I wish you would provide more information. About time, costs, reliability (how many duds did you have? did you need to do any babysitting or etc) and so on But it is a very impressive looking demo, for sure.

Similarly, I'm a grad school student studying AI (well, computer vision). When I called my internet provider to complain and ask for maintenance (a fool with a tall truck ran on our street and tore some of the cables) I could only get

One study about faculty hiring people they know, and the other about high school students cheating on assignments... What was the original claim again?

I don't think this is the slam dunk you think this is. LinkedIn's existence is, in fact, a net negative for the human race.

Lack of will. That was one of the main results from the survey from Whitaker in 2020. Making your code reusable and easy to understand is significant work that had no direct benefits for a researcher's career. Particularly because rese

While I never measured it, this aligns with my own experiences. It's better to have very shallow conversations where you keep regenerating outputs aggressively, only picking the best results. Asking for fixes, restructuring or elaborat

Idk about interviewing, but there are many benefits to opening fake job listing (gathering a database of people, keeping track of people looking for jobs, etc) which is why people do it. Data is valuable.

That is more or less what I fear. If the top 10 percent already account for half of all consumer spending, and I equality keeps getting worse and worse, that's probably where it will end.

I abandoned Windows over 10 years ago, when a mandatory Windows 10 update rewrote by UEFI partition and messed up my dual boot setup. It took me an entire evening to fix, at which point I swore that no machine owned by me would ever run Win

Don't get me started, I have seem repos that I'm fairly sure never ran in their presented form. A guy in our lab thinks authors purposefully mess up their code when publishing on GitHub to make it harder to replicate. I'm sta

When I took business 101 in college one of the first things they taught us is that long term, fixed metrics will always become gamified, that both the ones measuring and the ones being measured will replace the real results with the metrics
