The grading rubric for all engineering units here in Australia require that students develop an understanding of ethics and professional practice. There are a number of units dedicated to teaching project work, legal,…
Huh. This reminds me of the asymptotic equipartition theorem. Samples taken from higher and higher dimensional spaces will concentrate into a typical set. Does model performance also concentrate into a 'typical case'…
That's also plausible.
No. The official report seems to suggest that software in IMS core (the subsystem that controls VOIP signalling in the mobile network) bugged out after the time was shifted back 20 years. That doesn't narrow down the…
I think most of these problems could be solved through contracts. A contract for purchasing Parent Co.'s HR, legal, and compliance expertise for child co. And a contract for sharing technology infrastructure. The terms…
It's still impressive, but it's not enough.
Australia's bar for skilled employment is pretty low and deflates wages as well. That's before we get into the prevalence of exploiting working holiday visas for practically slave wages.
You can't really force someone to work for X years at a place they don't want to. I don't know if what you're describing is an enforceable contract term.
I mean. That's how profiteering works for the most part. Extracting wealth from people who don't know better is many times easier than creating more wealth for everyone.
Most hardware tinkerers are not EE's. But will rely on EE's to certify that their electronics are safe.
If you can call yourself an Engineer if you feel like it, then it's not a protected title. "Doctor", is for instance a protected title. You can not advertise yourself or your services as a doctor unless you're a…
I don't think Software Engineers in the US would sign any documents that expose them to legal liability as a professional engineer either. It's still not clear to me from this discussion whether the term "Software…
In which countries are Software Engineers not allowed to call themselves engineers unless they are professionally qualified engineers?
I think most people who write code are the latter and not the former. The industry has diluted the term "engineer" so much that they maybe don't even realise that traditional engineering projects are about more than…
I think whether "taste" was ever important comes down to whether software is a commodity to be bought and sold, or something more strategic. The company that needs a webapp because everyone else has one is never going…
Interesting. Do you have any more specific insights into where you feel AI was a big value-add to these problems? I don't want to be overly dismissive of AI, but I also feel that the AI hype engine frequently positions…
I have no idea how many PhD's have spent how much time of their careers tackling these very specific problems, and I doubt you do either. I'm trying to understand if these specific problems were the kinds of problems…
I assume you're talking about No. 5, the arithmetic circuit complexity bound? The existence of a lower bound than state-of-the-art is certainly a significant result and worth publishing. But the wording of the result…
I'm not arguing that this isn't innovative or worthy of publication. Basically any result that moves the needle meets those criteria. I'm interested in how the results that OpenAI has published here differs from finding…
Not being an expert in any of the fields OpenAI has "advanced" I don't want to prematurely downplay the significance of this contribution. However, I am worried that the language they are using in this blog post is…
I don't think the problem is that memory footprint can't be reduced. The problem is that the token generation rate is simply far too low. OP suggests that the token rate of of their solution is ~5 per second. That's at…
How will open-source and open-weight models continue to thrive after financial incentives die off? Surely open models will suffer from outdated knowledge cutoffs if noone will pay for model training?
Well said! The lines from this movie are written in a way that make it easy for people to relate to this vague notion that 'experience' is different from 'learning'. But quantitatively speaking it's less clear what the…
Everyone knows there is bias. The problem this article highlights is that by delegating screening and human judgment to a few AI vendors those vendors will bias all employers in the same way.
If both systems have a good clock. Then the synchronization messages only need to contain the time delta to correct the time (phase?) drift to achieve full synchronization.
