"actively exploring exits" is not the same as "rush to sell". Most startups are actively exploring exits as that's the whole damn point of a startup
Humans don't really generate text as a series of words. If you've ever known what you wanted to say but not been able to remember the word you can see this in practice. Although the analogy is probably a helpful one,…
Back in 2018 [1], at a similar time that there was a lot of moving about and restructuring. I think this is about the time that Google search started going downhill as well [1]…
No idea what this guy is talking about. Big tech are only talking about the existential risks to hide talking about the actual very real risks of how the technology will be misused.
My interpretation from the paper is that this algorithm is simpler than other options but also worse. So in a professional context you'd use one of those instead
The biggest problem is that if you're using this in production then it could cause problems. It's not like a traditional outage where you get a load of 503 errors, the system appears to be working correctly but…
Agreed. There's nothing inherent about slaves that is more efficient than paid laborers. It's just cost and time. It can look incredible that the Romans built these huge structures, but the timescales were measured in…
That's something you could philosophise about but not research unless you already have a human level intelligence to test. We won't know if it's even possible to replicate in silicon for a very long time
Very weird that it's using paths instead of the Accept header to change the content type, but otherwise pretty cool
Every person you hire to help drive a period of growth is someone who will later be fired once that growth (or commonly just funding) runs out. It's very easy to just increase headcount to increase growth but it's not…
Completely agree, the article reads more like someone who thinks they are doing research rather than development. There's no esoteric perfect form for software that needs to be discovered, there's a set of patterns and…
Considering that I'm not allowed to copy any of the physical books, films or songs that I own as it breaks copyright then copying it and putting it into a generative AI should also be illegal. Just because you change it…
I'd say that none of these have been proved to be impossible but they're hard in a different way than a lot of the developments we're used to because of Moore's Law.
Not since PHP8 it's not [0], it's a real part of the language that you can read and view using reflection [0] https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.attributes.overview.p...
Still more cost efficient to run a single bus than separate vehicles, just in maintenance alone. Also we already have buses, these single occupation EVs that still have enough space for a decent battery size don't exist.
A better idea might be to provide the homeless with a better standard of living, therefore making them nicer to be around on public transport
Could be talking about Mintel [0] which was a simpler, earlier version of the web [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel
This is the same standard for any Startup claiming to leverage AI, so I think that's fair
Good luck trying to turn that USDC back into dollars without significant tax implications, and definitely good luck trying to get your customers to use USDC instead of a credit card
Agreed, the rant about Jira really made it seem like a management issue. At our company tickets are only created for the upcoming three sprints, anything that hasn't been done in three months is deleted as it's…
Completely agree with this. There's a short sentence in the abstract: > hyperparameter optimization and prompt engineering Prompt engineering seems a lot like "tweaking the question format until the AI gets the answer"…
I think it's mostly down to Chernobyl and the cold war. Speaking to people in their 60's (anecdotally) they seem to overestimate the risks of nuclear power and underestimate climate change. This is probably because…
I'll believe it when I see it, but it looks like it's been in the pipeline for almost 6 years[1], so I'd be very surprised if we see it before the crypto bubble bursts. [1]…
The opensearch project was released a while ago as opendistro and was just renamed to opensearch a year ago [1]. As for features, it depends what you're doing, but ES upgraded to Lucene 9 6 months ago [2], and they've…
Feature-wise, it's about 3 years behind the features in ES. Although you have to pay for the higher tiers in ES, there's a much richer feature set. The Elastic cloud offering is much nicer than the AWS hosted version,…
