You could use that apologist language for any company. If they suck at something just say they are “biding their time” No. Apple is just demonstrably behind. Having terrible predictive text, voice to text, image classification etc isn’t jus

Has the beeper team made statements on this? I was just looking around and couldn’t find anything in my initial search at least

If this was removed by Google and not the beeper mini team I feel like this move is going to make it so much harder for Apple and Google in any future antitrust legislation. Apple was already getting flak in the media for beeper mini, calli

There are so many modern ML components that have terrible or no support in CoreML. Try to do any convolution other than conv2d, advanced or custom activation functions etc and you are out of luck. Exporting from PyTorch leads to all sorts o

Given Apple's track record on anything AI related and the terrible state they keep CoreML that not only seems extraordinarily unlikely, it would take a lot of time to win developer trust and that I just don't see happening.

Am I reading this wrong? They only had validation sets with no final test set which makes the results kinda worthless because we don't know how overfit they were to these validation sets (which can easily happen with any sort of parame

I didn’t mention a thing about ‘percieved slowness’ and it isn’t my opinion it is the entire market’s opinion, I’m a former FireFox user, don’t shoot the messenger: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

by theferalrobot 3y ago
Certainly not but believing that FireFox is going to resurrect itself from a dropping market share of 3% is delusional and the sooner we all face reality the better we can make it. I loved FireFox over the years but he’s dead Jim.

Blink is the de facto web standard like it or not just like linux is for web hosting and both are open source and contributed to by many companies. Firefox is now in 5th place for browser market share and Mozilla is a dumpster fire of a com

Yes thank you. I can put xxx license on a math equation but everyone can ignore it because the equation isn’t subject to licensing regardless of who or when it was made. I believe the same is true for weights (at least in some places, tbd i

I do not think it has been determined that weights are copyrightable

by theferalrobot 3y ago
It is my understanding that you can compare weights and with a high degree of confidence determine what the parent of a model is unless the fine tuning destroyed all the original information in which case there isn’t a huge reason to have f

50 per month? You mean every 3 hours?

Okay that distinction would make sense to me - we know everything was closer together - so what is currently the observable universe was once different sizes but we can’t speak to the grander universe as a whole as having a size in any mean

It is an analogy that is used to describe spacetime curvature though… its the wrong analogy.

Wouldn’t that be more applicable in a universe that wasn’t flat (unlike ours as best as we can measure).

I'm curious about Hebrew as most tools for that online are pretty lackluster.

Would this not apply to tons of procedural generation tech as well (used in plenty of games and tons of movies)? We give it a bunch of elements and write algorithms to do the generation... but we are ultimately not the ones putting pen to p

I think the fairly mild complaining about software trends is fundamentally different than the societal level rage we see fomenting politically on the extremes. I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment though.
