There's a joke I first heard in the early 90s: "True AI is 10 years in the future and has been for the last 30." I suspect we'll be in exactly the same place: incremental improvements in LLMs, but the corner case failure

Okay. You want me to delete the prev comment? I think I have a real comment in there somewhere, but yeah, it came out pretty snarky. I think the point I might have been getting at was this might be the result of unfulfilled FSD/robota

Avalara didn't seem to be overtly ageist. Plenty of kids in their 30s. Smattering of tech workers in their 50s. They seem to be off-shoring most of their tech work though.

One thing I noticed from the Sili Valley startups I've been involved with in the last 20 years: exec management's parents went to school w/ the funds managers. I have this theory that there's institutional money burning

The full title was supposed to be "we asked an AI to do something AIs aren't intended to do and feigned shock when it didn't do a good job." As I've always said... AI isn't going to suddenly gain sapience and

i'm a fan of E2EE, but the AT&T hack did not involve intercepting RCS messages. It's sort of like saying "Chewbacca is a Wookie, therefore you shouldn't use RCS."

I would love it if authors would put the date the paper was written in the paper itself. I think that's standard for the iacr eprint archive, but sadly missing for many other disciplines.

I'm old enough to remember when companies tried to make more revenue than expenses and we called that "profitability." But these days there's so much money out there, you just jeep going back to the VC. How closely rela

Having written algorithms for CV and satellite image processing, I can tell you that advancement in the field more or less halted in 2018 when everyone decided to dump money and time into CNNs. I wrote a cloud detection algorithm that would

According to SiFive, the P870 is roughly equivalent to an ARM X2 or AMD Xen 4, so it's about two or three generations back from the Cortex X925. I've yet to see a catalog part w/ that core, but the guys I know at SiFive say t

Yes. They are popular among people who buy arm-based macs.

I don't know why apple passed on kuato (the next version of Siri from SRI.) I think it was around the time Jobs was getting seriously ill.

"I am the best candidate who meets the requirement that I be related to the boss. Our company is absolutely a meritocracy."

It's as if apple had a pair of visionary co-founders who are no longer with the company and the people left are excellent at getting things done but don't have an intuitive understanding of what people want.

Or maybe it's because LLMs don't live up to the hype.

I know Apple is relevant because they have a lot of money. But when was the last time their products were relevant? 2008 w/ the iPhone? 2010 with the iPad? 2002 w/ the iPod? MacBooks in 1998? Most of my family uses iPhones an

"We should absolutely overhaul American education, but if we want to make lives better for millions of indebted students as quickly as possible, the fastest pain relief would come from better educating people..." Definitely agree

All the devs have already put "event driven" on their resumes. They need something new to be seen to be at the forefront of technology. I think we're in the AI hype phase where everyone is competing for those tasty $500k pe

Or... Maybe people who buy these things know why they're buying them and raw horsepower isn't their primary concern.

My testing put the performance a bit shy of an A72 @ 2.4GHz. The U54 was on par with an A53. I thought I saw someone else publish specmarks to corroborate this assertion, but i can't find it right now.

StarFive catalog parts use slightly tweaked SiFive cores. So if you were going to license a SiFive core for an embedded design, you may want to have something that uses the catalog part to verify your code will work. I mean, emulating your
