AI/GenAI is unfortunately a loaded word. Does Content-Aware Fill count as "AI"? Does using trained data to fill content count as generative AI? There is some nuance here that will be filled in by the courts and companies ove

Oops I made my comment after yours! Exactly my thought. These tech companies could spare 0.001% of their resources to significantly move the needle. Or even host a geoguessr style competition and allow ‘steroids’ use (ChatGPT) during such r

Man this would be a game changer for those OSINT (Bellingcat/Trace an object) style work. I wonder if that has happened yet! There could even be geoguessr style competitions that could significantly help move the needle at least as a c

Brains also have several other inputs that an RL algorithm trained from raw data (pixels/waves etc) don't have: - Millions of years of evolution (and hence things like walking/swimming/hunting are usually not acquired ch

There is no animal on planet earth that functions this way. Visual cortex and plenty of other organs compress the data into useful, semantic information before feeding into a 'neural' network. Simply from an energy and transmissio

Could this perform better by having the internal representation of Minecraft instead of raw pixels? It seems rather tenuous to keep pounding on 'training via pixels' when really a game's 2D/3D output is an optical trick

Britain was not importing. Britain was stealing resources from India. It was beyond slavery. The words plunder and pillage come to mind. USA on the other hand has a completely different problem (perhaps opposite of what you describe - bein

I am curious why dotnet was not considered - it should run everywhere Go does with added NativeAoT too, so I am especially curious given the folks involved ;) (FWIW, It must have been a very well thought out rationale.) Edit: watched the re

Looks like the layers are there for a Tailscale API: I could imagine writing a platform-independent Go 'app' that uses funnel+drive that could 'float' around the nodes. Anyway, a fun problem (or worse, a solution looking

Also, their building up on top of a 'platform' is wonderful: funnel, exit nodes, sharing, ssh, drive etc. I wonder if they can figure out a way to distribute compute eventually via their network (not just clunky ssh): 'my&#x2

It just feels like a smear on his character: Imagine working on RL incrementally without any lofty goals or preconceived evil. I do agree that there is some level of inherent safety issues with such technologies - but look at atomic bomb vs

This is a long time coming. To see through an idea from start to finish and make this span an entire field instead of a sub chapter in a dynamic programming book. I wish a lot more games actually ended up using RL - the place where all of t

If a person is careful and sophisticated enough to warrant GLP-1 drugs, they probably weren’t the ones that were binge drinking and DUIing and doing careless things in the first place. There are a lot of people who are sitting in front of a

Great to see this every year. Although a minor pet peeve (knowing this is free): I would have loved to see a 'in-use meter' in addition to just 'the drive was kept powered on'. AFR doesn't make sense for a HDD unles

I recommend reading George Saunders - probably the best living short story writer. His way of writing is both out there and grounded at the same time. Not much sci-fi (if anything it’s whimsical) though. His collection Tenth of December is

I did. Most of them if not all have tried it once just out of curiosity. None of them is using it on a regular basis- not even once a week. Maybe I am in the wrong group? Includes family / friends (non tech). Tech people (friends) use

If someone could do the same with Xamarin/Maui that would be awesome! It’s going down the same path unfortunately as Flutter did. Microsoft has de-staffed and deprioritized Xamarin/Maui to a point most of the folks are in Aspire-d

There are a few privately owned companies that amaze me: JetBrains, Valve among the top. Somehow they have a much better value/user and make reasonable decisions: counter intuitive to investors/shareholders but insanely intuitive
