Your wiki link is missing. But I've had gut issues for a year since eating something bad. I've tried everything, seen a dozen doctors. Very curious about this.

I'd think the training data is something that could be curated. Eliminating all bias might be impossible, but GIGO applies.

I just do something like: // TODO: Optimize this function // TODO: Finish implementing this feature I also label comments with BUG, NOTE and HACK, but not for unfinished items on a todo list.

by yosito 5y ago
I pretty strongly disagree with this. The advantage of using TODO for everything, is that it's easily searchable, and you don't have to try to guess/remember, which labels are used for your comments. If your task is more nuan

As someone who appreciates the craftsmanship and care that goes into human-created art, I found the abilities of DALL-E to be a little distressing. These limitations really point out how much DALL-E is still very different from humans, in a

I hope these become more popular. I'm not a fan of the way cartoonish emojis have become so ubiquitous. I don't care for the aesthetic being plastered all over the things I use, but I do like the ability to use symbols to express

I have a lot of international friends. A majority of them speak fluent English. But sometimes I like to send them short messages in their native languages which I don't speak, just for fun. When I started doing this, ten years ago, mac

Based on anecdotal experience, giving a smartphone app access to your microphone "while using the app" results in targeted ads for things you were talking about within 10-15 minutes of having the app open. I haven't done any

I tested this model out with Hungarian. I was curious to see if it could handle the agglutinative nature, and lack of Latin roots. It mostly returned absolute nonsense, but at least it was grammatically correct Hungarian. It also properly a

I can't fathom why Russian soldiers who are massacring civilians would care to limit their crimes based on a clock. What's the difference if you murder innocents at 3pm rather than 4pm?

Absolutely, Netflix would be 1000 times better if they just let me sort, filter and find content based on concrete metadata. Instead, I'm forced to rely on their recommendation algorithms that purport to know what I want to watch, but

It seems to me that with enough bladders made of some kind of lightweight fireproof material that prevented the explosion of one from exploding the others, blimps could still be useful as floating aircraft carriers for drones or other types

As someone who grew up in Akron, Ohio, the Goodyear blimp is still a regular sight around here. I grew up in the 90s thinking blimps were normal everywhere, and it was only as I got older that I realized that it's really an Akron thing

As a social animal myself, "surprising" isn't the adjective I'd use.

Judging by personal experience a large portion of humanity gets their worldview from memes which are most certainly not produced by the aforementioned institutions.

I've been getting those spam calls lately from Consumer Insurance Bureau, or something like that. But I also expect to get a lot of important calls from unfamiliar numbers, so I have to pick up. I also figured out that if I call back t

Love this idea, and love that it supports email updates. I think that makes it useful even if most (all) of my friends don't use it yet. That's something a lot of attempts at doing social networks differently miss: it needs to be

The marketing website totally sold me on it, but as soon as I opened the App Store and saw that it's only 3.9 stars I decided I don't really want to pay for it. The only reason I bother to start using apps under 4.1 stars is if I

My engineering manager asked me to use Conventional Commits for all of our code. I've been using it for about six months now, and I have to say that we're really getting no value out of it as a company beyond the standard habit of

The problem is, for most people a QR code is just magic, they don't understand that it's just an encoded URL nor have any understanding of how that can be exploited.

With the resurgence of QR codes, it's only a matter of time until someone starts printing phishing link QR code stickers and sticking them over innocent looking QR codes for restaurant menus and such.
