I believe it's in Scotland, not Australia's Perth.

Agree. It’s a very limited description. Yes, technically LLMs are like Markov chains or n-grams predicting the next token. But it completely ignores the compression and interpolation capabilities achieved with transformers.

Most countries are on the path to curtail privacy in the name of security and profit. The US, however, is really good at being at the forefront of the movement while pretending to be otherwise. It’s extremely obvious to outsiders how blissf

It would be helpful to define "consciousness". I'm not convinced that i as a human have this "consciousness" thing. In fact, I strongly suspect that i am merely a statistical machine picking words from a learned dis

I think it's time for the EU to start denying US companies for security reasons.

You assume that these economic policies are dictated by some sort of common good. The reality is that most policies are dictated by corporations and are designed to benefit their shareholders and not the average american. In addition, the U

Tagging is both crude and ugly, and this is not a subjective opinion.

The real issue is that those dimples prevent you from getting the last bit. I also find it very annoying that in Canada quantity is often reported in ounces. Aside from the troy ounce, i have absolutely no idea how much an ounce is and whet

I’m going to argue the opposite. LLMs are fantastic at answering well posed questions. They are like chess machines evaluating a tonne of scenarios. But they aren’t that good at guessing what you actually have on your mind. So if you are a

The UK doesn’t realize how much working with a US company is going to cost them in the long run. They don’t realize yet the US is not an ally.

It’s the “healing” crystals that someone left on the rack. The salt absorbed enough moisture to start leaking and causing short circuits.

Apple's phones are responsible for most of their revenue. The phones are designed to pretty much exclusively interact with social media and take photos. AI doesn't really add anything to that experience since advertisement consump

The piano analogy is incomplete. First, of all, a piano constructs sounds by combining multiple string sounds in a unique manner. But the idea behind transforms (Fourier being a particular case) is that you can take a function (“sound”) tha

The political climate is completely different. The US is no longer an ally but a fascist regime actively supporting far right and nazi movements in Germany. What made sense 8 years ago probably doesn’t make sense today.

There is one and only one important question... have companies been hiring as many juniors as in the past recently?

Is it still a thing in the US though? There was a bit of that in Canada briefly but then everyone saw the ridiculousness of the radical approach in 2023. Universities have been distancing themselves from such groups since then.

Is it provided as you described or is it more like “please do FizzBuzz”? If it’s the latter, that would explain why some people may have trouble with this task… I think we both agree it’s ridiculous to test if the interviewee knows what Fiz

I think there are two reasons. First, with AI, you get see intermediate successes and, in theory, can derive profit from them. ChatGPT may not be profitable right now but in the longer run, users will be paying whatever they have to pay for

I suspect the time it takes to see a specialist in the UK depends on how urgently the issue needs to be addressed. The real advantage you have is that you can be seen by a specialist within two weeks even for non-urgent stuff. That’s not to

Tangentially, i find it amusing when people say they would be ok to switch to linux but not mac. It’s a valid preference, of course. The amusing part is how they justify it. Most of the time, it’s not the hardware that scares them away. Nop

As a Canadian, I really hope Tucows is going to send a particularly nasty response to the FBI. Canada should never collaborate with any US authorities!
