I know a freelance translator and they have more business than ever, AI being "mostly" right is not good enough in many businesses. You need oversight and most importantly - accountability in the form of a human that can put their

You can, and there are many techniques to do so - it's not super precise but you can essentially "delete" concepts out of a model.

What's your distinction between real time vs multiple steps? All computation is done in steps. Is it all one big computation? Its turtles all the way down.

Sending email is already cheap, not free. Just so happens the cost is subsidized/hidden for most regular people and its so cheap that they give it away for free. For those of us that run transactional email, the cost is ~ $0.0001 per

Anyone have any idea what the architecture/vendors they are using for inference/compute? Getting the compute to run inference for multi-trillion parameter models at any sort of scale and performance is daunting. There are a handfu

Non-profits have treasury functions.. it is prudent that many of them have some sort of cash reserves.

That statement means nothing. You could say the exact same thing about Rails and have an equally defensible position. What about its architecture makes it better?

Been following the vesuvius challenge and to me this is nothing short of alien magic tech. Incredible work.

Apple was on the USB Implementers Forum that designed USB-C so.. I would say they could definitely be credited as a co-inventor of USB-C, they also introduced one of the first devices that used USB-C.

There are some studies that suggest human brain sizes have been shrinking over the last 20,000 years. The theory is that as civilization developed the demand for individual humans to be independently intelligent has weakened because we deve

Yes. Absolutely. They will move more units and make more profit overall, and if they don't do it a competitor will.

We use headless browser providers because the companies we interact with don't and won't create a proper API for us to use. Lots of legacy web apps/portals. Saves thousands of man hours.

Everything is obvious in hindsight, but the data (and theory) at the time was that this had a really good shot at being the next big thing in a world where >90% of drugs never make it past clinical trials. 10% probability of success * $2

If you don't value your time sure. Pen and paper is also basically free and even simpler with no setup time..

Soooo.. not to sound like a luddite but to me the best dedicated writing device for me has been just pen and a notebook or a typewriter. There are surprisingly many "portable" typewriter options out there (including electronic one

How so? Most of these companies will take a hit but will be fine Alphabet, Amazon, Google, etc can write off their entire investments in AI and will be a-OK. The pure AI companies will obviously be dead.

I wouldn't blame that incident on Railway.. you can delete your prod database on AWS just as easily with their API.

Been a customer with them for over a year now, small incidents here and there but never anything this major.

Not strange, Google has never had a proper support team unless you are an "Enterprise" level customer.

They run a decent amount of their own compute/bare metal server for customer workloads. But likely still had some critical dependencies on GCP.

Absolutely dumb take. There are plenty of very bright and talented people that would have made excellent teachers but chose different career paths because - surprise surprise - the pay is better.

Yep, the COP goes down as the temperature goes up, and at a certain point it's not worthwhile increasing the temperature.

Stefan-Boltzmann law means radiative heat transfer in space is approx. to the 4th power of the hot side of your radiator. Typical space based radiators operate around 350K. If you can increase the hot side of the refrigeration cycle by 4x (

Moved object storage from AWS to CloudFlare and have been pretty happy. No problems with performance so far. Bills were 90% cheaper too (free bandwidth)
