Speaking as long-term (>15 years) user of Postgres in science, I am getting worried about the lack of columnar type of storage in Postgresql. As the datasets become bigger and bigger, the limitations of PG's storage are becoming mor

Seeing the words "recursive self-improvement" I was expecting something else from the article. E.g. how the transformer architecture or agent design is being changed/improved through LLM automation, but the article mostly tal

When the consciousness itself not understood and well defined in the first place, it is pretty pointless to debate if something is or isn't conscious. And here in particular the reasoning behind the argument is bizarre. Decomposing the

I guess you are happy with this: "Staffers there who may be political appointees and not necessarily subject matter experts sometimes ask for substantive changes in the research."

In my understanding some index funds i.e. FTSE Russel ones will include spacex with the weight based on the floated stocks, so in practice the weight in the index will be small enough in All Cap etc indices. So I decided for myself it is no

I simply don't understand why leveraged buy-out(LBO) is allowed in the first place. It is like paying for the company with the money from the company you are buying.

It is false for the UK. The whole system of US of needing to leave the country to even renew visas is absolutely bizarre and does not have analogues in most other countries (at least EU/UK)

The country elects an autocrat who fires experts and puts stooges in positions of power. Surprise-surprise that leads to idiotic policies, some of them mimicking the best hits of Soviet Union.

I believe that AI is truly revolutionary, but I struggle to feel sympathy to these large companies who (while building tremendously powerful tools) also work on extracting as much money they can from users, potentially making millions of th

The problem is not the brick price, but extra regulations, controls that they are followed etc, plus the fact that now instead of say 10000 identical bricks for one house you need 9999 ones + one different. I simply think the priority shoul

I think reverting is not problem per se, but releasing a highly problematic version without proper testing in such an essential component is.

I think it is an interesting question what kind of programming language one needs for an era of agents. It is clear that the programming language that was designed for humans is not necessarily the best for AI-driven software development. I

The search in Gemini app in the browser is so embarrassingly bad that I get an impression that nobody of importance in Google must be using it otherwise they would have fixed long ago.

Since the latest Android update, it seems that most of the android phones lost the ability to access the Microsoft O365/exchange mailboxes in Gmail. It hasn't been working for a few days and still no news from either Google or Mi

The reporter took time to check and mention on their website specific distributions Ubuntu/RHEL/SUSE. One would have thought reporting to security teams of at least those would be responsible.

It is cool. I find the idea of trying to understand whether these types of models can come up with things like General relativity, or maybe some results really interesting.

One thing that I find interesting when thinking about colour perception, is that even if two people agree that a given colour is red, there is no way to know (as far as I am aware) that they actually perceive it in the same way. Maybe the b

In the last couple of weeks, seeing all the announcements of new models by OAI, Anthropic and Chinese companies I was thinking if Google has something up their sleeve, but this news suggests otherwise.

So how likely is that these compromises will start affecting the non-cli and non-open-source tools ? For example other password managers (in the form of GUI's or browser extensions).
