The best way I can explain it is that it's the same feeling when I upgraded from 56k dialup to cable broadband.

I don't see why it should be all that difficult. All you have to do is first find a library that implements a decent solution to the halting problem and you're off to the races.

Baking weights in makes a lot of sense for inference speed and power efficiency and has the added benefit of putting many end-users on the hardware refresh treadmill.

I'll echo this. They're very good at consistent support and never pulling the rug. The folks at Railway have nothing but the wildest praises to sing.

Google has a culture problem. This is not something that can change easily nor will it change when it’s not recognized as being an issue within their organization. Between my peer …

This comment reminds me of a joke where the punchline is that a person is so poor that burglars break in to their house and leave money. Similarly, I could see ransomware groups ha…

Smells like an article from someone that didn’t really USE the XML ecosystem. First, there is modeling ambiguity, too many ways to represent the same data structure. Which means yo…

Only to get in response: “INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER”

GDPR for thee, but not for me.

This is a standard playbook at large organizations with finance departments. CFO 2 companies ago used to literally coach people on extending payments and delaying. Best case scenar…

I wonder if the cable could be enclosed in some sort of container whose shape would make an anchor glance off its surface.

Expecting AGI from Reddit training data is peak "pray Mr Babbage".

Quite disagree. Early mistakes cost me a lot of heartache later on. But you don't have to figure anything out by yourself. People like us get hired because we're experts in softwar…

Just curious, what industry do you work in?

I'm not sure your conclusion is a fair take. In the app I work on, GIL acquisition would easily take 2-3x longer than the postgres queries which would subsequently be issued.

There are people who literally say this and then you hire them -- they turn out to be complete duds. I'm genuinely curious because I'm hiring right now: by what mechanism would I d…

I suspect that parent comment is not referring to the same kinds of people you are. I can relate because I know several people who flippantly dismissed family formation as not for …

Without removing the functionality as it currently exists, I don't see a way to prevent this attack. Seems like the only real way is to have the user not specify websites to scrape…

And yet somehow before written language and text, we were still human and had personhood.

Every time they try, a lot of people seem to die. Maybe pattern recognition over time isn’t a strength people have. Same story in crypto. There will be shock and awe when Binance f…

A better analogy would be the locksmith refusing to let you in because you can’t produce the deed, which itself is in the house.

None of that sounds particularly attractive. I would rather use nuclear, wind, or solar to capture the carbon until we figure out how to stop making so much of it.

Or letting your printer run out of yellow ink.

What would a lifestyle look like that meets these targets?
