Automatic Phoneme Recognition (APR). There are some models that do this, but they're only so-so.

It looks more similar to the 1929 crash to me, where "too big to fail" blue chip stocks were overinvested and overvalued, and the value adjustments rippled through the rest of the …

There's a pretty big difference between "we need laws and regulations" and "let Trump do whatever he feels like today."

How does a billion break down into 49 million? I'm assuming you mean 400 and 90 million?

100%. It really depends on the application domain and system complexity. I see a lot of people speaking about a 10x productivity improvement and so on. When I work on hobby project…

I set up mine with WSL and used a Linux terminal over xserver. Once you have a decent unix shell (and a good terminal) it's fine. VSCode etc work fine. This was 2020ish, things mig…

I think there are no safe harbor investments at this time. Even gold is unpredictable. Personally I went 80% world excl US and 20% equal weight S&P500 to hedge against what I think…

The notation is supposed to mean: you have a matrix Q, and also a shared K=V matrix. I agree with GP that it's super confusing to us the minus sign as a delimiter between formulas.…

IMO the easiest way to open the straight is for the US to back down. "The EU helping the US" doesn't sound like a great way to achieve that. I don't want the EU to join a protracte…

I agree with the sentiment, but this is not something I can send my colleagues. You can be annoyed and right, and still avoid being crass.

Established accounts are worth money, often for scamming/propaganda. Not too dissimilar to people bot-leveling in MMOs to the sell the accounts.

I'm afraid you're mistaken. He hired a cartographer to iterate over the design, but from the images, he likely used that feedback to create a map style . For example https://wiki.o…

Genuinely curious: what would you have had him do instead?

Everyone is writing. Nobody is reading.

I do wonder if it's fair to expect users to absorb cache miss costs when using Claude Code given how untransparent these are.

Where I live, your employer basically has to give you notice (weeks to months, depending where you live). It's common for that notice period to turn into "garden leave" though, i.e…

Typical stages of training for these models are: Foundational: - Pretraining - Mid/post-training (SFT) - RLHF or alignment post-training (RL) And sometimes... - Some more customer-…

I think my experience as an interviewer has helped. If you ask non-leading questions, sycophancy doesn't come into play as much. Instead of saying "are you sure?" or "shouldn't we …

For reference, I knew a guy who built bespoke cheats (less likely to get caught by ban waves) and he charged a few thousand per project.

I've never experienced this, but I guess I always respond with something like "No, [critique/steer]" or "Mostly fine, but [critique/steer]".

Choose to enable backups.

The blog post literally explains how to do so.

Also because normal usage has predictable usage patterns, which allows them to optimise and predict costs. Flat rate pricing only makes sense in that regime.

While I agree, if you need high profits to survive, you're not off to a great start as a nonprofit.

There is a financial incentive to make the search results worse. (More searches, more ads, more money.) There is no incentive for adding false positives to lists of malicious websi…
