Ignoring patent law has done great things for 16th century continental Europe and more recently China. Rent-seekers and ladder kickers shouldn't always be respected, they'll slow down societal advancement to a crawl if…
Ethics are probably internalized long before someone commits to an engineering career. I'm not sure they can be taught later.
That's a very mercenary attitude. If less than 2% of your (potential) users had a particular disability, would you implement accessibility features for them without being forced to? I'd argue that it's the right thing…
Or it's self-dealing from these funding parties, and the hiring is business continuing as usual. My understanding is that one of the advantages of being VC funded is that sales among sister companies become easier,…
That's positively incoherent. You can't even interpret an instruction without relying on prior knowledge. Not to mention LLM's are in essence made of knowledge.
Relaxation isn't really a goal of meditation. When you do it you cultivate a kind of meta-cognition, an awareness of - and control over - the kind of invasive thinking that usually dominates our awareness. As a fellow…
Exactly, this is called a marginal effect and it's very relevant for our bodies which basically need their homeostasis disrupted to be prompted to adapt.
That's what swap is for.
In the past with harmful refrigerants and lack of renewable energy AC simply was not justifiable in most of Europe. Progress on both fronts plus global warming is changing that only recently.
There is a more nuanced argument against deportation as a policy. First of all it causes migrants to destroy their documentation and to be less coöperative with the immigration process. Second, some migrant countries…
Rising demand induces inflation because more money is chasing the same goods.
It's not just minimum wages. If productive sector employees' demand for goods causes inflation, prices will rise. If you want to keep your nurses/doormen/teachers you'll have to increase their wages regardless of what…
I've been to staffless hotels (numa) that were good and noticeably more affordable than their neighbors. I don't know if the housekeeping was outsourced though, I imagine that, without at least some local management…
Labour was cheaper back then. Even valuable jobs can stop making sense if the costs outweigh them. That's the difficulty with automation making other sectors more efficient, wages get driven up while your productivity…
Data.table is a masterclass in bad API design. Its lack of success despite its technical merits is entirely of their own doing.
Sounds like socializing the harms instead of requiring these companies to bear the burden themselves. Could still be a valid approach but I'm afraid it will make them take less responsibility, not more.
Recently finished the Starfish quadrilogy and adored it as well. One thing I particularly like is how this theme of evolutionary pressure applies to everyone alike; characters, software, ideologies, neural nets. Also…
REAMDE's description of MMO economics is farcically bad. It undermines the whole book.
The conclusions seem overly broad. Just because these languages are Turing complete doesn't mean they aren't massively hampered by expressiveness and amount of batteries included. To attribute all of this to training…
Of course they do, error messages get tokenized and put into the context window just like anything else. This isn't a Markov chain.
The aggregate effect of the chemical gradients in the antheap controls the ants. It's similar in these giant companies where the combination of all the incentives makes for a gradient towards certain outcomes. I can see…
Language is intersubjective (its meaning is in the minds of the participants). Referring to the history or composition of a word is interesting but entirely insufficient to justify its use.
State governments are very much not under "management" of the federal government.
Not definitively. LLMs are stochastic with respect to input, temperature and the exact prompt. It's possible that the model was already capable of it but never received the exact right conditions to produce this output.
That's not how it works in many countries. You can have regional governments that raise their own taxes and aren't beholden to the central government organizationally, just legally.
