It's clearly the edge of a skatepark. Not "the heart."

etc. etc... others have gone through it extensively so I won't do that again, but it's full of gratuitous added content that does not match what's in the picture at all. It seems to be aping some writing style, not going for accuracy.

What's more remarkable to me is that the authors of this do not seem to notice.

It's bizarre that you would create a project using an approach and then when assessing that project prior to publication, you would just glance at the paragraph without even reading it, and say "looks great" and move on. Details matter. This is absolute crap and we need researchers who can discern crap, not just accept anything.

Further down in the post they ask why an image showing a dog as the Mona Lisa is funny. It's actually not funny. It's an old trope, and, as such, super dull. They should realize it's funny only to a subset of people, but they don't seem to even realize that much. This team needs to get out more.

The typical method is short term alcohol abuse. Joking/not joking. The effect is mixed. Pruning may occur. Autism incurable.

There are ideologues who like to police others in every divergent group that falls in a normative IQ range. Try going to a deaf sub and happily announcing your pending cochlear implants (don't do this).

One might imagine how this may be worse in the autism group.

Heck, observe how politically oriented "totally normal" types at Psychology Today pretend to lecture the autism community on the only acceptable way to think of themselves. They're obsessed with the topic, and it'll change only every few years if lucky.
The analogy to airplanes is not relevant imo. Our lack of understanding behind the physics of an airplane is different from our lack of understanding of what an LLM is doing.

The lack of understanding is so profound for LLMs that we can’t even fully define the thing we don’t understand. What is intelligence? What is understanding?

Understanding the LLM would be akin to understanding the human brain. Which presents a secondary problem. Is it possible for an entity to understand itself holistically in the same way we understand physical processes with mathematical models? Unlikely imo.

I think this project is a pipe dream. At best it will yield another analogy. This is what I mean: We currently understand machine learning through the analogy of a best fit curve. This project will at best just come up with another high level perspective that offers limited understanding.

In fact, I predict that all AI technology into the far future can only be understood through heavy use of extremely high level abstractions. It’s simply not possible for a thing to truly understand itself.

A lot of that is nonsense. Only the ads and telemetry are issues, recent issues at that.

- Viruses and malware have not really been an issue in a decade and Windows has significantly better security than Linux at the moment,

There are problems and issues to be sure, but technically it's actually very sound.

One of the few Windows utilities that was allowed to be based on .NET, in Vista and Windows 7, was Narrator, the screen reader shipped with the OS. But Narrator was rewritten in C++ for Windows 8. That was still before I got there, but of course I asked about the history, since I was on the Narrator team. I think the deciding factor for doing the rewrite was the sluggish startup of the .NET version. I guess the need to run on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile was likely another factor, though now I don't recall if my teammates specifically said that it was.
Technical indicators work because they work.

Really - it works because other traders decided there are price points of significance based on mathematical equations and act on it. Traditional technical analysis could be seen as looking for a set of technical indicators that optimally describe the amalgamation of TA and the capital it controls on the market at the moment.

But nowadays it's very hard to make it work.

this is not restricted to the east. it’s not as explicitly culturally enshrined, but “lurk moar” is a well known way to sponge up tacit knowledge, particularly physical tacit knowledge.

watching an old guy do things like: work in his shop, organize his code, ski a clean line, repair a toilet, re-rack his tools, prep the kitchen counter to cook, etc. etc. is always valuable and i recommend doing so whenever you get the chance.
There were already teams building ML-based code completion, code suggestions, and code repair before LLMs blew up a couple years ago. So the principle of it isn't driven by AI hype.

Yes, there are oodles of people complaining about AI overuse and there is a massive diversity of opinion about these tools being used for coding, testing, LSCs, etc. I've seen every opinion from "this is absolute garbage" to "this is utter magic" and everything in between. I personally think that the AI suggestions in code review are pretty uniformly awful and a lot of people disable that feature. The team that owns the feature tracks metrics on disabling rates. I also have found the AI code completion while actually writing code to be pretty good.

I also think that the "% of characters written by AI" is a pretty bad metric to chase (and I'm stunned it is so high). Plenty of people, including fairly senior people, have expressed concern with this metric. I also know that relevant teams are tracking other stuff like rollback rates to establish metrics around quality.

There is definitely pressure to use AI as much as reasonably possible and I think that at the VP and SVP level it is getting unreasonable, but at the director and below level I've found that people are largely reasonable about where to deploy AI, where to experiment with AI, and where to AI to fuck off.
Unfortunately, in my case (and im sure many others), this code runs server side. Long running jobs, cpu intensive, etc.
Well it is open-core on GitHub right now. I think full open source is going to be difficult if you're trying to sell it. At least in the desktop application space with no account setup or other service dependency it's complicated as anyone could circumvent paying by cloning it and commenting out a few lines.

But I can fully understand your concerns, establishing trust is important. At the end of the day it's up to you whether you feel comfortable enough with it.

This is not at all the case in China's EV sector. The EV sector is China is extremely cut-throat. BYD is not living off of government subsidies. It's an extremely competitive company that has invested heavily in R&D and which has reduced costs through vertical integration.

Depends on if you are on free or Pro account as the uploader, if you are on Pro we up the bitrate substantially. Beyond this, it also depends on the device the user is listening on, we'll switch over to Opus when possible, which makes a big difference. If you want to max out the quality I would recommend you get Pro and ensure you listen on Chrome (or mobile apps). We'll do up to 320k on aac and 192k on opus. On Live we do something similar and last time I checked we did substantially higher rates than twitch on audio, but lower bitrates on the video.

If you have 8 GBs of RAM (or, for some reason, less) and have to compile Node/Rust/Go projects, it's a no-Go. But then Debian doesn't have the AUR, so you're probably good. :p

I wonder what applications he has in mind. Maybe GPGPU/ML training kind of stuff? Rampant speculation:

Cable extenders are known for messing with signal integrity. Flipping bits over long wires takes a while. ML training seems (I could definitely be wrong here) less latency sensitive than classic GPU applications, like gaming. But it does want the bandwidth. Could there be room for an active cable with repeaters? Does anyone make a cable with, like, little flip-flops in it? Can an extender act as a little buffer or pipeline or something like that?

Cunningham’s law: activate!

Clippy was on the right path at the wrong time, the issue wasn't the concept of an assistant that watches your work and provides help, the issue was it could detect a letter, offer help but the help it gave you was just a bunch of shallow formatting suggestions without context to the actual work.

An actual assistant that can preempt what you need and create it before you get there with a 95% success rate will not feel like Clippy.
Reporting differences don’t fix the fact that they also claim that 80% of these deaths are preventable.

The US healthcare system is always being designed around profit requirements and care constraints, and not vice versa. Nobody here (save for Medicare) really knows what the proper reimbursement is for care, and we waste needless amounts of time and money on quackery (naturopaths, supplements, chiropractic) instead. The reason why we open more “cancer centers” rather than adequate emergency or trauma care is because these hospital systems want to sell a Veblen good to wealthy people with cancer. There’s hope though, if we erase the weird private insurance industry we might start seeing prices and care reflect needs vs. means.

Many, many streamers have been getting away with streaming copyrighted music for a while now, by simply not recording VODs (or, recording them in such a way that the music is excluded).

My understanding is that this practice is still technically illegal (since live-broadcasting music without recording it is still something you need copyright permission for), but significantly more difficult for record companies to crack down on.

A company attrition rate is a reflection of hiring, training, and project management skills. If you have an IT culture problem, than it will manifest in the high-stress areas first. i.e. you are likely not going to survive as a business beyond 3 years.

A close relation of mine worked for a decade in the environmental consulting sector. In his case that meant a lot of long working hours and tedious research finding the cheapest possible legal solution.

He was kind of miserable at this job. He wasn't asked to bury things or hide anything, but he had studied environmental engineering because he wanted to make the Earth a better place, not to work out the limit of meeting legal responsibilities. I suspect a lot of his misery would have been mitigated if his employers paid a higher salary, but that's what the market demand was for those skills.
Not sure I quite get what you're saying, is that another scientific finding or a sarcastic remark?
but it didn't matter weather they have a reasonable use case for it

it's a gross overreach they could abuse at any point in time without any additional consent from you

one which can force you to grant them permissions you legally are not allowed to do

weather they had no intention to to abuse it really is irrelevant as long as they didn't legally constrain themselves further in ways they don't do

furthermore given Adobes post actions assuming they have no intention to abuse it and will not start having such intentions in the future is IMHO highly foolish with a large degree of worldly innocence

It'll depend a lot on the deals being struck, I can only speculate on the structure. The weird rules stem from the US copyright laws, and are therefore are impossible for a company like ours to get changed. We benefit from lower rates because of this and can make a service which will survive long term, so its a tradeoff we believe is worth it. I would stipulate that by going outside of those rules, they will have to pay a larger chunk of revenue to the labels, and it'll increase the ad load and cut the revenue passed to DJ's. Ultimately we decided that wasn't the approach we wanted to take, and the trade off was a good one, we'll find out with time which way they went.
True. We should. Until it is not possible anymore. Then we should fight.
