   I really enjoyed reading that, the author clearly has taste. Reminds me of the hours I'd spend as a kid trying to work out folder structures for my MP3s.

   Your suggestion that embeddings are only meaningful to the (presumably generating) model isn't quite right. You can pass them through any suitable model you like (e.g. a logistic regression, kmeans) and get decent results. You couldn&#

   My brother was given one as a freebie and has another tablet, so I took it off his hands in the naive expectation I could root it and run lineage or such. A humbling experience.

   I'm not young, but considerably less experienced and more of a data scientist, so YMMV. I'm signed up to the Copilot Chat preview so there are two parts to this answer: autocomplete and chat. Autocomplete is great for things like

   Yeah, Copilot is worthwhile. You need to keep an eye on it, I've definitely been sent down the wrong path plenty of times, but all in all it's been enough help enough times. The trick is knowing when to have it off and when to hav

   I've actually had the pleasure of seeing this robot "in the flesh", as it were. The creator's an old friend and a real nice guy. He's got a really fun video with an old Soviet games console I particularly enjoyed.

   I guess depends on the drug and the problem. Daily use of lots of substances, e.g. alcohol, isn't necessarily a bad thing in itself (though it really can be), but if it's to escape a problem then there's a serious risk there.

   IMHO, it's perfectly fine, positive even to escape one's problems with drug use. You just can't do it every day.

    Or, noting the article's emphasis on PR, could it be that the best way to keep your product away from regulators is to turn it into a culture war issue?

    Anything you want to look at over time. A social network is a classic: how a person's connections evolve over time or respond to temporal covariates. Loads of stuff can be expressed as a graph though. I'm interested in natural lan

    Aye, kinder forms of advertising are a common youtube genre. Like videos demoing tech, company made tutorials etc.

    I spent a bit of time working in Tajikistan a while back, and I've never encountered such a vertically integrated country. It's like everyone sits on an organigram that goes right to the top. There will be a very limited number of

    I do a fair bit of work with graph data, nothing fancy -- social networks and the like. I'm starting to combine them with NLP processes, running pairwise semantic similarity search across a corpus and building graphs that way. Seems re

    I saw this yesterday, and IIRC correctly "in mice" wasn't at the end. Well done to whoever updated that. Should be mandatory!

    And my account is literally because login-walls on businesses and services. Does this make me an occasional tourist or business traveller? Not part of the population for sure.

    IRA is also a possibly shady acronym in some parts of the world.

    My comment also in jest. It's this sort of stuff that makes it so good. Nothing like eavesdropping on a highly technical conversation in an esoteric field. Love it.

    I live in a country where this is fully integrated into the police system at a national level. There are two sorts of beat cops: traditional "patrol" police and "security" police, which you pay for. I only discovered the

    I dunno if this got down voted for just being a link, or if it's not "intuitive" enough, but I've always found the Khan Academy to be a great resource.

    I'm assuming this is America? 300 person classes is insane, particular how much debt's involved. I've studied in the UK and EU, and I don't think I've ever been in a class larger than 40.

    I don't think they trained an LLM. This looks like TFIDF on a bag of words to me, possibly getting informative features from a prediction model. Did something similar on the same data at school many years back, but I used the category

    There was this gimmick many years ago of a computer driving licence. An Excel driving licence, mandatory for most white collar work, would be no bad thing.
