No, I mean any user, including enterprise. With some model (not relevant which one, might or might not be Anthropic's), we got safety-limited after asking the " weight of an object" because of fat shaming (i.e. woke sens

Who cares who started this? All four are equally responsible. You can’t vote then say it wasn’t your fault (unless you were literally coerced).

How do you get Whisper to be fast? Isn't it quite non-realtime?

by tomp 3y ago
not sure, I tried this in Python 3.11.6 and `datetime.UTC` works whereas `datetime.timezone.utc` doesn't exist in any case, just compare datetime.datetime.utcnow() and datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).replace(tzinfo

Bad idea. datatime.utcnow() should be the default way of recording & storing time, e.g. in logs or in the database. All other options are strictly inferior. >>> str(datetime.datetime.utcnow()) '2023-11-19 16:46:0

"Gardening leave" just means that during your notice period (or part of your notice period), you're not "working" in the sense of going to the office, but instead you're home ("tending your garden")
370.
by tomp 3y ago
yeah but it used mixed. E.g. I had 3m garden leave (paid, no bonus) and 3m non-compete (unpaid).

I guess bigger and better bonuses in the future? Like, why would you quite and semi-retire for 1-2 years when you can keep working for like 5 years and actually retire? (I'm just LARPing, I have been out of the industry for a few yea

I'd say it's the opposite, non-competes (or similar agreements) actually prevent monopolisation. Otherwise, the biggest firms (e.g. Millenium, Citadel) could simply "buy out" any already-successful researcher, offering

Quant firms have already adapted years ago. Now they don't have 6-24m non-competes anymore, but 6-24m notice periods. You're paid full salary (incl bonus) but you don't work ("gardening leave") and obviously can&#x2

The first bold claim I see on the page is: Deterministic automatic memory management but actually looks like it's neither deterministic (refcounts!) nor actually memory management (deallocating memory can randomly crash the program?!

another question: how do you estimate _depth_ - i.e. the dimension _away_ from the camera? I'm guessing it's the size of the ArUco markers, combined with accelerometer for smoother tracking - but that seems quite imprecise?

by tomp 3y ago
Indeed, that's why I said "coal". If a tree doesn't become coal, it's not storing C for an _indefinite_ amount of time, but for definite, relatively short amount of time. A tree either rots, burns, or is used for ho

Exactly. I probably spent $20k this year on vacations (for me and my extended family). Buy experiences. Money well spent. Not diamonds and other ego-inflating stuff. It keeps the negative flywheel spinning faster and will hurt you long-term

This sounds like a sensible argument unless you think about it for about 5 seconds. In reality, most of those women absolutely wouldn’t want said man to literally burn $3k or even $20k. Absolutely 100% brainwashed.

Sounds like a great way to not spend a lot of time talking to any of them. Precisely why I prefer small intimate events with my friends and don’t want a big event like a wedding.

Very cool! Could be useful for robotics / VR as well. One-camera hand tracking anyone? Question: could you use gyro+accel to track pressure as well? Or at least "taps"? Another question: how much does it cost? in particular,

You're arguing against your previous point. I contemplated the same before. How can I cause maximum panic (not even death!) that would result in economic damages and/or anti-freedom policy changes, for least amount of money/r

Thanks for the clarification! So the "baseline" is Java - is that Java compiled or interpreted? And if the latter, is the non-JIT-ted Graal interpreter compiled (as Java) and interpreting the script, or is it interpreted itself?
384.
by tomp 3y ago
misleading title - both RPython and Truffle/Graal are not interpeters but JIT compilers instead - the connection with interpretation is that they offer (or claim to) automatic construction of a JIT compiler if the user writes an

Sorry but this is just unrealistic. My last job was quite diverse - I don't know the exact numbers, but there were definitely a lot of women (technical staff too! scientists etc.). However, literally all of them were in the "dru

Fossil fuels are essential for maintaining our civilisation. Ignoring degrowth / green propaganda is essential for further progress of our civilisation.

by tomp 3y ago
Fossil fuels caused the greatest progress in history of mankind, and resulted in decimation of disease, famine and poverty. Green movement has spent the last 50 years opposing nuclear power, otherwise we would have decarbonised at least 90%

Yeah both are stupid. Euthanasia should be allowed only after 18-36 months of therapy sessions. Guns should be allowed for all that aren't criminals and/or mentally ill.
