I've never understood the argument against lidars (except cost, but even that you can argue can come down). If a sensor provides additional data, why not use it? Sure, humans can drive withot lidars, but why limit the AI to using human

Layoffs contribute to the average worker taking a paycut. And we are seeing layoffs even in a market that is soaring. Why do you think that workers wouldn't be affected during a downturn?

I subscribe to this view. LLMs can be tools for thinking, not substitutes to thinking. In fact, I feel that with time, the way we think may fundamentally change, just like how reading and writing changed thinking. An LLM can be an ideal foi

That would be super cool if it works! I’ve also wondered the same thing about activation functions. Why not let the algorithm learn the activation function?

Wow. How I long to be in the position you are! I got burnt out, and then learnt to emotionally detach myself from my work so that I don’t get hurt by things that are beyond my control. But I sorely miss not being 100% dedicated. What I do f

As an interviewer, I tend to be very candid when the interviewee asks questions about the company, culture, role and fit. After all, if the candidate joins, I would be their colleague and wouldn’t want to start the relationship on a dishone

Yeah, the thought of some LLM based hallucinating piece of software moving my files around gives me anxiety.

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. You’re right. Not justifying apples tactics though.

Learn calculus because it is beautiful. Newton had discovered the law of gravitation, but didn’t publish it for a long time because he couldn’t justify how the gravitational effect of a sphere could be the same as if all its mass was concen

Mine is: for most things if status quo is fine, then let things play out. Figure out one or two areas where you need to course correct and invest energy in that. Find as much time as possible for leisure, and don’t feel guilty about it.
