Can someone explain what this kind of comment is meant to be and what is the history behind it? It looks grammatically incorrect, and I can't reorder the words to make sense either.
LLMs are extremely useful for ML classification. 1. If you have a large amount of unlabeled data, labeling it using LLMs(even a costly XXXB parameter model) can be significantly cheaper than using humans. 2. Text…
If scalpers are able to sell a product at higher price, doesn't that mean the company priced the product too low?
Name is not the only thing that gives away one's caste/religion. For example, my ear being pierced gives away that I am a Hindu. The specific dialect I speak gives away where I belong from, which statistically brings me…
You can do something similar in India as well. The benefit is that you get the flat at cheaper rate, at the risk of losing all your investment. There have been many cases of the developer going bankrupt, but nothing at…
When learning classical computing, I have done the following things that gave me a deeper understanding of how things work. 1. Learned logic gates and built(in simulators) small circuits which can do…
This is something I struggle with. I have a weekly meeting which includes TL, Manager, PM and sometimes Staff engineers, Data analysts, Managers of downstream teams etc. I try to keep the details to the lowest…
Even that should be equivalent to distributing throughout the economy. If you burn 100 units of money, you are decreasing it's supply, increasing it's value by a tiny bit.
I believe CS degrees shouldn't focus too much on industry skills. Sure it is good to have some engineering focused courses that are likely to be useful in long term(C programming, design patterns), but most courses…
That is no different than buying a house with a loan, where the loan is backed by the same house.
As a secular Indian, I highly doubt that majority, or even plurality of Indians are secular. If anything, I've seen most of my friends go from being secular to conservative moderates/hardliners in last few years. I know…
When I was in school(2002-2012), the Maharashtra state board history education was Maharashtra centric, not delhi centric. Most of the history lessons revolved around the maratha empire, their enemies. Few years were…
All tlds can be used as valid domain name. So you can have http://com/ or bob@com email id. Turns out they are prohibited for new gTLDs. https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/new-gtld-dotl...
What I have realized after using Bard(Palm2), ChatGPT(3.5) and some other LLMs is that they are good for tasks where an accuracy <100% is acceptable, and the cost of getting wrong answers is not high. For example,…

I assume that if they train the model only on GPLv2, then the generated code might be legal to be used under GPLv2 license. Similar could be done with some other open source licenses as well.
My family members, some friends, relatives and neighbours have been radicalized due to fake news and hate messages on whatsapp. My mother, who used to take me to temples, churches and mosques alike as a child, now hates…
I am making 18LPA INR(23.5K USD), and just got an offer for 2x the amount(48K USD approx). I have an offer being negotiated with another one, and am expecting 1-2 more offers. I still have interviews lined up, and…
I live in tropics, so pardon my ignorance, but is heating really necessary in cold places? I assume that instead of warming the entire home, one could huddle near a fireplace, and layer up with more wool.
India and Pakistan went to a war(although localized one) after they were nuclear powers. I think as long as you give the other side a way to back out, nuclear war is not likely.
India has plans to set up a rupee based transaction system with Russia. https://financialpost.com/news/economy/india-explores-settin... In the long term, India has been working on indigenous development of military…
India decided to require all publicly funded research to make research papers and data open access[0] [0] https://dst.gov.in/sites/default/files/STIP_Doc_1.4_Dec2020....
My employer pays for papers we need on a per-paper basis, and recently got subscription for one of the publishers as that was cheaper. They simply want to avoid lawsuits. I'm sure that outside of workplace, every…
There are two types of durians. One which is supposed to be eaten as a fruit when ripe, other which is supposed to be cooked into a dish when raw. When used for the wrong purpose, they taste horrible. Otherwise, the…
Alexandra mentioned that she didn't want this project to be illegal forever. Why India specifically? Probably because the same court has previously decided that photocopying books for personal use is fair-use, as long…
