I think you have forgotten the effect that Liz Truss had on the electorate.

yes - but calculating the consine similarity for all the candidates is prohibitively expensive. hence heuristic.

Labour are certain to win the next election. Let's say that the tories threaten the ONS with a sharp cut if they don't "play ball". Here are the scenarios. ONS decide not to do it : leak to the press, Labour promise to

All quantum functions can be approximated with a three layer perceptron, or by arbitary boolean logic. Quantum computers can only compute - just like any other computer.

These words, I do not think that they mean what you hope they will mean.

Yup - and that's the big question for ML... "which valley will this algorithm die on" so far I haven't seen an answer.

I agree, and the fact that someone walked that path has been extremely valuable as well. I think we learned a lot from the cyc effort.

Didn't he: - invent case based reasoning - build Eurisko and AM - write a discipline defining paper ("Why AM and Eurisko appear to work") - undertake an ambitious but ultimately futile high risk research gamble with Cyc?

G6-cgm and Dana Diabecare-rs. We started with the Dana-i but it was glitchy and so we got the rs instead, which works a charm so far. We also use a setter device that talks to the Dana pump when you are filling it up and tells it how much i

well - to be reassuring... we all have a death sentence imposed by birth. As we get older the cumulative chances of it having happened increase, eventually hitting 100%. Cancer doesn't change that - lots of people with cancer get kille

Science is always taken with salt! More seriously - science produces contingent knowledge. Even the results of the LHC are to be taken with some salt because although the greatest and most honest minds of our generation work on them they li

You can quite easily get GenAI to rewrite some code blocks from Cobol to Java. The issue is getting it to do it at scale and reliably. I think it's possible, but I think it's a 10 year research path. IBM will get folks to buy into

For the last 30 years every dev job that could be offshored has been offshored. Now there is an issue; the salaries in India have not caught up - but they have come up a lot. The infrastructures in India bit a lot of people hard in the arse

Interestingly if I were using AI to do this the place I would focus is testing. Coding assistants seem to be very good at generating run-of-the-mill testing, which would free up testers to focus on the once in a decade stuff.

Also your bank. No one working in a bank wants to go to prison; this makes it very expensive to get bank workers to co-operate.

Paris and the surrounding area is densely populated. The rest of France is very rural overall it comes in at 105 per km^2. England, in contrast is almost as densely populated as India (434 per km^2). There are a lot more places to put thing

Nonsense - it stops criminals and tax evaders from doing the things that they do to undermine society.

Oh please - have you been to Holland in the last 10 years? It's paradise. Yes, people with big cars and serial killers are frowned upon. What's not to like though?

Well, my Tesla is much more fun than a boxster to drive - just not as noisy. Also the magic of drivechains is in the magic. Electrical connections and software are much much easier to deliver than gears and other precision manufactured phys

You've got the pattern for LLM's that I've come to as well - LLM's can decode natural language (into API calls) and can encode them (from state and prompts). That's all folks!

YMMV - it's not obvious to me. Almost no team I have worked in has been f2f due to offshoring and geographical distribution of functions in big companies. Only small companies can really do co-location.

I thought that the point of EV's is that there is no drive chain? The issue for the big car makers is that their differentiation is in the ICE drive chain... Making that thing to any sort of modern standard is very difficult, making mi

It may be the opposite. If you are at a national lab and replicate this you would have to do so with a very high level of detail and diligence before disclosing to the press. I am pretty sure that every PI of every lab will be demanding tha

I understood that they have disclosed the process, and are actively advising some of the groups to support replication. However, they acknowledge that the process is difficult to get right and claim that they have had to run it many times t
