It's interesting to consider how much of this advice OpenAI violates. They spent years doing relatively derivative work in a well hyped space with lots of big companies that were in fact competently executing on a big technological tra

It's not that seamless. We've been trying it lately and the onboarding process is still pretty bureaucratic. Like, having to give an age rating to a zip utility doesn't make anything better.

Almost nobody works with DirectX outside of game engine developers working on low level parts of the renderer, and there are probably only a few hundred of those worldwide. That's why the new generation (dx12, metal, Vulkan) are so pai

Yes, going via the store fixes some of those problems but introduces others. In particular a lot of corporate users have it disabled and of course they have a lot of arbitrary policies. I didn't know they had dev support if you're

Within its own rules, yeah, it's pretty great. Very high performance, huge feature set, everything is configurable and transparent, relatively non-buggy, clean code, runs on everything. If you want stable driver APIs that allow you to

Yeah, but this is one of the flaws of the study methodology. Many of the sentences being given to the LLM to classify aren't really meaningful on their own so the LLM/human labeler then invents some secondary assumed meanings that

Well, most of the examples of the paper are examples where I agree they're linguistically ambiguous so I'm not sure what I'm talking about is so different. The John and Anna example comes from the paper. Maybe I'm being

I do understand what you're getting at, more examples aren't required. What you're arguing is that if someone says one thing but actually means something else, that's ambiguity. What I'm saying is that this situatio

I imagine lots of users will just run Win10 unsupported at that point. I'd be happy if we could assume it vanishes at that point but seems unlikely. The issue is that a lot of their security strategy is inherited from UWP. So it's

Yes, though perhaps the word trained makes it sound more deliberate than it is. I think it's more that rational thinking is hard but schools teach people that it's easy: just attend, get a fancy bit of paper and now you're ra

Yes, exactly, that's the problem. They're trying to mechanically evaluate individual sentences or even fragments of sentences, the AI is asked to rewrite it and then hallucinates some context that wasn't actually stated. Then

Ambiguity is an aspect of language and how it's used, not what random people may or may not inferred from a statement. It's possible to be perfectly unambiguous, and still have some people get upset about things that you did not

I'm not sure how that rebuts my point? macOS has a much lower number of CVEs than Windows. But there's a lot more to security than CVEs, and my post was about issues that CVEs don't track. BTW Apple marketing isn't what

It's irrelevant. They've been trying to do those things for years but their ability to execute is completely gone. Their efforts to improve things just make stuff worse. To name just a few examples: they want all code to be signed

The Windows kernel really isn't that great by modern standards, neither codewise nor architecturally. And yes I know a lot about it. There's a LOT of weird stuff lurking in there, and a lot of features they've added in recent

Disagree, macOS is way ahead. Windows code signing is a half-implemented joke that doesn't do much and apps can easily tamper with each other at will (unless they're installed using MSIX which not much uses), whereas macOS code si

I think what they mean by ambiguous could itself be considered ambiguous. Let's view this from the context of a classical AI problem, trying to be as neutral and computer-like as possible. In that case, the statement is not ambiguous,

It's such a pity that they chose to use PolitFact as labelling "experts" in one of the underlying datasets. Given how extreme the political bias in academia is they should really know better than to try and make claims about

Swing is pretty nice UX these days actually. Try the very latest IntelliJ in "new ui" mode, it looks modern and has an incredibly productive UI with tons of keyboard shortcuts, specialized widgets, etc. The API is a bit old now, b

Most web apps don't use human readable text. It's all heavily minified and the textual nature is just pure downside: slower and harder to parse than binary, more bloated, harder to implement.

Not now but in the beginning they were. The first version of HTML was basically just a hack that glued an SGML parser to the NeXTStep text view control. The web didn't support inline images because the NeXTStep control TBL used didn&

It got less precise. Look at the range of ECS estimates. They are now wider than they ever were. It's quite the controversy. Even guys like Hausfather and Schmidt are sounding the red alert over it.

No, the jury would not have found it defamatory if it were true, which it was. The cases were dismissed without evaluating the science because of Mann's behavior. The people he sued wanted to just get on with it and debate the science,
