While obviously unjust...the headline sounds about as newsworthy as "ice cream discovered in American grocery store's frozen aisle".

Does anyone have a feel for whether the article is click-bait for the JPost's user demographic? With recent headlines, I'd hope that those folks would already have picked up on America not being any Promised Land of truth & justice.

Indeed many animated shows that don't look 3d animated have a 3d model somewhere in their pipeline these days.
Even if there's not a digital 3d model, there might be a physical model of the main locations in the studio for animators to refer to.
On a side note, next person who tries to fake it should have a better idea about how to make it more real :-)

My wife is a SAHM as well, and... I don't especially like it? Me being the only breadwinner means that, if I lose my job, we're hosed. Not as hosed as we could be (house and cars are paid off), but I don't like the feeling that it's all on my shoulders, especially given that I don't fully trust my company right now.
> That said, I prefer just raking up leaves manually. It makes no noise, it's quiet, and it's good exercise.

I think a lot of folks in these discussions think only of lawns. That's a pretty small portion of where leaf blowers get used, in my experience. The lawn mower takes care of most of the leaves on the lawn, the blower gets used around bushes and other places a rake won't work at all.

From what I’ve seen (not much actually) Most channels can be replaced by a forum style discussion board. Chat can be great for 1:1 and small team interactions. And for tool interactions.
It's mentioned in the article but easy to miss, this is an improvement on the already much much quieter electric leaf blowers that are readily available. The ones you are thinking of are two stroke gas powered ones which are loud as fuck and terrible for the environment, anyone using one of those could have gotten a quieter electric one but chose not to, which means they definitely aren't going to use this improved electric one.
Been watching your development for a while on Twitter. This is a monumental achievement and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

Farming can be hard, but every business can get insurance that covers the risks associated with that particular business. And the risks in farming and raising livestock include total loss of crop or livestock from weather and or disease.

In this case, it's not the farming that's the issue, it's the lack of setting up your business to handle the known risks of that business.

While it may be unnecessary, which I'm not entirely sure about, if it's how things have been done for 200+ years, you ought to be able to look around that corner and see that you need a plan B for that day.

Crop and livestock insurance is a well trodden path in farming, and you either need to have the cash on hand to replace your entire operation or you need to insure for the possibility that your crops don't turn out or your livestock is seriously diseased.

This applies to all businesses really.

One very important lesson I learned while talking with a physics professor, is that often, breakthrough in science are made either by chance, or because of things in other fields.

I'll repeat that same complaint: study cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology, and have more multi-domain/epistemology stuff about a definition of intelligence, and ask broader questions, especially in the realm of evolution. STOP testing ML models on GPUs.
A lot of times, it's not even spying on users. It's not wanting to put in the time and effort to determine if you are in compliance or not. So you block all of Europe and you get around to it if you ever have the resources or care. You might have been in compliance the whole time, but why chance it when IP blocking is easy. That's basically every local US newspaper right after the GDPR passed. Hell, I've worked for companies where I literally know we're not tracking users and we're pretty secure, but we block the EU because no one has the time to check if there was something specific we needed to do. My current company had to rarchitect their entire to deployment pipeline specifically for the EU, not because we changed literally anything, but the laywers found that there was about our cloud host provider that the GDPR disallowed because it was hosted on US soil. We have 1 EU client. I assume if they weren't so big we would have dropped their contract.

I wouldn't say I'm particularly hyped about "AI", but I would say that language models have gotten to the point where they are boring and useful enough to integrate into my daily workflow.

I use Kagi Ultimate, and I have gone though a valley of language model usage. I started using them a lot when I first got Ultimate to play around with them and understand their limitations. I stopped using them as much in favor of plain search after I hit those limitations. Models have since gotten considerably better, and in many cases they are more useful than regular web searches, so I have started using them a lot again.

I also run Llama 3 locally on a 7900 XTX to process information that I don't feel comfortable with / can't share with external APIs. That's definitely not the greatest, but it's also definitely good enough to be useful in a pinch sometimes.
Remove the word "serious". It's an op-ed, we can take it for what it is. The opinion of a scientist isn't science, but might be interesting.
On one hand, probably yes, on the other hand, if that's the way it's been done for 200+ years as this guy says, then it's not sound to be running a business without a plan for that until things are changed.

Anime already cuts corners by using cheap 3d models in place of 2d hand drawn objects.

The more rigid the object, the better this works. 3d cars look better than 2d cars, even in an otherwise 2d show. Mechs look a bit worse. And human characters look horrible.

Yet anime studios still do it. Including for critical highlight scenes like dance scenes (Check out Love live dance scens), because it is so, so hard to draw humans dancing.

So if anime studios are willing to do something, that looks obviously bad, as a widespread practice. There'll be 0 barriers to AI inbetweening adaptation, which would likely look BETTER than human inbetweening within a year of release.

AI anime art has already wiped out the lower-end of patreon artists, and is heavily impacting the mid-tier. Because AI has gotten more technically proficient than the average mid-tier artist. Pretty much only the higher-end can hold their heads above water. Or they have to transition to drawing comics with storylines, instead of just simple images.
If you didn't have any use for that data, why was it being stored in the first place? If it continues to not be necessary for your business, why don't you stop recording it instead of building an index to remove them after the fact?

Also a lot of that "play" is "merely" epistemic and phenomenological research, i.e. hard work. There is a lot of creativity in designing and selecting experiments that work with what is at hand. And of course discovery is fun -- that same "wonder and magic" is still experienced in adulthood when you validate something you've believed for a while or just realized.

Piaget discusses this extensively, though not in the vocabulary I used. And for the mandatory AI/CS linkage: Piaget was Papert's thesis advisor, so every RNN user or practitioner implicitly depends on Piaget's insight.
I've seen police violence in real life several times and every time it was started and repeatedly escalated by the police. A cop once two-handed his baton into my mouth like a baseball bat then broke some of my ribs stomping on me; I was handcuffed, calmly sitting on the curb, arrested at a peaceful protest.

I'm glad you like it though.
The value data has varies a lot... Something like behavioural targeting data for marketing is probably inconsequential. But what about health care or financial information? Those could have actual larger impact. And they could be handled by pretty small business.. It is easier to give generic guidelines than to specify each sector separately.

I would say we don’t really know what AGI is.

As humans, we are basically working with an N of 1 and trying to figure out what is the essential part.

At one time, being able to do math might have seemed to be it. Maybe playing chess? Maybe having a conversation (Eliza)? Mane generating art? Maybe generating summaries? They are impressive but not quite it.

We are like the shopper who only has a vague idea of what they are looking for but can tell after some inspection when it is not quite it.

I think developments in AI have been helpful in helping us learn more about human intelligence as well.

This heavy says your developers might be the problem…
To be clear you're not working on what I pointed out, you're just doing the same thing. The prompt "may" encode intent, but that has no bearing on what code gets written or stored or changed.

Think about this as well: You're creating processes that have no reasonability. I am 100% responsible for all code I write, even if I wrote it wrong, but if the code your tool generates is wrong it's not my fault, I didn't write it. Multiply this by the hundreds of thousands of times this will happen in a given year and by each employee.

Frankly, you should re-evaluate if you even want your product in the world. What kind of future hellscape are you enabling?
You are right, and I agree with the last bit for the record.

But, keep in mind that "just going electric" isn't a good option universally. It's MUCH more expensive to put together an electric setup and the number of batteries necessary to do any significant amount of work than it is to buy even a mid range backpack 2-stroke blower. Especially if you do what a lot of people do and look for used equipment to save a ton of $.

If you have a small yard or are only ever doing stuff like blowing off a deck/patio/sidewalk/driveway: battery 100%. if you need to do any significant amount of leaf management in a larger area: good luck.

I have an m18 electric, and gas Echo backpack. If im cleaning off a sidewalk/patio, cleaning gutters, etc.. im 100% using the electric. Otherwise....not so much. I don't even clean up grass clippings, mulch and cut frequently enough that they aren't an issue.

This looks like portals. Essentially how FPS games of that era worked is that they had rooms stitched together by doorways (or 'portals') as a way of occlusion culling. While perfectly capable of representing sensible geometry, it was actually not a requirement that the geometry should make sense in any shape or form and allowed arbitrary connections between rooms.

While the algorithm is interesting and I commend the authors for the algorithm, it should be noted that this is a guesstimate only. So, it's not really an efficient way to count distinct values but an efficient way to get an approximate count of distinct values.
You may know that. The Jews may know that. But every reminder and corroboration is vitally important.

In my experience, a HUGE proportion of white gentiles don't believe that racism and anti-Semitism exist. Yes, if they vote Dem, they might believe these things exist "in theory." (Maybe they even have a Black Lives Matter sticker.) But almost never in any specific instance. For a specific instance, they'll always find a "logical alternative" to explain the behavior, one that is not racism or anti-Semitism.
The data is stored in people's brains for a lifetime. The data is worthless afterwards, so this is indefinite storage for all intents and purposes.

Safety on paths makes sense, but in many neighborhoods, that’s doable with a rake in a few minutes vs an hour to do the lawn with a blower.

My neighborhood has a landscape crew do the leaves in the common areas 3x season. If we just had them do the paths and parking lot, it would be half the time (or less) with blowers.

> In my opinion anyone should be free to decide how they define their roles in their relationship/marriage. If both are happy in a "traditional" marriage with a breadwinner and a housewife, who am I to judge, but there is something very eerie about how radical some people can get about these things.

Algorithms reward extremism. Every major social media algorithm takes what you're already consuming and tries to find more of it. Ergo, the more things your content is "more" than, the greater audience pull you'll get. This is basically what created the alt-right, or the intellectual dark web, or whatever you want to call it. Attention economies naturally produce more extreme views because people are monetarily incentivized to become more extreme. This isn't a new thing, we saw this much earlier in different ways with radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones, just as with most things, the Internet and social media cranked it up to 11.

To what extent they "really believe it" is between them and their supposed god and I wouldn't speculate on it. I'm sure many do. I'm sure many also turn the camera off and say "thank fuck we're done for this week" then resume a relatively banal existence. Both however are corrosive to society.
If I "blinked" when I was 40 (in the sense of not paying much attention to what was happening over what felt like a not particularly long period of time), maybe a week would go by.

Now, it's months. Or maybe it's an effect closer to memory "time compression". When I was 40, 6 months of memories was quite a distinct cluster of different things. Now, 6 months of memories is closer to one memory. It's not precisely like that, and certainly not all the time, but that's a handwaving general description of how I perceive things these days.
I don't think that's the point. Death is just a dead-obvious example of the fundamental reality that our actions are constrained. Like I guess I could grudgingly admit that maybe hustle culture's absolutely absurd levels of optimism or self belief might somehow help a person overcome obstacles, but I can't help but feel that a person who thinks this way just fundamentally doesn't understand how the universe works.

We're all just one head injury from being unable to most of the things we want. Too much kinetic energy and we die or become permanently maimed. This is an unpleasant thing to consider, but I have trouble accepting that its better to delude oneself.

In my experience people who have the "I can do anything!" attitude tend to step on everyone else's toes and take up space from people with better ideas but a more realistic self appraisal. The whole "go big or go home" attitude typical of some parts of startup culture takes up a lot of resources from great ideas that are more realistic.

Further, there wasn’t a giant asymmetry of information.

I don’t actually completely agree with the premise, but even taking it at face value, everyone knew what everyone else is doing. That is very different than some far off entity subtly cataloging everything about you in the background, where you only have a mere notion of the full scope of its existence.
