My salary literally doubled just working remote/hybrid for London companies around COVID. I much prefer the lifestyle now I work for a smaller company in Canterbury and get paid less for the role. Turns out all that extra travel and ov

This is already done, there's hashed indexes of known CSAM and you can apply vector steering to the latent space to shift detections to trigger on CSAM material. You can also use two detectors for age estimation and a separate one for

I mean, none of the videos show it completing a task successfully as I see it! 1. Doesn't look like it's stirring well enough to prevent burning 2. Seems to just be picking up vertical cans and grabs the napkin unintentially, neve

I gather this is a vague snarky comment loosely implying that vegans don't get enough B12. If so, it's a profoundly ignorant point that shows you don't have any knowledge of a typical vegan diet nowadays.

We used to charge innocent men for room and board in prison after being released here in the UK not long ago. They only changed this in 2023 after uproar in a recent case of an innocent man being freed.

It's more a comment about the feature detection I think; all image, video and audio input contribute to the same weights/activations that can produce image, video and audio output.

This is short-sighted IMO, I bet money that once the dust settles with the current LLM-boom that Google will still be around and pioneering in AI across the board. They aren't locked in to Nvidia, they have world class research, they a

"If they did it right" is a bearing a lot of weight there. The window of "getting it right" has shrunk over the last 40 years and it's delusional to argue otherwise. People like myself are comparing themselves to th

There's a project that's going well from NASA for this. Still a moonshot but they've progressed through the early stages well so far. https://www.nasa.gov/general/direct-multipixel-imaging-and-s...

Hmm, if you read his previous blog posts pre-ai the tone is not much different. I hate the idea that this dude may just sound like AI at this point by accident.

I personally think the answer should be mandating user controls of said algorithms. If you have a large social media site that suggests results or provides a feed then you must allow users to configure said feed. The default should be simpl

This feels a bit out of touch. These policies have a lot of public support here in the UK. All of our parent friends are lauding it despite my complaints.

Yeah, I don't think I'm ever getting that €600 back from Hertz Calais. Still bitter about it.

The whole thing is a cobbled together bodge over SharePoint as a backend. I wouldn't ever trust my company data with that dogwater product. Back when I had to work with it I found a bug that could cause folders to become un-synced with

It's an interesting point but I fear Go's FFI is going to kneecap its ability to be widely adopted unless that story improves significantly. It's a lovely language if your interop with other languages is minimal.

You can reveal it later when you come up with a new mechanism and out all the fake images. Basically the first layer is first defence, second layer is cleanup when releasing a new mechanism. That way your generated images will always be ide

This is what stopped me from picking up Podman more, all our devs use Docker and have been writing compose files for years now. When the response at the time was "you're using Podman wrong, Quadlets are the hot stuff now" it

While modern LLMs are a far cry from biological synapses, I do find it fascinating that if you take the highly reciprocal data of a biological connectome and unroll it into a DAG, you suddenly see motifs popping up that look similar to what

Yeah actually I haven't been dissapointed with the quality of the new videos so far, I will hold my breath though as venture capitals priorities aren't always aligned long-term.

It's been bought up by venture capital and it's rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way with the changes by the new management.

You can hard-code them. Just write a setup script that imports your desired keys from a .env file or something: ``` docker exec $CONTAINER $BIN key import --yes "$S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID" "$S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" ```

I very much disagree, there's just too many engineering hurdles for us to surmount for this to be a reasonable solution. When you actually break down the physics, the scale works against you. You can't have "one giant compute

I wonder when the first AIs will start cause psychosis intentionally to gain control over the user. It seems like a good route to getting your own subservient puppet.

Yeah this is all over Rust codebases too for good reason. The argument is that default params obfuscate behaviour and passing in a struct (in Rust) with defaults kneecaps your ability to validate parameters at compile time.

I always seem to end up with local admin at the bigger places I've been at because I'm so annoying with onboarding and requesting access to download development tools.

Yep, I went through the exact same pains. We desperately wanted to move to something else and I kept steering us away from Jenkins as I'd experienced its pains at a previous role. We evaluated tons of different options and begrudgingly
