I was there for that, ended up getting the eurostart instead, still can't believe that it was basically all for nothing and we still have no information about it really.

this has pretty broad implications for the safety of LLM's in production use cases.

Highway is easier, but if something goes wrong the chance of death is pretty high. This is bad PR and could get you badly regulated if you fuck it up.

In the UK for intance there's only about 20,000 people who earn over a million yearly, and I'd bet a decent amount of those are C-suite or purely through capital gains...

There are an incredible amount of CS graduates, far more than the available jobs, so the number of under-employed CS grads only goes up with time. If anything I'd have expected somewhere around 200-250 apps for that time period.

there are benefits such as child tax credits which are not tapered. You either get the full benefit if earning £99,999 a year, or nothing at £100,000. This benefit if you have children can be worth tens of thousands of pounds, thus resultin

The paradox given is an argument against perfectly efficient markets. The paradox is that if the market was efficient, then doing market research would be a loss-making activity always, meaning people wouldn't spend money to collect th

The trick in the UK and other commenwealth nations like australia is that you can't get leverage on buying the actual stock, but instead you can use contracts-for-difference (CFD's) which are bets on stock prices. In the US you us

More recent analysis has many things that imply the EMH is weak if it exists at all. 2008 at it's core is a rather good example that the market was not efficient at all, as was the dot com bubble. And then you have the behavioural side

You don't have to trade against the firms, retail can make up the majority of some markets (e.g not on dark pools etc..), you just have to beat them and join the firms in taking their money. It's far more difficult than buying an

That third issue is very annoying. C++ in visual studio often has that and I'll help someone who has like 2,000 weird errors and my response is usually "looks like a missing semicolon to me" and they're like "????&q

Yeh this is more like being a salesman selling funding contracts for a VC firm to startups, a weird dynamic.

More efficient architecture/training regimes would be a big one.

Imagine if a bank admitted 10% of it's revenue came from criminals or money laundering. A staggering proportion with no government action.

From may 2020 to may 2023 they did 56% annualised. Performance apart from that is unreported, so likely lower or negative.

They've used their previous motors in production Ferraris and koensiggs and also in aircraft. They have the capability to make 100,000 motors a year so this is definitely not just lab stuff!

Isn't the whole premise of this breakthrough that they don't need the lamination, and thus can stamp it out?

There's a reason it isn't legal in basically any other countries and this is a big part of it.

Yup, if you're using OpenCV for instance compiling instead of using pre-built binaries can result in 10x or more speed-ups once you take into account avx/threading/math/blas-libraries etc...

for 768 dimensions, you'd still expect to hit (1-1/N) with a few billion samples though. Like that's a 1/N of 0.13%, which quite frankly isn't that rare at all? Of course are vectors are not only points in one coord

Leverage comes with a cost though through interest rates. It is entirely possible (and even typical) to come out with a loss even on appreciating real estate, since your house must appreciate by more than the interest on your loan. In the U

In this sense I mean maintain as a business not necessarily as software. E.g pivoting from growth to efficiency in the business sense. If you increase your price as substantially as they did, you must improve the software to keep users from

They are definitely a PE firm. They buy up struggling companies with the aim to revitalise them, or otherwise recoup the cost of investment+ profit. They have switched to mainly relying on traditional debt rather than outside investor money

seems to be less invest, and more buy mature products and find the minimum amount of money and people needed to maintain it, whilst squeezing existing customers (which generally doesn't lead to long-term stategy).

Except usually sovereign wealth funds are for diversification, so oil rich nations will use their wealth fund to invest in non-oil linked commodities, since then if they're revenue dries up their investments shouldn't. Even better

this one does not. Other cameras do include one, or can make a depth sensor via the real sensor since autofocus/focus stacking allows depth extraction, especially if using a low aperature number.

The depth information that sony cameras collect is almost certainly low-res enough that even with a simple image->depthmap model[0] you could fool it. Also they don't say anything about the sensor itself being secure, no need to pri

this is not a gender specific issue. You can easily look at the watch-market, luxury car market etc... to see the same issue play out. In cars it's even worse when you have something like the Lamborghini Urus compared to the Audi RSQ8
