Are you sure it wouldn’t suggest such a thing? Stoic thinkers (such as the one your repo is named after) are not necessarily anti-suicide. And I think if you prompted a real stoic …

The public “funded” these models in the sense of contributing to their training data.

Wouldn’t it be 1/(number of days since 1888) for a given day? Or 1/(number of years) for a given year? So less than 1/100 if static and independent

I started using an AI calorie tracking app. For non-branded foods, the calorie counting is pretty inaccurate and sometimes very off. However, having an app that can track pictures …

I'm in your boat. I tried out TikTok out a few times, including making a new account, but it never showed me good content. I had maybe one or two longer sessions, but never felt th…

There is no thresholding, you delete edges randomly based on the probability assigned.

>It gives me hope that teenagers are watching his videos and becoming inspired to go into infrastructure. Sadly, that was me ~10 years ago, but the lure of FAANG money was too stro…

I think they are correct, do you have a source? From my knowledge the only other components are the fully connected networks which are not big contributors.

I hardly think it's fair to say that they were 'taking advantage'. If Google says unlimited, should the typical person really expect that to be taken away? That's a really bad look…

I never really got how proofs are supposed to solve this issue. I think that would just move the bugs from the code into the proof definition. Your code may do what the proof says,…

NP hard problems aren’t all equivalent, that’s NP complete.

I don’t think that would necessarily favor small artists. That would just favor artists who are listened to by people who don’t use Spotify a lot. Right now someone who only stream…

Another way to look at it is that you are now paying less for the base ticket which used to include those things. This allows consumers more choice in what part of the experience t…

For those who are unaware 'engineering' in Swiss German is "Ingenieurwissenschaften"

The thing about Kelly is that it assumes risk of ruin is zero because you never bet your entire bankroll. It assumes you can always bet a fraction of a fraction of what you have re…

You can certainly write a program which can determine if a program would halt. It just won't be able to output a yes or no for _every_ program. In some cases it would have to outpu…

> Not every piece of code is an abstraction of course. To me, an abstraction is a piece of code that’s expressed in high-level language so that the distracting details are abstract…

So people polluting the atmosphere will actually have to pay for that? Oh the humanity!

> I'm new to the codebase and I just want to know how it (the codebase) works. You should want to know _why_ it works that way too if you want to do any meaningful work with it. Co…

I can’t say I know the truth, but the sentiment is that Welch divested from R&D, focused on “financialization” I.e. investing in financial instruments over adding real value, made …

What is unscientific about the article?

What substantial features have they been pushing? To me it looks like just a bunch of ways to limit and monetize their existing userbase.

What precisely is your criticism of the post?

Yep. It is now my policy to not do any take home interviews. You should do the same. They don’t respect your time.
