FRED lets you control for population actually! It does flatten the change a bit but it's still a bump: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1Q8J6

That seems like a thought terminating concept? Every business has risks. The employees should know what they are getting into and hopefully the business is providing resources to help keep them reasonably safe.

The framers noted that the system was vulnerable to a single "faction" [1]. The solution was to have many competing factions. I think first-past-the-post, corporate election influence, and mass media consolidated power into a sing

It appears this will be an opt in feature. Honestly it will probably help some people "hey where did I put that file?" but yes at a tremendous cost to privacy and security for those who use it. I am also weary that it is opt in &q

No singular person, it's more the value of having a large database. You visit a coffee shop, a stalker collects your dna from a fingerprint and uses the a leaked or sold database from 23andme to tie it to your identity or home address,

One advantage of uuids is they can be generated on several distributed systems without having to check with each other that they are unique. Only long ids make this reliable. Youtube ids are random and short, but youtube has to check they a

Having tons of people employ human ingenuity to manipulate existing LLMs into passing this one benchmark kind of defeats the purpose of testing for "AGI". The author points this out as it's more of a pattern matching test. Th

Not a lawyer but those contracts aren't legal. You need something called "consideration" ie something new of value to be legal. They can't just take away something of value that was already agreed upon. However they coul

The training jurisdiction one is interesting. Are future companies going to exclusively train their models in a copyright lack country? Seems like jurisdiction would be based on the copyright of the allegedly infringed images, and UK-based

I looked it up and there is a whole industry of "low voltage" or cable networking installers. I think it's more a matter of cost and that people wouldn't think to do it if their internet mostly works.

If you haven't used aws a lot then you might not know this but the old instance types stick around and you can still use them, especially as "spot" which lets you bid for server time. I had a science project which was cpu bou

I don't think that's quite right, Microsoft's main game was keeping the money train going by any means necessary, they have staked so much on copilots and Enterprise/Azure Open AI. So much has been invested into that str

Just to add another perspective, isn't sales like this at any large company? Sales is pushed hard on quotas/targets and so look for any way possible to hit those. In other words were these requests taken seriously by the product m

USPS I think from a branding perspectives wants to be compared to retail shipping and not come across and some stuffy/slow bureaucratic agency, even though they totally are.

Seems like it would be a waste of money as many students can afford it, Stanford's model of generous, guaranteed scholarships makes more sense to me.

While I do believe LLMs can perform some reasoning, I'm not sure this is the best example as all the reasoning you would ever need for Minecraft is well contained in the data set used to train it. A lot has been written about minecraft

I don't think the score necessarily reflects the strength of the case. Particularly weak cases are dismissed or handled in lower courts with appeals dismissed. Second, the court's makeup is politically decided Third, the court has

There's a bit of irony with this thread I think but this was Minix's creator's viewpoint as well: https://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/Publications/Papers/computer-2006a...

I always saw Minix3 was as a companion to the "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation 3/e by Andrew S" book which was in 2006. Probably you were only ever going to run it in a virtual machine. More of an "education

We don't have to trust their numbers, we have satellites that can monitor the emission levels. The US pollutes at roughly twice the amount on a per person basis as China. In addition we "outsource" some of our pollution to th
