I think there is a big difference in terms of data recovery though. You can't take a compression algorithm, for example, and claim that its "just some statistical analysis" when it can reproduce the original perfectly. Heck,

This is a bit strange as presumably interest rates were raised in the first place to prevent inflation. Turning around and scolding the banks for doing what the government wanted in the first place seems counter productive. Wouldn't re

Unfortunately the old American disease of not ensuring competition and instead passing regulation ensuring monopolies stay in power means the "problem" is not actual solved, and is in fact made worse.

Despite the language, I have a very hard time believing that Zoom is actually trying to train a generative AI on private video calls. If I had to guess this is there so that they can train adjacent services such as malware scanners for shar

Then choose a license like AGPL and no corporation will touch your code. If you choose an Apache 2 license or similar, don't be shocked when people use it as the terms intend. Personally, I will continue to release any code I open sour

People who have lots of children, and people who are prosperous, currently do not care about the future. In fact, it seems the wealthier people are the LESS they care about the future for some reason. If you ask me, people need to be more e

I don't understand how pull requests would help with reviews. Peer review is generally looking at the methodology and analysis, not simple typos or wording that might be corrected by a pull request.

I very very strongly disagree. It's important that researchers get access to diverse data and industry collaboration is often crucial for this. If companies are required to make all their data public they will be far less willing to co

I don't think anyone actually doing NLP research has thought that BERT is always better than simpler methods. Linear classifiers with ngrams, or even better, large margin linear classifiers, are well known to be competitive with things

I honestly don't know why anyone would use this gzip approach in production. If you want to do text classification, really the two options you should consider are a best in class linear model like confidence weighted linear classificat

An artists work is copyrightable, a writers work is copyrightable, an a personal model could reproduce those and also produce new works in the same style. Also, data can be intellectual property without being copyrightable.

There is actually an old argument about whether Computer Science is math or science. The lack of hypotheses and physicality drives the "it's math" camp. I tend to fall into that camp. Most computer science is either math or a

There is no reason to say "every story has two sides." Some may, and you can call that out, but no, not every story has two sides. For example, a report about a new science result, the science is "one side." The "ot

Looking at the article talking about this proposal, it appears that the requirement is actually that it's as easy to cancel as it is to sign up, not that it is "one click." A confirmation box is pretty standard practice in UX

Absolutely, 100% agree. I just wouldn't touch the original LLaMA weights. There are many amazing open source models being built that should be used instead.

It has nothing to do with any sort of feeling. Perhaps you should check your own mental state. It is the same as any confidential data. Logs, readings from sensors, etc etc. If it's confidential and given to a 3rd party through a contr

Correct. Essentially the root of the issue is that the news sites believe that the value is in their article, but in reality for the majority of users the value is in the headline, which the news sites give away for free along with the link
