I presume that the technician had at least one PhD. I had a colleague who worked at Los Alamos with a top PhD and he was basically driving around placing and collecting data from some sensors all day long.
> You could be the former CEO of Adobe with a PhD in ML concentrating in image generation and a wing dedicated to your artwork at the Met and still be too out of touch with current image manipulation tooling to make…
That's all correct though the point is that Apple was there as well and its kinda their baby as well.
Thanks for ad hominem. I never said 'Adobe became "irrelevant" "years ago"'. I also didn't say anyone can replace Adobe easily, but outlined a path how a motivated company can replace their offering. If somebody offers…
My business background tells me Adobe Photoshop is going to be commoditized because their main advantage in retouching, content filling and masking can be now done by any 10-year old with a beefier GPU at the same or…
You are missing the point. It's fairly easy to replace Photoshop's layering, color correction, filters etc. by a regular software engineering. Where Adobe had extra edge was their retouching, masking and content filling…
From Wikipedia about ARM: "The company was founded in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd and structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple, and VLSI Technology." All latest node tech from TSMC…
There are plugins for DaVinci that can obliterate the need to ever touch AE though it's not out of the box.
You can kinda view ARM and TSMC as their babies. They founded ARM and financed all the node tech in TSMC that made TSMC competitive.
As somebody who went through the MBA education for defensive reasons (i.e. acquiring skills to protect me from managerial BS), I would say you can extend it to most business jobs excluding accountants and quants.
DaVinci Resolve is eating their lunch in cinematography, nobody cares about Premiere or AfterEffects anymore.
I still own the CS6 suite, the last one before Adobe went mad with subscriptions. Even back then they tried to switch CS6 users to CC users by accepting some ridiculous license agreement that would lead to losing access…
How are they going to inject ads there though? Moreover, the cost per ad will be massive given how expensive the inference is. And a self-hosted Vicuna will likely behave similarly, potentially rendering the whole…
I mean that's precisely how Ireland raised their GDP, they took all US companies and offered them low tax deals, making the rest of EU upset. Now they probably burned through all that money and are trying to outsmart…
Ireland wants to lose money US corps pay them in order to bypass higher EU taxes I guess. I am wondering if they did some game theory scenario about what fine Meta can absorb before it's easier for them to relocate…
Former colleagues told me about a guy who went fishing on a lake and got an idea how to solve some distributed system problem there, then came back, wrote a system using water level, bubbles and fish names and called it…
Some schools are doing stackable degrees. You take a block of a few classes (e.g. 3-4 classes), get a graduate certificate for that area and once you get a few of them, you can convert them to a graduate degree. It…
We'll see I guess. All that GPT models showed us so far is that we humans aren't as intelligent as we thought. We might be forced to redefine what makes us human as intelligence might not be our most distinguishing…
100x is an assumption. LLMs can hit a ceiling (already prohibitively expensive to train), GPUs can hit a ceiling (we are not far from silicon semiconductor limits) and we might end up with a decade of "almost there, but…
Recently so many unrelated sites pop up a tiny Google login window somewhere on the page, obstructing what I want to see, like as if Google was super desperate for more tracking and engagement. Like why would I like to…
Taking a break from work and just going for a walk/bike ride in a forest or visiting some interesting place while traveling and working remotely often gave me really great ideas that helped me to solve problems at hand…
How is Stability AI going to make money? What they provide is super cool and VCs are into it but at some point they need to start giving them returns. Is the plan to get acquired?
I think they should first stop treating depression as a single illness. There are likely thousands different reasons for brain to end up with similar symptoms. Many forms of nutritional deficiencies likely turn into…
Two PhDs should be the minimal qualification to enter!
That risk is eliminated with foreign contractors. It's import/export of services.
