I think a "reversed" south-at-the-top is a good idea to at least be aware of. I don't think it makes sense to reverse it since it just flips the problem, but it is (very slightly?) unlucky for the southern hemisphere.

Maybe this is silly: what about zero-width spaces or other hidden characters? Add them in post-processing, and the response quality doesn't degrade (though rendering etc. might be wonky).

I have the same feeling but don't really know why. Why do I dislike reading LLM text so much? Weird

Loaded it on a pixel phone, saw a list of countries with no context about what picking one meant, saw a map but didn't understand how to interact with it, and that was about it.

It might be worth looking into probabilistic programming languages. I'm out of date, but I remember webppl, stan, anglican, pymc (a python library). Seems worth an investigation and maybe mention on the article.

Decisions by small groups should be the default. Others only need to be involved if the risk/consequences of failure are high. I started ignoring all PRs from our large team because we had a similar policy. My teammates can handle, the

I recommend finding a real project that is likely to have some complex needs. It's easier to learn when there are real problems to solve.

In general, the harder it is to undo and the broader the consequence, the more you need to check.

If Imagen generates a digital painting after my prompt, I didn't make the painting. I don't want them to say "I wrote it." They're still responsible, but it's helpful to know they weren't deeply involved i

I have no problem with my credentials being revoked everywhere before I know about a layoff. I don't really care how I learn about it, just please don't make me come in to the office.

What models are you using, on what type of codebases, with what tools?

I feel the same way. In general, I prefer working on a couch with my laptop. My eyes aren't great and I end up ruining my posture at a desk, invariably.

"...the system described here does it all automatically: It proposes optimizations using LLMs, formally verifies safety properties, shadow-evaluates against real production traffic, and hot-swaps improved code into running services wit

> To increase the contrast of our sampling vector, we might raise each component of the vector to the power of some exponent. How do you arrive at that? It's presented like it's a natural conclusion, but if I was trying to adju

Maybe try finding a software engineering job at a place that also uses your scientific expertise. You may be able to find or create opportunities there. The position might not exist, but you can maximize your chances of something coming you

Absolutely not. It's not like there isn't a million other images that work just fine. It's a symbol (even if most people don't know) of the objectification of women, that is pervasive in a field that struggles enough wit

I have an MSI with Linux and Windows on it. I prefer to do everything in Linux and mostly only use Windows for games. I'm a programmer, and working in Windows sounds kinda scary to me. I don't think your question deserves the down
