For my interview at Google I wish I had sat with an LLM. Instead, I got this newly graduated engineer who just gave me a bunch of leetcode tasks. I was unable to solve one of them, and even now, years later, I'm pretty sure it was unso

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you! I agree with everything you say in this comment. Although I do wonder how much of that "magic"/"wow" factor was due to me being very young back then, rather than those games actually b

From what I can tell, they didn't release the actual model, but rather a kind of framework for running and training models in a distributed way. The only actual "model" in there appears to be three Dense layers in a "dem

Applying math to a more practical betting situation, like poker, is a lot harder. You'd have to be able to calculate your exact odds of winning given only a small amount of information, without a calculator and without it taking so lon

You could also use something like https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect to first split the video into camera shots, and then grab a single (or average) frame per shot, leading to a cleaner result.

Also, having to boil water in a water kettle first is a minor, but significant enough, inconvenience. It's why so many people now have hot water taps for tea, and use espresso machines instead of filter coffee.

The first vide I see is two neo-nazi guys naked in the shower and singing a punk song.. I can't help but feel like watching these videos is some kind of breach of privacy, I don't think all these videos were supposed to go to yout

I was in China a few years ago, didn't take fingerprints, iris, or face recognition. Just a routine passport check and that's it. I flew from Europe to Beijing, might be different if you fly from the US.

What makes you think they don't have a website? Facebook might very well just be one channel to draw customers to their website.

This is the first thing everyone thinks about before donating a kidney, I think. I think some questions to add to this list: What if your kidney isn't compatible with that of your family member, and they'd have to rely on a strang

Not based on the link, I didn't see anything in that text that I can't do with copilot or which looked better to me than what copilot outputs.

I'd say the killer "app" for the iPhone was the touch-screen. There were plenty of other phones that could be used to make calls, at the same quality for a lower price. Frankly, I still find the iPhone to be way too expensive

I personally use copilot, which is integrated into my IDE, almost identical to this Cursor example.

CSAM is bad, no nuance. Which is why I welcome an alternative that could collapse the entire CSAM market and therefore save thousands of lives. But, this is probably not the forum for this topic anyway. I understand that there are many comp

I haven't tested it, but likely around 170GB, regardless of if you're using only one GPU or spreading it out over several ones.

There are people living in space stations right now? Are you saying rockets are fake or do you mean that we don't have any permanent habitats on other planets? E.g. https://whoisinspace.com/

Seals, Lions, Platypus, Dolphins, and Koalas are also mammals that produce milk for their infants. All of their milk is bad for humans. While cow milk is better for us then the milk of most animals, it's not human milk. So why would it

I doubt anyone is "blindly pursuing" this. There are many alternatives, but they all have their own downsides: 1. Prohibiting products that have sugar content above a certain percentage. 2. Asking the industry nicely to please fav
