I had a 16' m1 pro until July when work had an M3 with 2GB more ram going free and I thought it would be smart to take it, in the past when I had had a three+ year old machine and upgraded everything was super better.. but this time I

I am on really shaky ground, but I think that they are representing "uncertainty" in the QC sense per event and that they claim that over the totality of the events this then represents reality better than stochastic sampling. But

I like the idea of this but I worry about the applications. Am I alone in reading "Agents, however, understand complex queries and are able to fetch and compile the needed data quickly." and thinking "bullshit". The fact

>That isn't the case. Aging has very little to do with our issues. The amount of revenue generated by people in their 30s is nowhere near enough to pay for the state as it is. The biggest marginal increase in sickness benefits has b

My analysis is that if 55-64 year old were as economically active as 45-54 year olds the deficit would disappear. The way to get this to happen is to stamp on age discrimination, provide more retraining, improve pension incentives, and tigh

But whatever happens the uk will not lose tax income from these people. Yes, they will not buy expensive property. Yes they will not buy designer goods... but if they leave will the impact on the average citizen be at all significant?

Size and range. Strike drones have to be able to carry a fairly large warhead (or are only good at hitting people and not things) and they have to fly quite a long way to get at things like reserve assets and logistics. So they are quite bi

One approach is directed energy, there are laser guns like the UK's dragonfire (there are many others out there too) however these have problems in dusty or foggy conditions for obvious reasons. There are also microwave effectors which

Compare and contrast to the recent collision of Chinese combat ships around the Philippines - much more severe damage, much less severe outcome. Someone needs to take a very hard look at this.

I wondered if anyone would point this out. England's population has risen 25% in my lifetime. Worse, the (perfectly adequate for this level of population) water infrastructure in in the wrong place... It's all in the North East in

There's something wrong with your friend's model 3. If I stand on my accelerator it goes straight (if set straight) and the suspension (set on sport) is hard. It's not M5 BMW hard, but it's hard. I guess that if you have

EV's look like EV's because they don't have the same constraints on space that ICEV's do. There is no engine in the front/back, no water pump, no oil pump, no water cooled radiator, no starter motor... so on so on.

Could you produce some evidence that what you are advising is actually useful?

by sgt101 1y ago
Like the OP article, no data, no evidence - random ideas presented as advice. I mean, could you even do some anec-data style before and after comparisons? Like, do 5 problems with no explicit request for tests and 5 without and show that yo

There's quite a lot of interesting literature on this. Unfortunately the best work looks at Polaroid [1] rather than Kodak so I'm on slightly shaky ground, on the other hand I think that if Clay Christensen can point at Kodak as a

I'm sorry but people who let an agent run on prod deserve what they get. Basically even saying you would do that should disqualify you from working in IT in the way saying "I like to drink when I'm working" should disqua

A big dynamic in this is that the business models for two of the biggest players are at stake. Google is facing a significant danger that its search advertising business is going to just disappear. If people are using AI to find stuff or ge
