Bluesky is having some degraded performance due to "record-high traffic" (according to them). As a casual user, it's noticeable how many people are posting now.

I highly recommend the interview with the author on The Gradient podcast. A wonderful conversation on language, culture, and LLMs: https://thegradientpub.substack.com/p/ted-underwood-machine-...

With embeddings you can compute distance. The questions don't have to be the same, they just have to be sufficiently close. Regarding context, that should be a part of the input for the embeddings.

It is, because saying "executive branch can simply borrow money whenever it sees fit" makes it seem like the executive has unlimited power to spend.

Most other countries allow the executive branch to simply borrow money, not whenever it sees fit, but when it is required to execute the budget approved by the legislative branch. That is an important distinction.

Not GP, but my native language doesn't have an "it" pronoun, just he/she, so my use of "it" is always inconsistent. May be the same situation.

No. It could have prevented some banks from owning them directly, and that could have cointained their growth, but we don't know really. Crisis would happened anyway for sure, but the scale could have been smaller. But it's hard t

We don't know. Glass Steagall Act doesn't really deal with the fundamental problem with 2008, which was at its core an error in measuring potential risk of new finantial products. It could have prevented some of the worst impacts

There isn't an obvious unsupervised problem to train medical imaging with. What's the medical imaging equivalent to "predict the next word"?

Honestly, how many serious use cases require sensitive contexts? Most enterprise uses will require guard rails, and that's where they'll make most money. OfficeGPT will be huge in the corporate world.

It's not a pyramid scheme. A pyramid scheme can only continue it people keep putting money into it. SVB didn't need more money coming in, they just couldn't handle money coming out.

Now imagine the government having the power to do that on every vacant property. Not just state-owned: all private-owned but vacant properties could be forcefully rented.

by rjtavares 4y ago
I'm fine with additional taxing of those houses, but having the state take over the renovation and renting processes is a recipe for corruption (which, given Portugal's recent history, makes me think it's actually the real pu

I heard a few hours ago António Costa talking about it on RTP (state television), and it's in this document: https://s3.observador.pt/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/16165400... (as ARRENDAMENTO OBRIGATÓ

Well, the party in government has a majority in parliament, so they can just approve by themselves (and there is no history of members of the ruling party voting against any government measure).

The measures announced are far more ambitious than this article suggests. The one that will cause the most controversy is the State taking over unused housing, making improvements if needed, and then renting the properties (with the money g

I'm not being condescending at all, we've learned that the value in AI is in the applications. If you think government should regulate the field, it should be to make AI Models a commodity, like electricity.

by rjtavares 4y ago
Small players should focus on applications of this tech. We now know that whatever AI Models succeed in the future, they'll be trained by a huge company and finetuned to a specific use case. Small companies should be working on use cas

Definitely Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast, which just wrapped up. I recommend you start with the French Revolution (season 3). Another favorite of mine is "Fall of Civilizations". It takes the almost-audiobook approach of

It's not the typical HR pattern, but there are some genuine oblivious people that amuse me greatly. Like you said, the best ones are masters of poker face: polite and toned-down.

by rjtavares 4y ago
As someone working in HR for the last few years, this is the most correct take. I would add that people working in HR - like any other area - have their own goals, and you should also take that in consideration. Sometimes they don't al

The "Tides of History" podcast recently finished a whole season (100+ episodes) about Prehistory and the Bronze Age that goes deep into these types of genetic studies. Fascinating stuff, definitely recommended. One highlight for m

I can understand that, but the solution can never be privatize the police - that is just giving up and formalizing the unfairness.

by rjtavares 4y ago
Equality before the law is a basic principle of Democracy. A privatized police will not, by design, apply the law equally to all people. That's unacceptable.
