It's a megafon not a platform.
I think Stanislaw Lem told us everything in Solaria...
I am afraid to ask but who is in charge of the nukes?
Not just "teach" and "expect". Even weaker versions of what certain politicians and right-wing influencers allow for themselves would result in instant detention (quite rightly) in most secondary schools.
three dots ("...") _is_ a commit message by definition
It will be a massive "Weekend at Bernie's" until it is embarrassingly obvious...
It was pretty obvious and I bet Brexit wouldn't have 52% if Cameron would have leaked this as well. But of course he didn't...
Isn't this the antithesis of Great Man Theory?
And HMS Westminster, which is hilarious on its own right. Why would an already existing vessel need an ad?
It's BAE now, I think
Yeah, this business model doesn't make sense. Your profitability or market size should increase with capex.
He can't ask for anywhere else as it's would upset Trump
Is there any news if she was actually suspended by the Fed or that Trump letter was ignored?
Big companies can lobby, that's it.
Wasn't there an analysis (probably by you) that the UK government would have a much easier job to steamroll what Trump is doing in the UK due to the constitutional setup?
We were laughing, then we were angry, but now we are just sad... I am really sorry for everything that happened over there with you.
"AI fungus" I am stealing this if you don't mind...
But this is not about the farmers. It is about what an average voter thinks about the farmers. Same as fishing. A tiny part of the population works there, yet it was one of the key topics during Brexit because everyone goes to a fish and chips and has an opinion.
We literally voted for stopping this in 2024 by an overwhelming majority and the winner decided to keep doing the same as its predecessors. This is what makes it incomprehensible.
It's Saturday morning 9:00-9:30, not exactly prime bother.
MAGA will crush them. They are Boomers on the way out, hence they lost control of the GOP in the first place. They don't have the time or the numbers. MAGA is _young_ (apart from Trump)
What's shocking is that tech people remain there for the tech content. You can't, you will still be exposed to the extreme content (often under the same tech threads they are coming for). "I heard that restaurant was infected by salmonella" "Yeah, I know, but I only go there for the soup"
Someone at @thecity.nyc spent some sweet time on that headline...
Make an example of one of them. Prison rules. (I am available for further Customer Success consulting at a reasonable rate...)
Who are their readers? Because the general public is concerned by other issues.
Send back the money and cut their access
I assume that anything from someone not relatively well known to me is AI generated. Weirdly closer connections are much briefer given they value their own time of typing. Why won't spammers adopt to this?
Jobs-To-Be-Done says that the user decides how your product used not the creator. So responsibility is on MS to _stop_ incorrect usage, like identifying in the prompt if the user asked to calculate something.
Populists always side with Russia
If you use an algorithm to order other people's free speech then you are responsible. I don't get the counter argument (oh yes, it's billions of dollars lobbying)
Yes because in 2016 VCs were still pumping money into it. If you do the Maths the business model doesn't work. Either they go bankrupt or eventually exploit the labour.
Logistics and reduced distraction/context switching is key. Actual working hours are secondary.
Don't Look Up is actually a documentary
The tune will instantly change when Labour would actually try to repeal it. "Think about the children" The populist always wants you to believe in contradicting things so they can stand for something and against something at the same time.
Yeah, how is this overlooked? It was the classic conservative/authoritarian control law that is so vague that it applies to everyone but no one knowing how to comply turning everyone a criminal. Then selectively enforce as desired. Oldest trick in the book.
Can you imagine what would happen in the papers if they try to repeal it?
I clearly remember how feel-good the summer of 2012 was. It was definitely the high point, and it is all downhill from there. The hubris of organising the Olympics...
Hot take, regulating a handful of companies would undo much of them damage. We are destroying society so Zuckerberg can have a bit of shareholder value.
Yes, _real_ stockprice is forward looking. But if your market cap is half connected to another delta 1 asset then that portion is just the price itself. To have what you describe related to a currency, you need derivatives. It's just net fraud...
Angst? Who?
_all_ concepts... let's separate the wheat from the chaff
That questions the viability of "Freedom of Press"
The guy never worked in finance. Government employees are not HF managers. Payroll numbers are closely watched by actual HF managers as they are. They understand why they need to be revised. It's part of the process.
Well, he cut the part that was responsible for content.
It's perfect that he is pushing crypto at the time everyone hyping AI. Lagging even in BS...
When I make up a stats about something I don't like I also typically go for around 25%, too high and you need to justify yourself, too low and people won't care. I'd personally would have pick 23% as 25% as "a quarter" could draw suspicion...
I was looking for the 2010 election myself. The unnecessary austerity policy was the beginning of going bad.
I bet the plan is to swap him for Vance at 2yr+1days so he can run twice.
That's a good point, but the kids definitely have physical limitations when it comes to remembering every single Maths competition problem. Also, no one claims they are anything but talented kids with some good promise for a career in Maths.
There should be more analysis on the training data correlating it with the input problem. You can't distinguish original result from recall otherwise
I gave up halfway. It was like: "Oooooh, I should have guessed that" but then: "Why would you do that?"
Yeah, because all the music from it was ripped off, repeated, copied endlessly in other media. And that's the part you are exposed since it came out. Same as Matrix bullet effect.
You would expect the exact opposite what's happening. The problem with remote working that you still need all the infrastructure that is difficult to build across large distances: Schools Internet _Public_ transportation
Did she actually name one (whose removal would have a significant impact)? Otherwise we are back in bendy bananas territory
It's also not true that it is holding back innovation. Lack of capital and lack of skilled labour (partly due to Brexit and underinvestment in education) holds it back. Only rentseekers complain about regulations (who is btw the audience of the Mansion House speech)
Democratically elected leaders are the same. Zero strategic capacity just going with the flow "Needs Reform", "Cut Waste", "Lower Taxes", and some right wing slogans and they are done.
Probably illegal content that they legally have to. The point is that they give you the explicit purpose and that's what you are consenting to. (I am not a lawyer, of course, etc) They can't just train LLMs on your IP and start a second business with Sam Altman.
If it is indeed for content moderation then it is fair use. A classifier counts as an ML model and if they need the data to train on they will have this clause in the T&Cs
I would really like to see some statistical evidence. Like what's the proportion of Gen Z? Do you mean it is surprising that _any_ Gen Z is positive about Farage? My (also non scientific) observation is that they find anything related to adults cringe especially outdated social constructs.
Because AI is not good enough OpenAI's only strategy is to becoming a platform and profit from adverts.
I am fairly sure FCO did this entire thing on purpose. In the grand scheme of things the only thing matter is to stay off his radar because he loves drama. A trade deal is practically meaningless compared to the tariff drama every Thursday, at least Starmer has one less thing in his plate.
This is why the situation in the US is far from temporary.
Genuine question why do they hate FEMA? I remember this became a thing in the Ron Paul era of Reddit when they accused them of building concentration camps. I suspect it can be another anti-vax process hurting a state function amplified by botfarms of you-know-where-from
I was expecting Sir Mix-a-lot when I unmuted the video.
Give him the IgNobel prize, he won't know the difference
They can always query the generated citations against the RAG DB with a tool call, and if it comes back empty, that was a made-up reference.
This is the fake syllogism trope: "A train whistles, Aristotle whistles, therefore Aristotle is a train" Also: yourlogicalfallacyis.com/false-cause (there should be a chatbot that automatically labels populists c**p with links to these pages)
I am trying to find some reference if they actually use a RAG (a vector database with all scientific articles processed) but to me it looks like they are doing the research with online queries which is unfeasible to be complete (you won't have enough recall for professional background research)
I would consider this a legitimate and excellent usecase for GenAI. (I bet Elsevier has really devious plans on this) Even if you just collect all content from Arxiv (with permission) that would be a huge win. If you can cut time on background research, it would speed up R&D
Fun fact, the previous name "milliard" is the name of a billion in Hungarian. I think "billio" is used for trillion but doesn't ring a bell. Trillion or versions are not used. No plans to change either, I guess we just stuck with Imperial Britain...
Hm, I vaguely remembered something to be different here between the UK and the US but apparently this was changed in 1975. I suppose we can hold a referendum on it, we can call it Blexit...
If they have a db with all the processed articles it could pretty trivially to double check if it hallucinated (run a query and feed to the ai again, iterate until conclusion) so I am not sure why they don't do this.
And it is still making up references?
There are details in here because RAGs are exactly for this but most people just yolo prompt into a vanilla ChatGPT and get surprised when it makes up things.
All this religious c**p... this is literally the middle ages... "We can't do anything so let's hope some religious ceremony will make us feel better" from the country that put a man on the Moon and defeated the nazies and the soviets. Absolute shambles...
It's unjustifiable for what it is for a SWE, at a team level it is essentially significant infra cost, you need to demonstrate massive unreplaceable value or risk elimination. All they have is "You are a bit faster (and we are not even sure)"
Dems are a center right party (not even sure about center) The main center left policies are not even mainstream in the party (yes they would be very popular but the politicians won't be elected if they advocate then)
FoxNews does branding for the Democrats. That's the problem.
For us Europeans this in fact looks like the perfect celebration for the anniversary.
Probably someone started using it around him (if he never said it before, which is probably true given the attention it is causing now)
I thought it is standard etiquette to have your phone on silent (not vibration) and in your pocket if you meet with anyone. Making it payable breaks the social contract (a la Freakonomics)
I don't want him to define who is English and who is not or even consider his point of view. You are English if you support England in football. You are Scottish if you support whoever plays _against_ England in football. It's that easy.
Ohhhh, that's a new movie... And you are not making it up... And Prianka Chopra is married to one of the Jonas Brothers??? What a celebrity update...
Honestly without checking IMDB, I have no idea if you are not just making this up...
It's not that it is a conscious choice, but the debt is paid off by the government from tax receipts. no revenue-no repayment The govts answer to this is typically inflation, but that's just makes labour related tax income worse I don't think there is a solution for this anywhere in the world tbh
This is literally the problem. We are sitting on top of 25 years of growth and what you describe didn't happen. People see this and either don't vote or vote for loonies to burn down the system.
If people (companies) don't pay taxes, no matter the growth, there won't be revenue to pay off the debt. As new economic booms since the seventies were all productivity booms they suppressed wages which stopped them govt collecting revenue from growth through income tax and consumption tax.
It's going to be the same as the nocode paradigm. Beyond a certain complexity you need dedicated focus that fast and loose founders don't have. BTW this can easily be a market induction for Supabase. I wonder about the overlap between their investors.
Nothing post hiring in-person will scale and still cost a lot of money. If you are as good as you say people will vouch for you personally. About 50% of the people (probably more) I (ever) managed I am happy to pick up the phone and give a personal recommendation.
"talented engineer" and "felt chaotic" just doesn't work together. Are the hiring manager actually good at judging people?
Yeah, which part of their precious MBA degree qualifies them to make this call? At the same time they _do_ know how to do a cost cutting by firing people. So it's more about that.
Good job they named it "Robbere"
It's trimodal because it is one random variable (salaries) that has three peaks but that itself is the combination of three factors (hence the three peaks) and that's what Gergely's article claim (that's the peaks are due to an external feature (who they work for))
What tool makes this table?
From 0.15% to 0.166% or 0.016% (these are already percentages) Miniscule
Went from 900 to 1000 on a 600 _thousand_ basis We are literally talking about a 100 babies
Wifi on the Tube is the end of civilisation as we knew it.
Thiel used Musk's money to get Palantir into position with Vance.
This is actually a good thing. You can only get out of this after hitting rock bottom. (And even then you need to get rid of Fox and most MSM)
Correct, they don't need the voters any more
