Yeah, I was thinking the same. I have two Dyson vacuum cleaners, one purchased about 9 years ago, and the other two years ago. Both are excellent, and I still use the old one for my basement.

This really depends on the failure modes. In general, humans fail in predictable, and mostly safe, ways. AIs fail in highly unpredictable and potentially very dangerous ways. (A human might accidentally drop a knife, an AI might accidentall

I've never used LLMs for this, but as someone who's been through a lot of sports-related injuries, I find doctors more or less useless (except for prescribing painkillers and performing surgeries.) No doctor or physio has ever bee

There's no single ordering -- it really depends on what you're trying to do, how long you're willing to wait, and what kinds of modalities you're interested in.

You can't get 100% reliability from a human either.

It's not. You should actually try out the exercise. (I used this approach to build partial perfect pitch, i.e., to sing/identify a small number of specific pitches.) Close your eyes and try to imagine a song that you know really w

That's not how I read it. It's more about having a consistent approach to managing error types in large code bases. This is a common problem with exception-based languages too.

There was tons of duplicate code, unnecessary code, dead code, etc. There was also a lot of code for which CPAN modules could entirely replace. (Also, I'm a workaholic who obsesses about a problem until it's fully solved.)

Okay, so when I worked at Sony about 25 years ago, I got assigned this project to fix our order management system, which was extremely slow, and kept crashing. I jumped in and started digging around, and to my horror, the OMS was a giant se

> fundamentally flawed tech, since maybe Theranos That's a pretty dramatic claim. We've had to (and still have to) deal with the same class of problems when going from analog -> digital in chips, communications, optics, etc.

It's readable if you're familiar with the RAII pattern which is used in languages like C++ and Go.

That's not the whole point of the training. It's just (very loosely) a measure of loss used during pre-training. There are many post-training and alignment stages in a typical model that are designed to reward high-quality respons

This is unconventional use of the term "distributed locking". This alternative just punts the hard part of locking to the storage system.

IPFS is probably the closest open-source thing here, but the UX for non-nerds is not great.

Came here to say something similar. You also notice that before any verbal thoughts arise, there are "primordial" thoughts, which are "felt" (sometimes as emotions.) These can instigate huge chains of verbal, visual, aud

If you're a beginner, you'll need to work your way up to at least 45-minute sessions. You're not going to be able to enter jhanas in 20 minutes unless you're very experienced and entered them consistently for a long time
