From my experience it's better to just consider performance from the get-go, and carefully consider which tech stack you're using and how the specific logic / system architecture you've chosen will be performant. It&#x27

That was because there weren't any automotive grade screens of the size they wanted already being supplied to OEMs.

Yeah I'm not actually implementing anything but I'm curious about the common coding puzzle of "swap two numbers without a third variable" and what that's actually solvable in a non-platform specific way for signed i

That's why you split it 3-way into train, validation, and test datasets, to ensure you didn't use too many hyperparameters and overfit to the validation data.

Markov chains, like any algorithm, are hard-coded. And just as evolution hard-codes our genes, supervised learning (and in the future reinforcement learning) hard-codes LLMs and other AI models.

The problem is the false dichotomy in thinking that a fancy Markov chain can't contain intelligence / knowledge.

The author is saying ! ∃ ∀ and selling it as ! ∀ ∃. He's the one scamming. AI researchers are rather upfront about the need to use fine-tuning and prompt engineering for current AI models. As to random forest models, wasn't the wh

The fact that there are edge cases is actually part of what worries AI doomers. We'll be deploying these AI systems to non-critical areas where they can still do a lot of damage.

Well, that could just mean other goods are getting cheaper (in real terms). The actual issue is if returns on house prices outpace wage growth.

The author's whole approach to AI is focusing on the supervised learning aspects of AI but ignoring the likelihood that future advancements in AI will come from reinforcement learning - much as how AlphaGo was first bootstrapped on hum

I’d limit the carveout to trucks with a certain minimum bed size. If you’re using most of the space for seating instead of a cargo bed, you aren’t actually using it as a utility truck.

I take it you think OSHA was a bad idea and we should go back to the level of worker safety that was seen at the height of the Industrial Revolution?
677.
by ummonk 4y ago
Yes, we do. It’s AI accelerationists that are the ones demanding special treatment of being able to deploy potentially dangerous technology without any regulations and without doing any work to verify and demonstrate it is safe.

I blame car manufacturers partly for not even trying to make the minivans cool though. Look at the current generation Sienna (especially the XSE trim) for how to make a minivan look cool - it has some awesome swagger

They're often conflated as "crossover SUVs" both by car manufacturers and by the media. E.g. if you search for something like "best SUVs of 2023", half the vehicles listed in the resulting articles will be crossover

by ummonk 4y ago
I assume they aren't counting crossovers as SUVs here? Because crossover front ends more closely resemble the front ends of cars than they do those of trucks.

Suppose someone with 1 hitpoint actually transformed into a unit with less hitpoints - should they then die? Seems to me the fix should be to represent hitpoints as integer values, and round up during conversion.

You're assuming that manufacturing growth has to be primarily export-led, as China's was. But that wasn't how many of the other industrialization success stories kicked off their manufacturing industry - they did so by starti

As the article points out, PPP adjustment is misleading. Since GDP is disproportionately contributed to by higher income / higher COL urban areas, but PPP adjustment is made based on the average COL (thus mostly weighted based on rural
