> If you want to limit yourself to 36 unreviewed shots, you can do that with digital too. I’m not sure that’s true. At least, not nearly as hard-constrained as with film. I agree with your broader point, but let’s be completely honest. D

I would love for you to be right. Unfortunately in many cases the “windows” decision is made by C-levels who barely understand what you are talking about (or if they do, pretend they don’t to save their jobs)

I'm not sure why we're so focused on filtering what gets into arxiv (which is an uphill battle and DOA at this point) vs fixing the indexing , i.e. the page rank of academia. Google "sorted out" a messy web with pageran

Why set the bar higher on generalization for autoresearch vs the research humans generally do?

The writing is on the wall, so to speak. The number 1 ask from the interviewed cohort is « professional excellence » It is telling about what we prioritize in our society. I am usually an optimistic person, but I struggle to see how this do

This is great. I'm wondering what led LinkedIn's language to become what it became. Was it "pure self-evolution" among humans who naturally evolved to speak "LinkedIn", or did LinkedIn add an explicit term in t

That's a different situation than the one I had in mind. I was assuming a sane culture that balances shipping features and quality work. What you're describing sounds like a serious value function mismatch.

Shipping “quality only” work for a long time can be stressful for your colleagues and the product teams. You’re much better off mixing both (quality work and product features).

Local AI is what people want/need, but centralized AI is where the investors' money is flowing, because a walled garden has always been easier to turn into a cash printer.

It's pretty common in ivy-leave US universities (which is what the article is biased towards). There, you only have to TA a bit and you certainly don't work for the uni or the dept.

This is very good advice for a few reasons: 1. It reduces the odds of missing a key reference in your papers and accelerates the write-up of the (often mandatory) Related Work section 2. It helps you maintain a mental map of the field as yo

Your point is valid in many ways. The picture can be a little brighter. The PhD path does not have to be an all or nothing. 1. You can hedge your bets by submitting your work to various conferences of various qualities (without going 3rd-ti

Unlike your other examples, a face embedding is PII (it is designed to uniquely identify a person). So you are storing PII.

The term LLM is confusing your point because VLMs belong to the same bin according to Yann. Using the term autoregressive models instead might help.

by whiplash451 7mo ago
A fair amount of negative comments here, but Yann might very well be the person who brings the Bell Labs culture back to life. It’s been badly missing, and not just in Europe.

Your setting is off cloud media until the company arbitrarily turns it on for you. Seems crazy now, won’t be ten years from now. They’re just boiling the frog all the way.

This looks so much better than most project/product management tools out there. In my wildest dreams, your project would turn into a jira that devs love.

I don't think we'll get ads in the enterprise version. There will be ads for individuals and usual business pricing for businesses. I just think that OAI/Anthropic will try to keep both types of users locked into their walled

> the barrier to entry to build a frontend gets lower My impression is the opposite: frontend/UI/UX is where the moat is growing because that's where users will (1) consume ads (2) orchestrate their agents.

APIs leak profit and control vs their counterpart SDK/platforms. Service providers use them to bootstrap traffic/brand, but will always do everything they can to reduce their usage or sunset them entirely if possible.

I am not a blind AI fanboy but I am more bullish than some people here, for two reasons: 1. We might be drowning under the "top of the iceberg" at the moment (quickly generated AI slop) but there's a silent crowd of builders

We can really look at it both ways. It is actually concerning that a model that won IMO last summer would still fail 15% of ARC AGI 2.

Countries benefit massively from art. First-grade art attracts wealthy people who pay local taxes and wealthy tourists who contribute to the economic cycle of the country. For some European countries, the numbers are mind-blowing.
