And yet we are told that competition will determine that capital and talent will flow towards that most efficient organisations over time. Thus, surely organisations that eschewed this practice would emerge and dominate? So, either capitali

The people who used to live in the USA disagreed with you. “A long time ago, this land belonged to our fathers, but when I go up to the river, I see camps of soldiers on its banks. These soldiers cut down my timber, they kill my buffalo, an

Yeah - there are colour codes you can use to find the pair that you want to connect, they are arranged in a mystical system of binders. It's like a map.

That used to be the case - but it's rapidly becoming standard to be directly connected to fibre. I believe that something like 60% of UK premises have a fibre connection available and I expect that all the providers will push folks off

I think that they are more radical - it seems like they have implemented a unikernel that supports the database service and their claim is that that's all you need for app dev. I think it looks rather similar (as a component) to someth

The law is clear - Treasure Act 1996. They'd get 1/2 the value and the other 1/2 goes to the landowner. But - no, they wouldn't get to keep the items or dispose of them as they wished.

Really - to state otherwise is just a play on words. Think carefully. Think friend, think.

I choose thoughts - I can conjour images, or scenes into my mind. I can choose not to think about things. In fact, this is a proof of free will. If you were compelled to consider the consequences of your actions then evil would be impossibl

maybe there's a term confusion here - GenAI has come to mean Generative AI (LLM's, Diffusion models..) rather than General-AI. People call that AIG, now people also talk about AIS which I take to mean "human level on a narrow

PRINCE-2 and other methodologies used in these kinds of programs make ample provision for doing this - but like all methodologies the benefits only come from proper application. If the program manager is subjected to political pressure from

Our brains have effects that proceeded language. Look at lions for an example. We are much more (and a little less) than lions in terms of mind.

Simulations are closed, the real world is open. Weird things happen in the real world. They happen all the time and we expect them to happen and hardly notice when they do. Simulations approximate the model that humans use to reason about t

This structure is good for engagements that have long duration (like >3mths) and high intensity.. a lead, an heir and a spare covering a key "role" means that you have continuity if someone goes sick or gets another job. The pr

These are examples and the experimental designs were a particular choice by the authors of those examples - they aren't intrinsic to ML or the ML community.

To use the authors own framework the epistemic failure of this paper is the mistake of identifying the failures of some individuals with a failure of an institution or a technology. The fact that harm can be created by some individuals mean

I think that there is a pernicious impact on many folks because they do "all the right things" and still struggle mightily with their work and responsibilities because doing 80 hard hours of the wrong work doesn't deliver.

Resnet + 16 layers isn't GPT4 but it's not small. I think that the 60fps on a consumer grade card is the win, but that says a lot about the power of consumer grade cards in 2024.

Bayes lets you use your priors, which can be very helpful. I got all riled up when I saw you wrote "correct", I can't really explain why... but I just feel that we need to keep an open mind. These approaches to data are choic

It depends on genetics and luck. The luck part is that it seems that infections trigger the autoimmune reaction that kills the pancreas. The genetics bit is that you may or may not have got the gene from your father. Most people die of hear

T1 needs insulin, some T2 are ok without it. Insulin is cheap to make, now, it is expensive because of commercial considerations like monopolization or investment. In reality any national system worth its salt could produce enough insulin a
