Cats pretty much domesticated themselves for the mutual benefit of both species. There are "captive" pets living in cages or other enclosures that might be a bit more dicey, but cats and dogs are probably a pretty poor…
Generally, yes; for example, routine colonoscopies are not practiced in many developed countries, and it doesn't necessarily translate into any difference in overall health outcomes. One recent study is described here:…
And thus eliminate the reason many (if not most) of these books and webpages existed in the first place. This may be fair in the short term, but on a longer timescale, it leaves us worse off unless LLMs master reasoning…
Airport is probably a very different environment, though? I imagine that if you have a military installation, you don't mind blasting some birds with RF every now and then (and the birds probably don't mind either).
That's how development always happened in much of the US. Cities expanding into forestland or grassland. The problem isn't that the homes are all of sudden luxurious, or that we somehow do less planning than in the…
But it will. Because it doesn't matter if it's fundamentally better than a good recruiter if it's orders of magnitude cheaper. If you can have it pursue far more leads, maybe the outcomes are going to be the same or…
Early GPTs were fairly bad at following instructions. The innovation was RLHF, where human raters (Mechanical Turk style) would be asked to evaluate on how well the LLM is able to follow instructions stated as a part of…
As the old saying goes, good ideas shouldn't require force. If they have a "no-brainer" offering, no need to strong-arm people into using it, right? I get it that they are not a charity and can monetize or paywall their…
Google is big, wealthy, and tech-savvy enough to, at the very least, make ad blockers unreliable and annoying most of the time for most of the users. This is not good news, and it's probably not going to be a lesson in…
This is often impractical when shipping costs more than the components. Yeah, there are things you shouldn't be buying "just in case" - for example, a stash of SoCs will age faster than you can use them - but definitely…
I maintained page like this, only to have it penalized by Google when they started cracking down on a particular type of SEO spam. But another problem is that such pages are just really hard to maintain. In a year or…
I think the point is that if we used the language of museum displays and pop-sci books about antiquity to describe the modern world, the results would be comical. In all likelihood, big-bosomed stone pendants dug up in…
I find it hard to interpret such whataboutism as sincere. If you care about these perceived abuses by US tech companies, why wouldn't you applaud the outcry against TikTok? At the very least, it moves the needle in the…
I remember school as a massive waste of time, but it definitely helped me develop social skills. That said, I'm really not seeing this effect with my kids in the SF Bay Area. They have few opportunities to socialize on…
