Much the same here - I have gone back to basics and am studying a lot more than I ever did.
You aren't worried that these binaries may have unfixed vulnerabilities?
You aren't worried about the provenance of the installed apps?
Thats fine but then Fable 5 should have requested this information instead of blundering along. So why didn't it? An expert human asked to do the same task would have surely asked for the additional data.
Yeah - we also don't know if the models from OpenAI and anthropic are back-doored either.
This seems more like a marketing move though following the old dictum that all publicity is good publicity.
I feel grateful that I retired a few years ago and no longer have to make a living being a developer.
This reminds me of the early 1980s, when home PCs were still very new, the main use cases that vendors used to promote were managing household accounts and recipes. These use cases were extremely unimpressive for most…
This is absolutely mind boggling. Why hasn't this bubbled up to the top of HN?
Reviewing someone else's large pull request is like having a second task in parallel with what you are working on yourself!
I'm curious: Do you scrutinize every line of code that's generated?
Indeed, there have been so many new activation functions that I have stopped following the literature after I retired. I am glad to see that people are trying out new things.
Yeah - it was pretty chaotic when I was there too. We had to use the internal purchase order system to buy certificates from a CA. It was cumbersome as it required several levels of approval. I have long since quit IBM…
Article like this are why I keep coming back to HN: I was using an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) for a similar task but this LED idea is fascinating. It would have never occurred to me!
I had this back in the 1980s and I learnt a lot about electronics from it. Was one of my favorite kits!
Agree. If a competitive model can be trained in a few months, its not clear what is really unique here
My point is that while Cisco was an early winner, Amazon and Google started growing a few years later and were much larger winners in the end. I think there is a possibility that history may repeat with Nvidia -but I…
After working in AI for a big chunk of my career, I have switched gears in retirement and am having a great time learning to program small controllers like Arduinos. It's like going back in time - minimal OS, simple…
The RP2040s can multitask. This is because the Arduino compatibility layer is actually built on top of MbedOS which support preemptive multitasking. You have access to the full API set of MbedOS in addition to the…
I'm using the Arduino RP2040 in a project. This is also in the same form factor as the Nano and is truly remarkable in terms of value for money. Really impressed with Arduino
I have one of the early PhDs in neural networks (graduated in 1992). However my work was analytical - I was able to prove a couple of theorems about the backpropagation. I just needed a simple implementation to prove…
Like you I was sick of software engineering but still really enjoy programming. I was fortunate enough to be able to retire early and I now enjoy programming a few hours a day on various personal projects and open…
The crypto "industry" is a set of people selling Pet Rocks to each other
Good point. I think it will get even worse as automation improves. Consider that problems beyond thew ability of the automated driving system are delegated to the human driver. As automation improves, the human driver…
What's not clear is this: I thought being in the Metaverse is supposed to be leisure time activity. So what would you do with it at work?
