It's these extreme implications why I, as a gamer and software dev, haven't signed the initiative. A lot of these things are just not feasible. And it'll be so much harder on the indie devs than on the Bungie/Blizzards.

It'll always be 20 years away until it's here. Will that be in 20 or 200 years, who knows.

Avoids vanishing gradients in deeper networks. Also, most blocks with a residual approximate the identity function when initialised, so tend to be well behaved.

I always tell people to trust the LLM to the same extent as an intern. Avoid giving it tasks you cannot verify the correctness of.

When I was at Amazon (pre covid), Eider could've been used for that. (Hosted notebooks with IAM integration.)

I do agree with you in that I say "shampain" instead of "champann" (champagne) when I'm speaking English instead of French. Language is a tool for communication first and foremost.

Same thing, but ASR is the 'official' term for it.

I was thinking in a different direction. Maybe we can fingerprint the turns or other jerks/shakes along a route. Accelerometer Shazam.

At my uni, you could prepare a written answer. The professor would read your written answer and ask follow-up questions.

As a student of the previous generation, I much preferred exams with an oral defence component. Gave an opportunity to clear up any miscommunications, and I always walked away with a much better estimate for how well I did.

I used to search in English to get more results. Short-term, I might start searching in my native tongue to get less results.

Depends, shipping part of it (just an encoder or decoder) could still work.

I get not wanting to redesign everything for portrait mode, but a simple "This page was mainly designed with desktops in mind, please turn your phone to landscape" would've done the trick just as well.

> That being said, I am now finally at the stage where I can go on a day trip to Amsterdam and the locals don't speak English back to me when I speak Dutch. :) That's seriously impressive. Dutch is my mother tongue and they sti

I don't. And I don't actually know many people with iPhones apart from my parents who've been buying everything Apple releases since the nineties. There seems to be a big difference between the US and the EU here. (FWIW, I l

In Belgium, I've noticed a general "de-servicing" across industries. - Bank offices (and ATMs) disappearing. - Post offices disappearing. - Customer service disappearing (phone especially) in lieu of the always useless "

You can also use the touch pad for aiming. Or turn on gyro only when touch pad is being touched, which is useful for micro adjustments. Pretty customizable, although I mostly just use the sticks. I played Prey and Tiny Tina's on the De

For me, the main issue is the potential of POI/confidential information being leaked. I think it's fine using "usage data", but the contents of a private conversation should be considered to be... private. LLMs and gener

Why don't they just migrate everything to iCloud for you? This is a very clunky deprecation path, and people *will* lose precious photos because of this. Badly managed.

My banking app and my work's email/calendar disallow jailbreaks so that makes it a pretty tough sell these days.

Yes, look up "chain of thought prompting". It's also been shown previously that asking a model to write down its chain of thought improves the accuracy of its answers. See https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/0

Same feeling. I initially passed on the offer because I couldn't work remotely from my country of choice. They later contacted me when that'd changed, but I'd found another job by then that I was happy with. (Plus, the whole

If it's any consolation, I grew up in a well off family, and had a single pair of somewhat smelly gym shorts. The swimming trunks argument still holds though.
