I'm not sure where I place AI (of the current family), but more than directly worry about the actions they may perform I'm actually more worried what affects their usage can have on us as individuals and society.

It would be interesting to research more into parameter analysis to learn more about what parameters a trained network has "extracted" that has the strongest predictive power; assuming the model itself has such preductive power. I

That seems to be the case with linguistic- and group practices in general. It's not universal law, and while the overlap of correctness and even best practice is pretty big, there are still differences. Subject matter, language, abstra

"Value generation" is a term I would be somewhat wary of. To me, in this context, it's similar to drive economic growth on fossil fuel. Whether in the end it can result in a net benefit (the value is larger than the cost of i

I read it as the latter. With all the bots out there running their own blogs and making commits to projects that was the context I assumed. It reminded me of this one https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/b

I don't get it. Why should not tickets be submitted for when a new feature worsen the usability of the product?

I didn't read malice into the post, just using a tongue-in-cheek tone. My reading was "letting them know doing bad choices will not quitely be accepted". But I may ofcourse read something into it that wasn't meant.

The analogy would be mandatory inspections of certain components or manufacturing processes to see that rules and specs are followed while assembling.

This reminds me of Perkeep, but I understand this is more focused on the presentation of the data, while Perkeep was on the data storage. But maybe they could be integrated, or at least support each other's formats.

How do you think Firefox is making money, since it has no payed features? Hint: it has Google search as the default search engine.

I don't believe that is true (but I am certainly outside of my expertise). As far as I understand it, sex chromosomes (specifically the Y chromosome) are responsible for genitalia differentiation, but the relevant genes of the chromoso

>In your Windows vs. Linux example, Linux just doesn't do a lot of things very well on the UI/UX side of things (e.g., window management, driver support, an out of the box experience). That judgement confuses me a lot. Window m

I don't see any relation. Pigz is a multithreaded reimplenentation of gzip (drop in replacement)

That table is unfortunately quite old. I can't personally say what have changed, but it is hard to put much confidence in the relevance of the information.

Electrical safety -> not destroying your GPU does seem like something sellable. It could probably be spinned into some performance pitch if you really want to.

There are actually cross play solutions such as https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser , there are some limitation, but not too many. Basically disabling the features that only exists in one version.

I was an early user of Keybase, and at one point they started promoting this crypto currency, including giving away some starting capital. I understand it as a serious project for payments, rather than a cash grab for early adopters. After
