As we know, there’s no such thing as an expert, everyone is equally ignorant or knowledgeable about everything, and there’s no reason to trust anyone’s opinion over anyone else’s opinion, especially if they disagree with your preconceptions

The whole point of having a regulatory agency is that you hire full-time experts in the field and rely on them to build a coherent and stable system of rules and enforcement. As one of the regulated parties, this gives you some solid ground

That is inaccurate. The executors tried, but they didn’t have the legal ability to do anything but sell the collection. Nobody stepped up to buy it.

"Write once, run anywhere" specifically meant that the execution semantics and the interface to the environment (OS, storage, GUI, etc.) of a Java program are the same everywhere. Relating that to "simple, secure, stable&quot

It’s marketing speak. 3D flash (stacked chips) with the control circuits stacked underneath instead of to the side. So it’s one louder. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/sk_hynix-debuts-4d_nand,37...

Also, if you can get people to connect intensely with just one or two of your statements, you can then make other false statements and they won’t care, because that might invalidate the one they really want to believe. The threshold is so l

No argument, but there can be limitations on how much you can speed up the deployment pipeline. In particular, the article is about integrated circuit development (actually about systems made of many ICs), where a “production deployment” ta

So how is it the company can “refuse to let them quit” or “force” an employee to go to a temple? What is the actual enforcement mechanism other than guilt?

So it’s no problem as long as only the people who make “slop” are complaining, and fortunately AI will only ever be able to make “slop”?

I can’t tell if you’re saying his position is invalid, or just that he should wait until it’s too late before saying anything about it.

I guess your perception depends on how many tech hype cycles you’ve lived through. I’ve lived through three for “AI” alone.

You don’t need to do anything special to “reveal” that Apple doesn’t prioritize backwards compatibility. That is very well known. For example, standard practice for audio professionals is to wait a year or more to upgrade MacOS, to give all

X is not a place for "debate". It's designed to optimize for rumor mongering and mob outrage. Which is not a good recipe for a "signal" useful for any kind of decision making.

Can you explain further the mechanism to be used for "checking their authority" without contradicting them or calling out their bad behavior? (Either of which is nowadays apparently considered "political opinion".)

Why, because the only 3.0 features it mentions are SVG icons in the toolbar and the plugin API? No, you're not the only one.

Better to have it shred itself in some random cornfield or big box mall parking lot? I guess that is a sort of built-in self-destruct mechanism…

As people are rightly pointing out, this is only ever going to be a crude heuristic since it has no idea of the context. But in that spirit, I suggest including the distance between the notes as a factor. That would help with slash chords (

It’s only so important for “Western” music. Other musical traditions/cultures (including some from the “West”) find other scale patterns more important. Or they don’t even use the 12-tone division of the octave that this is working wit

In the case of Google Sheets, one reason is that collaborative editing in M365 Excel is absolutely awful. It’s slow, clunky, and more importantly loses data. If you have a shared spreadsheet with important data in it, it’s worth switching.

They did that later , but it is accurate to say that when Mach was first designed, Rick Rashid and others lacked "industry experience". However, they had a lot of practical experience making real systems for academic purposes. Th

Well, I think it depends who you talk to. I suspect quite a few practitioners (as opposed to researchers) regard LoRA as a valid shortcut without full consideration of the difference.
