Im sure this is on their roadmap, but honestly a pre-requisite should be a separate piece of software that analyzes and suggests changes to your error handling. This is a cool proof of concept but almost useless otherwise in a production sy

There generally would be a limit we would reach to probabilistic syllable generators. We would reach some max workable context window, minimize hallucinations, etc. But still they would be extremely useful, even if very different than AGI

I will give OpenAI credit for having a capable product team that builds on top of the existing models. As much as I love Anthropic (the only AI company I pay), they seem to be investing almost nothing in pure product orgs. No way to manage

I have to take the other side than most comments here. Most of the coverage about the Wiz offer called out that this was an odd way for them to end up in - as the founders openly talked about waiting for that $1b ARR since almost day one To

Most of these dont seem like a big deal 1) IF you wanted a device like this to work seamlessly and magically, it needs to constantly be listening/seeing/sending location. Local inference is where this will actually work, and I don

There is an interesting point between the lines here. And I’m pretty extremely on team “a probabilistic word generator is not intelligence” Natural language to sql has been a bit of a flop so far, with plenty of paid and open source solutio

The University of Chicago research was a little confusing. They added a May 2024 date to the top of the official paper, but they show most people moved to Meta and Snap. 2 companies who have been aggressively forcing people back to office a

IF every package in the monorepo is forced to use the same exact version then there would exist literally thousands of these teams, even tens of thousands, which I doubt I don’t really believe if I go to 500 Google owned websites I will fin

The US Python foundational team was less than 10 people. If you think any 10 person team in a 200,000 employee corporation is that critical well I’d have to disagree When their jobs were moved to Munich there was a lot of discussion about h

So buy comments on Israeli MK Facebook accounts? I think the only ones that would move any needle here is Meta profits on DAU and the company being paid to run the bots. You think your congressman goes to FB comments to decide how they’re v

As long as CEOs will try to convince the public/investors probabilistic word generators are a type of intelligence, the need for the biggest and strongest GPUs will continue to show how much closer you are to AGI If they ever give up t

Luckily the NSA, GCHQ, DGSE, ASIO, and FIS don't exist. And if they did, they would never wiretap or hack anyone ever. Darn you Mossad!

So your take is Israel is going to take the US military built port and put millions of Palestinians on a boat? This goes way beyond conspiracy theory Like you mentioned there are hundreds of trucks going in per day but there are also issue
