I'm a Cloud/DevOps eng, and feel like DevOps is at least somewhat vulnerable to AI/automation. I think "architect" types may be safe, but all of the hands-on knowledge about wiring up different systems seems to be r

This is quite a bit better than all of the other attempts at building AI summarizers I've seen. One thing that's really nice about it is that it seems to pick out surprising or unique information, rather than just trying to provid

I’m pretty sure the model is trained on the 30 second previews. If you type in a song with a lot of different sections, the suggestions match the preview and not the rest of the song. Bohemian rhapsody, for example

I’m almost positive it is. If you put in a song with a bunch of different styles, sections (e.g. bohemian rhapsody) the suggestions match the preview

I’m getting really tired of this “launch an AI product with no QA and have users point out your mistakes” approach. It’s very clear that this site doesn’t work. Anyone who uses it for 2 seconds can see it. Why launch it right now?

How do you test that a kindergartener understands addition without asking them for things a calculator can do? Or do we just think it’s not important for people to understand addition at this point?

The lie flat movement is a physical embodiment of anti-capitalism or economic optimization. You could also say “quiet-quitting” is similar. Starving capital of labor is the only non-violent form of protest that works

In the past 10 years, capitalism has become a dirty word to people under 30. Whether you agree or not, that feels like it matters.

This thread shows that there are outliers that are non-duplicated in the training set that still show up in results. https://twitter.com/alexjc/status/1620466058565132288 Specifically, this post confirms cases of

There's still valid reason to be concerned here. For example, this implies building a diffusion model based on private data can leak it. If I can generate a whole bunch of prompts like "MRI Joe Biden brain tumor" and 1 out of

Have you… actually studied the French Revolution? Which individual did it? And what kind of engineering feat did they use to accomplish it?
856.
by yunwal 4y ago
Certainly not gonna accomplish anything by myself. A good first step would be to reach out to other people in similar situations, and convince them to join the cause.

> Ideology makes a person dumb Quite an ideological position. One that entirely lacks nuance or evidence. As if serfs could have engineered their way out of fiefdoms.

Perhaps the reason things are still bad is because engineering alone can not solve climate change and a shift in cultural beliefs and priorities is needed?

The mobile version is also super buggy. Frequently when I’m using it it just turns half-black and I can’t see the page. Really love the desktop version though

They’ve been scamming people for years and hitting them with BS credit card charges. Just another abusive system tacked onto the rest.

I went through this probably a year ago and I think it’s probably something everyone should go through. Like immersion therapy for rejection.

Impossible, to me, tastes better than most grocery store burgers. Certainly better than the cook-from-frozen ones that it’s closest to in texture, plus they crisp up better on the grill. If it were as cheap I don’t think I’d ever have anoth

Whoops, looks like it launched on the mobile app in Oct. 2020. I haven’t bought from Amazon for 4 years or so. Should have checked nothing had changed, but I’m unable to edit my comment.

They also never supported smile donations from the mobile app for no good reason, so it was always pretty clear to me that it was nothing more than a PR stunt/tax write off.

That’s what I figured. Maybe it’s just me but for complicated use-cases this still takes me forever to get the right regex string, especially with capture groups.
