This breaks POSIX compatibility, which is basically saying FU to how a lot of developers expect to interact with an operating system for decades now.

Then there's no reason to ban it. If anything, real meat might surprisingly soon be the expensive luxury food. We humans are pretty good at figuring out ways to scale up complex production processes and drive costs down.

Aren't thunks caching the result?

It doesn't help that many of these characters are not in frequent use anymore, which means that the translation model has been trained with way less sentences involving them. Others' usage pattern have shifted, or they picked up m

In short, it seems to make the Latin alphabet work for Japanese. Perfectly fine if Japan uses it as its Latin-based writing system (discarding the native ones), or to transcribe it for academic usage, but unhelpful as a Romanization , whic

There are not that many of these startups actually. Most use cases of LLM can be backed with a fine-tune of an off-the-shelf foundation model. If you're training foundation models from scratch, you're entering a difficult-to-monet

Hepburn is not equal to the English spelling rules though, which are rife with inconsistencies and exceptions. Even though it doesn't match with how many language's version of the Latin alphabet works, and one might object to that

To expand on your excellent point: the danger to programmer jobs is that one day product owners might be able to cut out the middleman and get the job done without the programmers. On the other hand, being able to communicate clearly with t

And that's why Packet Loss Concealment is only used to fill in the occasional lost packet. That way, the occasional vowel or the end of a syllable could be bridged over. Other improvements exist to prevent packet loss in the first plac

So are compilers and interpreters. The terminology changes, but since we still don't have a general, systematic, and precise definition of what "intelligence" means, the term AI is and always was ill-founded and a buzzword fo

Sadly, I see it even on forums where one might think people have background in technology...

You never can when lossy compression is involved. It is commonly considered good practice to verify that the communication partner understood what was said, e.g., by restating, summarizing, asking for clarification, follow-up questions etc.

That makes sense if the goal is lossless compression. Since JPEG is lossy, it is sufficient to consider the Pareto front between quality, compressed size, and encoding/decoding performance.

I would be very surprised if there is no improvement if the codec is biased towards particular dialects or other distinctive subsets of the data. And we could certainly be fine with some kinds of bias. Speech codecs are intended to transm

by samus 3y ago
This is actually a very technical question since it means the audio codec might simply not work that well in practice as it could and should.

by samus 3y ago
Not really. Any lossy codec is generating data that pretends to be close to the raw data.

It at least increases the amount of precedence regarding the subject. That would eventually decrease the time such trials take.

I don't completely get your point I fear. Using the blob is simply accepting the fact that the cards are hamstrung without it. They won that round. Let's hope that AMD and Intel eventually get it together and come up with products

Nuclear non-proliferation has been a remarkably common policy across most of the world. MAD itself is already insane, but even more so is encouraging more countries to develop nuclear weapons themselves. Taiwan was pressured to give up thei

There is no point recognizing Taiwan as an independent country without Taiwan declaring independence first. The US could technically recognize the ROC again as China, but that makes even less sense. Among other things, it would make the Sec

Recently, development has picked up again though. They basically surrendered and now use the proprietary blob. The Mesa driver supports Vulkan 1.3 and Zink will be used for OpenGL going forward. Now on to more performance optimization and m

That works against small fishes, but it would be a different story if AMD or Intel take part.

Clean-room reverse engineering is specifically not forbidden, and has been successfully done in the past to develop the Nouveau driver. Disassembling Nvidia's binaries is plausibly forbidden, but it would be very surprising if they cou

I don't really agree; the training mission can contribute to stabilize the situation. It raises the incentives to not change the status quo, for both sides, since contrary to most past US interventions, escalating this issue will h

This is not an issue at all because the current rules permit peaceful passage through territorial waters. That broadly means no lingering, no spying, and going straight to the intended destination. Access can be denied for security reasons

That's a better argument :) I'd also like to add that prisoners in the USA lose their voting rights. However, the argument was initially about Taiwan, not about the USA.

None of these criteria qualify. Try again.

Taiwan is the rump state of the ROC, which admittedly survived so far because of US influence. But Taiwan is also not recognized by most states as a country because of China flexing its diplomatic and economic muscles. Many countries also j
