Because they have extra money to do whatever they want with. And data to use it on? Not that that is sufficient, but it helps.

Loaded it on a pixel phone, saw a list of countries with no context about what picking one meant, saw a map but didn't understand how to interact with it, and that was about it.

And what would they do if you refuse?

It might be worth looking into probabilistic programming languages. I'm out of date, but I remember webppl, stan, anglican, pymc (a python library). Seems worth an investigation an…

Decisions by small groups should be the default. Others only need to be involved if the risk/consequences of failure are high. I started ignoring all PRs from our large team becaus…

I recommend finding a real project that is likely to have some complex needs. It's easier to learn when there are real problems to solve.

In general, the harder it is to undo and the broader the consequence, the more you need to check.

Agreed. I enjoy looking at and using a lot of these components.

The first picture is of overcooked pancakes. Hard to trust the rest :)

If Imagen generates a digital painting after my prompt, I didn't make the painting. I don't want them to say "I wrote it." They're still responsible, but it's helpful to know they …

I have no problem with my credentials being revoked everywhere before I know about a layoff. I don't really care how I learn about it, just please don't make me come in to the offi…

I feel the same way. In general, I prefer working on a couch with my laptop. My eyes aren't great and I end up ruining my posture at a desk, invariably.

Their decision to... use AI for coding?

"...the system described here does it all automatically: It proposes optimizations using LLMs, formally verifies safety properties, shadow-evaluates against real production traffic…

Next up: proportional fonts and font weights?

> To increase the contrast of our sampling vector, we might raise each component of the vector to the power of some exponent. How do you arrive at that? It's presented like it's a …

Maybe try finding a software engineering job at a place that also uses your scientific expertise. You may be able to find or create opportunities there. The position might not exis…

Which LLM was used to generate that post?

> the real challenge is standardization and integration In what sense? I'm a newbie, but curious because I'm working on stuff related to https://mesastandards.org/mesa-der-std/ .

Absolutely not. It's not like there isn't a million other images that work just fine. It's a symbol (even if most people don't know) of the objectification of women, that is pervas…
