Skill issue on the manufacturer's part. I live in a studio and never hear the fridge. This is part of a fitted kitchen, though, but I doubt the panel hiding the fridge makes that big of a difference.

To me, the issue seems to be that we're training transformers to predict text, which only forces the model to embed limited amounts of logic. We'd have to find something different to train models on in order for them to stop hallu

My bet is on banning the pill and reversing the sexual revolution. We probably don't want to do that. Frankly, I don't think we need to do anything about this problem. Evolution will work its magic and in a couple of hundred years

The fact of the matter is that of the voters who care about AI, the most vocal ones vehemently oppose it. Sabotaging AI development is a feature, not a bug. This regulation might well be an attempt at appeasing the faction that wants to ban

I don’t think this is uniquely Canadian. And it’s usually semi-rational, if you really hate dealing with switching. Most cheaper subscription providers will give you a good deal at first, then jack up the prices when they’re bought by a maj

The Hitler salutes and the endorsement of Trump were the final straws. The scuba diver thing and the incessant false promises laid the groundwork. He’s left the tribe of reasonable people. So yes, not in my tribe. He’s funded some cool work

That's different. Last time I checked he's not arguing that he didn't know, but that the regulations are ridiculous and should be changed. Which I think is completely legit. The German economy and everyone who works in it wou

Yeah. Knew a guy who used to say open source is for poor people.

Governments don't generally get Bob from accounting to install it on a spare laptop they have lying around. There's a contractor involved that will also be tasked with fixing bugs and other improvements and change requests. As lon

Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia are switching to OpenTalk for teleconference. It's really wild to see things actually happen - not just research grants and talking.

I wouldn't say so. Nvidia bet on machine learning a decade or so before AMD got the memo. That was a good bet on Nvidia's part. In 2015 you just had to have an Nvidia card if you wanted to do ML research. Sure, Nvidia did hand the

Can anyone share how this is used in practice? Somehow I imagine implementing numerical optimization often fails due to the usual problems with data-driven approaches (trust, bad data, etc.) and ultimately someone important just decides how

Yeah, that's unironically cool, but I don't see any customer success stories or any mention of big corpo/gov customers. The quantity and security of funding that long-term contracts bring leads to different outcomes than a su

Wake me up when governments actually start writing checks. I bet the ICC will stay on Microsoft because doing anything else would be difficult. All anyone in big org IT knows is Microsoft, and no one wants to change.

This does seem like a superior way to build elevated rail. Less noise in particular, as turning doesn't induce slippage like on a normal train. Wonder why it's so rare.

I think Veloren has a sort of dynamic economy where NPCs trade in and consume goods. Well, maybe not NPCs, but at least settlements as a collective, or something like that. I'm unsure of the details, but I remember prices being differe

It's the other way around - everybody wants to create products with mass appeal and have low marginal costs and print money. The people who can't manage to do that go the consultancy route and add "contact us" under thei

Mistral lags behind on model quality. Seems like they want to focus more on customization and customer relations. If they had a leading model they'd probably have transparent pricing.

That's bizarre. Anything open source and locally run is fine, imo. Windows and Mac are pretty problematic, though. Same with all the security processors on modern chips.

Greece is also like this. I think it’s wild. It’d be okay if they had bidets, but they don’t.

I too did this (although on a small project), and I was incredibly impressed. My problem with it is that I first did it myself, and it was fairly quick and easy. The hard part was figuring out that there was a bug, and how exactly the bug b

The Slack thing is a feature. Each org can have their own theme. Don't understand why it's desirable that everything has the OS theme. Some people spend 8 hours per day in Slack. Having it look a bit unfamiliar the first time you

It's more of an ethical question. Were the people who voted for Hitler bad people because they voted for a bad person? I'd argue that they were. You can't just vote for a horrible person and then say you had nothing to do wit

Isn't a lot of the appeal of Trump that he does not owe anything to these power networks? Others in the Republican party may do so, but Trump has the Republican party well under control, and so doesn't have to listen to anyone. Tr

Maybe. But I wouldn't diss better languages, linters, and other tool inprovements. These systematically increase quality at very low cost. It boggles my mind that the whole industry is not falling over itself to continuously embrace be
