite the same thing. All of Apple’s Hermès bands have “Hermès” in the name: https://www.apple.com/shop/watch/bands/apple-watch-herm%C3%A... With this you

I’m so glad there are some people willing to pay over $200 for “a piece of cloth” which I assume is a translation issue but it sounds uninspired- who knew your inspiration for a bag could be the material that most bags are made of? I especi

Dude, are you even trying to argue in good faith? Nobody cares what the King of England would say about this, he's not involved in any way. But the fact that not even the country of Venezuela is denying that they are drug boats is quit

Explain to me in what scenario innocent people loaded the boats up like the ones shown in the video below just to do what? Dodge tarriffs? A boat like that full of cocaine is worth enough money to be worth the trip. A boat like that full of

I mean, if you don't watch the evening news or look for any evidence then I guess you wouldn't think there was public evidence. CBS Evening News has showed footage of the boats [1]. While this isn't ironclad proof (would you

There's a distinction that you either didn't recognize or willfully excluded. It's not that the US is simply "claiming" the vessels belong to a drug cartel, it's that nobody is denying that they were drug vesse

You're probably right about how disconnected the spending vs. revenue is, but I've also seen the entire USA's public debt go so high that it requires nearly $1 trillion per year just to service the interest payments [1]. That

RTFA. That was for the previous round of blocks, and those apps were restored after the offending behavior was removed. The current round of blocks is targeting apps that support piracy even if they don’t have any other malicious behavior.

Sure- so if Apple is doing the same thing Google does but hasn’t had a significant feature update in years, why should I stick with them? They’ve lost their differentiation.

If both major options are doing the same thing, there’s nothing to justify me putting up with Apple’s stagnating product line. Android phones have some neat features, the hardest part is deciding which phone to pick.

I think you might both be right- the author may be thinking of lower cost MCUs only aiming for tolerable ADC performance, while you might be thinking of all MCUs, even higher cost. The RP2350 has 9.2 ENOB on a 12 bit ADC. Sure, you might be

Rigetti, a company with $11B market cap is playing in a smaller league. OpenAI will have that much in revenue this year, and has a market cap almost 50x higher. The hype is not the same.

I’m not saying that AI is definitely here to stay this time, but it won’t be quantum replacing it. AI has cooled in the past, even generating the term “AI winter,” but it’s hot now. Quantum could be big again, but this current wave of speci

Quantum hype will not replace AI hype. Quantum has already had its time of overblown expectations and has cooled off to realistic expectations. It won’t be cool or hyped again until general purpose quantum computing becomes a reality.

I don’t know about the UK, but in the USA the idea of “if you don’t want to be in photos published online, don’t be in public spaces” is pretty regularly upheld in courts. You don’t have an expectation of privacy in a public space. You migh

How about a multimodal model that looks at sensor inputs and decides about what it sees being the actual target and what might be a decoy, and generates guidance commands to the real target? Does that sound like a military application of

Well the post only shows a few seconds of it generating tokens so there’s no telling if this project remains interesting after you let it run for a while.

You can send an empty user string or just the word “continue” after each model completion, and the model will keep cranking out tokens, basically building on its own stream of “consciousness.”

Loops can happen but you can turn the temperature setting up. High temperature settings basically make an LLM choose tokens that aren’t the highest probability all the time, so it has a chance of breaking out of a loop and is less likely to

Masimo only refined pulse oximetry in the 90s, as pulse oximetry was invented in the 1970s (prior oximeters did not resemble the devices seen today). Everything after that has been tweaks/improvements to the base method, but I wouldn
