I was listening to a Verge podcast in which Nilay Patel remarked that of the AI companies started pushing for universal healthcare, AI would become a lot more popular. But no signs of this.
I'm a retired AI researcher and I still enjoy programming. However, I don't use any however assistance as I still want the thrill of learning new things. Unfortunately, it appears that the only way for most developers…
The Cyrano de Bergerac story needs to get updated for the agent era :-)
yeah - the dissonance is strong here
> Now comes AI and it looks like the only bottleneck is people's motivation. Who pays the salary of the mathematicians and the cost of accessing the AI?
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.
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.
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
The crypto "industry" is a set of people selling Pet Rocks to each other
Reminds me of the old IBM mainframes (until the 1990s) that were liquid cooled. They had an ingenious approach called TCM (Thermal Conduction Module) with the silicon chips directly attached to a cooled substrate.
HN mostly reminds me of the Usenet of the late 1980s - which was in a way the social media of its time.
Looks like someone has resurrected F*cked Company :-) Brings back interesting memories of the period from 2000 to 2002.
This is exactly what I have been doing after I retired early. I spend a a lot of time studying math and physics and working on hobbies. There is simply so much to explore - I _never_ feel bored.
2021 was my first full year of retirement and I really enjoyed it (I retired at the end of 2020 after working thirty years in software research). In 2021, I plan to work on my model train layout, some robotics projects…
Interestingly when I was working on my dissertation on neural networks back in 1990, we had a connection machine CM2 in my university and I implemented the backpropagation algorithm in C* (the variant of C that ran on…
I retired early recently - I am in my mid 50s. It's not anywhere as hard as people seem to think. With a disciplined approach to investing, I think that it's very much possible to reach financial independence with a…
Exactly! Palmisano was squeezing every last cent and starving the company of resources for developing the future. Even by 2008, it was clear hat cloud computing was the next big wave and yet IBM built out its own…
Exactly - the enormous population of India means that there are definitely going to be huge numbers of younger people who scum to the disease. Straightforward arithmetic.
